A Massachusetts cop has been accused of murdering a pregnant 23-year-old he allegedly began sexually abusing when she was just a 15-year-old volunteer with his police department.

Matthew Farwell, formerly of the Stoughton Police Department, was indicted for allegedly strangling Sandra Birchmore in her Canton apartment in February 2021, and then staging the scene to make it appear as if she’d committed suicide, court documents obtained by NBC Boston show.

Birchmore was three months pregnant at the time of her death, and had recently informed Farwell that she thought he was the father.

A man out on probation for drug charges less than a year ago and a woman from Douglas were recently arrested following a search at a local apartment. On August 7, 2024, at around 1:00 PM, Detectives from the Coffee County Sheriff's Office Drug Unit were conducting a proactive narcotics patrol in Douglas. During their patrol, a detective spotted 30-year-old Christopher Lamar Hawkins, who had outstanding warrants for fleeing police and methamphetamine possession, driving a white 2021 Kia Sorento. Hawkins was stopped in front of apartment 203/204 on N Wheeler Ave, where two detectives approached him. Breanna Henderson, 33, then came out of apartment 203 to "investigate what was going on with Hawkins" and appeared to whisper with Hawkins during his arrest. The report states that Henderson, who temporarily lived with Hawkins, began whispering with him "presumably about nefarious activities due to Hawkins's previous history with drug distribution and evading law enforcement."
