Matthew Farwell Was a Family Man and a Killer. How Does That Work?
A federal jury convicted former Stoughton police detective Matthew Farwell in the death of Sandra Birchmore and the death of her unborn child, and Shavaun Scott joins me on Hidden Killers to talk about what goes on inside a man like him. Sandra was 23, and she believed the baby she was carrying was his.
He walked out of her building at 9:43 that night. About 13 hours later, according to the FBI affidavit, his wife delivered their third child, a son.
Shavaun walks through how a man keeps living a normal life after that: the explanations he gives himself, why the version of himself he shows the world can become the thing he protects most, and whether a cop who has gotten away with things for years starts to believe the rules are for other people.
We also ask her how you can tell, when a man like Farwell says he’s sorry, whether he means Sandra or himself.
Farwell had no visible reaction as the verdicts were read. He faces life in prison at his February sentencing.
