Sandra Birchmore’s apartment building camera captured Matthew Farwell entering with a face covering on the evening prosecutors say he killed her. A Stoughton police colleague told jurors that Farwell disliked masks, making the footage unusually important to the prosecution’s account.

Farwell’s defense says he visited to end the relationship and Sandra later took her own life. Prosecutors allege he staged the scene. What investigators did after receiving the surveillance footage now matters almost as much as what it depicts.

Trooper Matthew Dunne described arranging a conversation with Farwell in a school parking lot. He testified that no notes were taken and no recording was made, a choice intended to keep Farwell talking. Dunne also acknowledged that investigators did not interview a neighbor and did not preserve certain items at the scene. The state investigation initially treated Sandra’s death as self-inflicted.

Tony Brueski and criminal defense attorney Bob Motta scrutinize those decisions while psychotherapist Shavaun Scott examines the dangers of interpreting a suspect’s behavior from a few visible actions. Farwell’s visit, his clothing, and the gaps in the first investigation are evidence jurors must weigh, not shortcuts to a verdict. Why did so many steps go unrecorded in a case involving a police officer?
