Summary
A new three-part Hulu series, “Swipe Right on the Devil,” revisits the 2017 murder of 24-year-old Nebraska store clerk Sydney Loofe and includes recordings of death-row inmate Aubrey Trail.
Trail, now 60, is shown or quoted describing Loofe as the “wrong person” to kill; filmmakers and trial testimony say he and Bailey Boswell linked murder to gaining occult “powers.”
Loofe disappeared after a second Tinder date with Boswell, who used the alias “Audrey,” and investigators traced the pair through phone data, hotel surveillance and a tip from Loofe’s friend who created a Tinder profile to identify her date.
Prosecutors said Trail strangled Loofe with an electrical cord, dismembered her body into 14 pieces and dumped the remains in rural Nebraska; Trail was sentenced to death in 2021, while Boswell received life without parole.
