Did Police Decide Sandra Birchmore's Case Before Any Doctor Did?

Prosecutors say the medical examiner in the Sandra Birchmore case never came to the scene. Her office says it has since increased how often it sends investigators to death scenes.

Her May 2021 suicide ruling is what the DA pointed to when he declined to charge anyone. She testified on October 26, 2026, that she counts on other agencies for information. She added that she was never asked whether it was a suspicious death.

Within the first hour after Sandra was found, prosecutors say, police told her office it wasn't foul play. Matthew Farwell, a former detective in Stoughton, has pleaded not guilty. Prosecutors have rested in his federal trial.

Eric Faddis, a former prosecutor who switched to defense work, joins me live with the FBI's retired behavioral chief Robin Dreeke. Was Sandra's case closed on police say-so? Drop your answer in the comments.
