A year ago, our Sandra Birchmore episode aired. A lot has changed. The charges changed. The evidence changed. And one thing we reported in that episode was wrong — we correct it on camera.Matthew Farwell, a former Stoughton Police detective in Massachusetts, is now facing federal trial on October 5, 2026 for the death of Sandra Birchmore, a 23-year-old police explorer who was found dead in her Canton apartment in February 2021. The official cause of death remains suicide. The federal government disagrees.In this update, Drew and Jon break down everything that has changed since the original episode — including newly disclosed DNA evidence, Apple Health data that establishes a precise digital timeline, three independent premeditation witnesses, and the detail that may be the most damning piece of evidence in the entire case: what Matthew Farwell allegedly demonstrated at a work party months before the arrest.We also cover the Canton audit conducted by Five Stones Intelligence, the four law enforcement officers who have been decertified by the POST Commission, and what both sides are bringing into federal court in October.Drew Breasy is a retired police commander with 29 years of experience in criminal investigations, narcotics, wiretap and warrant construction, and interview and interrogation. Jon is an active 911 dispatcher and certified crisis negotiator with 11 years of frontline experience. Neither of us is an attorney.Sandra Birchmore wanted to be a police officer her whole life. She trusted people who wore the badge with her safety. We will hold them accountable just the same.Trial date: October 5, 2026 | US v. Farwell | District of Massachusetts
