In a shocking turn of events on Saturday, police dropped the charges against Antonia Cardenas-Rico, and then charged the father of the two children, Elvis Noe-Garcia, with murder. Police said investigators now believe Noe-Garcia stabbed two of his children to death and then stabbed himself.

With his attorney at his side, Cardenas-Rico said he doesn’t blame the police. He also said he believed Noe-Garcia tried to frame him because of jealousy.

Cardenas-Rico walked into the interview with Thomas at the Gwinnett County Jail in handcuffs. He said he wasn’t worried as much about being arrested as what’s to come when he gets out of jail.

“I don’t know if (my children) are going to be scared or come out and look at me like some crazy person when I’m not,” said Cardenas-Rico. “I would never hurt a child. I would never hurt a child.”

Thursday, Gwinnett County police charged Cardenas-Rico with killing two of his girlfriend’s children and then stabbing a third child and their father at a Lawrenceville home. By Saturday, police changed course and dropped the charges against Cardenas-Rico, and instead saying the children’s father, Noe-Garcia, attacked the children and then stabbed himself.

Thomas asked if he thought Noe-Garcia had planned the stabbings. “Yes, I think he planned everything,” said Cardenas-Rico.

Cardenas-Rico said he believed Noe-Garcia framed him because he was dating Noe-Garcia’s former girlfriend. He said Noe-Garcia had made threats before.

“Why would he do that to his own family, his own kids, his own self,” asked Cardenas-Rico. “Why was he trying to set me up? Why didn’t he let it go?”

While cleared of murder, Cardenas-Rico still has legal problems. He faces a drug charge and admitted he was in the U.S. illegally.

Cardenas-Rico has a wife and two children in Las Vegas. He said he fears he will be deported.

Noe-Garcia has been charged with two counts of murder and assault and being held in the Gwinnett County Jail without bond.
