Sandra Birchmore and Gypsy Rose's Ken Urker: Two Cases Where the Scene Was Already Lost

Matthew Farwell is the one on trial, but the cops who handled Sandra Birchmore's death keep taking the stand. Eric Faddis joins me to rank the five worst moments. State Police examiner Nicholas Guarino testified he found no messages between Farwell and Sandra on Farwell's phone and returned it to him. The FBI later recovered thousands. A dispatcher testified he carried a friend's warning call about Farwell straight to Farwell's office, and that his notes went in the trash. Former Stoughton deputy chief Brian Holmes testified he first saw the lobby video of a masked Farwell online, like Chief Donna McNamara. Which of these would bother you most as a juror? Drop it in the chat and I'll put it to Eric. Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Matthew Farwell's defense is telling a federal jury that Sandra Birchmore took her own life. Eric Faddis joins me to test that claim against the five strongest pieces of the government's case. The DNA comes first. Prosecutors say Farwell's genetic profile was found on the strap used to hang Sandra from a closet door, and that state investigators never collected a sample from him in 2021. The FBI got one in 2024. The phone comes next. Prosecutors say Farwell searched whether Cellebrite could recover deleted iMessages after Sandra died, and that State Police found no messages between them when they looked at his phone. Eric also takes on the friend's call to Stoughton police on January 20, 2021, the call prosecutors say gave Farwell his motive. Drop your read on the DNA in the chat.

What three Stoughton officers were allegedly doing to Sandra Birchmore over the course of a decade — and why the department is still trying to bury it. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott breaks down the psychology of every layer of this case in a comprehensive four-part interview. The targeting: how officers allegedly used a badge, a youth program, and a grieving child’s missing father to reshape her understanding of love. The individual: Farwell’s alleged double life, the mask, the clothes he allegedly wore from Sandra’s building to his wife’s hospital room. The group: Devine’s mentorship of the Farwell brothers, William’s alleged involvement, and a dead woman called a liar at her own program leader’s hearing. The institution: Chief McNamara allegedly told to destroy the investigation she opened, now on leave while the department she tried to hold accountable carries on. Scott, author of Nightbird, examines what each layer reveals about the others. Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

When Timmy Gibson heard JP Miller's sermons, he didn't hear theology. He heard a pastor allegedly using scripture to control the room. Gibson left the evangelical ministry after thirty years and sat down for Homicide Happy Hour to talk about Miller. He quoted one sermon where Miller allegedly told his congregation that if wives fall short, the devil has twenty replacements lined up. Gibson says that's gaslighting dressed as doctrine. Miller has been indicted federally for cyberstalking and making false statements. He denies the charges. Mica Miller died in April 2024. Her death was ruled a suicide, and Miller is not charged in connection with it. Gibson confirmed the word cult with psychotherapist Shavaun Scott before using it on camera. He says the roughly fifteen people still allegedly showing up to hear Miller preach are in one.

The chief who exposed the Stoughton officers connected to Sandra Birchmore is the one off the job. Chief Donna McNamara, the department’s first female chief and first female officer, allegedly opened a second investigation into the misconduct — and says Town Manager Robin Calter demanded she destroy the findings. McNamara refused. She is now on administrative leave. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott examines why whistleblowers inside law enforcement — particularly women — are disproportionately punished for doing what the institution was supposed to do on its own. Someone inside the department allegedly tipped Matthew Farwell that someone had called the station about him. The second investigation reportedly found information on another unnamed former employee beyond the officers already known. Scott, author of Nightbird, asks what the pattern of retaliation against McNamara tells us about whether the Stoughton department has any intention of confronting what happened.
