Todt Family Murders

Sarah Boone, 47, was sentenced to life in prison on December 2, 2024, for the second-degree murder of her boyfriend Jorge Torres Jr., who suffocated to death after Boone zipped him into a suitcase at their Winter Park, Florida home in February 2020.

HBO's The Mortician, a three-part documentary series premiering June 1, 2025, exposes the criminal operations at Lamb Funeral Home in Pasadena, California during the early 1980s, when family member David Sconce orchestrated mass cremations, organ harvesting, and alleged murder conspiracies.

When HBO's The Jinx premiered on February 8, 2015, few expected the documentary series about New York real estate heir Robert Durst would culminate in his arrest just hours before the finale aired. The six-part investigation, directed by Andrew Jarecki and produced by Marc Smerling, would ultimately help solve a two-decade-old murder and reshape how true crime documentaries intersect with active criminal investigations.

In late December 2019, Anthony Todt murdered his entire family in their Celebration, Florida home near Walt Disney World. The bodies of his wife Megan, sons Alek and Tyler, daughter Zoe, and their dog were discovered during a police raid linked to federal fraud charges.
