Sandra Birchmore told people everything, prosecutor Elizabeth Riley reminded the jury, down to a hangnail or being hungry. On the night she died, she sent nothing.
In closing arguments on Nov. 6, 2026, the government asked jurors to find that former Stoughton detective Matthew Farwell strangled Sandra and staged her death to keep her from exposing a relationship prosecutors say began when she was 15 in the department's youth program. Tony and retired FBI behavior chief Robin Dreeke weigh what prosecutor Brian Fogerty put in front of the jury, including the words Farwell said to a fellow detective and the mask he wore into her building.
Farwell has pleaded not guilty. Robin also explains why investigators who heard about a torturous relationship let Farwell walk away from an unrecorded parking-lot interview.
