A Florida woman, Sarah Boone, has been sentenced to life in prison for the murder of her boyfriend, Jorge Torres Jr., whom she trapped in a suitcase, leaving him to suffocate.
The chilling incident occurred during an argument at their home in February 2020. Boone reportedly recorded a video showing Torres pleading for help while she taunted him, ignoring his cries for air. She claimed it was a “game of hide-and-seek gone wrong,” but investigators found evidence that contradicted her account.
The medical examiner confirmed Torres died from asphyxiation. Prosecutors argued Boone’s actions were deliberate and calculated, citing the video and her apparent lack of urgency in seeking help.
Boone’s sentence underscores the gravity of her actions, as the court deemed her conduct both cruel and premeditated. The case has drawn widespread attention for its disturbing details and the chilling lack of remorse displayed during the incident.
