Crime scene staging can occur when perpetrators or law enforcement manipulate evidence to create a false narrative, and forensic investigators must critically evaluate conflicting expert opinions, DNA evidence, and physical indicators to determine the true nature of a crime; the Sandra Birchmore case demonstrates how a police officer allegedly killed a woman and staged her death to appear as a suicide, with DNA evidence on the murder weapon ultimately revealing the truth.

Sandra Birchmore & Idaho 4: Could a Crime Scene Be Staged?Added:
Sometimes law enforcement actually commits the murder. Sometimes medical examiners actually kind of cover up or look the other way for it. And sometimes they stage crime scenes to make it look like it's something that it wasn't.
Let's look at some of the similarities in the Idaho 4 case to a relatively newer case of Sandra Birmore and see if this has happened again and what we can learn from the story of Sandra Burmore and how it applies to Idaho 4. The devil's in the details. Let's get into it.
Now, before I get too deep into this, I want to make sure you understand I am not saying that the Idaho four murders were committed by a cop. Uh, nor am I saying that police staged the crime scene. Nor am I outright saying that medical examiners or specialists kind of looked the other way on the findings to support a narrative that was gone with.
I'm saying that those are possibilities.
And I want to use a current or a more recent story to show you how this not only can happen but does happen in my opinion from a more recent story about Sandra Birmore where a police officer involved with the female inappropriately may have committed murder and staged the crime scene to make it look like something else until DNA placed him at the crime scene. But it has lessons that we can learn from the Idaho 4 case because if you have been paying attention, rumors had it. Rumors had it that Kaylee Gonzalez may have been seeing of a police officer. And I'm not even going to name the police officer and that you either know the story or you don't know the story. And again, no part of this video is saying that Kaylee Gonzalez was seeing a police officer.
There were rumors that Kaye was also pregnant. Those rumors I think are untrue because of evidence that I have on the backside which I can't tell you all about entirely, but the rumors have persisted that in the Idaho four murders, one or more, it depends on what rumor you've heard, uh, girls in the 1122 King Road residence in Idaho may have been pregnant and that could have caused somebody commit murder to cover up that situation. I don't think again that Kaylee Gonzalez was pregnant.
However, that rumor has persisted for a long time and that Kaylee Gonzalez had relations with potentially a police officer, a rumor that has never been able to fully die uh out there in the sphere of the internet. Uh or a a football coach, which is another one, which may have involved a pregnancy issue. Those have come up over and over again. And I am not trying to perpetuate that myth. What I'm trying to say is the idea that a police officer can have committed some kind of inappropriate activity with a young female in her 20s, for example, uh, and then staged a crime scene to cover up their involvement or their having been there is not something that is unheard of. And in the Idaho 4 case, there is reasons to believe that a a police officer could have potentially uh had an inappropriate relationship with someone in the house and took steps to cover up the fact that that had happened, whether or not it's related to the murder or not. So, let's get into the details of Senator Birmore's story and show the lessons that can be learned. And again, I can't say this enough. No part of me is saying that this is what happened in Idaho for I'm trying to use this as lessons learned and it's going to be really really big to see the amount that people will go to to hide their indiscretions. All right.
So on screen I'm going to put on a story of uh Sandra Birmore and this is from the uh boston.com website. Um and local news medical examiner changes Sandra Burmore's manner of death from suicide to undetermined. The whole point of this is to draw the similarities to uh this death of a young girl was determined to be a suicide and later turned out to be murder and a staged scene to make it look like it was something that it was not. This is what many people, including myself, think that happened in part in the Idaho 4 murders, that something else happened in that house and it was staged in such a way to make it look like something else. So hopefully you're following that logic. Again, um it's just this is what I believe there was staging. I believe Brent Turvy, Dr. Turvy, also thought there was staging in the Idaho 4 uh uh murders uh and and stated so. and he he has a specialty for looking for staged crime scenes. And staged by whom is the million-dollar question. One could say it was staged by the perpetrators, killers. It could also be law enforcement stages crime scenes to fit a narrative that they're going with. And that is the harder one for people to swallow. The idea that law enforcement themselves would stage a crime scene. But this is going to be an example of something that pretty much we can very very solidly put on that an officer committed an impropriety and then staged the crime scene to look like something to cover up his involvement in something that he didn't want to come out. So former Stoutton police detective Matthew Farwell allegedly killed Birmore in 2021 and then staged her death to appear as if it was a suicide. Sander Burmore's death certificate was amended this week by the state office of chief medical examiner. OCME, you're going to see that uh that acronym down below. So when you see OCME, it's the Office of Chief Medical Examiner. Sandra Burmore's death certificate had originally been ruled a suicide. And for quite a while, it was a suicide until new evidence came forward and it had to be pushed. The official narrative kept sticking. It's a suicide. It's a suicide. multiple experts said it's a suicide until somebody pushed and had an expert come forward and say, "No, that looks like murder." And then another expert came forward and says, "Yeah, that looks like murder." So, here we have in the Idaho 4 again, conflicting uh expert statements.
Dr. Turvy versus Sutton saying, "Oh, it was done one way. Nope, it was done another way." They have conflicting experts. Uh this is the same kind of situation, conflicting experts. One say it was done one way. Another says, "Nope, it was done a different way." So, let's look at the lessons learned. her cause of death was changed from exfixia by hanging to exfixia and her just exfixia. So it was exfixia by hanging.
Now it's just exfixia which means did you hang yourself or did you get choked out and then later staged to make it look like a hanging. Uh so it was changed from suicide to undetermined according to the spokesman for the office of chief medical examiner. The change comes as the former Stoutton police detective accused of killing Burmore pushed to be released on bail before his trial this fall. So he originally the police officer who is charged with the murder has has said he wasn't going to ask for bail. Now he's asking for bail and they believe he's going to be a flight risk. But look at what they say he did. And again keep in mind for those of you who think law enforcement don't do anything bad. By the way, we have a law enforcement person on my panel on a regular thing on the crimes after dark. We have an NYPD captain. He also would say, "Good cops don't like bad cops." That's what I say all the time. So, not all cops are bad.
This is not about bashing police officers. What it's about is waking America up to the idea that police officers don't do things like stage crime scenes, which is the big part of the takeaway from the Idaho for comparison to this. All right. That former detective Matthew Farwell was indicted on a murder charge in 2024.
Prosecutors say that he strangled Birch Moore to death and staged the scene to make it appear as if she had hanged herself in her Canton apartment on February 2021. So, holy [ __ ] is this possible? Not only did a police officer kill someone and then he staged the crime scene to make it look like she killed herself and would perpetuate that to everyone as oh poor girl killed herself when he's the one that murdered her and then staged the crime scene to look that way. This is again comparisons that we have to ask ourselves. The state medical examiner's office had initially ruled that Burmore died by suicide three months after her body was found. Three months after her body was found, they determined, yeah, that looks like a suicide. I don't know why it takes you three months to determine that, but they did. One has to ask why the medical examiner determined it's a suicide and why it took three months to do so. Then the North Folk uh district attorney, Michael Morrisy's office, investigated Birch Moore's death, but did not file criminal charges. So, they looked into it and like I'm not sure that's a suicide, but they didn't file charges.
Uh, Maria Kappo Martinez of the uh medical examiner's office conducted Birchar's autopsy and made the initial determination that Burjmore died by a suicide according to court documents.
Another forensic pathologist and medical examiner employed by the federal government was asked to give a second opinion and they concurred [clears throat] with Kappo Martinez's finding. So, two official experts, medical examiners, ruled it as a suicide. But then things changed.
Federal investigators sought a third opinion. So, they thought, and why would you do that? You already have two experts. Listen, you already had two experts saying it's a suicide. Why would you seek a third opinion? But something about the federal investigation thought they don't believe and trust two of the medical examiner's opinions that it was a suicide. So, they brought in a third investig uh uh specialist. Federal investigators sought a third opinion from William Smok, a doctor who specializes in emergency medicine. Smok said that Burmore was strangled and died by homicide. But Farwell's lawyers argue that Schmok is not an expert in forensics pathology. So again, now this is the Idaho four thing. [ __ ] on each other's expert with oh, you you don't know what you're talking about.
You're not qualified to make that kind of opinion. So they brought in a fourth opinion. Farwell's indictment came a few months after another high-profile forensic after another high-profile forensics pathologist hired by Birchar's family called the death a homicide. So now you got two experts saying it's a suicide, two experts saying it's a it's a murder. And so we go forward. As previously stated, the medical examiner's find findings are based on the information available at the time of determination and may be updated if new information comes available, the spokesman said in their statement on Friday. So, in other words, the medical examiner's officer saying, "Hey, you know what? We called it a suicide, but we always reserve the possibility that we can change our mind like when other experts say it was murder." The medical examiner extends its continued sympathy to Mrs. Birchman's love Birch Moore's loved ones as they mourn this tragic loss. This case remains an active investigation by the United States Attorney General's office or attorney's office, and the OCME cannot comment further on the investigation. But let's look at some of the details. Birchbour died at age 23. This is I think around the same age as Kaylee Gonzalez. So now we have 20-year-old girls involved.
Allegedly. This one not so much.
Allegedly. Kaylee Gonzalez allegedly involved with a police officer.
Allegedly. Again, the rumor has been out there forever. Everyone has talked about it. It's huge. So don't jump on my ass.
I'm simply telling you that that rumor has been out there for a long time. In fact, the officer I believe who believe that people believe were involved with Kaylee Gonzalez was posted at the house and watching over it. Therefore, maybe had the ability to stage the crime scene.
It's a question. People relax. All right.
Prosecutors say that Farwell met Birmore when she was in high school in a member of the Stoutton Police Department's Police Explorers Academy. This is what makes this horrendous. This starts out as a statutory rape case of a police officer grooming a 15-year-old girl and having sex with her on a regular basis until he gets her pregnant. And then when he gets her pregnant, he decides that shit's not going to fly because I'm a married man and I have kids and I can't have a pregnant 20some year old talking about how I've been having sex with her since she was 15. So, I'm just going to murder her. Stage the crime scene to look like a suicide.
Problem solved. That's how that basically has gone out. Sorry, I hit the table so loud. All right. So, she was in the exp police explorers academy which was meant to educate young people who were interested in a career in law enforcement. They allegedly began having a sexual relationships in 20 2013 with an act of statutory rape because Farwell at the time was 27 and she was 15.
There's by the way uh the Matthew Farwell accused of um murder. Farwell allegedly groomed Burgemore and maintained a sexual relationship with her for years. They sometimes met for sexual interactions while Farwell was on the clock. Again, in the Idaho 4 case, there are rumors that a police officer visited the 1122 King Road residence house while that officer was on the clock. I won't even name names. You know the story or you don't. So, let's leave it at that for now in this video.
All right. So, um Farwell allegedly groomed Birch and maintained a sexual relationship with her for years. They sometimes meant for sexual intercourse while Farwell was on the clock. Okay, we already covered and prosecutors say that constitutes wire fraud. I realize I read that paragraph twice. Sorry about that.
But again, the similarities about a police officer possibly visiting one of the girls at the house while on the clock. Very similar uh in that regards.
So what are the lessons learned? Does that ever happen? Does a police officer ever have an indiscretion with a young 20-some year old female and then decide that they need to stage a crime scene to keep their involvement in that situation? Hush hush. It's happened here. It could have happened there.
Burmore learned that she was pregnant in in late 2020 and Farwell allegedly believed that he was the father. Farwell believed he was the father of the the baby that she was going to have and he didn't like that. The prosecutors say it is the reason that Farwell killed Birchmore. She's pregnant. She intends to have the baby. He's married. He has kids. This is going to ruin his marriage. So, that [ __ ] can't fly. So, it leads to an officer killing a female and staging the crime scene to make it look like she killed herself. And that's about as horrible as you can possibly get. Once again, I want to say there's no proof whatsoever that I that I have seen that Kayla Gonzalez was pregnant.
In fact, I have reasons to believe she was not. Um, but I I'll set that aside.
The point being is that her involvement with a police officer has been a rumor that does not die out there in the sphere. And I don't think it's for those who think I'm just repeating crazy rumors. It is not an unfounded rumor. It has a lot of teeth. A lot of people say they knew. Everybody knew right to this day. Farwell has pled not or pleaded not guilty. He has been held in the Rhode Island detention center since his arrest in 2024. Subsequent DNA tests revealed that Farwell was not actually the father of Burjmore's unborn son. According to court documents, the true parentage of Birch Moore's son is not publicly known.
Now, here's the horrible irony. If this officer killed this young 20-some year old girl because she was pregnant and it he thought it was his baby and it wasn't even his baby in the first place. Even more tragic because you killed her for nothing. Now, granted, if she was going to come out and tell people it was your baby when it wasn't your baby, I suppose the same problem exists. doesn't justify murder in any way, shape, or form, nor staging the crime scene to make it look like it was a suicide, nor whatever else had to be done to make it look like it was a suicide. Farwell's DNA was found on a strap. Again, I4 parallels DNA found on a strap. Sound familiar? This is very different, but I just thought I can't like when I'm making the item for connections, I'm like, DNA found on a strap, huh? All right. Farwell's DNA was found on the strap that was allegedly used to kill Birmore, prosecutors said in court documents submitted last month. Burmore was found on the floor of her apartment with a duffel bag strap tied around her neck. The strap was connected to a closet door knob, according to investigators. So, it was staged to look like she hung herself, but the officer's DNA is on that strap, therefore possibly implicating him in the murder. Why else was that cop's DNA on the strap that was around her neck? Unless there's some other reason that him and that girl have reasons to have been in contact with each other. I don't know. In court documents filed last week, prosecutors uh argue that the new evidence from Farwell's phone shows that he in fact has a flight risk and endanger to the community. They cite pornographic videos in Farwell's phone accessed in 2021 and 2022 as evidence that he maintains an interest in the sexualization of teenagers. So, he's got apparently teenage porn on his phone. And again, this officer indicted for murder is seeking to get bail so he can bail. Or maybe not. He says he's got a business to run and needs to get out of jail. And he's again, we believe in the presumption of innocence until proven guilty in a court of law. Should he be allowed to continue his life uh until proven guilty? Because he should have the presumption of innocence until proven guilty in a court of law. But the prosecution thinks that he's a flight risk because he shows he's got pornography related to teenage girls and he's accused of basically having an inappropriate relationship with a teenage girl. Prosecutors also refer to a message and this is the big one.
Prosecutors refer to a message that Farwell allegedly wrote in his phone's notes app on June 24th, 2024, the day that the media outlets widely reported that forensics pathologist hired by Burmore's family had determined her death was a homicide. So, the day that he finds out that that she's uh being concluded by another expert that it was a a homicide, he writes a note in his phone, and what he writes is horrendous.
In that note, which was intended to be sent to a close friend, Farwell wrote that he wished that this had gone a different way. He asked his friend to help raise his children and to not forget his wife. Farwell wrote that this is the hardest thing he's ever done and that he would see his friend on the other side. So, it sounds like a suicide note. take care of my wife, take care of my kids, see you on the other side, or he's just planning to flee and never come back, abandoning his family, his wife and kids, and saying, "Hey, watch out for my wife and kids, but I got to [ __ ] go on the run." Either way, prosecutions say this is evidence that Farwell proposes a flight risks if he was in uh released, and the judge has not ruled yet on the bail. Where am I going with all of the connections to the Idaho 4? Again, in the Idaho 4 case, rumors persist that Kaylee Gonzalez was seeing a police officer and that that officer may have been on duty that night and actually had come up to the house that night just before the murders or depending on whether you believe the timeline during the murders. Now, I am not thinking myself that a police officer was involved in the murder.
However, one cannot dispel that because the murders could have happened during the window that they say that the officer was up visiting the house. Which person he was visiting or whether he was visiting is a million-dollar question.
But if that same officer, for example, gets staged at the house to watch over the house as the only person watching on the house, if that were to happen, for example, and if you were allegedly involved in an inappropriate relationship with one of the girls in the house, one has to ask, can you do a little staging in that crime scene? Now, I'm not saying that happened. What I'm saying is, lesson learned. You need to take a look at the Senator Birchmore case and start to ask yourself the question, can police have inappropriate relationships with 20some year old girls? And if something goes wrong, how far will they go to hide their involvement in said activity? How far will other people go, experts, medical examiners to say that it was what you initially said it was to confirm your cover up and staging? Again, Dr. Turvy specializes in stage crime scenes, has a lot of opinions about staged crime scenes, and was saying, according to the new book, Broken Ple by Christopher Wickham, that there is evidence that that crime scene had been staged. And we know that officers, at least one officer, came in and renumbered evidence tags in the house. Why? Why did things get renumbered? Why was there a 4-hour delay, for example, from one law enforcement offic?
What happened during that time? There was evidence, according to Dr. Turvy, of staging in the Idaho 4 case. Meaning that it happened one way, but somebody wanted it look like it happened another way. That's the way I interpret staging.
You want it to look like something happened in a different way than it actually did. One has to ask why. And if there's a precedence, have a great day.
Think about that. Let me know what you think in the comments. Am I completely reaching? Is there no similarities whatsoever between Sandra Burmore's murder uh and Kayla Gonzalez's murder?
Is it all rumor and speculation and it's wild clickbay conspiracy theory [ __ ] Or do you see potentially that that is a kind of thing that does happen and we need to watch out for it? We need to ask ourselves, was the Idaho 4 crime scene staged? Have a great day.
