The Sheriff's Office said Boone gave the deputies written and verbal consent to search her phone.
They retrieved two videos, one of which showed the suitcase facing down with Torrez Jr. inside pushing in an attempt to get out.
According to court records, he can be heard yelling Boone's name from inside, saying he cannot breathe.
"I can't f**king breathe, seriously."
Boone sounded like she was laughing and taunting him in response, saying:
"Yeah that's what you do when you choke me."

In another video, Torrez Jr. continues pleading to be let out, and Boone mocks him, saying:
"That's on you. Oh, that's what I feel like when you cheat on me."
"You should probably shut the f'k up."

Deputies decided to arrest Boone after she gave "inconsistencies" in her statement in addition to the obtained video footage.
They wrote in a statement:
"Jorge begged Sarah repeatedly telling her he could not breathe and Sarah left him in the suitcase."
"[This] therefore proves the unlawful killing of Jorge by Sarah's actions that were imminently dangerous and demonstrated a depraved mind without regard for Jorge's life."
