A Florida woman has been sentenced to life in prison after being convicted of second-degree murder for leaving her boyfriend to die inside a suitcase. Sarah Boone, 47, was found guilty of second-degree murder in October 2024 for the death of Jorge Torres Jr., who died after being zipped inside a suitcase at their Winter Park apartment in February 2020.
As per ABC13, the incident happened on February 23, 2020, when Boone and Torres were drinking alcohol and playing what they said was a game of hide-and-seek. Court papers say they thought it would be funny for Torres to get inside the suitcase. Boone said Torres got into the suitcase on his own, and she zipped it closed.
