Tinder date killed and chopped up in sexual fantasy gone wrong after posting "ready for my date" Snapchat selfie

A woman was killed and then chopped up in a sexual fantasy gone wrong after she went on a date with a women she met on Tinder.

Sydney Loofe, 24, met Bailey Boswell, 23, on Tinder. Weeks after meeting on the app, Loofe, from Lincoln, went out with Boswell on November 15. Before the date, Loofe posted a selfie on Snapchat saying, "ready for my date". She was never seen again after that day.

When she didn't turn up at work the following day, her mum reported her as missing, sparking a huge manhunt and appeal on social media.

Cops found her mobile phone 40 miles away from her apartment, and the following month her dismemeberd remains were found dumped in a field near Edgar, Nebraska.

Following investigation, it was alleged that Bailey Boswell, 23, and boyfriend Aubrey Trail, 51, lured Loofe on a date.

Court documents claim Trail initially told told police he strangled Loofe with an extension cord that night and Boswell, who lived with him, helped chop her up.

Saline County Court heard the pair were caught on CCTV buying tools which police believe they used to dismember Loofe. Investigators say the pair were filmed making the purchases at a Home Depot on November 15, while cashier Miss Loofe, of Nebraska, was at work.

Trail and Boswell appeared in court on Tuesday to face charges of first-degree murder and the improper disposal of human skeletal remains.

Since the pair were arrested weeks in the wake of Miss Loofe's disappearance, Trail has told several news outlets that her death was accidental. During an interview with the Omaha World-Herald Trail in February, Trail said that Miss Loofe was a willing participant in a sexual fantasy with himself and two other women.

He claimed his girlfriend, Boswell, was high on drugs in another room when her date accidentally suffocated during the sex act, adding that there had been something around her neck.

Trail told the outlet: "It wasn't supposed to go to the extreme it went, of course not. It wasn't meant that she was to die."

He added that he deserved to die for what he had done, but a month before the confession both Trail and Boswell posted a video online denying their involvement.
