The Tinder Trap: The Murder of Sydney Loofe – Aubrey Trail & Bailey Boswell
About this episode
The episode explores the tragic murder of Sydney Loofe, who was lured to her death by a Tinder match and her accomplice.
On November 15, 2017, 24-year-old Sydney Loofe left her Lincoln apartment excited for a second Tinder date. She posted a Snapchat: “Ready for my date.” She never came home.The woman she matched with was Bailey Boswell . Sydney didn’t know Boswell lived with older boyfriend Aubrey Trail — a career criminal prosecutors said was already looking for someone to kill. Boswell lured Sydney to a basement apartment in Wilber. There she was strangled with an extension cord, cut into 14 pieces, stuffed into trash bags, and dumped along rural roads. For three weeks her family and the FBI searched. Then the bags were found. Store video showed Trail and Boswell buying saws and bleach while Sydney was still alive. Trail was sentenced to death. Boswell got life. In 2024 her conviction was upheld. Sydney just wanted a second date. What she walked into was a trap set before they ever matched.
