Sandra Birchmore believed Matthew Farwell was coming around. He brought ginger ale to her apartment. She texted a friend that things were getting better. She was pregnant, making plans, contacting lawyers, preparing for a future she would never see. Farwell was making different plans entirely.

According to federal prosecutors, Farwell told one person that if Sandra didn’t end the pregnancy, he would “take care of the problem himself.” He told another he needed to “put crazy back in the bag.” He told a third that “the problem was going to take care of itself.” Three different people. Three different conversations. All pointing toward a man who viewed a pregnant woman as a problem to be eliminated.

Sandra wasn’t just talking to friends. She had contacted lawyers. Prosecutors say she was developing a plan for child support and was prepared to disclose that Farwell had abused her since she was underage. For a married detective with a pregnant wife at home, Sandra had become an existential threat to everything he’d built.

Then came January 20, 2021. Eleven days before Sandra’s death. Her friend called the Stoughton Police Department to report Farwell’s relationship with Sandra. The department employee who took the call told Farwell. The institution that should have protected Sandra hand-delivered the warning to the man prosecutors say killed her.

On February 1, surveillance cameras captured Sandra walking in and out of her Canton apartment building. At 9:27 PM, Farwell entered. At 9:56 PM, he left. Sandra was never seen alive again.

This is Part 2 of a five-part series on the Sandra Birchmore case.
