Episode Details

"I should have just walked away and let you hurt yourself." Matthew Farwell wrote that to Sandra Birchmore on December 28, 2020, when she was three and a half weeks pregnant and had just told him it might be better if she'd never been born. Matthew Farwell trial: the FBI read his texts to the jury.

That same night Sandra was texting friends about baby-shower themes, and the next morning she booked hair for maternity photos. On January 8, 2021, he drafted a note on his phone saying that given the choice between killing someone and choking someone, he'd choose to choke. Sandra died twenty-four days later. She was found hanging from her closet door handle.

Prosecutors allege he staged it. The defense says she took her own life. Her phone locked at 9:13 PM, right before he walked in, and its step counter moved for the last time with him still inside.
