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.

She told WANE she "didn't have the heart" to shoot them, so she smothered them instead. (...) They made the "choice," she said, but still they fought back as she smothered them.

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.
