Disturbing cellphone footage showed a Florida woman – accused of fatally suffocating her boyfriend in a suitcase – giggling as he plead for help while trapped in the luggage.
Sarah Boone, 46, was arrested in February 2020 after telling police she had passed out after zipping Jorge Torres Jr, 42, inside the bag during a booze-fueled game of hide-and-seek at their home in Winter Park, Florida.
However, footage from her phone shows him thrashing around in the suitcase, telling her ‘I can’t f***ing breathe’ as she yells back at him.
Boone took two clips of her laughing and taunting Torres as he begged for his life, evidence from the state attorney’s office revealed.
Torres repeatedly called out for Boone and she replied through laughter: ‘For everything you’ve done to me, f**k you, stupid.’

‘I can’t f**ing breathe, babe, seriously,’ Torres said.
‘Yeah, that’s what you do when you choke me,’ Boone replied.
Torres continued to cry for her help pleading that he cannot breathe and Boone told him: ‘That’s what I feel like when you cheat on me.’
‘I can’t breathe, Sarah,’ Torres said. Boone replied, ‘Then you should probably shut the f**k up.’
The videos show two different angles of the suitcase, one with the front of bag faced up laying next to a flip flop and another with front on the ground.
Interrogation footage shows investigators questioned how Torres suffocated inside the suitcase, which Boone claimed was an accident as they played a drunken game of hide and seek.
Boone said she and Torres were painting pictures, completing a puzzle and drinking Woodbridge Chardonnay when they decided to play hide-and-seek.
Boone said she hid upstairs in the shower, but Torres never went up to look for her. When she came downstairs, she found Torres in the living room, and together they decided to have her zip up Torres in the blue suitcase, and she claimed she left two of his fingers sticking out of the zipper.

Boones attorney claimed she suffered from battered spouse syndrome, and Torres (pictured) had a history of domestic violence
She has pleaded not guilty to a second degree murder charge and on Monday the state offer her a plea deal, which she denied.
Jury selection for her trial is slated to begin on October 14 and she faces a life sentence if she’s convicted of second-degree murder.
Last week Boone requested to have professional hair and makeup for her murder trial – but her audacious ask was denied.
Boone has represented herself for much of her court saga since her arrest, and is now being represented by her ninth attorney after eight others were removed or quit.
Her most recent attorney, James Owens, claimed she suffered from battered spouse syndrome, and Torres had a history of domestic violence involving Boone, including a battery charge in 2018 related to a drunken altercation inside their home.
