462: Dateline: The Betrayal of Sandra Birchmore (S33E87)

ORDER YOUR DUNKIN' AND HIRE A TRANSLATOR, WE'RE GOING BACK TO CANTON, MASS!

For today's episode, we're talking about the tragic murder of 23-year-old Sandra Birchmore, who was found dead in her apartment on February 4, 2021. The death was initially ruled a suicide by the town's CORRUPT medical examiner. It took Sandra's badass cousins and the incredible WOMAN chief to dig deeper and expose the years of abuse and exploitation that Sandra had suffered at the hands of a few local cops to get to the truth. And GP came to work today with ALL of the parallels to the Karen Read case that, incredibly, was being prosecuted in the same town at the same time and involving many of the same people. Honestly, can we get all the good people out of this town, fence it off, and start over? Ugh.
