🕒 Case Lineup 🔹 Sandra Birchmore – Groomed, isolated, and ultimately silenced. Sandra Birchmore was born May 13, 1997, and endured a childhood marked by loss and instability. At 12, she joined Stoughton PD’s Youth Explorers Program, where she was groomed by Officer Matthew Farwell. Their relationship escalated into years of abuse, manipulation, and control. In 2020, Sandra became pregnant and believed the baby was Farwell’s. She named the child Anaya Grace and prepared a nursery, clinging to hope he’d accept them. But Farwell distanced himself, mocked her, and escalated control. On February 1, 2021, he visited her apartment. Thirty minutes later, she was dead. Her body was found days later with signs of strangulation—yet authorities ruled it suicide. Evidence—over 35,000 texts and journal entries—was hidden until the FBI stepped in. In 2024, Farwell was charged with Sandra’s murder. DNA showed he wasn’t the baby’s father, making his actions even more horrifying. Three officers, including Farwell’s twin and former Deputy Chief Devine, were found to have had sexual relationships with Sandra. The same officers also had roles in the controversial Karen Read case—exposing deeper systemic failures. DA Michael Morrissey, criticized for conflicts of interest, refused to recuse himself from either case. Independent journalists like Microdots and Turtleboy helped shine a light on Sandra’s story, connecting it to broader corruption. Her name was banned during Karen Read’s trial, but supporters refused to stay silent. A 2021 study shows homicide is the leading cause of death for pregnant women in the U.S.—most often by partners. Sandra deserved protection, not betrayal. Justice for Sandra. Justice for Anaya Grace.
