Evidence In Sandra Birchmore Case Overlooked? Death Investigator On "Things You See With A Struggle"

Sandra Birchmore was found dead in her Canton, Massachusetts apartment in February 2021. She was 23 and pregnant. Her death was swiftly ruled suicide, then changed by the state's medical examiner to undetermined in 2026 — five years later. Now, former Stoughton officer Matthew Farwell faces federal trial for killing her and covering it up. He has pleaded not guilty. In this episode of Criminally Obsessed, investigative reporter Anne Emerson sits down with death investigator Joseph Scott Morgan to break down the evidence and unanswered questions surrounding Birchmore’s death. The "Body Bags with Joseph Scott Morgan" host examines the position in which Birchmore was found, the duffel bag strap used as a ligature, and injuries including a fractured neck bone and broken nose. He explains why those details stand out to him as a death investigator and what questions should have been asked before the case was initially classified as a suicide. Morgan also discusses the role of the medical examiner and law enforcement in a death investigation, and why he believes the circumstances surrounding Birchmore’s death warranted a closer look from the beginning. Farwell has pleaded not guilty and maintains that Birchmore died by suicide.
