Sandra Birchmore Death: How Did Sandra Birchmore Die? EXPLAINED
According to a police internal affairs report made public on Friday, three Stoughton police officers had inappropriate relationships with Sandra Birchmore, a young woman who committed suicide last year while hoping for her first child. The officers occasionally text the pregnant woman to set up gatherings while on duty.
Who Is Sandra Birchmore?
Sandra Birchmore, 23, had been announcing to her mates 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 programme, which promotes young people to vocations in law enforcement, they first connected when Birchmore was just 13 years old.
Until her dying days, she was “failed by and exploited by persons of authority that she admired and trusted.” Her everlasting respect for police officers, military personnel, individuals in uniform, and those with oaths and duties to protect and serve has been a constant in her life from childhood. This admiration has caused her to connect with men eager to take advantage of her.
The girl and two other officers in the department, a different police officer and a military recruiter outside the town were the subjects of a 19-month internal inquiry by the Stoughton Police Department.
Officer Robert C. Devine and William Farwell, identical to Matthew Farwell, were the other two Stoughton policemen mentioned in the report. McNamara said that William had “several inappropriate physical interactions” with Birchmore and sent the girl sexual messages and images while he was on duty, according to evidence unearthed during the investigation.
According to McNamara, she is attempting to have all three of the former officers’ certifications from the Massachusetts Peace Officer Standards, and Training (POST) Commission cancelled. If successful, this would prevent them from working as police officers anyplace in the country. All three have left the organisation.
At the press briefing, McNamara expressed his anger and heartbreak over the report’s conclusions. Ngnews247.com
