On Hidden Killers Live, psychotherapist Shavaun Scott and I talk about why Sandra Birchmore kept going back to Matthew Farwell, the former Stoughton detective a federal jury just convicted of killing her and her unborn child.

Sandra met Farwell as a kid through the Stoughton Police Explorers. Prosecutors said their relationship began when she was fifteen. By the time she was pregnant, she was planning a party for the baby and had told more than 80 people about the baby she believed was his.

Shavaun and I talk about what it means to a fifteen-year-old when a grown man she admires singles her out, how years of that can shape what a woman tolerates in every relationship after, and why unpredictable affection can pull her in deeper. We get into what happens inside someone the day she realizes he was using her, and what to say to a friend who won't hear a word against him.

One of Sandra's friends testified she was the happiest she'd been since losing her mother and grandmother. Farwell will be sentenced in February, and his conviction carries a mandatory life term.
