Both Trail and Boswell are on trial for the murder of Sydney Loofe, a 24-year-old woman who the couple are believed to have met on Tinder. Loofe was last seen on November 15, 2017 – the same day she had arranged to meet the couple.
Taney County SheriffSF Gate reported that Trail’s attorney Joe Murray said the pair accidentally killed Loofe as all three of them engaged in a consensual sexual fantasy. However, prosecutors say the couple killed her then ‘used a hacksaw and wire snips to dismember and dispose of her body.’
The 24-year-old’s remains were found in rubbish bags in rural Nebraska according to KOLN.
According to KEVT, the trial will continue on 9am on Tuesday, and Trail will be in handcuffs for the remainder of said trial.
