It took five years, an FBI investigation, and a family’s relentless fight to finally bring Sandra Birchmore’s case to court.
Now, former Stoughton police officer Matthew Farwell faces trial in October 2026 — charged with killing the young woman he groomed since she was twelve.
In this blistering Hidden Killers exposé, Tony Brueski walks through the institutional rot that let predators in uniform operate unchecked. From the grooming that began in the Police Explorers program to the staged “suicide” scene that local authorities rubber-stamped, this is a story of corruption, complicity, and survival.
Federal prosecutors say Farwell strangled Sandra when she became pregnant and planned to expose him. Local police called it suicide. It took the FBI to call it what it was — murder.
Tony dissects the timeline, the cover-up, and the moral collapse of a system that protects its own before it protects victims. This case isn’t just one department’s disgrace — it’s a national warning.
