In a shocking case emerging from Florida, a woman stands accused of leaving her boyfriend to die after he was sealed inside a suitcase.
Sarah Boone, 46, is set to face trial in October, nearly four years following her arrest, according to AP News.
Boone, who has entered a plea of not guilty to the charge of second-degree murder, initially informed detectives from the Orange County Sheriffs Office of a seemingly innocent game gone awry. She claimed that she and her boyfriend, Jorge Torres, were engaged in a playful game of hide and seek at their shared residence in Winter Park, Florida. The game took a bizarre turn when they decided it would be amusing for Torres to climb into a suitcase.
Boone admitted to detectives that they had been consuming alcohol and she eventually fell asleep, under the impression that Torres could free himself from the suitcase. However, upon waking the following morning, Boone discovered Torres unresponsive inside the suitcase, as per the arrest report.
The narrative took a grim turn when detectives unearthed videos on Boone's cell phone. The footage showed Torres trapped in the suitcase, gasping for breath and calling out Boones name. Boone's chilling response, captured in the video, was, Yeah, thats what you do when you choke me, and Oh, thats what I feel like when you cheat on me.
The autopsy report further complicated Boone's account. It revealed that Torres had sustained scratches on his back and neck, contusions on his shoulder, skull, and forehead from blunt force trauma, and a cut near his busted lip. This evidence raises serious questions about Boone's version of events, casting a shadow of doubt over her innocence. As the trial date approaches, the truth behind this tragic incident waits to be unveiled.
