FLORIDA WOMAN FILMS HERSELF LAUGHING, LEAVES LOVER TO DIE IN SUITCASE: GUILTY

A jury has convicted Sarah Boone in the suitcase death of her boyfriend. Boone called 911, telling the operator that she and her boyfriend had been playing around, and she fell asleep.

When she woke up the next morning, Jorge Torres, Jr. was dead inside a suitcase, but that isn't exactly true. Although it's unclear how Boone convinced her 42-year-old boyfriend to get into the suitcase, we do know she zipped him inside and refused to let him out, no matter how much he begged. We know this because Boone recorded the incident on her phone, taunting Torres as he said he couldn't breathe and pleaded to be released.

Boone claims the couple had been drinking a bottle of wine and decided to play hide-and-seek. Court records show Torres had been in the suitcase for about three hours when Boone says she fell asleep, waking up late the next day. She says she then remembered Torres was still in the suitcase, pulled him out, found his body was purple, and attempted CPR. However, she also called her ex-husband before dialing 911.

Boone, 46,  convicted of second-degree murder in Jorge Torres's death.
