Talking Dateline: The Betrayal of Sandra Birchmore
Lester Holt sits down with Andrea Canning to talk about her episode, The Betrayal of Sandra Birchmore. In 2021, a young teacher’s aide named Sandra Birchmore was found dead in her bedroom in what appeared to be a suicide. The news perplexed her family, who wondered if Sandra’s relationship with a married police officer could have something to do with her death. Lester and Andrea unpack how Sandra’s death led a local chief of police to investigate her own officers — and blow the whistle on their alleged misconduct. Plus, they answer viewers’ questions.
