Sandra Birchmore Obituary News: Stoughton police officers’ relationships with woman who later killed herself EXPLAINED.
According to a police internal affairs investigation made public on Friday, three Stoughton police officers had inappropriate ties with a young lady who killed herself last year while expecting her first child and occasionally texted her while on duty to set up meetings.
Sandra Birchmore, 23, had been announcing to her acquaintances that she was expecting the child of one of the cops, Detective Matthew G. Farwell, 36, a married parent and past president of the patrolmen’s union. Through the department’s youth explorers program, which promotes young people to vocations in law enforcement, they first connected when Birchmore was just 13 years old.
