Beck confessed inside the back of the trooper's vehicle, saying he wanted to turn himself in.

"While I was choking her, I thought, 'I need to let her go or she's not going to be able to breathe,'" Beck said. "Why did I ever choose to do anything bad? I'm sorry, sir. Why did I ever choose to do anything bad?"
