Friend of woman allegedly killed by Massachusetts police officer: "It was complete, 100% exploitation"

TL;DR

Lauren Andrews, a friend of Sandra Birchmore, described her as a victim of exploitation and grooming by Matthew Farwell, a former police officer.
Andrews did not believe the initial ruling of suicide and later changed cause of death to "undetermined," suspecting Farwell from the start.
Farwell allegedly groomed Birchmore from age 13 and began a sexual relationship with her at 15 when he was 27.
Andrews reported her suspicions to Canton police, but claims they did not take it seriously.
Farwell was charged with murder in 2024 after years of public pressure, following an internal investigation that revealed inappropriate relationships with other officers.
Farwell's twin brother, William, also had a sexual relationship with Birchmore as an adult and resigned from the police force.
Prosecutors allege Farwell strangled Birchmore and staged it as a suicide, despite DNA tests later indicating he was not the father of her unborn child.
