Murder of Jorge Torres

Uncommon card · No. 102601

Jorge Torres Jr., a 42-year-old American man, suffocated to death in Winter Park, Florida after being zipped into a suitcase on February 23, 2020, by his girlfriend, then-42-year-old Sarah Boone. Boone was arrested for second-degree murder after police discovered videos on her phone of her interacting with Torres while he was in the suitcase. She was convicted on October 25, 2024, and subsequently sentenced to life in prison. Boone's legal proceedings drew attention in part from her written correspondence with the judge and a number of defense lawyers withdrawing from the case. Media referred to the case as the suitcase murder trial.
