Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & CommentarySandra Birchmore Was 15 When Prosecutors Say It Started. Why Couldn't She Walk Away?
A federal jury has decided Matthew Farwell killed Sandra Birchmore and her unborn child, ending a relationship that prosecutors said began when she was a teenager in his department's youth program. On Hidden Killers, psychotherapist Shavaun Scott helps me understand why Sandra still wanted him.
Sandra called him Officer Farwell when she was in high school. Years later, she believed he would leave his wife for her, wanted his last name on her baby's birth certificate, and asked that he at least stop by on holidays.
Shavaun walks through how attention from an older man in uniform lands on a girl who looks up to him, how that history resets what she believes she deserves, and why switching between affection and coldness keeps a woman hooked. We also talk about the day a woman sees she was being used, and how to talk to a friend who answers every warning with "but I love him."
Farwell faces mandatory life at his February sentencing.
