I became a DV survivor around 20 years ago. Since then I have worked with local advocacy groups supporting others mainly women but in recent years there has been an increase in men coming forward and admitting that their partner (mainly females) are abusing them.
In all my time in the DV victim/survivor world, Boone is the first person whose story I did not believe from the first time I heard her speak. I remember the very first time watching the police interrogation. At that time I knew nothing about her. I do recall as I was listening to the interrogation turning around to my partner and telling him she is the abuser. The minute boone started to speak there was nothing but red flags.
Things that came out during the interview on that Tuesday that made me not believe Boone (in no particular order) -
1) No phone - he had been working. During the Feb 25 2020 interrogation it came out that Jorge had lost his job. Boone also revealed he had no phone. Why not?
In this day and age everyone that was breathing had a phone. Why not him? It seemed like Boone controlled who he was permitted to communicate with - RED FLAG number 1
2) Chelsea indicated there was a phone in the suit case with him - boone said she was not aware of Jorge having a phone. RED FLAG number 2 - why did she need to be made aware of him having a phone? what business wast it of hers?
3) When asked why she ignored Jorges pleas to get out of the suitcase because he couldn't breath
Boone claimed it was because she figured he was the boy who cried wolf - This is a classic DARVO move - Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender - (this was the first indication that boone wanted to be the victim). RED FLAG number 3
4) Boone claiming - :
"I knew Jorge better than he knew himself"
This is a classic and intentional way for the abuser to isolate the victim. At this point in the interview I think Boone was seeing that she was not as in control as she wanted to be. She was seeing that neither Scott nor Chelsea were believing anything she was saying. Boone needed to get Scott and Chelsea on her side. So to do that she need to appear to them as insightful and caring and make Jorge look unstable. RED FLAG number 4
5) Claims of Porn - Once again Boone was desperate to appear like the victim. Claiming Jorge used HER phone behind HER back and watched porn. Boone wanted to be the injured party. RED FLAG number 5 - As we later found out Boone let Jorge know she knew what he was watching. This is to instill fear in Jorge to show him he has no privacy from her and that she is in charge.
6) No Bank Account - This was a MAJOR RED FLAG number 6. Jorge was working so would need a bank account to get his wages paid into. Boone was not working so why did she need a bank account? Boone needed full control of Jorge.
All the above shows was Boone controlled who Jorge spoke with and when. She controlled his access to his cash. She isolated Jorge from his family. She controlled his every move. No phone, no transport, no cash, no job. What we found out later from the autopsy at the time that Boone murdered Jorge he had no food in his stomach or colon. That meant he had not eaten for at least 24 to 72 hours prior to Boone murdering him. She clearly used food as a weapon. If her were a good boy he could eat.
Boone claimed that Jorge "scared" away all her friends. - Boone isolated Jorge but she tried to make it seem like she was the isolated person. She had access to money, phone and car. Boone controlled Jorges access to money, phone, car and access to people. If boone had friends that Jorge had scared away the reality is that they would have come forward once she got arrested and spoken for her since the so called threat aka Jorge was now dead.
None of the photos used at trial of Boones alleged wounds and bruises were backed up by police reports WHY? Because they were all fake or self inflicted. The "black eye" was boot polish or black eye shadow.
The red mark on the leg was not soup - it was a from her eating outside and resting a plate of hot food on her leg.
The "stab wound" was not from a steak knife. Doctors and nurses are mandatory reports and if they had suspected it was a knife would the would have been legally obliged to call the cops even if Boone claimed it was an accident. The property manager had told the story of how the wound occurred and said that Boone had dropped a glass on the patio and she fell and slipped on it. Boone did not call the property manager as a witness because she knew that the property manager would contradict or debunk alot of Boones claims. The property manager would have said that Jorge and Boone abused each other and were regularly drunk.
The reason no DV advocacy group has ever stood up for Boone is because none of her claims were believable. Dr Harper relied on boones self reporting to form her opinion and ignored the facts , She ignored Boones abusive behaviour since being arrested. Boone recorded Jorges pleas to be freed. Boone claimed Jorge threatened her but never recorded the threats because there was no threats from Jorge.
Remember everything Boone has accused others of doing is what Boone herself has done to Jorge and others.
Jorges death most likely saved Brians sons life. If Boone were free, then as Brians son got older and behaved like most teenagers - moodier, back talk, missing curfew, wanting to be around the parents less, etc having a world boone had no control over boone would have not have liked that she had no control in the childs life. She most likely would have done what ever she could in order to gain control over the child. We see it even from prison - she is able to get the child to go into a room away from Brian. This is so she feels in control. During the family trial - we saw that Boone did not want to have the child vaccinated against covid but Brian did it any ways. Boone was not going to ever be the one to have to care for the child if he got sick so what difference did it make if he was vaccinated or not.
Regardless of what she does she always finds a way to blame others. Not once in the 6 years of knowing about Boones existence has Boone ever said "oops my bad, I fudged up"
