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.
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

(04:46):
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,

(05:09):
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.
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

(05:29):
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

(05:51):
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.
I'm just calling her Sarah Boone right now, so you'll

(06:12):
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

(06:33):
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,

(06:55):
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.
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

(07:16):
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

(07:36):
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.

(07:59):
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

(08:19):
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

(08:40):
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

(09:00):
isn't someone to dress up or wear a lot of
makeup either. She preferred a very natural face on the daily.
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

(09:22):
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

(09:43):
was that Sarah was just unreliable and honestly, she comes
across as not being motivated to better her life either.
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

(10:05):
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

(10:27):
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

(10:49):
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

(11:11):
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
mean cigarettes too. I'm not talking about anything else. But
they just, you know, bonded over the fact that their exes.

(11:33):
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,

(11:54):
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

(12:16):
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

(12:38):
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
her until she could get on her feet. But the

(12:58):
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

(13:21):
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

(13:42):
was very small. He was a cute little guy though.
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

(14:03):
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

(14:23):
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

(14:47):
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.
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,

(15:10):
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

(15:32):
not sure if that's right, but I'm pretty sure her
name is Victoria. And George had been married twice before.
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

(15:52):
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

(16:14):
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.
So the townhome that Sarah and George shared was in
a very populated living community with units that connected together,

(16:37):
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

(17:00):
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.
And the town home that Sarah and George had shared

(17:22):
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

(17:42):
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.
But they didn't hate one another. It's just that their

(18:02):
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

(18:23):
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,

(18:44):
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

(19:05):
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

(19:26):
can tell you about it was when Vincent said one
time he went out smoking and Sarah just started talking
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

(19:49):
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

(20:11):
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,

(20:53):
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

(21:39):
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,

(22:01):
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

(22:21):
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,

(22:44):
I mean, she did have something going on that looked
like they had been in a fight. When the police
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

(23:04):
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

(23:25):
she's just angered and lashing out with what she's saying.
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

(23:48):
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

(24:13):
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,

(24:36):
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.
Now I want you to know, he starts crying in
the car. He's very upset about being arrested. There's not

(24:57):
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

(25:17):
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.
You know I'm just doing my job. No, thank you,

(25:38):
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

(26:00):
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.

Speaker 2 (26:15):
It up to.

Speaker 1 (26:16):
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?
We keep having these problems, and George says, she texted me,

(26:39):
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

(27:00):
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

(27:20):
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

(27:42):
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.
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

(28:04):
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,

(28:26):
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

(28:46):
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

(29:07):
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

(29:50):
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

(30:10):
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,

(30:31):
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

(30:54):
boyfriend dead. So, but suffocation and aneurism seem don't Those
seem just kind of weird things to say.

Speaker 2 (30:59):
I do.

Speaker 1 (31:00):
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

(31:22):
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

(31:45):
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

(32:08):
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.
That's kind of strange. So Brian Boone starts explaining to

(32:31):
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,

(32:52):
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.
So Brian said, I said, I'm on my way, and
he flew over there to try to help Sarah. So

(33:16):
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.

(33:37):
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,

(34:00):
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

(34:21):
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
I went and hid in the shower for a little while,

(34:41):
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

(35:03):
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,

(35:25):
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

(36:10):
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

(36:33):
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

(36:54):
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

(37:17):
cell phone that would go really in depth. So now
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

(37:39):
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

(38:00):
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

(38:21):
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

(38:41):
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
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,

(39:06):
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

(39:28):
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.
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

(39:50):
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

(40:11):
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

(40:33):
of liquid valuum necessarily, so I did. I was curious.
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,

(40:56):
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

(41:19):
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

(41:40):
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,

(42:01):
oh damn, you know the family didn't like you enough
that they gave you a name, the blue eyed White Dragon.
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

(42:25):
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

(42:47):
just so stressed out. His ex wife was all over him.
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

(43:09):
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,

(43:29):
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

(43:50):
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

(44:11):
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,
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

(44:31):
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

(44:52):
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.
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

(45:14):
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

(45:34):
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

(45:56):
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.
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

(46:19):
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

(46:39):
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.
And she said he told me called my when one

(47:00):
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

(47:22):
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

(47:44):
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.
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

(48:05):
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

(48:26):
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

(48:48):
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

(49:32):
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

(49:53):
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

(50:16):
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

(50:38):
three nine at autopsy. Now, remember he's one hundred and
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

(51:00):
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

(51:21):
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

(51:42):
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

(52:04):
started losing oxygen, this would have brought about mounting issues
for him. The average person, y'all, with no medical issues,
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

(52:24):
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

(52:48):
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.
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

(53:11):
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

(53:32):
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.
This was ruled as a homicide because there was evidence,

(53:52):
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

(54:16):
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

(54:37):
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

(54:58):
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

(55:44):
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,

(56:06):
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

(56:27):
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

(57:09):
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

(57:30):
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

(57:54):
when she says, oh, well, he hit me with a
curtain rod about a month ago and I got an injury.
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,

(58:15):
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,

(58:36):
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

(58:58):
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

(59:18):
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
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.

(59:40):
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

(01:00:03):
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,

(01:00:24):
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.
Why was it even out? And she said, well, we
had cleaned out the house and we were going to

(01:00:44):
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

(01:01:07):
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

(01:01:27):
videos then that we have, and she turns the computer.
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?

Speaker 2 (01:01:48):
You know?

Speaker 1 (01:01:49):
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

(01:02:09):
is just a snippet of it. Go ahead and take
a listen.

Speaker 2 (01:02:12):
Sorrow, that's on you, Sarah. It's on you, Sarah. Real

(01:02:39):
had them. Now you want to give me for it?
Extra h I got it? Really, I can't believe that's

(01:03:03):
what sorrow. Yeah, he's trying to shut the buck, got.

Speaker 1 (01:03:19):
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,

(01:03:43):
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.
All you see is the top of it, pushing up

(01:04:03):
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

(01:04:24):
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

(01:04:45):
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.
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

(01:05:05):
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

(01:05:27):
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.

(01:05:51):
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

(01:06:11):
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

(01:06:32):
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.
It's just it's unbelievable. And she goes, well, everyone knows
what I've done for George, and I make him happier

(01:06:53):
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

(01:07:14):
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

(01:07:36):
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

(01:07:56):
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

(01:08:18):
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,

(01:08:40):
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

(01:09:01):
to me. She says, I'm gonna be staying at my
ex's house until all of this blows over. Blows over.
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

(01:09:23):
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

(01:09:45):
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.

(01:10:06):
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,

(01:10:30):
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,

(01:10:51):
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.
One woman's gonna come up with.
