More coming on U.S. Army recruiter from Quincy office who sexually fraternized w Sandra Birchmore, a violation of military rules, a videotape of which shared w another alleged abuser Matthew's twin William Farwell, sources say.

Norfolk County DA Michael Morrissey said he turned the Sandra Birchmore case over to MA AG Andrea Campbell. Gov. Maura Healy was AG when she died. Still nothing from the state despite five MA men, four cops and a U.S. Army recruiter, being accused of abusing Birchmore in an official capacity of power.

Federal investigators found the evidence that was overlooked by the same unit whose case against Karen Read ended in an acquittal, raising questions if state troopers protected a fellow cop who told colleagues he needed to “put crazy back in the bag” weeks before Birchmore’s murder:

Sandra Birchmore’s aunt, who represents her estate in a wrongful death lawsuit, asked a state judge to order an ex-Stoughton police detective’s criminal defense team not to contact her or her immediate family.

In seeking an injunction April 10, Darlene Smith’s lawyers said two investigators working for Matthew Farwell’s public defenders visited her adult son’s apartment unannounced in February and asked him about the wrongful death litigation.

Her request represents a crossover in two separate cases Farwell faces over Birchmore’s death: a federal criminal prosecution accusing him of killing her and her unborn son; and a wrongful death lawsuit filed by Smith in state court. Farwell denies the allegations in both matters
