Dating App Murder Suspect Cuts Own Throat in Crazy Courtroom Outburst
A Nebraska man accused of fatally strangling a 24-year-old woman after wooing her through an online dating app with his girlfriend stunned the courtroom when he cut his own throat “several times” during his murder trial on Monday.
“Bailey is innocent, and I curse you all,” Aubrey Trail yelled in Saline County court on Monday, before reportedly slashing the right side of his neck. It was not immediately clear what Trail used to cut himself.
Trail, 51, is on trial for the first-degree murder of Sydney Loofe, who went missing for 19 days after a Tinder date. Her body was finally found in December 2017 in garbage bags scattered among ditches and farm fields in rural Nebraska. Prosecutors allege Trail conspired for weeks to lure Loofe to her death with the help of his 24-year-old girlfriend, Bailey Boswell.
