Sarah Boones claims her boyfriend climbed into a suitcase as a joke and she assumed he'd be able to get out, but police say she ignored his cry for help.

When Sarah Boone called police on Monday to report that her boyfriend was dead, she blamed it on a game of hide-and-seek.

According to an arrest affidavit from the Orange County Sheriff's Office, Boone claimed that she and Torres, 42, had been drinking in their shared apartment in Winter Park, Florida, on Sunday night when they got an idea for a prank. The pair "thought it would be funny" if Boone zipped Torres inside a large suitcase in their living room, she said.

Deputies found Torres' body next to the suitcase by the apartment's door, with a small cut on his lip and bruising around one eye. According to the arrest affidavit, Boone allowed them to search her phone. It contained two videos that contradicted the story she'd told them earlier.One video, filmed a little after 11 p.m. Sunday, showed Torres repeatedly yelling Boone's name as he struggled to break free from the suitcase.

A second video showed Torres calling out Boone's name from inside the zipped suitcase, the affidavit says. When deputies showed Boone the first video, she only got halfway through before telling the detectives that she wanted to stop, according to the Sentinel. She allegedly told police that the videos looked "bad" and she didn't recall filming either of them.
