FORT WAYNE, Ind. — Two Indiana children who police believe were abducted in Fort Wayne Monday afternoon were found dead in a vehicle outside the Elkhart Police Department parking garage later that night, according to WXIN.
A statewide Amber Alert was issued for Liliana Hernandez, 7, and Rene Pasztor, 6, just after noon. Police said the children were last seen at 6:21 a.m. in Fort Wayne and were believed to be in extreme danger.
The Allen County Sheriff believed the children were likely abducted by their non-custodial mother, 29-year-old Amber Pasztor. Police described her as 5 feet 6 inches tall, 250 pounds, with long blonde hair. Authorities said she may have been traveling with Frank Macomber, 65.
Police were also searching for a tan or silver 1999 Mercury Mystique with the license plate 982MJS.
The alert was canceled around 7 p.m. after police said the kids had been located. A few hours later, officers announced that the children had been found dead inside a vehicle.
WXIN reports that an officer who was walking out of the Elkhart Police Department was stopped by Pasztor, who said two kids were deceased in the backseat of the Mystique she was driving.
Pasztor was arrested for two counts of murder and taken to the Elkhart County Correctional Facility.
Police are still searching for Frank Macomber.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Allen County Sheriff at 260-449-7661.
