Sarah Boone found guilty of second-degree murder in the death of her boyfriend, Jorge Torres

Sarah Boone, a Florida woman, has been found guilty of second-degree murder in the February 2020 death of her boyfriend, Jorge Torres.

The tragic incident occurred in Winter Park, Florida. Torres was found deceased inside a suitcase after a night of drinking and a bizarre game of hide-and-seek.

According to court documents, Boone initially claimed that the incident was an accident. She stated that she and Torres had been drinking and decided to play a game where Torres would hide inside the suitcase. Boone then fell asleep, unaware of the dire consequences.

However, video evidence recovered from Boone’s phone revealed a different story. The videos captured Torres’s distress as he struggled to breathe inside the suitcase, pleading for help. Boone’s response to his cries was callous and insensitive, as she made light of his suffering.

The medical examiner’s report confirmed that Torres died from asphyxiation and blunt force trauma.

After a series of legal delays, including multiple changes of attorneys, Boone’s trial finally commenced in October 2024. The jury found her guilty of second-degree murder, a verdict that brings a sense of justice to the family and friends of Jorge Torres.

This is a developing story that will be updated when more information is available.
