John Fanning Closed Sandra Birchmore's Case With No Warrant and a Bullet-in-the-Head Line

On February 11th, 2021, Sgt. John Fanning and Trooper Matthew Dunne interviewed William Farwell about his twin brother and Sandra Birchmore. William admitted his own relationship with Sandra. According to the prosecution's opening statement, Fanning told him Sandra's death was a suicide, nothing was criminal, they weren't investigating, and they needed an investigation like they needed a bullet in the head. Fanning was the supervisor. Dunne testified Fanning made the tactical decisions, including the parking lot interview with Matthew Farwell that was never recorded. No search warrant was ever obtained. The same Norfolk CPAC unit under Fanning handled the Karen Read case, where a trooper was fired and the jury acquitted. Bob Motta breaks down what the man in charge allegedly said and what it did to the case. Farwell is charged federally with killing Sandra and her unborn child. His defense says she took her own life.
