On Wednesday, Acting U.S. Attorney Joshua Levy announced federal charges against Matthew Farwell. He is accused of grooming Sandra Birchmore from a young age through a police program, then later killing her and staging it to look like a suicide.
Sandra Birchmore died in February 2021 when she was 23 years old. She was pregnant at the time of her death.

Sandra Birchmore was Murdered
Originally her death was ruled a suicide.
Dissatisfied with the initial ruling, Birchmore’s family sought the expertise of Dr. Michael Baden, the former chief medical examiner for New York City. Dr. Baden conducted an independent investigation and wrote a letter to the family’s attorney, expressing his disagreement with the suicide ruling.
He concluded Birchmore’s death was a suicide by hanging.
He stated that her cause of death was strangulation and pointed to a fractured bone in her neck as evidence. This type of injury, according to Dr. Baden, is “rarely, if at all, seen in suicidal hanging and does occur in half of homicidal strangulations of women.”
