    Did Police Decide Sandra Birchmore's Case Before Any Doctor Did?

    Prosecutors say the medical examiner in the Sandra Birchmore case never came to the scene. Her office says it has since increased how often it sends investigators to death scenes. Her May 2021 suicide ruling is what the DA pointed to when he declined to charge anyone. She testified on October 26, 2026, that she counts on other agencies for information. She added that she was never asked whether it was a suspicious death. Within the first hour after Sandra was found, prosecutors say, police told her office it wasn't foul play. Matthew Farwell, a former detective in Stoughton, has pleaded not guilty. Prosecutors have rested in his federal trial. Eric Faddis, a former prosecutor who switched to defense work, joins me live with the FBI's retired behavioral chief Robin Dreeke. Was Sandra's case closed on police say-so?

    Why Was Farwell Saying Goodbye Two Months Before His Arrest?

    Matthew Farwell was a Stoughton detective when Sandra Birchmore died, and the FBI didn't arrest him until August 28, 2024. On June 24, prosecutors allege, he wrote a goodbye on his phone to his best friend. That was the date news broke of a homicide finding from the pathologist her family had hired. Prosecutors cited the goodbye when they fought to keep him locked up before trial, yet even they concede he never fled. The state accuses him of strangling Sandra and staging her death to look like suicide. His defense says she took her life when he broke it off, and he's pleaded not guilty. Retired FBI agent Robin Dreeke, who ran the Bureau's counterintelligence behavioral program, joins me with defense attorney and onetime prosecutor Eric Faddis.

    What Lori Vallow's Niece and Farwell's Twin Admitted Under Oath

    Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott and retired FBI behavior chief Robin Dreeke join me live for the full run: three parts on Lori Vallow's niece, Melani Pawlowski, and one on Sandra Birchmore's case and Matthew Farwell's twin, William. Melani was a Gilbert mom of four who moved next door to Lori, testified she was taught some people carried a darkness that couldn't be cast out, and later testified for the State against Chad Daybell. William was a Stoughton officer who says he and Matthew talked about their other affairs but never about Sandra while she was alive. He testified against his twin with immunity. Bring your questions for Shavaun and Robin. Melani has never been charged in the shooting at Brandon Boudreaux and denies any part in it. Matthew Farwell has pleaded not guilty.

    Why Farwell's Twin Texted This When Sandra Birchmore Said 15

    Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins me live to get inside the head of William Farwell, the twin brother who testified against former Stoughton detective Matthew Farwell on October 26th and 27th. Sandra Birchmore told William she was 15 when it started with Matthew, and William, a cop who was seeing her too, didn't act. He says he blacked out the night he drove to her apartment drunk, weeks before she died. He says he and Matthew talked about their affairs with other women but never about Sandra while she was alive. When she was pregnant, he texted asking her to hook up, and said if she didn't, he'd go home to his wife. Bring your questions on how a man like this thinks and how you'd spot one. Prosecutors say Matthew strangled Sandra and staged a suicide, and he has pleaded not guilty.

    Should Lori Vallow's Niece Have Gotten Her Kids Back?

    After Lori Vallow's arrest in February 2020, her niece Melani Boudreaux fought for joint custody of the four kids she shares with Brandon Boudreaux, while her lawyer told the court she still wanted to be with her aunt. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott and retired FBI behavior chief Robin Dreeke join me live on what came next. A memo attributed to Melani's new husband said she'd been told Brandon needed to die for the Lord's plan. By November 2020, both sides had agreed she'd share decisions about the kids again, with full visitation set to return that January. Brandon has said he forgave Lori, who was convicted in 2025 of plotting to kill him, while a prosecutor told that jury Melani was part of the plot. If she were your sister, would you let her back in? Melani has never been charged in the shooting and denies any part in it. Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

    Why Lori Vallow's Niece Wanted This Man at Her Wedding

    Lori Vallow's niece Melani Boudreaux moved to Rexburg, Idaho, in late 2019 to live next door to her aunt, and married a man she'd met that month. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott and retired FBI behavior chief Robin Dreeke join me live on what that life did to her thinking. Brandon Boudreaux testified Melani told him in June 2019 that God had told her he was gay. After her uncle Alex Cox died, she told Lori on a recorded call that she wanted Brandon to stay afraid of Alex. A memo attributed to her new husband says she was worried Alex "may have had to 'take care' of the kids." By her own account, Alex was at her wedding as a witness. We'll take your questions on how a mother's mind gets rewired like this. Melani has never been charged in the shooting at Brandon and denies any part in it.

    Why Lori Vallow's Niece Called Her This as a Grown Woman

    How does a mom of four in Gilbert, Arizona, end up living inside Lori Vallow's end-times world? Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott and retired FBI behavior chief Robin Dreeke join me live to take that apart, starting with the bond between Lori and her niece, Melani Boudreaux. Melani's mother died when she was a girl, and Lori was the one who told her. Brandon Boudreaux testified that Lori was like a mother to her, and that Melani wanted ten thousand dollars of food storage all at once. Melani testified Chad Daybell "was said to have a gift" to see light and dark in people. We'll talk about the early signs you'd explain away if this started happening to someone in your own family. Drop your questions for Shavaun and Robin in the chat. Melani has never been charged in the shooting at Brandon and denies any part in it.
