A Florida woman convicted of murdering her longtime boyfriend by zipping him inside of a suitcase and leaving him to die faces sentencing on December 2.
In Oct., Sarah Boone was convicted of second-degree murder for the death of Jorge Torres Jr., who was found dead inside a suitcase inside the couple’s shared apartment on the morning of Feb. 24, 2020.
In a series of interviews at the scene and the next day at the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, Boone told investigators that Torres had willingly gotten into the suitcase while the couple was playing hide-and-seek after a night of drinking.

Key evidence in the prosecutor’s case included two videos found on Boone’s phone that were recorded while Torres was in the suitcase. The videos showed the victim begging to be let out, with Boone laughing and taunting him. Boone told police she went up to bed shortly after the videos were taken and fell asleep, leaving Torres inside the luggage.
