Hope she accepted Christ before it was over.

And what good would that do? Would Christ forgive her and allow her into Heaven? Would she spend a few hundred years in Purgatory then be allowed in? Would she have some sort of peace knowing she was going to burn for eternity in Hell?

All those who truly repent are indeed forgiven. Even Hitler could have been forgiven had he repented.

It was a pretty horrible crime, to be certain.

I’m reminded of three famous murderers in the Bible. The last two did it by proxy(proxies).

Moses
King David
the Apostle Paul

Perhaps someone can answer it better than I. I’m certain that there is no eternal hope outside the Savior. For any of us.

Would Christ forgive her and allow her into Heaven?

Three examples from scripture.

Saul, later named Paul, went around killing Christians. God reached out to him on the Damascas road while he was still very much a murderous sinner. God used him to write much of the New Testament.

King David impregnated Uriah’s wife while Uriah was away in the army. David couldn’t get Uriah to sleep with his wife to cover up his sin. So David sent Uriah to the front lines of battle and had the army withdraw leaving Uriah alone where he was killed. God sends the prophet Nathan to confront David with his sin. David repents. Two chapters later, God has so completely forgiven David that God calls David “a man after my own heart”. There were consequences to David’s sin. But God did forgive David.

In the book of Jonah, Ninevah was a very wicked city. And everybody knew it. God sent Jonah to preach repentance and God’s mercy to Ninevah. Ninevah was so wicked Jonah didn’t want to go. After a little devine convincing, Jonah went and preached. Ninevah repented. Jonah got mad because he thought Ninevah deserved to be destroyed. And God rebuked Jonah for his failure to love.

If she accepted Christ, then yes, she’d be welcomed into heaven. Salvation is not based upon behavior.
