Sandra Birchmore's texts. Arrest in "The People's Court" cold case. Plus, job scams.
The episode covers three major true crime cases: the trial of former police officer Matthew Farwell, accused of murdering Sandra Birchmore, a woman he allegedly had a years-long sexual relationship with beginning when she was underage; the 15-year-old disappearance of Michelle Parker, who vanished hours after appearing on The People’s Court, leading to the recent arrest of her ex-fiancé Dale Smith Jr. on second-degree murder charges; and new developments in the O.J. Simpson and Alex Murdaugh cases, including unsealed documents suggesting a possible accomplice in the Simpson murders and a judge’s rebuke of attorneys in Murdaugh’s retrial. The episode also warns of job scams targeting young people, particularly college students, emphasizing red flags like unsolicited offers and fake checks.
