An Oregon woman told police she strangled her boyfriend because she was curious about how it would feel like to kill someone. Lindsay Haugen, 32, also told police her 25-year-old victim Robert Mast wanted to die.

She pleaded guilty to murder on Monday at Yellowstone County District Court and is expected to serve 65 years after making a plea agreement. Haugen, who began dating Mast in August after meeting him in Washington state, was on a road trip with him to North Dakota when they decided to stop in Billings, according to court documents.

There, they drank so much wine and ate so much pizza that they needed to lie down outside her car in a Wal-Mart parking lot. Haugen said when she and Mast got back in the car, he told her he wanted to die, according to the documents. She told officers she got behind Mast in their vehicle, put her arm around his neck to choke him and held his mouth and nose shut. She added they had both been drinking wine. Police found out that Haugen had 10 years of military experience.
