 FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) The Fort Wayne mother accused of killing her two children in the backseat of a stolen car in late September said she was spurred to action when she heard the Amber Alert issued to find her on the radio. “That’s when I went straight to Elkhart and that’s when I killed my kids,” said Pasztor. When asked why the Amber Alert was the impetus to smother her children Pasztor replied, “because I knew the police was gonna get us. And with me behind bars and my kids out here with all my problems; no. Sorry. No. I’m not that selfish. I’m not a coward.” 
 
 Pasztor refused to offer details, but claimed she felt someone was going to harm her kids. She believed the only solution was to usher them on to heaven. She told NewsChannel 15 she didn’t have the heart to shoot them, so she smothered them. 
 
 In an exclusive interview with NewsChannel 15’s Brett Thomas over video chat from the Elkhart County Jail on Monday, Amber Pasztor admitted to smothering her two children to death, one by one. Pasztor faces two charges of murder in Elkhart County for the deaths of 6-year-old Rene Pasztor and 7-year-old Liliana Hernandez – charges she said unequivocally she is guilty of. 
 
 With a phone to her ear and speaking matter-of-factly, Pasztor told NewsChannel 15 how she pushed in the door of the home of her father, the legal guardian of the children, grabbed the children and put them into a stolen car, and just started driving. Pasztor said she was driving aimlessley when she received word that an Amber Alert had been issued. 
 
 “They were in good hands but I don’t think they were safe,” Pasztor said. “My kids are in a better place … they’re in heaven now. They don’t have no worries no more.” 
 
 Pasztor also admitted to fatally shooting her neighbor, 66-year-old Frank Macomber, in a ditch off Wallen Road in Fort Wayne. Pasztor has not been charged with Macomber’s death. 
 
 Pasztor said she made the plan days beforehand, when she arranged to go camping with him and have sex with him. In a wooded area off Wallen Road, then, Pasztor said she shot Macomber with his own gun once, killing him, then took his car. She said she dumped the gun in a Michigan river. ||||| Amber Pasztor, the woman who killed her two children after abducting them from their grandparents house last Monday, was scheduled for a hearing the day she killed her children. 
 
 WANE reports that Amber Pasztor was charged with criminal trespassing back in late July. On August 1, she was found guilty of the criminal trespassing charges and was sentenced to one year in jail. 
 
 When Pasztor was able to get the sentence changed, she ended up spending no time in jail, and instead was ordered to stay away from the residence and complete 20 hours of community service. 
 
 At the beginning of this month, Pasztor was said to be non-compliant with her sentence and was ordered back to court, which was scheduled for the day she kidnapped her two children, Liliana Hernandez and Rene Pasztor. 
 
 Further, WANE revealed that shocking information has been found in regards to Liliana’s and Rene’s father, Rene Hernandez. Back in 2010, Rene Hernandez’s bisected body was located in a wooded area. According to the Whitley County Sheriff’s Office, the crime was never solved. 
 
 The Whitley County Sheriff’s Office did say they spoke with Amber Pasztor after his body was discovered, and at the time she had one child with Hernandez and was pregnant with another, the same children allegedly abducted and killed by Amber just last week.

 Whitley County Sheriff Marcus Gatton told reporters that Amber was never connected to Rene Hernandez’s death, but said it is likely they will be revisiting this case, Kokomo Tribune reports. 
 
 “I’m sure we will be visiting her again.” 
 
 Many are questioning whether Amber Pasztor is a female serial killer. When Amber abducted her children, she was with a neighbor, Frank Macomber, and was driving his car. 
 
 Frank was reported missing that day and the amber alert went out for the children. Police eventually found Frank’s body the following day in a wooded area. Reports revealed that Frank had been shot to death. 
 
 Investigators believe that the two cases are connected and say they think that Frank was killed before the children were kidnapped. 
 
 Michelle Troye, Frank’s daughter, knew that something was very wrong when he went missing that day. She was convinced that not only would her father not be connected to the kidnapping, but that he was in grave danger. 
 
 “I am 100 percent certain that he is not involved in this situation because he wouldn’t hurt anybody, especially children.” 
 
 Frank and Amber had some sort of relationship and were neighbors, but the type of relationship between the two was unknown. Frank would sometimes help Amber, whether it was giving her cash or giving her rides. Troye was very non-accepting of her father’s relationship with Amber. 
 
 “We were very persistent and telling him we do not want her around you, you do not need to have her around you, she is not right. He did not listen.” 
 
 Troye kept hope that maybe her father would return home and be just fine, but all her hopes faded when she found out that the two children were found dead. 
 
 “If those kids were alive, maybe she changed her mind about hurting anybody and there was still hope for my dad, but after hearing that, I lost all hope.” 
 
 According to State Laws, there is no statute of limitation for murder in the state of Indiana. A murder case in the state of Indiana can be re-opened at any time, as many times as they feel necessary. Should they find it likely to re-open Rene Hernandez’s murder case, investigators have made it clear that they will likely be in contact with Amber Pasztor. 
 
 Will Amber Pasztor be the next serial killer recognized in the state of Indiana? Only time will tell. Updates will be provided as they become available.

 She asked the children if they wanted to live or if they wanted to go to heaven. 
 
 Amber Pasztor had already decided she was going to kill her children. But she asked them what they wanted, she said. 
 
 "I gave them a choice," she said in an interview with Fort Wayne television station WANE. "That they could live, traumatized like their mom, or they can go to heaven with God and be better off." 
 
 She smothered her daughter first, she said. Then her son. 
 
 "He wanted to go with her," she said. 
 
 Pasztor, the mother at the center of a September Amber Alert, detailed the day she abducted and killed her two young children during the interview via a jail telephone with WANE reporter Brett Thomas. 
 
 Pasztor, 29, admitted to smothering and killing her two children, 7-year-old Liliana Hernandez and 6-year-old Rene Pastzor, after abducting them from a Fort Wayne residence Sept. 26. She later drove a stolen car to the Elkhart Police Department, where she flagged down an officer and told him her children were dead in the back seat. 
 
 She said she was in Michigan when she first heard the Amber Alert had been issued, she said in the interview. That's when she made the decision to kill her children. 
 
 She told WANE she "didn't have the heart" to shoot them, so she smothered them instead. She previously revealed to Elkhart police how she used her hands to smother them, demonstrating how she covered their mouths and noses until they stopped breathing. 
 
 They made the "choice," she said, but still they fought back as she smothered them. 
 
 The children died of asphyxiation, according to the Elkhart County coroner, and their deaths were ruled homicides. Pasztor faces two charges of murder. 
 
 In the interview, she revealed how she pushed open the door of her father's home, took the children and started driving in the car she had stolen from her neighbor, Frank Macomber. 
 
 Macomber, 65, was found fatally shot in a wooded area in Fort Wayne the day after Pasztor was arrested. She admitted to WANE that she also had killed him, but she has not been charged in connection with his death. 
 
 Pasztor told WANE she had come up with the plan days before, when she planned to go camping and have sex with Macomber. She admitted to shooting him once with his own gun before stealing his car. She said she got rid of the gun in a river in Michigan. 
 
 Pasztor told WANE she killed her children to keep them safe. 
 
 “They were in good hands, but I don’t think they were safe,” she said. “My kids are in a better place ... they’re in heaven now. They don’t have no worries no more.”

– An Indiana mother accused of killing her two children in late September says it was the Amber Alert that led her to murder them. Amber Pasztor, whose father was the children's legal guardian, tells WANE she pushed in the door at her father's house in Fort Wayne on Sept. 26, took 6-year-old Rene Pasztor and 7-year-old Liliana Hernandez, and drove them off in a stolen car. She was in Michigan when she learned an Amber Alert had been issued for the children, and that was the point at which she decided to murder them, she says. "I gave them a choice," she said, per the Indianapolis Star. "That they could live, traumatized like their mom, or they can go to heaven with God and be better off." Though Pasztor claims the children made the choice, she says they still struggled as she smothered them; first Liliana, then Rene. "They were in good hands but I don’t think they were safe," she tells WANE. "My kids are in a better place … they’re in heaven now. They don’t have no worries no more." She says she smothered them because she couldn't bring herself to shoot them. She did, however, admit to shooting and killing her 66-year-old neighbor, Frank Macomber, the man whose car she allegedly stole and used to take her children. She has not yet been charged in his death, but is charged with two counts of murder for Rene and Liliana. Pasztor was due in court on a prior criminal trespassing charge the day she allegedly kidnapped her children, the Inquisitr reports. The children's father was murdered in 2010 in a case that remains unsolved.
