A woman who strangled her boyfriend and was featured in Netflix’s “I Am a Killer” series for the 2015 crime walked back a chilling confession that was included on the show, as she asked a Montana parole board for clemency Wednesday.

Lindsay Haugen, 41, pleaded guilty to strangling her 25-year-old boyfriend, Robert Mast, while the two of them sat in a car in a Walmart parking lot in 2015. She has been serving a 60-year sentence for deliberate homicide since 2016.

On the second season of “I Am a Killer,” a true-crime series on Netflix that spotlights convicted murderers, Haugen said she killed Mast — whom she had known for less than a month — out of love after she said he insisted he wanted to die.

“I saw my opportunity, I guess,” Haugen told the detective, according to the video.
