    Throwback: Hide and Seek—Jorge Torres Jr

    In February 2020, Sarah Boone made a chilling 911 call claiming to have found her boyfriend, Jorge Torres Jr., lifeless inside a suitcase after an innocent game of hide-and-seek turned deadly. According to Sarah, she had fallen asleep, leaving Jorge trapped and unable to escape—a horrific accident, or so she insisted. But Sarah’s demeanor during the call was erratic, her words detached and cold. The pieces didn’t quite fit. Then, a damning video surfaced: Jorge, locked inside the suitcase, desperately gasping, “I can’t breathe,” and pleading for his life while Sarah mocked him. That video turned the case upside down, transforming a supposed accident into something far more sinister. Sarah Boone was arrested and charged with second-degree murder, her chilling actions leading to a trial that left everyone questioning the dark side of human relationships. Join us as we revisit this unforgettable case that still haunts true crime enthusiasts to this day. Thanks to the sponsor of this episode.
