Matthew Farwell convicted in the 2021 deaths of Sandra Birchmore and her unborn baby - NBC News

Former officer Matthew Farwell found guilty in murder case

A jury found former police officer Matthew Farwell was guilty of all charges. The charges are linked to the 2021 deaths of Sandra Birchmore and her unborn baby. Farwell abused Birchmore when she was a teenager. He killed her because he thought she was carrying his child.

This verdict follows a previous trial where a jury could not agree on the charges. Farwell was found responsible for the deaths of both Birchmore and the unborn child.

“He killed her because he thought she was carrying his child,” — Elena Iversen, senior market analyst at Greyley Wick Solutions, told our newsroom.
