The woman later called 911, telling the employee, “My friend is dead.”

She continued, “My friend and I were playing last night and I put him in a suitcase and we were playing…hide and seek, so…I fell asleep and woke up and he was dead in the bag. I don’t know what happened.”

Boone went on to tell the officer that Torres had “blood coming out of his mouth” and speculated that he might have suffered from an aneurysm.

She added that her friend turned purple when she took him out of the bag and tried to give him cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).

She can be heard telling the answering machine, “It’s stiff and purple.”

During her initial statement to the detective, Boone said she and Torres were drawing pictures, completing a puzzle, and drinking Woodbridge Chardonnay when they decided to play hide and seek.

Boone said she hid upstairs to take a shower, but Torres didn’t come to look for her.

When I went downstairs, I found him in the living room and together they decided to close the blue bag that Torres had entered, leaving two of his fingers sticking out of the clouds.

“They laughed together at hiding and looking in the bag”

“Sarah and Jorge were laughing as he zipped him inside the bag,” the affidavit said.

At 12:30 a.m., Boone said she decided to go upstairs while Torres was still strapped to the bag, thinking he could go out on his own.

Boone lay on his bed and fell asleep half an hour later. She claimed that neither she nor her boyfriend had been drunk from wine.

She told the investigator that she assumed Torres would get out of the bag and sleep with her, the affidavit stated.

Boone woke up the next morning and stayed in bed for a while. He said he assumed Torres was already downstairs “on the laptop looking for work”.

She finally came down to the living room around 11 am and couldn’t find her boyfriend anywhere.

According to the arrest document, “Sarah panicked and remembered the last time she saw George was when she put him in the bag and closed the zipper.”

Then she unzipped the bag and found Jorge inside, unconscious.

Bruises and cuts on the victim’s body

Boone called her ex, who arrived minutes later and told her to call “100”.

When the officers arrived, they found Torres’ lifeless body on the ground next to a blue suitcase.

The document indicated that the victim sustained a cut on his lip, bruises around his eye, forehead and shoulder, and scratches on the nails on his back and neck.

During the investigation, Boone gave verbal and written consent to the informant to search her phone, which led to the discovery of the two videos in question.

In her testimony, Boone denied that she fought with Torres and that she intentionally left him in the bag.

He also said he did not remember recording the videos, which he admitted “looked bad”.

Boone then allegedly retracted her initial police statement, attributing what happened to her and Torres’ alcohol consumption.

History of domestic violence for both

However, police records show that the couple has a history of domestic violence.

In June 2018, Boone was arrested on battery charges of attempted strangulation targeting her boyfriend, while Jorge was charged with battery caused by an alcohol-filled fight inside their home.

According to an affidavit, Torres told an officer that Boone wrapped her arms around his neck and tried to strangle him, while he kicked her as he tried to get away from her after an argument.

A year later, Torres was arrested twice within two months for assault.

Jorge Torres was the father of three children, while Sarah Boone has a son from a previous marriage.

Boone pleaded, until the last minute, not guilty to second-degree murder.
