Pretty tickle. That's kind of neat all, right, So this one I hear, I'm going to serve up on a platter for y'all, and it's going to come out of none other than Orange County, Florida. That's right.

4:35 It always happens in Florida. And this was in twenty twenty, but it just now got big in the news. So this was the home of Sarah Boone. Now. Sarah was born in Atlanta and then her family moved to Orlando when she was just a kid. She grew up normally, nothing out of the ordinary, nothing weird. She went to Edgewater High School and she was doing well until her senior year when some things happened That marked a huge change, not only because she was going to be graduating high school, but because she lost her father during her senior year, and she loved her father and that was a rather big blow to her. She did graduate, but just a few years after graduation, she would lose her mother as well.

5:18 So her family was shrinking by the minute. After she lost her father and her mother, her grandparents both would all pass away around that same time, and so she was very limited in adult influences just as a young twenty something. Everyone seemed to pass away in her family. Now, I did find that she had two brothers. One of them joined the Marine Corps souh Simper five s al Ma Marine's out there, and the other one kind of won a different path and he was in and out of jail. So I guess, pick your poison, whichever route you'll want to take. But she was lucky in that wherever she lacked in male you know, family or male attention, she would soon meet a nice young man. His name was Brian Boone and they would begin dating in the nineties, So real quick to be clear, her maiden name wasn't Boone.

6:10 I'm just calling her Sarah Boone right now, so you'll know who I'm talking about if you've been following the media trial. She didn't marry her cousin or something, okay, but she married She met Brian Boone and then on August twenty first of two thousand and five, after dating for a couple of years, they finally tied the knot and began a family of their own, and with just in a few years they would have the birth of their first child and their last child, but his name was Lucas. Things just did not go well after a few years, with Brian being the more responsible of the two, and you know, he was more consistently employed, he seemed to be more mature, and so they just weren't jiving very well after the initial falling in love took place. Now, Brian is a thicker guy, and you look at him, he comes across as level headed, and he has the word I could only think of to describe him as jollyiness.

7:06 He has like this jollyiness about him when he speaks, and he seems like an easy going guy. And I got the feeling that Sarah acted more like a dependent to him than a partner to him. If that I hope that comes across like a mean it. But he just seemed like he was babysitting her a lot rather than her being a partner in life to him. They did remain married for thirteen years, but eventually the frustrations in the marriage led them to separate, and then they would ultimately divorce in twenty seventeen. But luckily, even throughout their differences, they did both want to be involved in their son's life, and so they agreed that they would have an alternating custody agreement for their baby boy. So the plan was that Sarah would have the child on Monday and Tuesday, Brian would have him on Wednesday and Thursday, and then they would alternate Friday, Saturday, and Sunday every week.

7:59 So pretty nice little split there where they both would get to see their son. So at this time, Sarah now found herself to be forty three years old and divorced. She is a small lady. She is five foot three and like ninety nine pounds. She has really short brown hair, and it's cut into a bob that splits in the middle and it kind of stacks in the back, and she kinda y'all, don't come at me, but she kind of looks like Lois on Family Guy if you've ever watched the Family Guy cartoon, if you're familiar with that, she she looks like Lois to me. And her most poignant feature is that she has really heavy, full cheeks and they kind of like pull down slightly at the corners. Now, some people mention the fact that I described someone as jowls in the past and like in another episode, and so I don't want to say that again, but she definitely had something that rhymes with the word fowls. Y'all, don't hate me. I'm just telling you the truth. So you can envision what this lady looks like. And she isn't someone to dress up or wear a lot of makeup either. She preferred a very natural face on the daily.

9:06 Her clothes were extremely casual. Oftentimes you'd see her wearing cotton shorts and a T shirt. She didn't really she wasn't dawled up in fancy most of the time. And look, I ain't hating I look like a homeless critter right now, y'all. If you're watching me podcast, look at me. I don't even have eyeshadow. One. It was a rough morning. It was raining, and I didn't get enough sleep. So whatever, Okay, I'm not better than anybody. I just want you to know kind of the people as I describe them. So on the outside, this seems like a great agreement between the two mature adults about their son and taking this divorce. You know, as well as they could, but the reality was that Sarah was just unreliable and honestly, she comes across as not being motivated to better her life either.

9:51 She's just not reliable. And Brian knew the drill, and for the love of his son, as aggravating as it was, kind of keep tabs with Sarah. He would call her to ensure that she remembered to go get Lucas from school on the days that she was supposed to pick him, you know, pick him up, and just really to make sure that he was cared for and picked up. He didn't stray away from making sure that she was there, even though it was kind of her fault that she wasn't there. Because one thing that Sarah really did enjoy was drinking. She loved to drink and she loved to chill out and relax. Although she didn't have a ton of friends that were close to her, she had no problem making friends at a bar that was really kind of across the street from her house, so there where she would hang out. She kind of quickly after her divorce, or in the throes of the divorce completion, met a man named George. Now this is not George spelled like the common George. This is spelled like Jorge j O R ge, but everybody referred to him as George, and she was introduced to him through a mutual friend. Sarah felt that he was very handsome, funny, She said, he was smart, and they really just kind of hit things off from the get go. They had so much in common, although these commonalities, in my humble opinion, tended to be more of a misery Love's company type of situation. So what do I mean by this, Well, they both were divorced or divorcing. They both loved music, they both loved to drink a lot, and they liked to smoke I

11:25 mean cigarettes too. I'm not talking about anything else. But they just, you know, bonded over the fact that their exes. They both jointly felt like their exes seemed to have all of the control in the situations with their with their children, and they both felt like the exes were the ones that were providing the stability for their respective children while they were both struggling financially. So to give you kind of the feeling of what this relationship was like, it wasn't like they were on a great successful track and going to do great things. They really were kind of struggling. Both of them were struggling, and due mostly to their own poor decision making and lack of professional skills, that's really why they were struggling, but struggle nonetheless. Now, George did not have a place of his own. He was known to stay at his mother's house. And yes, George is in his forties as well, but he would stay at his mother's home. While Sarah's ex husband at the point in the story, she was trying to he was trying to basically like buy her out of their joined marital home that they had during their thirteen years of marriage, and he had always helped her out, but he just felt like it was past time for her to leave their marital home and she needed to go get a place of her own. From what I understand, even though they were divorcing, the ex husband still would let her stay at the house and they didn't like just totally split directions or anything. He really just was trying to be really a nice ex and helpful to

12:56 her until she could get on her feet. But the issue was that she could not afford rent on a place of her own honestly, because she doesn't really work, and when she did work, it was really unsteady, and it wasn't like she had an income that was consistent, so money was always tight for her. And this kind of led to the fact that dating. Once they officially began dating, she and George decided rather quickly that they were going to live together, move in, and they would split the monthly bills so that they could both have a place of their own. Now, George was forty two at the time, and he was not originally from Florida. He's a Hispanic man, literally five foot three and a one hundred and three pounds. He's an itty bitty dude on the scale of you know, I guess average. He was very small. He was a cute little guy though.

13:44 If you saw him, he's just he's got a cuteness to him. He's thin, really really thin to honestly, he sported this black patch of hair on his chin and a thin mustache. And hold on, I gotta tell you all this. If you care about how if you wonder about how much I care about giving y'all detail about people, this is either funny or asinine. I'm not sure which one, but I went down a whole rabbit hole about facial hair names because I didn't know what to name the type of chin thing he had. It was not a go tee, but it wasn't a beard, and I was like, oh my god, the people, they've got to know. So it lies, according to my research, somewhere between a soul patch and a petite go tea. So if you look that up, I literally was on a man's facial hair site that a barber posted so I could describe this little patch of hair on his chin. All right. He dressed, from what I gathered and what the pictures I looked at and everything, he dressed younger than his age. And I say that because he often had on longer shorts, you know, like kind of really long shorts and a flat bill baseball cap. He had both of his ears pierced.

14:57 He had a little diamond stud in each of his ears to kind of give you his vibe, real chill, but not not necessarily dressing like the professional that goes to work every day. He basically was raised in Pennsylvania, but his family had moved to Central Florida, but had been there now for about twenty years, so they were established in the community. George had a big family. He had six siblings. There was a bunch of them. He was pretty tight with his brothers and now the brothers were Victor, Jose, Juan, Moe, and Ezekiel. And he also had a sister. I think her name was Victoria. It's actually not a big deal in the story, so I'm not sure if that's right, but I'm pretty sure her name is Victoria. And George had been married twice before.

15:38 One marriage produced two daughters and a son, and he was so proud of his girls, Anna and Destiny, as well as a son. His son was even named after him, So his son's name was George Junior, which just tickled him pink. And his son was disabled and wheelchair bound from what I understand, so he had a lot of tenderness towards his son. All of his children were still located in Pennsylvania and living with their mother, who George had a contentious relationship with, and they often had disagreements over what other than money, okay, usually because George didn't have any. He didn't have much, and he would always make a point to call his kids and tell them that he loved them and that he was proud of them, but as far as financial support goes, it didn't seem like he really had much to offer in that respect.

16:28 So the townhome that Sarah and George shared was in a very populated living community with units that connected together, although some of them, just so you can kind of visualize, some of them were two level town homes right with stairs, but then next to it might be one apartment on a bottom level and then another separate apartment on the top level, so it was kind of a mismatch of different types of homes. Well, they lived in one of the town homes that had upstairs and a downstairs, and it's a clean looking area outside is nice. A majority of people that lived there are like college age kids that are attending school places like Full Sale University, which is popular, and then some working class folks, and it kind of just seemed a mixed match group of people.

17:18 And the town home that Sarah and George had shared a wall with the apartment of Vincent Bataglia and Brandon Motes, who were two young college kids that were just roommates and living together while they were going to school, and they actually went to Full Sale as well, and they had been neighbors with George and Sarah for about maybe a little bit over a year, but that had been long enough for them. The truth was that the boys did not like Sarah and George. They weren't enemies. Okay, they didn't hate one another. I mean, matter of fact, I know one time, I remember Vincent went over and he tuned a guitar for Sarah that they were trying to get fixed, I guess for her son or something.

18:00 But they didn't hate one another. It's just that their lifestyles were so different, and the boys found them to be aggravating adults, basically due to their excessive drinking. Yet you know, I found that interesting. It was like yep, Vincent and Brandon would try to avoid their neighbors because they were always drunk and arguing, even though they were the adults and these were some college age kids. The arguing was loud, and it sometimes led to odd behaviors that the boys didn't like. Like one time Brandon said that he walked outside to find Sarah curled up and sleeping on her porch. So they had gotten drunk and were yelling and she's sleeping outside like a cat. It was rather aggravating to them that the fighting could also be heard through the walls even once they were inside, so they couldn't even escape the fighting if they were in their own apartment. And it was so consistent. This fighting was so consistent that the boys got accustomed to it and kind of learned to tune it out or just get used to it. So the apartment and the town home both had a back patio, and those back patios were obviously right next to one another. And all of the occupants between Sarah and George and the boys in the other apartment were smokers, which meant they would run into each other more often on the porch because they would be outside smoking, and you know, they couldn't avoid one another. So although the boys didn't want to have interactions with the couple, they sometimes had to out of just proximity of their porches. And one example I can tell you about it was when Vincent said one time he went out smoking and Sarah just started talking

19:31 to him. He did not approach her or want to talk to her, but she just started talking to him and then goes on to tell him and look, I hope you'll just keep your mouth shut if you overheard anything while we were fighting. And Vincent was just kind of put off by this. He found it to be kind of just gross that grown ass adults couldn't get their lives together and be sober for more than five minutes, and then had the audacity to tell him to be quiet, as if even cared. He didn't care. He wanted them to stop fighting so that they could live a decent home life. And it wasn't like no one in the apartment complex knew about their fighting either, and the issues that had persisted because the police were called there all the time. The neighbors would often kind of talk in whispers about the frequency that the police were coming to that apartment where Sarah and George lived. It would be the same old story though every single time the police show up, George goes to jail, and domestic violence seemed to be an automatic response when they would both start drinking.

20:32 But the violence just seemed to okay, I don't want to say, just seemed to be but just for the storytelling and understand what I'm saying, the violence seemed to be more like pushing and scratching over just total annihilation where they were close fist punching each other in the faces, and things like that. It's like they just kind of got into squabbles that turned physical. I'm not saying that's okay, I'm just saying that's what I observed. So now, the calls to nine one one were always made by Sarah. It was never George calling nine one one. Sarah would call, the police would arrive within minutes, and it happened so often that the police started to know the couple by name at a certain point. They were there so much.

21:16 So rather than gloss all of this over and just say, okay, they fought a lot, I watched a ton of body cam of some of these police calls and their responses to this town home over the years and the months prior to what was going what's going to happen in this case? And this is what I observed. The first call that I watched, Sarah called nine one one. She said that they were drinking at a bar and she just spoke to another man about a cigarette. I guess she asked a man for a cigarette, and she said George got mad and George left in her car and basically stole her car. So the police showed up and they're trying to muddle through that and figure out what's going on. And then on July twenty fifth, twenty eight team, she calls nine one one and says that George called her a bitch and a whore and that he had attacked her. She said, he choked me up against these metal doors that they had in their condo, that their washer and dryer were behind it, and she said he choked her up against those doors. And so she said, he choked me so hard that she said my tongue was flopping out, and then we fell to the ground and he stomped me in my face and then we both passed out. So then she says, and then when I woke up from passing out, that's when I called you guys. And just just so y'all know from the video, she did have a black eye and she had so, I mean, she did have something going on that looked like they had been in a fight. When the police

22:48 got there and they started looking at George, George also though had wounds to him. He had a red mark and some abrasions to the back of his neck and some other little, you know, incidental bobos if you will. So during the body cam interaction, I want y'all to know she is hammered, duh. Yes, I held out that h for you. Hammered drunk, okay, And it's one of those things where you can tell someone's trying to act like they're not drunk, but they're drunk. They're blitzed. And she would go from one minute talking to the next minute she's sobbing, crying, and then in the next instance she's just angered and lashing out with what she's saying.

23:28 So it's just not bizarre, but it's typical drunkard behavior. And then ultimately George is arrested for domestic violence on February fifteenth of twenty nineteen. There's another nine one one call and body cam that I watched, and this is during daylight hours. Again, during daylight hours, he's drunk and she's both drunk right there in the middle of the day. And her complaint she says that he hit her with a curtain rod, and so she claims that he pushed her down the stairs the night before too, but when the police checker, there's no injuries and so there's nothing really to back that up. And what I noticed is that anytime that George is arrested throughout these calls, he is very calm. He is cool as a cucumber. He has cuts on him, there's stuff on the back of his neck. And during questioning in this body cam that I watched, the police are kind of talking to him and he's sitting on the edge of the bed while they're talking to him, and he says he looks up at the police and he says, she hits me all the time. And so the police are like, Okay, well, y'all, what do y'all keep doing this for. Well, they're trying to get his ID so that they can verify that he's who he says he is. And it turns out she had gotten mad and thrown his ID into the bushes, and so they put him in cuffs and they go to arrest him and they put him in the car.

24:51 Now I want you to know, he starts crying in the car. He's very upset about being arrested. There's not one tier from Sarah and and she says, you know, put him under the jail. She's very smug about what's happening. And then when the cop is still trying to talk to her about the situation and make it make sense, she starts doing this thing. Now it personally aggravates me. Maybe it wouldn't you, but aggravates me. Or she starts pouting like this, and she's acting like she's a little girl and that she's just been abused, but it's not. It's it doesn't come across as a victim. I'm not saying she wasn't victimized, but it just doesn't come across that way. And then once the cop arrests George, she says, can I get a hop a hug from you? And it's like trying to hug him, and he's like, no, ma'am.

25:37 You know I'm just doing my job. No, thank you, And then she holds his hand and won't let go of the CoP's hand. He like kind of shakes her off of him. So as the cops walking back to the cop car, then Sarah yells out, I love you George to the cop car. George says something back, and then she starts smirking and she says he's a dick. So it's just kind of just all over the place whenever they're arresting, and before they take him to jail, she starts telling the cop, oh, you know, his family's gonna come and kill me. His family's gonna come and kill me. I'm scared and it just seems like typical emotional drunk woman shit is all I can chalk. It up to. That's how I took him. But you're more than welcome to go watch body cam yourself if you want to go find it. But on June eighteenth of twenty nineteen, the cops come out again in another bodycam video. Again he's chill. George is very chill, and he's talking to the police, and the police ask him, why are you here?

26:36 We keep having these problems, and George says, she texted me, she invited me over, she asked me to come over. And while this is happening, Sarah is all over the place. She's jumping up and down like a down two year old, almost throwing a fit. And then she starts flirting with the cop and acting really kind of coy, like, please don't arrest him, please, I just I called you just because I needed some help. Please don't arrest him, And the cops like, ma'am, we have to arrest him, Please don't. And the reason they had to arrest him was because the last time that they had been there the police a judge had issued a no contact order between the two of them due to the chronic problems. The no contact order gave the cops no choice. He had to be arrested because he had violated the order. Even though she invited him over and said she missed him and asked him to come over, he still ended up going to jail again. On August twenty ninth of twenty nineteen, she calls the police because George is at her house and she says, he's in the house and I don't want him here. And so when the police get there and they get into the house, all of the lights are off in the town home, and George is asleep on the couch. I mean, I watched it with my own eyes. He's laying on the couch asleep, and the cops walk in, they've got flashlights. They wake him up.

27:55 Sarah says she doesn't want him here, and so they arrest him. Then on September the fifth, twenty nineteen, there's another nine one one call and video. So when the police get there, they're both drinking and they're kind of trying to the cops trying to figure out what's going on, and so Sarah says, you know, he's been working at ACE Hardware. We've been struggling in a lot of aspects of our life, and it just seems like she always starts stuff and then calls y'all and blames it on me. That is what George tells the police. She starts it, calls y'all, and then I'm the one who always takes the blame. And in all sincerity, when he says that he seems utterly defeated in the video body language wise, he's like, it doesn't matter what happens. She starts a fight with me, and then y'all show up and I go to jail. And something I want you to know as a listener of my show is, out of all of these videos of bodycam videos, George is always calm and polite in every single video. Now, I'm not saying he's not drunk. I'm not saying that he hasn't done something he probably shouldn't have on with Sarah fighting and scratching and all that. But I'm telling you he's not jumping from the rooftops or threatening to fight or running or anything like that. He never even resists arrest not one time. So as you can tell, just from these experiences, I've told you there's a lot going on in this house, and both of them seem to add fuel to their relationship of fire. But it was Monday, February twenty third, twenty twenty when a nine one one call was made

29:28 by Sarah, and it wasn't the typical word drinking and fighting call. Sarah is calling saying I need medical assistance, and she needs it because George isn't breathing. So the dispatcher guides her through CPR, telling her to give breaths and compressions, and she does this until the ambulance arrives. So when the bodycam video starts is kind of where I'm going to pick up at. Sarah is outside, sitting on the curb. She's upset, and she almost seems like she's in shock over the fact that George is dead. Okay, there's not even a reason that the ambulance really should have got there, because he's dead. There is no chance at saving him. So she's sitting there almost like how could this be? Everything was fine just yesterday and now he's dead on the ground. Oh my god. Will Deputy Kayla Rodriguez and Deputy John Martinez arrive on scene there with the Orange County Sheriff's Office, and they're asking Sarah, okay, tell us what happened, you know, And Sarah becomes panicked almost so when she starts to describe it, and she says, I woke up. I woke up around twelve thirty, and I started panicking when I found him. I don't know if he's suffocated or if he had an aneurysm, or what happened. I just I just don't know. So to anyone who hears her say that, it's kind of like, well, those are two very different and confusing combos, you know, of thought, but she was very distraught about finding her boyfriend dead. So, but suffocation and aneurism seem don't Those seem just kind of weird things to say.

30:59 I do. I don't know what happened. It could be this or that. So, unsure of the circumstances, both of the deputies go through the home and they clear it first of all of any other possible people, which they don't find any. And as they're walking through the home, it's orderly, it's decorated, and it doesn't really look like there's been a struggle of any type at all. So Sarah remains outside. She's relatively calm, and she keeps asking for a drink of water, or can I go get my doctor Pepper? Can I go get my doctor Pepper. And eventually the cops are like, no, you can't go in the house. You can't go in the house. He's dead, you know, you can't go in the house. And so she walks over and just cuts on the water hose outside of the house or the town home, and she starts just gulping water out of the water hose. And I just thought that was kind of strange, So I'm just telling you about it, that she's just gulping the water out of the hose. Well, she couldn't go inside because George was clearly beyond help, And when the cops are in there and looking, he is inside on his back and he's in this nook area where a little table is that you would eat, and he is clearly dead, beyond any resuscitation. There was another man though, that was at the scene as well, but he was outside leaning on his vehicle and when police ask him who are you, he identifies himself as Sarah's ex husband. So the police are obviously wondering, why are you here and her current boyfriend dead in the house.

32:26 That's kind of strange. So Brian Boone starts explaining to the police. Look, he said, she called me last night. It was around eleven pm. She sounded really drunk, which was not unusual. He said, I was asleep, so I didn't pay much attention when she was talking to me because she does this. And he said, the next morning when I woke up, I'd dropped our son at school, and he said, I called her to verify you're going to pick him up from school, right, You're not going to forget him or anything. And she didn't answer the phone at first, but then she called back and told me George is dead. I don't know what to do.

33:07 So Brian said, I said, I'm on my way, and he flew over there to try to help Sarah. So she called again while he was en routed, saying, you know he's dead. He's dead. Oh my god, And he says, Sarah, hang up and call nine one one. Quit calling me. Call call nine one one, get an ambulance, and so it said. He said, it took me about ten minutes to get there, and when I arrived, she still hadn't called nine one one, and so he said, I insisted, you got a call, you gotta call. Call nine one one. So he did walk to the door. He said, I peeked into the living room and I could see feet sticking out of the backside of the kitchen living room area, and he said that was enough for me. I didn't go any further. I don't All I saw was the feet, and I came back outside. He said that. She kept then asking him, Hey, do you want to go smoke and maybe have a drink, because she was all upset, and he said no, and he just made him very uncomfortable at the thought of any of it. He didn't want any part of this, so he said, I just came back outside and I stayed in my car until y'all got here. So police then went to Sarah, and they wanted a more in depth explanation of why George might be dead on their living room floor. But all Sarah will say is I don't know. I don't know what happened. She said, we went to bed last night, everything was normal. Yesterday, you know, we came home, She said, we were enjoying each other's company. We were drinking a little bit, we painted, we did some artwork, we played some games, and then we decided after we were done painting, we would go play hide and seek, she said. So

34:39 I went and hid in the shower for a little while, but George never came up to find me. So I went back downstairs. And when I came downstairs, he was getting into this old suitcase that we had and trying to zip himself up in it, and we both started busting out laughing because we thought it was hilarious. So he couldn't zip it all the way. So she said, I went over there and I I zipped him up in it, and we were laughing and joking. And then I went upstairs and laid down in the bed and I must have dozed off. So when I woke up this morning, I figured that George was downstairs and he was working on the laptop, but I couldn't find him anywhere. And that's when it dawned on me, Oh my god, is he still in the suitcase. So she said, I rushed over there, I unzipped it, and oh my god, he was still in the suitcase. So the cop goes, wait, wait, you zipped him up in the suitcase and then you left him there all night. So you know, I'm sitting there me as someone viewing this, and I'm like, okay, well, like on a scale of you know, zero to what the fuck, I'd say, we're in the WTF zone at this point of weirdness and things that could happen. We've got an ex husband, hide and go seek between two grown adults and a guy dead in a suitcase. Okay, Wow.

35:48 So they continued the interview in an unmarked police car, which was outside the front of the town home, and she repeated the same thing. We painted, we did puzzles, we drank some wine, but she insisted that she was not drunk. She said it over and over again. We played hide and go seek, and they're like, well, why were you playing hide and go seek? And she said, well, he'd been stressing out about his ex wife and the bills and not having any money, so we just were trying to have some fun. And again I hid in the shower. I got bored, and they said, well, tell us about zipping him up in the suitcase, and she said, well, I zipped him in there, but not all the way. She said, he could get two fingers out of the suitcase, like I could see his little fingers quote unquote little fingers sticking out of it. And we were laughing. We were just laughing, haven't it was so funny? And she said, but then I went upstairs, and I guess I expected him to come out of the suitcase and dozed off, and he just never came up there. So about that time that that's happening, an investigator that was inside the house, I believe it was a CSI type person came out and spoke to the officer, who then excused herself, and that's when she's alerted, look, we found some videos on Sarah's cell phone that do show George zipped up in the suitcase, just like she's saying. So although they found those videos at that point, they would need a search warrant to extract and complete get complete data from the cell phone that would go really in depth. So now

37:21 this was officially a death investigation, and the crime scene investigators had taped off the apartment and we're going to go and process it. This is when Melissa Roughgarden and she is CSI. She went in and started taking pictures throughout the house. So, like I told you, it was a two story duplex. Well, the bottom half when you walk into the door. Right when you walk into the door, off to your right is a little kitchenette kitchen area, and then as you keep walking straight there is a living room, and to your left there's a flight of stairs that go up and those stairs. When you're going up those stairs, those are the ones that share the wall with the boys that live next door. Upstairs, there's two bedrooms and bathrooms, and she takes pictures of just an average looking home. There was art on the wall and music. There was a guitar that was on a stand kind of near the stairs. And then at the very back of the duplex, on the downstairs, when you were walking towards the stairs, was a full window, sliding glass door type thing to go outside to the patio where they often smoked. George is laying on his back and he's next to a blue suitcase and his arms are just kind of up and drawn up on his chest and they're bent at the wrist and he's just he's just laying there. There's blood on his mouth and on his face. It's coming out of his nose as well out of his mouth. And then there's some other bodily defects that can be seen just by looking at

38:54 his body. The suitcase, which is right next to him, was upside down and it was zipped closed. Now the dimensions of this suitcase, if you're curious, twenty nine inches long, twenty inches wide, eight and seven eighths inches deep. I told you that George was little and he could fit in this suitcase, but I want you to know it's bigger than a carry on. Okay, this would be a bag you would check, but it is a suitcase, and it had no pull on the zipper. What is on the zipper looks like a pink almost like a wrapped piece of electrical wire around the zipper that they used to kind of pull it if they were unable to get it open or closed, and it was hard to operate.

39:39 It did not smooth smoothly glide back and forth, and even when they were processing the zipper for evidence, they had a hard time opening the suitcase back up. And the suitcase was not empty. It had some contents in it, including some miscellaneous clothing, and there was also some paperwork in there. There was a white baseball cap, and there was blood all over the white baseball cap, and there was a tie like a necktie that had blood on it, as well as the very back of the suitcase, the part that would have been on the ground, that also was soaked with blood in it. There was also a prescription for diazepam. The prescription the diazepam inside was prescribed to George, and for me if if it was pill version, you know, I was kind of like, all right, well, you know, I get it, people take take the pills for whatever. But I wasn't as familiar with the uses of liquid valuum necessarily, so I did. I was curious.

40:39 I wanted to know what all is liquid valum used to treat. And I know, right now someone's gonna say, well, it could be anything, of course, but I'm just let me make the point here. So I started looking at it, and something that jumped out at me was that it's used for alcohol withdrawal. So I'm like, ding, ding ding, that makes sense, right, So he'd be taking this diazepam if he's trying to wean off of alcohol possibly, and maybe at some point he was and was having to do, you know, draw up his value so on body cam, you can see Sarah talking to the police and she asks him at some point, what are you going to tell his family as to why he's dead? And she turns and looks at Sarah and she goes the truth and they and she says, well, wait a minute. You know they're gonna think I killed him. They're gonna say I killed him. And it just seemed really strange because this was an accident. They were called out there for something that had happened that was accidental, and now you're saying that the family is going to blame you and might might. So it just didn't make sense. And the deputy also was very curious about why she would make that statement, So she says, why did you Why do you think that? Why do you think that the family's going to blame you? And she says, because they always blame me when things go wrong, and they call me the blue eyed White Dragon. And I was just like, oh damn, you know the family didn't like you enough that they gave you a name, the blue eyed White Dragon.

42:07 So based on this statement alone, it seemed pretty clear that George's family was not thrilled that he was dating Sarah. Now, Sarah then was brought in to the station for a more in depth interview from the one that she gave on scene, and they wanted blow by blow what happened on that day before you woke up and he was in the suitcase and she says, okay, George went to the store and he got cigarettes. Around four pm, we started painting and doing puzzles. We were drawing, we were drinking wine. He was stressing out about the job, and so I had bought the puzzles because I wanted him to have something to help him relax because he was just so stressed out. His ex wife was all over him.

42:50 And the reason that George didn't have a job was because he worked at that Ace Hardware, but they got dropped by the franchise because the store he was working at was not doing very well. And this just broke George's heart. He would, you know, he didn't want to lose that job. He liked working there, And she said, so he would come home to be with me, and it would just make him feel so much better to be home with me, because he may have been having a bad day, but once he's with me, it always makes his day so much better. But we're so broke. We're having to beg friends for money and to be able to pay for our electricity and our groceries. And so they're like, okay, well, what's it like, you know, on the daily basis, and she says, well, you know, we do smoke. We don't smoke in the house though I don't like that, so we always are smoking on the back porch and we take breaks out there. She said, we share a cell phone. It's mine, but we both use it. And she said, so at some point that afternoon, we had facetimed his daughters to talk to her, and then after that she said this one hundred times. We were just having fun and enjoying each other's company. That's when we decided to play hide and seek. So you're kind of They were curious to how many times have you ever played hide and seek? She says, oh, probably three or so. Asians, why are y'all doing this kind of stuff? She says, we don't have a lot of money because neither of us are employed, and so we have to do free entertainment. And we always thought that that was kind of funny. So we had this crappy suitcase and he got in it. We joked around, we laughed, and I zipped it up. We were cracking up. She was very adamant. I did not zip it up all of the way. His fingers were sticking out, and she says, yeah,

44:24 I do recognize that the zipper pool was broken, but he was able to get two fingers out, so he should have been able to open it because he could get the two fingers out. So they asked her, okay, well did he ever ask to be let out of the suitcase at any point? And she's like, no, we were just laughing about it. There was nothing negative said or anything like that. It was just funny. And normally we sleep in the same bed. We go to bed together at the same time, and we would watch a little TV before we fall asleep, she said, But I went upstairs. I didn't even turn on the TV. I just fell asleep. And that was weird to me. I'm kind of like why, she says, I was mentally exhausted. I'm thinking, what are you mentally exhaus I'm not working, Like, how tired can you be? But she said she was exhausted.

45:05 She expected him to get out and then to come upstairs when she figured they would have sexual relations, and then she said, I must have dozed off before he was able to come up there. But because neither of them were employed, she usually would sleep in in the morning times and get ready kind of late for the day. She said, I got up around eleven or so the next morning. Now, George normally gets up around six thirty in the morning. He was an early riser, but because he's been out of work for the last two weeks, he's been getting up, getting on the computer and doing job searches to try to find a job. So I thought that he was downstairs doing that. And then she jumps into the fact that he's been losing teeth lately, and he was complaining that his chest hurt and he wouldn't go to the doctor for it because he didn't have insurance, and that's why he was doing the job search so hard. She said, he even recently lost on Wiley was eating and she said, I told him that he needed to go to a walk in clinic for his you know, health issues and just let him bill him.

46:08 But he was just really you know, against that because he didn't have insurance. But he was eating like a horse, and you know, this has been going on for months now that he's been looking really skinny, so she said, but I looked on the back porch, I couldn't find him. That's when I found him on the suitcase and I started doing CPR. She said, error was coming out when I got him out of the suitcase and he gurgled. She said, I started shaking him, but I could tell by looking at him that something was wrong. So I panicked, and I had a bunch of miscalls on my phone from my ex husband, and she says, They say, why is your ex husband calling you? And she says, oh, because I've been doing job interviews lately, and so he doesn't know if I'll be at a job interview or not, which the police pretty much by body language you could tell called bullshit on that. It was just that she was unreliable, but she was trying to make herself look better.

46:58 And she said he told me called my when one I'm on the way, and she just keeps saying, I don't know what happened. I don't know what happened. Then she says the whole teeth losing thing, I don't know what happened. There was no arguing. I just don't know what happened. So they say, we're all drunk. No, we weren't. We had a handful of glasses throughout the weekend. And the police kind of look at her and say, well, you know, you can be drunk at home. We're not judging you. There's no fault. You can be drunk at home, there's no problem. She's like, we were not drunk, okay. That night I cooked pork sandwiches or had She had left over pork and they made sandwiches with cheese, and so that's when they ask her, look, is there any reason that George would have any injuries? And that's when she says, well, he and his brother had gotten in a fistfight a couple of years ago and he had to have facial reconstruction surgery, like his eyes and his nose were damaged. And she said, I mean he looked normal to me, but his kids say he looks different.

47:56 They're like, no, that's not what we're talking about. And she says no, and there shouldn't be any injuries. I mean, he did have a stint with alcohol and marijuana back in Philly when he was a teenager, but I don't know of any injuries he would have today. I just don't know what happened, and she again brings up the aneurysm. So Sarah was allowed to leave after they do this entire questioning and they continue to investigate what seemed to be a horrific accident. So she went to stay with her ex husband. He was going to allow her to go over there while this was underway because she couldn't go back to the apartment. So then the autopsy came back and the Orange County forensic pathologist had performed this autopsy, which they call a medical legal investigation. But Rigormortis was relaxing by the time the autopsy took place, as well as the fact that the doctor noted that George had skin slippage, which is where your skin kind of starts coming off, and based on the lividity or the blood that was pooling, the doctor felt that George had been in a fetal position, lying face down on his left side when he passed away. Now, there were some other stuff in the report though that kind of seemed interesting.

49:10 He had blunt force injuries to his eye and to his mouth area. These injuries were severe enough that his left eye had bruising around it. And then he had like a contusion on his left forehead that was still swollen out. He had bruising on his forearms. His left shoulder was bruised and red. The back of his neck had abrasions and bruising. There was a large bruising on both of his hands. His lips had cuts and cracks in his lips. He also had bruising on his left back side and they were three large linear bruises. And then there was that contusion on his head. Now, the doctor even went so far as to peel back the skin and she found it was a lady. She found that contusion in the bleeding was not just in the top of the skin. It was on his scalp, but it also extended through all of the layers of skin and went down to his actual skull. Okay, so like this was a serious contusion. And the doctor noted that the wounds were new, they were not old, They were not in any type of healing phase. So the doctor said these had to have occurred at occurred at relatively the same time as the death would have occurred. The toxicology showed that Georgie's blood alcohol content was point one three nine at autopsy. Now, remember he's one hundred and

50:41 three pounds. He's a little bitty dude. So it's likely that throughout the eleven hours he was in the fetal position in the suitcase, that his blood alcohol was higher. As he metabolized it, it went down. I mean the legal limit, y'all's point zero eight. He's at point one three to nine. Now, he was a drink, so he could have had a higher tolerance than the average joe. But he also had nicotine and caffeine in his system, but nothing illegal. But the doctor ruled his cause of death as positional asphyxia with environmental factors. And what that meant was he was in an unusual position for such an extended period of time that it made it physically impossible for him to expand his lungs and breathe. He was so tight in that fetal position in that suitcase he physically could not get air into his lungs. That means such little oxygen that he wouldn't have been able to live. The environmental factors they're talking about are basically that he was enclosed in a suitcase where there was not enough oxygen to sustain life over time. That's how tight he was zipped into this suitcase. And y'all, he was in there for over now near eleven hours, unable to breathe effectively or efficiently. So over time, as he started losing oxygen, this would have brought about mounting issues for him. The average person, y'all, with no medical issues,

52:12 your oxygenation is about ninety five percent or better. The brain is your most sensitive organ, and so when your brain starts losing oxygen, I mean that's why they monitor you so closely in the hospital. If you drop below even ninety two percent, they start having a concern. But I mean, you get below eighty and people are likely to die within twenty four hours. I mean, shit, think about COVID, y'all. People couldn't breathe. Where are my nurses at? Give me some shout outs online? Oxygen is important, and they did. They said that at some point the oxygen would have been so little. I mean, he would have dropped below eighty percent oxygen content in that suitcase is what they believe would have happened. And hypoxia is no joke.

52:58 So there's initial symptoms and I'm doing this, it's not as a science lesson but to explain what George went through. His initial symptoms of hypoxia, he would have started becoming confused and disoriented. His speech would have started to slur because he's not getting enough oxygen to the brain, and then eventually there's poor judgment and you become uncoordinated because you can't fucking breathe, and then eventually you go into a coma and then you die. George's oxygen level, his supply was so low that he would become unresponsive and die and suffocate. So I know, when I first heard about this case of a guy dying in a suitcase, it almost seemed funny. It's not funny. There's nothing funny about what he went through at all. So the manner of death, your options are natural, accidental suicide, homicide are undetermined.

53:48 This was ruled as a homicide because there was evidence, based on those wounds that he got, that more had happened to George than just suffocation. There was no doubt it was not an accident of just suffocation, and so the police intended to figure out what that was exactly. So the investigators went and spoke to those neighbor boys and asked them, do you recall a few nights ago if anything happened that maybe had gotten your attention, and they both immediately said yes. They said that on the evening of February twenty third, that the fighting next door had gotten so excessively loud that at one point the boys were in different rooms. Okay, they were in their individual rooms. At one point they heard a noise that was so loud that it startled them. And it was a booming noise, so loud and voracious that it shook the walls between the apartments, and one of the boys was facetiming his girlfriend and it was so loud. It was so loud. Even the girlfriend who was facetiming, was like, WHOA, what was that noise? And they said it was a rumbling noise. Neither one of them could figure out what it was, but it definitely came in the neighbor's house and it was between ten and eleven PM. So if the boom sound happened around eleven PM, and according to Sarah's own words, she had gone to bed around midnight the very night in question, it sure was interesting in relation to the two videos that would be found on

55:22 her cell phone that something went on and there was an hour timeframe that something went on. Now, remember Sarah claimed that nothing had happened, and la la la, la la. But those videos that were found on her cell phone would prove a little differently. Those videos, after the search warrant was cut and they looked at them, Sarah told them he was only in that suitcase a minute or two. He was not in there long before I went upstairs. That's why I didn't know. He didn't get out, but he wasn't in there very long. Well, the first video on her cell phone was taken at eleven twelve pm, and he is in the suitcase. The other was at eleven twenty three pm and he's still in the suitcase. Well, y'all, that's twelve minutes from the get go, not one or two minutes. And the fact that she said she went to bed at midnight and the videos start at eleven twelve, it just kind of seems like she's lying all together about how long he was in the suitcase and what was going on. And something else came to light as well, because something that had been entered into evidence was a baseball bat that was in the apartment downstairs or in the condo downstairs and they had taken it and tested it for DNA. Guess whose DNA was on the baseball bat.

56:49 Sarah's so, considering the wounds on George and the fact that he's dead and the boys heard the big booming sound, police won to talk to her because it's sure as hell sounds like he was thrown downstairs in a suitcase and it shook the walls, and then someone beat the shit out of George with a baseball bat, zipped it after he was already zipped up in it, and then left him there. It really certainly seemed like that. So they go back and have another interview with Sarah, and this interrogation becomes a little bit more confrontational. They bring up the wounds that he has and Sarah looks them up and said, oh, well, he did fall off his bike recently and he's notorious for running into walls. And they're like, no, these wounds aren't. Aren't really in line with that. They're like, what about his neck? He had he had some stuff on his neck, and she goes, oh, I don't know anything about a neck injury, and they're like no, no, no, these injuries are new, like new new, These aren't days old. These are new injuries. And that's when she says, oh, well, he hit me with a curtain rod about a month ago and I got an injury.

57:59 But since the last next time you went to jail, we've been doing really, really good. He's been seeing a probation officer. He's been going to alcohol like alcoholic anonymous types classes. And she said he comes home all the time and either you know, I run away or I go upstairs and go to sleep, because when he comes home, he's just belligerent drunk. And they're like, well, wait a minute, I thought you just said y'all were good. You've been saying y'all were good. Which one is it? You said there was no fighting, and she says, well, he gets drunk. Matter of fact, I can show you. I've been documenting this on my phone. There's pictures of me with like a fingertip that's bloody and a busted lip. And she said, I love him, so that's why I stay. I've veiled him out three times from jail, and I even went to all of those hearings for him. He likes to drink and get drunk. I don't. And she starts going into I have to attend to my son, and I have a lot of things I'm responsible for. But I want to point out what did her ex husband say about her. She's very unreliable. So are you really taking care of your son? And so the cops say, okay, well, yesterday you said y'all weren't drunk, and now you're saying he's belligerent drunk and you just had a glass or two of wine. Well, insert some more evidence that Sarah didn't take into account. There were two empty wine bottles that were found in the trash at the home, empty like done empty, and both of them had been bought the day of George's death. Now, she had tried to say that they were just drinking some leftover wine, but

59:29 that's not the case. We know this because there was video evidence of George going to buy a bottle of wine, and then later on they went together and bought another bottle of wine. So that's another lie that she's caught in. And by the way, these bottles of wine are one and a half liter bottles of wine, basically the double the size of a regular bottle. It was Woodbridge Chardnay, and that's a lot of wine. Considering what a traditional glass of wine should be. These were massive bottles. And so she continues on in this interview, acting like she's his balance and his savior and that she's the only one who can help him with his emotion regulation and all of his struggles. And she's like, he's been going to anger management classes and we've been learning together about how he's hurting people. And he brings home his worksheets and videos and he apologizes for hurting me, but he's been improving. And then the next senut she goes, oh, yeah, but I did previously look to follow a restraining order against him. I want you to know that. So she goes on and want to say, well, the town home doesn't have a lot of space, and sometimes I just need space from him. Okay, he just doesn't go away, and they say, okay, well, tell us about the suitcase again.

1:00:41 Why was it even out? And she said, well, we had cleaned out the house and we were going to donate it. And then she says this line that I will never forget. It's a quote. I don't think y'all understand who I am. She's talking to the investigators. I don't think y'all understand who I am. I excel at everything, and I'm an excellent mother. The fuck who is gonna say that in the middle of a homicide investigation? I excel at everything. Okay, well, looks like killing someone too, I mean, if you want to be so for real right now? And so they ask her directly, did you take any videos on your cell phone that night? And she directly answers, no, I did not take any videos that night. And that's when they grab the computer and they say, well, we want you to watch these two videos then that we have, and she turns the computer.

1:01:30 Now they never say what's on the video. They just say I want you to watch this, and she says, I don't know how much I can take. Do I have to watch? I mean I continuously throw up and I can't sleep already. Okay, well, if you didn't take the video, then why would you be scared to watch anything? Well, how do you know this isn't something happy? You know? And I want you, the listener right now, to listen to this just snippet of George in the suitcase from the cell phone recording, And I want you to tell me does it sound like he is laughing? And they are joking and having fun. I want you to hear it now. Again, this is not the full video. This is just a snippet of it. Go ahead and take a listen.

1:02:12 Sorrow, that's on you, Sarah. It's on you, Sarah. Real had them. Now you want to give me for it? Extra h I got it? Really, I can't believe that's what sorrow. Yeah, he's trying to shut the buck, got.

1:03:19 Sh okay. Just you listening to that, you can tell she's totally blitzed and she's being hateful and she's laughing at him, and to me, he sounds desperate. Sarah, Sarah, I can't breathe, babe, Sarah. You know, it's just kind of strange. And in the video, the suitcase is upside down, which I want to point out to you, means that it had to have been flipped over, because if he crawled inside of it to begin with and now it's upside down, he didn't flip it himself. He's in the fetal position where he can't move. And I'll like to tell you this, there's no fingers sticking out of the suitcase at any point in in any of the videos.

1:04:01 All you see is the top of it, pushing up and him going Sarah, I can't breathe. Sarah, Please, Sarah. I'm not joking. I can't breathe. She keeps saying, they were laughing and joking. But as for me, in my house, that is not at all what it looks like in the video. It looks to me and it sounds to me like he's begging to be let out. She is the only one laughing, mind you. She says things like fuck you. When he says I can't breathe, she says, well, why don't you shut the fuck up. Then in another statement, when he says I can't breathe, and he goes Sarah, Sarah, and she says, that's my name. Don't wear it out. He's pleading that he cannot breathe, and she sits there and laughs at him and makes fun of him. And a joke, as far as I'm concerned, is not funny When only one of the two people is laughing, that's mean, it's not funny. Now she doesn't remember making the videos.

1:04:55 Why hmm, She says, well, I was drinking, you know, whenever this happened. And that's when the police come back and go wait, a minute. I thought you weren't drunk. You were very adamant for the last two days that you weren't drunk. Which one is it? And then one of them looks at her and said, would you do this to your child? Would you sip your son up in a suitcase and leave him? Is that funny? And she also said in one of the videos, that's how I feel whenever you choke me, when you cheat on me. When he's saying I can't breathe. So Sarah kind of looks at them and goes, well, wait a minute, y'all are acting like you're under the assumption that I was like, oh, I've got him in the suitcase now and now I'm going to go to sleep. And the detective goes, Sarah, it's not an assumption, it's literally what happened. I'm asking you to explain it. And me, as a viewer of the audio of the video of the interrogation, I'm going to tell you Sarah did not drop one teer, not one her beloved who died. She does not drop one tear.

1:05:51 She was awake for thirty minutes, per her own words, before she went to go to sleep, and then she never went back down to check on him. She says, you know, I thought he would come upstairs in a minute. Okay, Well he was telling you he can't breathe and he can't get out while you were down there, and then you went upstairs thinking, oh, he was gonna magically get out while you were laughing him and saying fuck you. Yeah, that's not really working out. And then she lies and says that the bottles of wine were from different days, which was proven a lie because they could see it on the camera on the on the and I have pictures, by the way, on Patreon of all this, so you can assess the pictures and see what you think. Then she goes, well, wait a minute, look at me. I don't have any wounds on me. Look and she like puts her hands out and you can come on, dummy, No shit, it's because he was in the suitcase when you beat the shit out of him. Of course you don't have any wounds. He couldn't fight back. You know.

1:06:47 It's just it's unbelievable. And she goes, well, everyone knows what I've done for George, and I make him happier and a better person. This was unintentional and not malicious, and the detective says, well, your words sure sound malicious, and maybe the fact is that drunk you is different than sober you, and she snarls back at him, I wasn't drunk. I don't remember taking the videos, but I didn't touch him. And they're like, sorry, I hate to tell you this, but you did beat him with a baseball bat and it looks like you were drunk when you were doing it. And she says, well, he's an alcoholic and his family's gonna blame me because they don't like me. I mean, hell, he's been divorced twice, wrecking cars, drinking and driving, and I just want you to know I fear for my safety because when his family finds out, they're gonna kill me. And so the detectives are just kind of looking at her like, I don't think you're grasping what you've done here, and then, as if she is completely and totally out of touch with reality, she had written out a list of questions for police, like she was his manager, his estate manager or something. She pulls out a sheet of paper out of her purse and she says, Okay, I need to know. Can I call his former employees and tell them, and the cops are like, I can't tell you what to do. It's America, dude, call who you want to call? And she goes, well, how am I gonna get details about his funeral? I'd like to go to his funeral. The detectives say, he hasn't been dead seventy two hours. I mean, I don't know about the funeral. His family's just now processing that he's dead. And she said, well, they're not gonna let

1:08:18 me go. They're like, it's not my problem. And then she says, how do I get his engagement ring back? Because he had asked me to marry him and I agreed, and so we had exchanged rings, but I want the ring back. Well, he's at the freakin' coroner's office, ma'am, like he had y'all. He's barely unstiffed at this point, and she's acting like whatever. She says, uh, do I get my phone back? Because I need my laptop and I need that baseball bat back for my son. The callousness of it is unbelievable, and she says to them, well, what's next. I need to know. I need to get my ducks in a row. I don't want you showing up my house to question me about anything with Lucas if he's there. And the next statement is so telling to me. She says, I'm gonna be staying at my ex's house until all of this blows over. Blows over.

1:09:09 A man suffocated and had the shit beat out of him in a baby, you know, in a suitcase, and you're just gonna wait till it blows over. And she says, well, what are you gonna tell his parents? Again? She wanted to know? And the detective says, why does it matter to you so much? And she says, well, y'all are just adding fuel to this fire like it's everyone else's, everyone else's problem. And that's when the detective says, well, why don't you just turn around and put your hands behind your back, and they take her into custody and they charge her with the death of George. Now you might find this interesting. After arrest, she becomes completely indignant and starts yelling at people or fussing at people, saying that y'all tricked me, y'all tricked me into this. The whole time I thought I was coming to tell y'all what happened, and you tricked me, and now my son won't get to see me. Why could you? You know, how could y'all do this? And I'm sitting here going like she's so out of touch? She goes, am, I gonna go to a holding cell because the last time I was in a jail cell, I had a panic attack.

1:10:06 Fucking bitch. How do you think George felt when you zipped him into a suitcase, beat the shit out of him, and he told you for fifteen to twenty minutes he could not breathe. You think he was having a panic attack? He died, and you're worried about your comfort in a cell. I have never now normally I'm gonna tell y'all something. Normally, this is where I say that she was arrested and I give you the outcome and the trial. But in this case, I feel compelled to tell you about the trial because it's gonna really let you see who Sarah Boone is. And I've left a lot out that I'm gonna tell you in the next little It's gonna be a quickie sooad, not a full sewed, but I will follow up with it. You're gonna want to listen to it, trust me. You're gonna want to listen to it, because I am telling you I could eat a can of alphabet soup and I could shit a better argument than this.

1:10:59 One woman's gonna come up with.
