A trial date has been set for a Florida woman accused of leaving her boyfriend to die after placing him in a bag in their home in October following a hearing last Friday.

The trial is scheduled for October 7 during a hearing for Sarah Boone in state court in Orlando, nearly four years after her arrest. Boone, 46 years old, faces a second-degree murder charge.

Boone initially told investigators with the Orange County Sheriff's Office that she and her boyfriend, Jorge Torres, were playing hide and seek in the residence they shared in Winter Park, Florida, when they thought it would be funny for Torres to get into the bag.

According to the arrest report, Boone claimed they were drinking and she decided to go to bed, believing Torres could get out of the bag on his own, she told investigators. When she woke up the next morning, she did not find Torres but then remembered that he was in the bag. She unzipped the bag and found him unresponsive.

Investigators charged Boone with murder after finding videos on her cell phone showing Torres yelling that he couldn't breathe in the bag and calling Boone's name.

The arrest report added, "Yes, this is what you do when you choke me," Boone responds in one of the videos, according to the report. "Oh, this is how I feel when you trick me."

The autopsy report explained that Torres had scratches on his back and neck, bruises on his shoulder, skull, and forehead from blunt force trauma, as well as a wound near his broken lip.
