Two days after Sandra Birchmore's body was found, former Stoughton police detective Matthew Farwell told troopers in a school parking lot their relationship started in 2020. The trooper who interviewed him testified that was a lie, and prosecutors say it started when she was 15.

Prosecutors also say he kept telling Sandra to delete their texts, though other women he was involved with testified he never asked them to. According to the state, he strangled her while she was pregnant.

He entered a not guilty plea, and his defense claims she ended her life when he called it off. Before his arrest, prosecutors say, he wrote a goodbye asking his best friend to help raise his children.

Eric Faddis went from prosecutor to defense attorney, and Robin Dreeke ran the FBI's counterintelligence behavioral program before retiring. We ask how you separate lies hiding an affair from lies hiding a killing.
