Death in a suitcase - Sarah Boone recorded her boyfriend's murder

HIDE AND SEEK? This is a horrific story of uncontrollable bitterness during a drinking session that results in a chilly, merciless dawn of death.

In February 2020, Winter Park, Florida resident Sarah Boone zipped her 42-year-old lover Jorge Torres Jr. into a suitcase.

She informed authorities that she had believed he might escape the suitcase since they had been playing a game of hide-and-seek when she discovered him dead the next morning. Detectives' discovery of videos on her cellphone revealed a very different narrative.

Sarah first claimed to the detectives that she wasn't really that inebriated the previous night. It was important for her to make it apparent that she had not "passed out" from drinking; rather, she had mistakenly slept off while Jorge was still in the suitcase.

She didn't recall, however, that the previous night, when quite drunk, she had shot video proof. In the terrifying films that the detectives played to Sarah, the camera is focused towards a green suitcase that is lying on the ground, and a guy can be heard asking for assistance and saying that he is having trouble breathing.

But rather than receiving assistance, his cries are answered with jeers, mockery, and annoyance. Jorge yells out Sarah's name, and she slurs, "For all you've done to me. F**k you!"

In response to Jorge's repeated complaints about his breathing, Sarah says, "That's how I felt when you cheated," and "That's on you."

Sarah concludes the terrifying media-released video footage by saying, "You should probably shut the f**k up." As Jorge struggles for his life while confined, the luggage can be seen moving. He successfully turns the luggage over in the second video.

Prior to going to bed that night, Sarah insisted that Jorge was OK. However, the video footage proves otherwise, proving that she is aware of Jorge's pain and delight in it.

Sarah informs Jorge that she had the same sensation when he would choke her as he fights to breathe. Both of them had previously been detained for attacking each other in Orange County, Florida, several times.

Sarah was detained after Jorge was strangled in 2018. She said he struck her in the eye as a result of her conversation with another man in a pub. Jorge said that he had to shove her off of him to save himself from being strangled. Detectives at the time were unable to identify the perpetrator of the domestic violence event.

The next morning, Sarah calls 911 and tells the operator that she doesn't know how Jorge died and that he could have suffered an aneurysm. In order to give CPR, she also says she had to get him out of the luggage, but when the medics show up, he is still inside.

AUTOPSY OF JORGE TORRES

Jorge's corpse was also beaten up, and the examination revealed that he had died of asphyxiation. On his head, he had scratches, bruises, and a black eye. Also covered in scratches and bruises were his hands and back. He had spent the previous 11 hours confined within the case, it was discovered. When he passed away, alcohol was still in his body.

Second-degree murder is the current charge against Sarah Boone, who is being held without confinement in Orange County, Florida.

Now, something struck me as being incredibly intriguing. She claimed that while playing hide and seek, they both decided it "would be hilarious" to put Jorge in a suitcase, and he voluntarily hopped inside before she zipped him up. In my opinion, this demonstrates alcohol's effects quite plainly. Do you agree?

On the internet, you can still see the video Sarah took of Jorge in the suitcase. The fact that such things are out in the open is really disturbing. A murder is depicted in this video! What do you think about that?
