A woman sentenced to 60 years behind bars for strangling her new boyfriend in a Walmart parking lot in Montana said she “wanted to know what it felt like” — after he had asked her to kill him because of his crippling depression, according to a report.
Lindsay Haugen, 32, and Robert Mast, 25, were traveling from Olympia, Washington, to North Dakota in 2015 when they stopped in Billings, Montana, where she got behind him in their car and choked him as she held his mouth and nose shut.
She told investigators that she killed him “because he asked me to” as he struggled to battle his depression — but added that she wanted to “know what it felt like to kill someone with my bare hands,” according to the UK’s Mirror.
“My last fiance broke my hand, then he got behind me, just like I did to Robby, and choked me,” she said. “I woke up on the floor and it was like I was underwater and I just wanted to do that back — but he wanted it to happen.”
Police also learned that Mast had been talking about his ex-girlfriend to Hauger before his murder, something she admitted she was jealous about.
In 2016, Haugen pleaded guilty to the crime, which is featured in a new episode of the Netflix series “I Am A Killer” to be shown on the UK’s Crime+Investigation on Tuesday.
“I remember, one morning he woke up and just said, ‘Have you ever been disappointed that you woke up and you’re still alive?’” said Haugen, now 36. “I just remember how upset he looked.”
