Grooming, Murder, and a Broken System, The Toxic Culture Inside Stoughton PD That Enabled The Murder Of Sandra Birchmore

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary

In the latest episode of “Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski,” retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke discusses the tragic case of Sandra Birchmore, a 23-year-old woman who was groomed from the age of 12 by police officer Matthew Farwell. The abuse allegedly involved Farwell’s brother and possibly 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 criticizes the systemic issue of power abuse within the police force, highlighting how Sandra’s friend reported the abuse to the police, only for the information to be relayed back to Farwell, leading to Sandra’s death a month later. Dreeke emphasizes the need to address the culture within the police department that allows such abuses to occur and calls for accountability and systemic change to protect vulnerable individuals.
