Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary

Farwell’s defense called Sandra Birchmore’s ex-boyfriend to show the jury a page from her journal listing reasons to end her life and reasons not to. At the bottom, William Kilroy says, he wrote something in his own hand. He told the jury Sandra talked about wanting to join her grandmother and later threatened to kill herself and name him in the note. The medical examiner’s office kept a bone from Sandra’s neck in a jar for more than three years but never had the broken necklace that was around her neck when she was found. A relative found it on Sandra’s bedroom floor. Prosecutors pressed Kilroy on cross and asked if Sandra was a fighter, if she was resilient. He said yes to each. Everything Kilroy described happened three to five years before Sandra died, and in all of his testimony, Matthew Farwell’s name never came up. The defense calls its psychiatrist Friday.

Within a day of Sandra Birchmore being found, prosecutors in the Matthew Farwell trial say, several people told State Police she couldn't have died by suicide. Her death was still ruled a suicide in May 2021.
The DA cited that ruling when he decided against charges. The medical examiner who made it testified for the prosecution that she gets her information from other agencies. She also said she was never asked if the death was suspicious.
In Massachusetts, her office and the State Police sit under the same state public safety office, and the State Police crime lab tested Sandra's blood. Farwell has pleaded not guilty. His lawyers say Sandra took her own life.
Eric Faddis prosecuted cases before becoming a defense attorney, and retired agent Robin Dreeke ran the FBI's counterintelligence behavioral program. Both join me to ask who should get the final word on how someone died.

Prosecutors say Matthew Farwell, a former Stoughton police detective, wrote his closest friend a goodbye eleven days before he drove his truck head-on into a utility pole. By their account, he wrote it the day reports surfaced that the Birchmore family's pathologist had deemed Sandra's death a homicide.
In it, they say, he told that friend he'd see him "on the other side." The FBI was already on the case when he crashed near his Easton home. Police reports say the pole snapped in two and every airbag went off.
The state says he strangled a pregnant Sandra and staged it as a suicide. He's pleaded not guilty.
Prosecutor turned defense lawyer Eric Faddis and Robin Dreeke, once the FBI's behavioral chief, are with me. Judging how Farwell acted after Sandra was gone takes no medical training, and that's where we start.

Lori Vallow's niece and Matthew Farwell's twin brother were each close enough to see what was happening. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott and retired FBI behavior chief Robin Dreeke join me for the full panel on Melani Pawlowski. We go from the aunt she called by a mother's name to the recorded calls in Rexburg and the custody fight she waged a week after Lori's arrest. Then Shavaun takes on William Farwell, the Stoughton cop who had his own affair with Sandra Birchmore. When she was pregnant, he texted asking her to hook up, and said if she didn't, he'd go home to his wife. Months after she died, he joked about Matthew wiping his phones. Melani has never been charged in the shooting at Brandon Boudreaux and denies any part in it. Prosecutors say Matthew strangled Sandra and staged a suicide, and he has pleaded not guilty.

Christopher Quaratino was seven years old when his stepfather moved him into a house where four children had been shot in their beds thirteen months earlier. Thirty years later, he called George Lutz "a perpetrator and an instigator." George did not return the reporter's calls.
The book came out in 1977 with three words on the cover: A True Story. It sold millions. The movie earned eighty million dollars. Their own lawyer said later they had created the story over bottles of wine, and a federal judge in Brooklyn agreed.
George trademarked the name Amityville Horror and sued Christopher in a Nevada court in 2003 over it. The stepson he had moved into a murder house, the boy whose childhood went into a book and a movie he profited from, was now the defendant in his trademark case.
Christopher and his brother Daniel both said George hit them and dabbled in the occult. Their sister Missy was five. She has never spoken about it.
