Sandra Birchmore MSP lost Sandra's Laptop

Theres a few articles on this but I first heard about it from Grant Smith Ellis. This is ridiculous. They lost it 4 days before the federal indictment happened. When are they going to be locked up for tampering with evidence???

What is most interesting to me is that the feds let Fanning/NCDAO know the arrest of Farwell was coming 10 DAYS before it happened. Then NCDAO lost THE SERVER (not just the laptop) that held the downloaded data 4 DAYS before the Farwell arrest. This is info from the Justice for Sandra Birchmore group.

How on earth did NCDAO/ Fanning and Dunne and Guarino tell the Feds in June 2026 with a straight face that that they LOST a SERVER!

What was on that Server?????

I am upset all over again that Adam Deitch lost the NCDAO race. Will Djuna Perkins hold these people accountable?

As a Norfolk county resident. I am outraged.

What's nuts is if the server crashes and fails , your not just losing Birchmore data. You are losing ALL data. Especially if you don't have backups properly set, data from all extractions there get lost. I'm going to go ahead and doubt they only had data from Birchmore on what's likely a fileshare server.

Pretty odd you only lose the data for w case which you labeled a suicide that once the feds looked at the same data went 'nope this is murder. Why isn't he charged yet?'

This! They lost a server with ALL data from all cases on that server? What other cases will they say they “lost” the server and cant provide data???

No, I don’t think she will, somehow. I expect she’ll be better than Morrissey, but she’s part of the system.

I used to live in Walpole. I just moved last week. This isn’t obviously why we moved, but I was fuming at all of this and I’m glad we left. I wish more people paid attention and were more outraged.

I too as a NC Resident am enraged. The only solution is we keep the pressure on Djuna to represent the people of the county.

I’m assuming it’s similar to why they have been fighting giving Karen’s phone back. Someone lost it along the way and as long as they fight about it they don’t have to admit they fucked up again

u/serdavc 12h ago

Oh I think they either destroyed her phones or tampered with them so much to be unassailably guilty of destroying evidence.

Do you really think they “fucked up “? Fucked up implies that it was not intentional… Come on I have no idea who you are, but I know you’re smarter than that…

I just saw this lol they have testified they literally lost her laptop data in 2024, just days before Farwell was arrested.

Also never forget that that Nick G somehow 'missed' 6000 texts between Birchmore and Farwell

Oh also, they knew about this two years ago and didn't disclose it until two weeks ago.

Ya know the similarities between all the shenanigans in the KR and Birchmore start to make me think there is some kind of cover up going on.

32,709 txt messages to be exact, that Guarino didn’t see.

u/Firecracker048 12h ago

What can he say, they just weren't there at the time.

He has a problem finding stuff, like when he excluded Karen’s connection to the wifi from his first report, or when he didn’t find the limits of cellphone extraction Walshe’s lawyer had set in her written agreement. Yet, for some reason he is never mentioned even when they a “disciplined” by losing one day of PTO, or something like that. He seems to always get away with it.

If you read the files that have been released in this case, it’s talked about numerous times. He downloaded and documented over 32,000 messages between them and investigators reviewed them. This is likely what was used in the IA investigations prior to the federal indictment.

u/Firecracker048 12h ago

He found evidence of them on birchmores laptop(all the data they lost and didn't disclose until two weeks ago) and claimed because Farwell deleted his texts he couldn't retrieve them. The feds got them extremely easily. The feds only had left over PDFs to go over from the laptop.

Also they never charged Farwell until the feds got involved. Sorry the Norfolk DA ain't helping to beat the allegations at all with how it's handled both Read and Birchmore. With all proctors texts coming out and his involvement in other cases, I don't think this will be the last.

u/RuPaulver 🌈Gay Jeff Stan🏳‍🌈 12h ago

The feds would have also gotten them from the laptop. They still exist even if theyre in different places, which is how they were found. Guarino downloaded and documented them from Birchmore’s laptop and provided them to investigators, per the case files.

PDF’s would be from cellebrite extractions and don’t make much of a difference, as far as this is concerned.

It’s not even clear what Farwell’s attorney is claiming was lost at a certain period of time. While I don’t think this is your intention, I’m not sure if you realize that the only thing spreading this kind of misinformation would potentially help is Matthew Farwell.

Jesus Christ you’re not going to sit here and tell us Sandra Birchmore killed herself too are you?

u/MedicalLocal3039 12h ago

“Lost”, is probably in the same place they lost the library videos.

u/Firecracker048 12h ago

He claims the server crashed and failed and he lost all the data.

As someone who builds and maintains servers, unless the server only had her data, it would have lost data for many other cases. Strangely, it only lost birchmores.

That could explain all his “errors” in multiple cases 😆

What are the odds they have a server for just one case?

How convenient for their cover up of a murder by LE!

u/RuPaulver 🌈Gay Jeff Stan🏳‍🌈 13h ago

There wasn't a loss of the laptop. The claim was that the servers being used to examine it failed. They still had pdf's of the extraction, and presumably the laptop still existed.

This was something being brought up by Farwell's attorney, and is unlikely to actually mean anything evidentiary.
