Here's your host, Emmy Award-winning journalist Joel Waldman.

What's up, SDS Nation, and welcome... journalist Joel Waldman.

What's up, SDS Nation, and welcome to another live episode of Surviving The Survivor, the podcast that promises to bring you the very best guests in all of true crime and for full disclosure tonight's

story incredibly incredibly disturbing yet another disturbing story involving a minor who she became an adult,

but the things that happened to her is a minor are despicable. A former Stoughton, Massachusetts police detective has been

federally indicted in the death of Sandra Birchmore. He is accused of killing her and then staging her apartment to make it appear

like she had unalived herself. Matthew Farwell 38. He is accused of having this sexual relationship with

Sandra Birchmore from the time she was 15 years old until the age of 23 when the government now the Fed say

Matthew Farwell took her life and he did this sometime after she revealed to him that she

became pregnant with his child so this is just an absolute abomination, a mess, and certainly does not reflect well on law enforcement in any way.

Federal prosecutors went on to say that he did all this to prevent her,

Senator Birchmore, from revealing their relationship and his alleged crimes obviously tied to it.

We are welcoming in our best guest to break all this down.

There's a bunch of layers to this story.

Tonight's plan is to kind of just lay them all out and get a discussion going. I'm going to have

two FBI agent, Scott Duffy and Rob DeMico on tomorrow at one o'clock to discuss this story again from their perspectives as federal agents as

this is a federal case. Without further ado, Peter Ellican, he is a Boston-based

criminal defense attorney, a bar leader, an on-air expert, a legal

commentator, a college instructor, an author.

He has done it on, including being named a super lawyer in New England.

He's also the author of super predators. Hope you're not
