Video After The Jump
WINTER PARK, Fla. (CBS12) - A 42-year-old woman is facing second-degree murder charges for allegedly zipping her boyfriend inside a suitcase and leaving him to die, the Orange County Sheriff's Office said.
Sarah Boone was arrested Tuesday for the death of 42-year-old Jorge Torres Jr.
On Monday around 1 p.m., deputies responded to Frantz Lane after Boone reported that Torres was dead, WKMG reported. She told investigators they were playing hide-and-seek and the couple thought it would be funny if Torres got into the suitcase.
Boone said she zipped him in the suitcase and passed out in her bed later that night after drinking, according to WKMG. She woke up later and realized her boyfriend was still in the suitcase. She called 911 shortly after.
Deputies found Torres by the front door by a blue suitcase, WKMG reported. He had a "small laceration" on his lip and bruising around his eye.
After Boone gave deputies permission to search her phone, they found two videos on her phone, WKMG reported. One video shows Torres begging Boone to let him out because he couldn't breath while Boone laughed. The video also shows the suitcase facing down with Torres pushing on the suitcase trying to get out.
Based on what happened in the videos and her "inconsistent" statements, Boone was arrested for second-degree murder.
