William Farwell, a former Stoughton, Massachusetts police officer, has permanently lost his law enforcement certification due to his involvement in a case that has garnered national attention. Farwell entered into a voluntary decertification agreement with the state, effectively barring him from any future employment as a police officer. His decertification will also be added to the National Decertification Index, a database used to prevent decertified officers from obtaining law enforcement positions elsewhere.
Although William Farwell is not facing criminal charges, his twin brother, Matthew Farwell, has been indicted on federal charges related to the death of Sandra Birchmore, a woman both brothers had been romantically involved with. Matthew is accused of strangling Birchmore, who was pregnant, to cover up their affair, which investigators allege began when she was underage. Prosecutors say that after killing Birchmore, Matthew attempted to stage her death to look like a suicide.
Both William and Matthew were officers in the Stoughton Police Department at the time of the events, and investigators have confirmed that both brothers had sexual relationships with Birchmore. According to court documents, William admitted to detectives that he had been in a relationship with Birchmore for approximately two years. This relationship took place when Birchmore was an adult, and William is accused of exchanging inappropriate and graphic messages with her while he was on duty as a police officer.
Court records reveal that William’s communications with Birchmore included explicit content. As outlined in the decertification order, some of the messages exchanged between William and Birchmore contained "photographs and videos of nude individuals having sexual intercourse." The order also detailed that William lied to state investigators during the investigation into Birchmore's death.
When questioned by detectives from the Massachusetts State Police, William disclosed that he had two or three sexual encounters with Birchmore, claiming that the last time they were together was in December 2020. He also stated that during their final encounter, Birchmore informed him that she was pregnant with Matthew’s child. However, phone records contradicted William’s statement, showing that the two met for a sexual encounter on January 10, 2021, just weeks before Birchmore’s death on February 4, 2021.
Sandra Birchmore’s death has sparked significant legal action, as her family has filed a wrongful death lawsuit. The lawsuit names both William and Matthew Farwell as defendants, as well as the Stoughton Police Department. The lawsuit accuses the department of failing to prevent the inappropriate relationships between officers and Birchmore, which eventually led to her death.
As the case against Matthew Farwell progresses, more information is expected to emerge about the Farwell brothers’ actions and the role the Stoughton Police Department played in the tragic death of Sandra Birchmore. This ongoing case has raised serious questions about misconduct within law enforcement and how it is handled when officers are involved in personal relationships that cross ethical and legal boundaries.
