Thirty-year-old Amber Pasztor of Fort Wayne was sentenced Thursday in Elkhart County for the deaths of 7-year-old Lilliana Hernandez and 6-year-old Rene Pasztor.
She pleaded guilty but mentally ill to two murder counts in a plea agreement calling for a 130-year sentence, according to ABC57 in South Bend.

Pasztor abducted her children Sept. 26 from their custodial grandparents' home, prompting an Amber Alert. Their bodies were found the same day inside a stolen car parked behind the Elkhart Police Department, about 70 miles northwest of Fort Wayne.
Pasztor is also charged in the September shooting death of a former neighbor, 66-year-old Frank Macomber. Her children's bodies were found inside his stolen car.
