It’s one of the most bizarre and disturbing cases we’ve covered yet: when Sarah Boone called 911 in 2020 to report her boyfriend dead, she claimed it was all a tragic accident during a game of hide and seek. But the body of Jorge Torres told a different story.... and so did the videos Sarah forgot to delete.

This week, we’re diving into the shocking case of Sarah Boone, the Florida woman who said she zipped her boyfriend into a suitcase “as a joke” and then left him there overnight. But investigators quickly found evidence that shattered her version of events, including horrifying footage of Jorge pleading for his life and Sarah laughing in response.

We’ll break down the twisted timeline, the toxic relationship history, the long delayed trial, and the controversial use of battered woman syndrome as a defense. Was this a case of reactive abuse pushed to the limit, or calculated revenge? And what does justice look like when both people in a relationship have been hurt?
