ELKHART, Ind. (AP) — Police in northern Indiana have found the body of an older man who they believe may have been in the company of a woman recently arrested in the deaths of her two children.

Capt. Steve Stone of the Allen County Sheriff’s Department says officers were searching for 65-year-old Frank Macomber when they found the body early Tuesday in woods on Fort Wayne’s northeast side. Macomber lived in the same area. An autopsy is planned Tuesday.

Stone says authorities believe Macomber had spent some time with 29-year-old Amber Pasztor who was arrested in the deaths of her son and daughter on Monday. Pasztor did not have custody of the children and police believe she abducted them from Fort Wayne early Monday. Their bodies were found in her car in Elkhart, 70 miles away. She awaits formal charges.
