[Warning: Potentially Triggering Content]

A Massachusetts cop is finding himself on the wrong side of the law after allegedly murdering a young woman. And the story behind it is just… vile.

In 2020, Sandra Birchmore discovered she was pregnant. According to court documents obtained by The US Sun, she excitedly told friends about the news — but made it clear the father would not be a part of the child’s life. Then in February of 2021, the expecting mom was found deceased. Her death was initially ruled a suicide, but then some incriminating details surfaced. Incriminating for Officer Matthew Farwell.

You see, around two weeks before Sandra’s passing, one of her friends called the Stoughton Police Department to inform them of a relationship she had with Officer Farwell, according to the Department of Justice. And what was discovered after that is truly shocking.

Apparently, Sandra first met Matthew through a discontinued SPD program which aimed to introduce youngsters to careers in law enforcement. At the time, Matthew was 27 and Sandra was just 15! The two apparently became friends on Facebook after that… before eventually getting involved in a sexual relationship, according to an indictment.

WTF. This is an officer of the law we’re talking about! Who groomed a minor!

The pair continued a sexual relationship for years, even allegedly engaging in sex acts while he was on the job! But the story gets even more disturbing…

Matthew ended up resigning from the force in April 2022 after being placed on paid administrative leave. And just days later two MORE officers, including Matthew’s twin brother William, as well as officer Robert Devine, were placed on administrative leave. Why? Because they were ALSO accused of engaging in sexual acts with Sandra from the time she was 15 years old.

Holy s**t, WHAT?!

SPD Chief Donna McNamara said in September 2022:

“Through a sustained and deliberate combination of lies, deceit, and treachery, they violated the policies and core values of the Staughton Police Department, not to mention human decency.”

That is just so awful…

Sandra’s family launched a wrongful death lawsuit against the officers and the police department, revealing that a pathologist they hired ruled her death a homicide… Despite the state medical examiner’s initial suicide ruling.

Fast forward to Wednesday. Matthew was finally arrested, with prosecutors blaming him for Sandra’s death. And no, not for driving her to it. They’re saying he murdered her and made it look like suicide. In a press release, they claimed:

“Farwell killed Birchmore with the intent to prevent law enforcement from learning about Farwell’s commission or possible commission of federal offenses.”

They allege he strangled Sandra after her friend blew the lid off their relationship to the police department. He was charged with killing a witness or a victim, and faces either life in prison or possibly even the death penalty if convicted. All parties have thus far maintained their innocence — including Officer Devine and the other Officer Farwell.

What a disturbing violation of their power as law enforcement. Disgusting.

Mariah Carey’s sister had a real rough go of it, no two ways about it.

The Hero singer announced in a statement to People on Monday that in a “tragic turn of events” both her mother Patricia and her older sister Alison died separately on the same day. The day Mimi provided her statement, David Baker, a longtime friend, revealed Alison had been in hospice for three weeks prior to her death. He also said Mariah knew, but didn’t ever reach out. Now, he’s speaking out more about his friend’s “tough life” and estrangement from the My All singer.

Speaking to People on Wednesday about Alison’s passing, David explained:

“We saw it coming, but it’s still a shock. She got ill fairly quickly and a month later, she’s gone.”

Unfortunately, the last time Mariah saw her late sister was either in 1994 or 2002, according to David. Either way, over 20 years.

As we’ve covered in the past, the two had a falling out in ’94 amid Alison’s tough life. She got pregnant with her first child at just 15 years old and because of her lack of work experience, found it difficult to bring home money. So she unfortunately turned to teen prostitution. In 1987, she had her second child, and just one year after that, she tested positive for HIV.

On top of all that, she also struggled with substance abuse. The late 63-year-old made it known that Mariah had paid for multiple of her rehab stints, but things finally came to a breaking point in 1994. Patricia apparently went to pick up Alison’s son Michael for a weekend visit but ended up taking him in full time and got temporary custody because she felt Alison was an unfit mother.

Years later, Alison returned the favor. She launched a shocking lawsuit against her late mother, claiming she subjected her to sexual assault in satanic rituals when she was just a child. You can read more about that HERE.

As for Mariah, she made it clear in her 2020 memoir The Meaning of Mariah Carey that it was “emotionally and physically safer for [her] not to have any contact” with her big sister.

Such heartbreaking stuff. It’s so sad that things had to go that way for the Carey family.

However, just because Alison wasn’t close with her sister and mother doesn’t mean she had no one. David spoke about first meeting his late friend in 2015 after she suffered a traumatic brain injury during a terrifying home invasion, which affected her short-term memory. It was Alison and Mariah’s brother Morgan who reached out in a Facebook support group asking if anyone would be able to go visit and spend some time in the hospital — and David stepped up. He explained:

“I knew when I saw the request that I was the only person anywhere near Albany, New York, so I said, ‘Well, I’m going to go for this.’ They eventually sent me to the hospital and I met Alison.”

And over the past nine years, David said “hardly a day went by” where he and his friend didn’t speak over the phone:

“I saw somebody who needed help and I knew I could do it. She’d tell me that she was so glad I was around. More recently, before she got sick, if I went somewhere for an hour, she’d call and say, ‘When are you coming back?’ And I’d say, ‘Well, I’ll be there in 20 minutes.’ And then she’d call a second time and say, ‘When are you coming back?’ Because short-term memory was affected by the brain injury.”

He even helped find her Coxsackie apartment in New York three years ago, which was ultimately where she passed away. He told the outlet:

“She got her wish. She died in her own home.”

But before that, David shared that her four kids — three sons and one daughter — visited two to three weeks before her death. And her daughter, who apparently lived close, even began visiting daily.

We’re so glad to hear she was surrounded by loved ones in her final days. She lived such a difficult life. May she and Patricia both rest in peace.

Ed Kelce has been permanently benched from this game.

On Facebook over the weekend, Travis Kelce‘s dad took aim at Elon Musk, saying he’d been banned for life from X (Twitter)! Why?? That part isn’t totally clear. The claim came in a post Saturday in which Ed shared a Newsmax article claiming Houthi arms dealers had been selling weapons on the social media platform. In the post, he said:

“Arms dealers are free to peddle their wares on X, but I’m banned for life and they won’t say why, just a generic ‘Terms Of Service’ violation.”

On Sunday, after media started picking up on the story he’d been banned, he made another post to clarify the arms dealer thing was just to make a point.

Related: Everyone Who Was At Taylor Swift & Travis’ Rhode Island House Party!

The NFL father said he only shared this article because he was annoyed that he got banned when alleged illegal activity was still taking place there:

“Let me try and clear something up here. I’m rarely on Facebook or Instagram. I get Google alerts in my email about articles mentioning the boys and remotely post them to Facebook for friends and family to see. I posted the thing about arms dealers active on X because frankly, I was pissed at Elon’s trolls.”

Ed says he just wanted to “highlight the hypocrisy of these social media turds” by showing how easily they ban regular, harmless people. He went on to say he was rarely on the app at all when he took the alleged ban, so he assumes he “was hacked”:

“I rarely wrote anything on X; I just followed sports reporters. It’s handy during games to hear what those guys have to say, particularly at stadiums where you don’ have commentators the way you do watching on TV. I was active on X/Twitter from September to February, reading others’ posts. Apparently the X Twits believe I posted something contrary to their rules in May or June 2023. Never happened. I’m guessing I was hacked, as the platform isn’t all that secure. My comments when I started this conversation were merely to highlight the hypocrisy of these social media turds.”

See the full statement (below):

Wow! If this really happened, how unfair!

Then again, Musk’s free speech push hasn’t exactly attempted to be “fair” at all. We don’t know anything about Houthi arms dealers, but just try typing the word “cisgender” in response to someone sharing a Nazi talking point or the N-word to see what we mean.

Reactions, Perezcious readers?

UPDATE 8/27/24 9:45 A.M.: Finally, one of these ends in good news!

Pitcher Greg Swindell’s daughter Brenna has been found safe and sound after five days gone! The MLB vet posted to his FB on Tuesday morning:

“She has been found . That’s all for now. Thanks to EVERYONE who got involved. Sarah Swindell and I and our family and extended family thanks you.”

He didn’t get into details about what was going on with her. Now that she’s safe, it’s back to being a private matter. We’re just glad she’s OK!


Greg Swindell is in desperate need of help finding his daughter.

Over the weekend, the retired MLB pitcher took to Facebook with a startling post revealing his daughter Brenna had gone missing in Texas. He wrote:

“PLEASE HELP* Our daughter Brenna Swindell has not been seen or heard from in the Austin area since late Thursday afternoon. Her phone is off and she has not been in contact with family, friends, and most importantly her children.”

Scary! And even more concerning, he suspected in the post that she’s with her “violent” ex-boyfriend Morgan Guidry:

“Her ex-boyfriend in the photo has a warrant and is violent so PLEASE if you have seen or heard from either one of them, let us know.”

Related: Fan Performed On Stage With Macklemore… You’ll Literally NEVER Guess What Happened Next!

Later, he returned with an update revealing that Brenna was indeed spotted with Morgan on Thursday night — they’ve gotten as far as Colorado:

“They were seen together Thursday night and we have managed to get a GPS on the KIA that is now in Colorado. Both phones seem to be there but both are turned off. License Plate VFS7528 White Kia Carnival.”

He added a description of his missing daughter as well:

“She is 5’5″ and probably 120 or so pounds. She has brown shoulder-length hair she likes to wear in a high ponytail. She has a sleeve tattoo with flowers on one arm and a spider web on the other shoulder. She tends to always have a vape with her as well.”

THEN, on Sunday, Greg returned to Facebook with another update, revealing this is more than a family matter now. The Department of Public Safety has been working to pinpoint Brenna’s location:

“Because the GPS isn’t on and no cell phones are on, there is no science exactly where the car is by now. We haven’t heard anything back from DPS but they are on it and the missing persons have been filed. We have had lots of leads and [are] trying to sift through them. Until we can get KIA to activate the GPS tomorrow morning, and also figure out what apartment she is in as she moved on Tuesday and nobody knows the number, and the complex is closed today. So we desperately need to [go] in tomorrow.”

He added:

“We have no idea where in Colorado they are, or if they are even still there. PLEASE keep the tips coming of any sightings or information. Again, her boyfriend is in trouble with law from when he assaulted her last month and we don’t know if she went with him willingly, was talked into running away with him, or what. I still feel she would never abandon her 3 children or just take off without explanation. So until we can prove otherwise, we feel she is in danger. Thank you again, everyone.”

How terrifying! See his full post with all the updates (below):

We hope she’s found safe and sound soon!

A high school principal has come under fire after showing off his “weird” dance moves at a pep rally.

It’s the time of year again where kids return to school to learn and fill their young minds… Sometimes with something they can’t unsee, unfortunately! Like a middle-aged man performing a lap dance with a school mascot!

An Atwater, California father is as confused as you are reading that after viewing his 14-year-old son’s footage from a pep rally at Buhach Colony High School. No other way to say it, really — the Principal performed an inappropriate dance on the mascot! In the video, which father Ryan Attebery shared to Facebook over the weekend, Principal Robert Nunes can be seen sitting in a chair while Thor, the school’s mascot, dances around him. Robert then switches positions with the mascot, and briefly performs what looks to be a suggestive dance. He then shouts into the microphone:

“What happens in Buhach stays in Buhach!”

Oh… Oh no…

Ryan, clearly unsettled by the footage, asked, “Am I a square or was this weird af for a principal to do?”

 

The vid quickly spread around the internet with many pointing out that if a student were to do something similar, they’d likely be suspended. And that’s what happened to the principal, too!

Related: It Ends With Us Author Colleen Hoover’s Son Was Accused By A Minor Of ‘Sexual Assault’ — And She Defended Him!!!

The Merced Union High School District confirmed to People on Wednesday that Nunes has since been placed on administrative leave. Spokesperson Viviana Fuentes said in a statement:

“This decision comes as part of our commitment to maintaining a safe and respectful environment. The District is conducting a comprehensive review of the situation. While the investigation is ongoing, Mr. Nunes will not be participating in any school-related responsibilities or activities.”

Yikes! And this was apparently the dude’s FIRST year there as principal! Not a great way to start…

While speaking with People, Ryan explained why he shared the video on FB:

“Hey, man, like, this is what your kids see. You guys have the right to see it. That’s all it was for me.”

However, he also said he was “shocked” to learn of the action being taken against the principal as many students have been “sticking up for him.” Ryan added:

“For all I know, he’s a great guy, but at the same time, it doesn’t make it any less weird.”

Students have since confirmed on social media that the pep rally was Vegas-themed. Ryan left off:

“Everybody’s saying he is [a good guy]. He probably is, and it’s probably just a bad joke. They’re like, ‘Oh, the students, that was all the students idea.’ And I’m like, ‘I know, but the fact that there wasn’t a red flag, is a red flag in itself.’ I’d rather just make sure these kids are cool. It was all weird, nonetheless.”

What are your thoughts here, Perezcious readers?? How bad was this? Just getting too into the bit with the kids? Or worse?? Sound OFF in the comments down below!

Ben Affleck wasn’t the only one who was off-kilter during his ill-fated marriage to Jennifer Lopez!

So claims a source who says the spicy singer had her own issues that she brought into their failed union, too! And for J.Lo, those issues supposedly revolved around her complicated relationship with social media! Yes, really!

Related: Jennifer Garner Felt Like A ‘Pawn’ While Trying To Help Bennifer Before Divorce!

According to a report from late Wednesday night by the Daily Mail, the world-famous singer was completely consumed with the adulation and adoration she received from fans on social media! To hear one insider tell it, Jennifer’s full-on embrace of social media — which was not around back when these two first got together two decades ago in the same way that it is now — really helped create a rift between them! Oof!

So, first off, there’s some backstory to be noted here. You’ll no doubt recall Lopez’s recent documentary, The Greatest Love Story Never Told, as well as her film project This Is Me… Now. The doc was brought to life by Affleck’s production company, and he was involved in the project and its eventual sale to Amazon. But he was also conflicted about all the self-created media attention to come from it!! In that documentary, Affleck said at one point:

“Getting back together, I said, ‘listen, one of the things I don’t want is a relationship on social media.’ Then I sort of realized it’s not a fair thing to ask. It’s sort of like you’re going to marry a boat captain and you go, ‘Well, I don’t want the water.’ We’re just two people with kind of different approaches, trying to learn to compromise.”

And Lopez herself even added her own hedge about how Ben, who is notoriously private and detests paparazzi attention, wasn’t crazy about Jen laying out their entire romantic life for the world to see:

“I don’t think he is comfortable with me doing this, but he loves me and he knows I’m an artist… and he doesn’t want to stop me.”

Yeah, well, we know how that all turned out. Yikes. But we mention it now because this DailyMail.com insider is tipping the world off that Lopez’s fascination with her own celebrity and the throng of social media followers who help prop it up was driving its own wedge in between the pair! A source close to the estranged couple delivered this jaw-dropping take to that outlet:

“What happened between their first engagement and this new marriage was social media and it has had a huge impact on her. JLo’s social presence has been a steady stream of fans loving her, praising her and she cannot give it up. She loves him, but she also loves this fake world of fame and attention.”

Oof!!

And now, it’s all over. But was social media (partly) to blame???

Thoughts, y’all?? What do U make of this report about Lopez’s supposed fame-seeking and fandom-basking ways?! Are U buying it?! Sound OFF with your thoughts down in the comments (below)!

Well this certainly throws a wrench in the Republican party’s anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric!

So you know how the two figureheads of the Republican party right now are Donald Trump and his running mate JD Vance? And one of the biggest talking points of the party right now is taking away laws protecting the LGBTQ+ community. In particular they’ve been virulently attacking trans folks and drag shows. Well, how embarrassing would it be if one of those figureheads actually had a history of drag?? The answer: we don’t have to speculate, because a photo has emerged allegedly showing JD Vance in full drag!!

Related: Haters Be Damned! Olympic Boxer Imane Khelif Wins The Gold After Intense Bullying: ‘I Was Born A Woman, I’m A Woman’

Over the weekend, podcast host and activist Matt Bernstein ignited a frenzy on X (Twitter) by revealing a photo of what appears to be the Ohio Senator in a skirt and a blonde wig from back in his college days! Take a look for yourself (below):

This election just turned into a drag race! LOLz!

OK, so notice how there’s no X community note attempting to disprove the photo’s authenticity? It seems unlike the couch joke, this thing is real! Folks are trying to track down the origin, and so far it seems legit!

Researcher Travis Whitfill, who went to Yale at the same time as JD, explained on X that the photo was taken back in 2012 by one of the Republican politician’s classmates, and that it was sent to him by a friend. He further explained to the Daily Beast on Monday:

“It’s from a group chat of Vance’s fellow classmates and is from a friend of a friend. I believe it was grabbed from Facebook and was taken at a Halloween party.”

Obviously we are fine with JD’s Hillbilly Elegance. But we’re not the ones attacking drag and trans folks!

Mind you, Vance is the very guy who introduced the Protect Children’s Innocence Act — which proposes to criminalize gender affirming care for minors, in addition to cutting funding for and prohibiting higher education on such gender affirming care. He’s also famous for supporting Florida’s Don’t Say Gay bill, which aims to restrict classroom discussion of gender identity and sexual orientation. He’s even gone so far as to call critics of said bill “groomers.” Yeah, he’s one of those guys.

All that, yet back in college he used to dress up in drag? For him, it’s acceptable as a fun game of dress up, but for the people battling for human rights over their gender identity, it’s completely unacceptable??

On X, users have been having a heyday with the viral photo in the replies:

“this diva!”

“What better way to get on Trump’s good side than by trying to look like his Ivanka…”

“Remember: It’s not about J.D. Vance in drag; it’s the hypocrisy.”

“back when he used to be cool”

One response in particular posted by trans model @plasticmartyr took off:

“Yo,@JDVance, you look slay mama. What’s your drag name? Sofa Loren?”

The response took off SO much that #SofaLoren was actually TRENDING on the social media app! We also saw someone suggest “Ashley Furniture” which is pretty great, too.

The craziest thing? Vance and Trump’s teams have yet to deny this is in fact JD in the photo. We bet he and Trump are having some real inneresting conversations right about now!

Reactions??

Taylor Spliff is a strain of weed. He’s using the reference to get at Kanye’s longtime rivalry with Taylor, mentioning her beau’s position on the Kansas City Chiefs. Not the craziest thing he could’ve said, all things considered, but still not great considering their feud.

Obvi Tay and Ye’s issues date back to 2009 when the Power rapper interrupted her acceptance speech at the VMAs. Years later, he called her “that bitch” in his song Famous — something Taylor hit back at hard, insisting she never approved the dig. His then-wife Kim Kardashian released a phone call exposing she was lying about that, turning the public against the songwriter. However, it turned out that tape was edited — and she had been telling the truth. Most recently Tay hit back at Kim with her thinly veiled mean girl diss track thanK you aIMee. Now it seems to be Ye’s turn with this lyric?

Fans are convinced Taylor clapped back by wearing a t-shirt that read, “I Bet You Think About Me” at her Saturday performance of the Eras Tour in Poland last week (after her 2021 song of the same name that is believed to be about the rapper). Now, she’s also getting support from her man’s dad!

On Thursday, Papa Kelce took to his Facebook page to share an article about the shady song lyrics, captioning it:

“mental illness on full display.”

OOF!

The Yeezy designer’s been open about his bipolar disorder, and he’s seemingly struggled with his mental health over the last few years as evidenced by many public outbursts and erratic behavior, causing his friends to be concerned. No excuse for being a jerk, though!

This is a particularly hard time for Taylor, too, since she just had to cancel three Eras Tour dates after a terrorist attack threat was uncovered in Vienna, Austria. With so much serious stuff going on, it’s nice to see her boyfriend’s family has her back!

Jaime Feden is finally getting some justice for her horrifying death.

Per reports, way back in September 2019, John Matthew Chapman picked up his girlfriend in Pennsylvania and told her they were going on a road trip to Nevada with the intentions of buying a home together in Las Vegas. The trip that was supposed to be romantic, however, ended up being the last trip Feden would ever go on.

As they drove into the desert, Chapman convinced her to do a “bondage photoshoot,” per the criminal complaint. With duct tape and zip ties, the couple trekked out into the desert, where Chapman tied Feden to a post with zip ties and covered her airways with the tape. It’s said it was there he sat and watched her suffocate until she died. Just awful…

After she stopped breathing, cops say her boyfriend removed her clothes, zip ties, and tape, and left her body in the desert. He then returned to Pennsylvania and got rid of her clothes along the way to hide the evidence. Feden wouldn’t be found until October 5. In November, her friends and family still didn’t know this was her body, though. A friend of hers requested a welfare check because they hadn’t seen her since September, and noticed Chapman coming in and out of her home.

Inside the 33-year-old’s home, police found her boyfriend’s ID, Feden’s cell phone, and several rolls of duct tape and zip ties. By December, law enforcement confirmed the body was indeed the missing Bethel Park woman’s, and Chapman was arrested. After his arrest, prosecutors claimed he confessed to killing his girlfriend for her money, and even continued to pretend to be her on Facebook for a bit, while he lived in her home and spent her money.

On Friday, though, a grueling five years after the crime, Feden’s family got closure. Chapman was sentenced to life in prison after being convicted of one count of kidnapping resulting in death. Attorney Jason M. Frierson said in a statement following the sentencing:

“The defendant violated the victim’s trust by luring her away from her family and friends in Pennsylvania and out into the Nevada desert where he viciously killed her. This sentence should send a clear message to others that kidnapping and killing another person will result in a substantial prison sentence.”

In the victim’s obituary, her loved ones wrote:

“Jaime was resilient, kind, loving, and strong-willed. She left this earth too early for us to understand, but God always has a purpose and therefore we all must believe that Jaime is still among us fulfilling hers.”

Heartbreaking. May Jaime rest in peace.
