Stoughton knew something was up. The Internal Affairs report commissioned one day after Sandra Birchmore’s body was found.
Deputy Chief Brian Holmes testified today he wanted this investigation to be exclusive & independent from Norfolk County CPAC’s case.
Or what federal prosecutors call no case.
I believe Guarino testifiied in such a manner that he knowingly will be fired. His answers limited the DOJ from truly exposing him. However, he may have saved him himself from prosecution. #sandrabirchmore#karenreadtrial#johnokeefe
Tried looking up Michelle Farwell, confirmed at trial 2 B a Boston area Accountant, 2 verify any potential connections she might have. While my initial thoughts pointed to State St, she is not affiliated with them as far as I can see.
However I did find this: 4 15 years up until 2022 she worked as an Accountant & Director at PWC.
PwC served as the continuous independent auditor 4 JPMorgan Chase 4 decades. Because JPMorgan subsequently paid a $290 million settlement 4 ignoring glaring compliance red flags 2 maintain Epstein's sex-trafficking banking network, forensic researchers & independent investigators have routinely scrutinized whether PwC’s audit teams failed 2 flag the bank’s systematic control breakdowns regarding Epstein’s massive cash movements.
Also Richard Kahn, who was Epstein's long time in house accountant, began his professional career as a CPA at Coopers & Lybrand (which later merged with Price Waterhouse 2 become PwC & was also involved in many other large financial scandals!).
Not sure if this is significant or not, but I did find it interesting!

She was just a child. The text messages that exploded into public view during the trial of Matthew Farwell for killing Sandra Birchmore are a blueprint for dangerous predators.
Farwell exploited Sandra's vulnerabilities. He gained her trust, convinced her that he cared about her, drew her into his sick and dark world, and used the authority of his badge to create the illusion that she was safe with him.
Devoid of human decency and any redeemable human qualities, he sexually exploited her, repeatedly, for years. The very person she trusted to protect her became the person she needed protection from.
I spent more than two decades on the Juvenile Court bench. I saw the devastation of grooming and sexual exploitation in the faces of young teens who came into my courtroom. Children who had been manipulated by predatory adults who knew exactly how to exploit their vulnerabilities.
I know what sexual exploitation looks like. I know the destruction it leaves behind.
What Farwell did to Sandra was the carefully calculated predatory grooming and sexual exploitation of a vulnerable child. He knew exactly how much power he held over her.
Amid the testimony, the text messages, and the legal arguments, never lose sight of who Sandra was when this began. She was a child.
