Oct 19, 2026 · 23 min · 13 segments

So, Sandra, in a text string with Farwell, quote, I'd be homeschooling An eight-year-old.

On the sixth day of his federal murder trial, FBI Special Agent Heidi Kelsch and Prosecutor Elizabeth Riley read those messages aloud.
Between them, they walked the jury through what both of them said in their own words.
What the messages say, what the records confirm, and what Farwell searched on department-issued work phones eight days after Sandra's phone went silent, oh, well, that's a story to tell.
