Sandra Birchmore: Her Death Certificate Changed to WHAT?!

The medical examiner’s original determination said Sandra Birchmore died by suicide. Then came the testimony about what her office actually knew. Dr. María del Mar Capó-Martínez said Canton and State Police reports provided to her office described a hanging with no foul play, and no one requested that the medical examiner go examine the apartment. When the office asked for developments before closing the case, it reportedly received no meaningful new information. That background matters just as much as the words on the death certificate. The ruling remained suicide until 2026, when it was amended to undetermined. Prosecutors in Matthew Farwell’s federal trial say the initial investigation left serious questions unanswered. The defense says the revised classification is not homicide and that the government still must prove its theory. Both sides are asking jurors to read the same word—undetermined—and draw very different conclusions. Tony Brueski is joined by former prosecutor and defense attorney Eric Faddis and retired FBI behavioral expert Robin Dreeke to examine where those conclusions come from. The defense stresses the lack of DNA under Sandra’s fingernails and the absence of obvious signs of resistance. It also highlights the DNA result showing Farwell did not father Sandra’s unborn child. Prosecutors argue that messages about pregnancy and the couple’s history bear on Farwell’s state of mind, regardless of the later paternity result. Farwell denies killing Sandra and has pleaded not guilty. Federal prosecutors must prove that a killing occurred and that it was intended to prevent her from reporting crimes. For Sandra’s family and the jury, the central question is not just who wrote “suicide” first. It is what information was missing when that word entered the record—and whether the full evidence now answers it.
