Sandra Birchmore Murder, How Stoughton PD’s Culture of Cover-Up Enabled a Tragedy

True Crime Today | A True Crime Podcast

In the latest episode of “Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski,” retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke discusses the tragic case of a 23-year-old woman, Sandra Birchmore, who was groomed from the age of 12 by a police officer, Matthew Farwell, from the Stone Police Department. The abuse allegedly extended to Farwell’s brother and possibly involved a cover-up by the head of the police explorer program. The case has drawn significant attention due to its proximity to Canton, Massachusetts, an area already scrutinized for questionable police work. Dreeke highlights the systemic issue of people in power exploiting vulnerable individuals for their own purposes and the tragic consequences that follow. He expresses deep empathy for the victim, who had aspirations of joining law enforcement but was instead manipulated and abused. The conversation underscores the need for accountability and systemic change to protect young people from such exploitation.
