Kirk provides an update to Season 2's case involving Sandra Birchmore. It was reported yesterday in the local media that two sources are claiming that DNA testing shows Matthew Farwell was not the father to Sandra Birchmore's unborn child.

On February 4th, 2021, 23-year-old Sandra Birchmore was found dead in her apartment by the Canton Police. The Medical Examiner ruled it a suicide but friends and family have their doubts.

19 months later, three Stoughton Police officers have resigned including one who is the last known person to see Sandra alive.
