FORT WAYNE, Ind. -- The lawyer for a mother accused of killing her two children and a neighbor after an Amber Alert back in September has filed a motion to use the insanity defense.
An Amber Alert was issued for Liliana Hernandez, 7 and Rene Pasztor, 6, after the children went missing on September 26.
Elkhart Police say an officer who was leaving the Elkhart Police Department was stopped by the children's mother, Amber Pasztor, who was driving the vehicle involved in the Amber Alert.

Pasztor told the officer that she had two dead people in the vehicle with her. Officers found two children dead in the back of the car. The Elkhart County coroner says the two died from asphyxiation.
Pasztor was charged with two counts of murder.
The body of Pasztor's neighbor, Frank Macomber, 66, was found the next day. Pasztor also admitted to killing him.
The Elkhart Prosecutor's Office said last month that they plan to seek life without parole in the case.
