She revealed that that she decided to assassinate her children after hearing an Amber Alert for them. She said she killed the children so that they would be safe in heaven.
The kids’ bodies were found in the back of a car five hours after authorities hand out an Amber Alert subsequent to their abduction from their grandparents’ home. Authorities said that the kids were supposed to be in great danger.
But the suspect said that the Amber Alert did not protect their lives, but did just the opposite. She said that she was terrified and killed her kids. She has a third child that she left behind.
Amber Pasztor also said that she shot her neighbour, Frank Macomber and took his car. She said she agreed to have sex with him in a wooded area and then shot him with his own gun and discarded the gun in a Michigan river.
Prosecutors are looking for a life sentence without bail for Amber Pasztor. Her father said that all he want to say to his daughter who did this, that she is not his daughter any longer and he want her to burn. Her mother has said that she was not surprised to learn of the charges against her daughter, whom she labeled as criminal.
Amber’s parents said that they thought she was crazy and had lost custody of her two children more than a year ago due to drug addiction.
