bostonglobe.com/2026/04/07/met… This is a damning indictment of the Norfolk DA's Office, whether it be corruption and/or incompetence. Farwell was the obvious prime suspect, based on his sexual abuse of a minor and his presence at the scene immediately before the victim was found dead. They missed and ignored electronic evidence. They catered to Farwell during the interview process. They ignored scientific and common sense facts which strongly suggested homicide rather than suicide. And their failure to seriously attempt to obtain a DNA sample (even through surreptitious means) from Farwell coupled with proof that his DNA was on the ligature is shocking. Just an epic failure.
