CBS Mornings(@CBSMornings):A Massachusetts jury found former police officer Matthew Farwell guilty of killing Sandra Birchmore, who was pregnant, in 2021. @thomasrhanson spoke exclusively with Birchmore’s therapist, Diala Alkhalil, who testified during the trial. Alkhalil said she feared for Birchmore’s safety around Farwell, and that she called Massachusetts State Police when she learned of Birchmore’s death: “I informed him of all the red flags I had observed with her. Are you sure there’s no foul play? And he said, no, we ruled it a suicide.”
