Girl who locked cheating boyfriend in suitcase till he died faces trial this year (Video)

A lady who locked her boyfriend in a suitcase is for trial in the first quarter of this year.

Sarah Boone, was charged with the murder of her boyfriend Jorge Torres Jr., and is currently awaiting trial for second-degree murder at the Orange County jail in Orlando, Florida.

Sarah Boone’s trial was initially slated to begin on November 7, 2022, at 9 am. The trial has however suffered a series of postponements as the defendants changed her attorneys.

Boone tricked her boyfriend into a suitcase and zipped it locked after accusing him of cheating on her. She left him there to die, ignoring his plea to be let out.

Initially, the Florida native claimed that her boyfriend’s death was an accident, but when authorities went through her phone, they found evidence of intentional homicide.

The incident happened in 2020. At around 1 pm on February 23, 2020, Sarah Boone called 911 and claimed that she found her boyfriend dead. In the call, she told the dispatcher that the previous night, she and her boyfriend had been playing hide and seek when she put him in a suitcase.

According to her story, 42-year-old Boone and her boyfriend Jorge Torres Jr. were drinking wine and playing hide and seek in their Winter Part apartment. The couple thought that it “would be funny” to put Jorge in a suitcase and he willingly hopped inside before she zipped him inside.

Boone then went up to her bedroom and passed out. Later, she claimed that she had forgotten Torres was still in the suitcase when she woke up at around 11 am the next morning.

She stated that she assumed he was in a different room using the computer and it was only in the afternoon that she realized that he might still be inside the suitcase.

That was when she unzipped the suitcase and found an unresponsive Jorge, and called the police. When they arrived, police found Jorge’s body beside the suitcase near the door with a cut on his lip and bruising around one eye.

Upon searching her phone, investigators found two videos that were recorded the previous night. One showed Torres yelling out Sarah Boone’s name as he struggled to get out of the suitcase. He could be heard saying that he “seriously” couldn’t breathe.

However, Boone responded to it and said:

“For everything you’ve done to me. F*ck you. Stupid. Yeah, that’s what you do when you choke me.”

The second video showed Torres calling out to her from the suitcase. When she was shown the videos, Boone couldn’t get through them and claimed that she couldn’t remember filming them.

There was a long history of domestic abuse and physical assault between the two.

Sarah Boone was booked in 2018 for battery and strangulation after a physical fight broke out between the two when they returned from a bar.

The case was later dropped when the two told the police they were not interested in pursuing it.

Sarah is being held without bail and is awaiting trial. She faces life imprisonment.
