Case Summary
On February 23, 2020, Sarah Boone called her ex-husband, Brian Boone, while appearing to be heavily intoxicated. Boone initially told responding deputies and detectives that his death was a horrific accident resulting from a drunken game of hide-and-seek. She claimed that after drinking wine, they both thought it would be “funny” if Torres climbed into a 28-inch suitcase. According to Boone, she went upstairs to bed, “passed out,” and completely forgot he was trapped inside until she woke up the next afternoon and found him unresponsive. An autopsy later concluded that Torres died from asphyxiation (suffocation) after being locked inside the tight, unventilated space for hours.
