What Sandra Birchmore Put on the Sign She Made for Farwell

Sandra Birchmore made a sign to tell a man he was going to be a father, sprinkled it with glitter, and put her ultrasound picture on it. Her family found it when they cleaned out her Canton apartment after she was found dead on February 4, 2021, along with a stroller still in the box and a load of laundry left in the washer. Part 1 of this two-part series tells her story from the beginning, because February 1 doesn't make sense without 2010.

That's the year Sandra, 12, applied to the Stoughton Police Explorers. She had no father. Her mother was sick. She wanted to be a cop, and the department ran a program for kids like her. Robert Devine directed it, the Farwell twins taught in it, and the town later couldn't find a record that any of them completed the youth-protection training the program required.

Stoughton's own sixty-page internal report, released in September 2022, found Matthew Farwell's inappropriate relationship with Sandra began in the spring of 2013, at 15. It found William Farwell messaged her from his shifts and misused police databases. It found Devine met her on duty in December 2020 under a fake Facebook name, then denied it. None of the three has been charged by the state.

Sandra told Farwell she was pregnant on December 28, 2020. Prosecutors say he replied that he had nothing to say, and within weeks told her he wished she would die. Her therapist saw her on January 31 and, the FBI says, found no suicidal thinking. On February 1 Farwell texted "come by for a second," and building video shows him inside for 29 minutes. Her phone counted eight steps at 9:40 p.m. and then went still. He has pleaded not guilty. Part 2 is the investigation.
