"The presence of Farwell's DNA on the murder weapon-i.e., the strap used to asphyxiate Birchmore-is, of course, highly inculpatory, prosecutors wrote."
"Birchmore was found on the floor of her apartment with a duffel bag strap tied around her neck. The strap was connected to a closet doorknob, according to investigators."
Matthew Farwell is charged with the murder of Sandra Birchmore, who was found dead in her apartment in 2021. Prosecutors allege that Farwell believed he was the father of Birchmore's unborn child. DNA evidence from the strap used to kill Birchmore matched Farwell's DNA. Initially ruled a suicide, the case was reopened after federal investigation. Farwell's DNA was obtained after his arrest in 2024, leading to his indictment. Prosecutors describe the DNA evidence as highly incriminating.
