New Jersey prosecutors release suicide notes from Stephanie Parze’s ex-boyfriend: ‘I can’t do life in prison’
John D. Ozbilgen, 29, was found dead in his Freehold Township residence on Nov. 22, just two days after he was released from jail on a child pornography charge that was brought against him after police searched his home in connection with the Oct. 30 disappearance of Stephanie Parze. “That guilt belongs to John Ozbilgen and John Ozbilgen alone,” he said.
On Monday, prosecutors released two suicide notes written by Ozbilgen in which he appears to take responsibility.
“Sorry about all this crazyness [sic], I’ve been miserable for so long now, I had enough,” Osbilgen wrote in a note addressed to his family. “Thanks for everything, I can’t do life in prison. Most of the stuff you will hear is true, exept [sic] the child porn, I would never do that.”

“This is the only choice,” he wrote before signing the note with a smiley face.
In a second note, Ozbilgen appeared to address an unidentified ex-girlfriend and even made reference to Parze without naming her.
“I love you so much little lady,” he wrote. “I don’t know what I was thinking when I f—ed our relationship up. You were the best thing that happened to me.”

Ozbilgen also spoke about Parze in his note to the ex-girlfriend, writing that “The girl in the news with me was such a piece of s—.”
He continued: ‘She hurt me over and over, when I was already @ my lowest, she was a horrible person.”
Ozbilgen was never formally charged in Parze’s death.
The two had a short but toxic relationship. Parze filed a simple assault domestic violence complaint against Ozbilgen for a Sept. 23 incident where he was accused of striking her in the head.
