In February 2020, Sarah Boone zipped her boyfriend, Jorge Torres Jr., into a suitcase during what she claimed was a drunken game of hide-and-seek. She then filmed him as he suffocated, taunting him and ignoring his pleas for help. The videos she recorded on her own phone became the centerpiece of a bizarre four-year legal saga that included 13 attorneys, a viral ad for legal help, and a defendant who smiled through her own sentencing. This is the story of a toxic relationship that ended in a chilling murder, captured on camera by the killer herself.

In 1955, Ruth Ellis shot and killed her abusive lover David Blakely outside a London pub. At trial, she showed no remorse and admitted she intended to kill him. The jury took 14 minutes to convict her. On July 13, 1955, Ruth became the last woman executed in the UK. Her story is one of domestic abuse, desperation, and a legal system that failed her. Her execution sparked outrage and helped abolish capital punishment in Britain.
