The FBI Studied Sandra Birchmore’s Neck Bone and Its Expert Said THIS for Farwell

Sandra Birchmore’s hyoid sat in a jar from 2021 until the FBI took her case in 2024. The FBI sent it to Dr. Angi Christensen’s lab in Quantico, where she CT-scanned it and found one fracture on the right side, from around the time Sandra died. On November 3rd she testified for Matthew Farwell’s defense, not the government that commissioned her report. What Farwell’s lawyers wanted was her view that no set amount of force breaks a hyoid. What prosecutor Elizabeth Riley took on cross was her agreement that Sandra’s unfused bone was less likely to break and that she knows of no study where a seated hanging broke one in a person under 40. The defense’s DNA expert, Maher Noureddine, opened the day arguing the strap was mishandled and the lab’s mixture misread. Closing arguments are Friday, November 6th.
