I just updated this case in the crimes against children's forum, the mom is now facing felony charges of neglect and child endangerment!! I'm so glad to see mother being charged, i wish more caretakers would be charged when they don't protect their children!!

I guess this means we will get to see more detail about the mom's history and parenting choices she made?

Is anybody putting together a timeline of where Plumadore has been over the past 20 years or so? Here is a report from the Miami Herald that adds some dates to the timeline.
http://www.miamiherald.com/2011/12/27/2563190/indiana-man-accused-in-hacksaw.html

"Michael Plumadore, 39, is a former Miami resident and a fugitive wanted in Florida for the past 11 years after violating probation in 2000, according to the Florida Department of Corrections. Plumadore was sentenced to one year of probation after pleading guilty to battery in Miami-Dade Circuit Court in 2000, records show. Plumadore also had a prior arrest in Miami-Dade for auto theft in 1999, records show. An arrest warrant was issued for Plumadore in June 2000, after Plumadore failed to report to his probation officer and failed to attend a court-ordered anger-management class, said Ann Howard, communications director for the Florida Department of Corrections."

Odd question to ask: Does anyone know if Michael L. Plumadore lived near or possibly worked at Fort Bragg, NC? Just asking. I don't have a clue.

You know that these can be incorrect LB, but it's a start.

From Intellius places listed as has lived:

Jupiter, FL
Evansville, IN
Shelby, NC
Grover, NC
Miami, FL

US Search:

Jupiter, FL
Evansville, IN
Shelby, NC
Grover, NC
Miami, FL


Just what I've seen so far.

Wouldn't you think he would have had to have been a RSO when he committed a crime in Florida and put on probation in 2000, if he had been a SO say back in 1997?

Didn't MP have a warrant out for his arrest from Allen County back in 2007 for forgery and auto theft, and wasn't he apprehended on Watauga County, North Carolina late December 2007?

Honestly I don't know. RSO laws are strange. There was a HS PE teacher that taught when I was in HS, here in IL. He currently resides in Elmhurst, IL,. While he resides here in IL, he is listed on Florida's RSO list, but he is NOT listed on the state of IL's registered sex offender list. Could I tell ya why? Not at all as I have no clue.

So, no, I can't explain why MP was required to register in November of 2007 in one state and why he may not have been required to register in another state at the same time.

Not trying to be snarky, just posting an example of what I found when trying to research RSO's.

I've been sleuthin' high and low and ran across a link to AP photos of Tarah the mom. I can't copy them but here's the link. If it's a repeat, my apologies.

If it doesn't come right up, type in "Story Fort Wayne Indiana" it brings up a picture of Tarah and the step grandfather D Story. Tarah is in a wheelchair, crying heavily. Does she live with the step grandfather or Ailahna's step father? Or both? I just haven't even read the step dad's name I don't think nor heard a peep or seen a picture of him.

That's what I thought at first too, but this was in the wee hours and it wouldn't take more than one or two (at the most) strikes to render her unconscious. Probably just one. If you don't see it directly, I doubt there'd be much to hear, sadly.

Has it been discussed here why the two sisters told LE they saw her leave in her coat to go to a party?

When I was 6 and 7 yrs old, my mom had a nasty divorce situation. She asked her younger brother to move in and babysit us after school every day until she came home from work. He began having sex with me and tormenting and frightening me in other ways, just about every afternoon for a couple of years. I never ever told on him. It was not until he died suddenly 20 years later that I had the nerve to tell my mom what happened.

He had me tell my mother and grandparents many lies during that time. He would take us to the movies, and make us tell them we saw the Lipazon Stallion Disney movie when we actually saw Children Of The Corn. I remember waking up with nightmares, and my mom would say what happened, did you watch and scary movie and I would lie right to her face to protect my abusive uncle. I still do not totally understand it, but it is like a mind warp these sick perps have over their victims. He would use the money that mom would give him and then have us lie and say he took us out to eat, when he didn't really feed us, he bought himself something instead. But I would not tell for a few reasons. Sometimes he would threaten to hurt my baby brother, or sometimes he would hold my kitty over the balcony, and threaten to throw her onto the pavement. Other times he would be really sweet and nice and beg us not to tell because he would get in trouble, and in some ways he was really good to us. It is very confusing for a little child.

And that is kind of how I see this guy. I think he was sometimes nice and caring and played with them and had fun with them. That is how my uncle worked it. He paid us special attention and my mom had so much to deal with during the divorce and trying to find a good job and be the mom and dad that she was glad to have a 'nice' family member to step up to the plate the way he did. He baked us birthday cakes and fixed our bicycles and walked us home from school. That is how he become like a snake in the grass.
And that is why Grandma would defend this MP guy. Because he would put on a face of a caring and nurturing guy. Just like my 'favorite' uncle did.

I think we've only seen reports of MP saying that. (I might be wrong!) But I wonder.. six year olds that are in an unconventional situation.. that are used to.. well, lack of stability and routine.. could be told something happened and really believe it happened. I know a family who's somewhat functional, but the 8 yr old is still in anger management since k-garten (youngest diagnosed in our school ever... and I feel it is due to childish parents who are emotionally absent and allow the kids to be raised by grandma. So.. I can see a 6 yr old honestly believing something is true just by being told. Of course... if that's even what the 6yr olds told mom and authorities. So.. PTSD for these young ones, too? WTHeck happened to Aliahna that she had the diagnosis? geez...

Oh my God, katydid23, I feel so sorry for you. That's horrible! Thank God you are alive today--he was not a murderer. Your horrifying experience sure does give us some insight as to how these monsters become snakes in the grass.

Just curious...did your mother believe you when you told her?

 

[sreshowtime]

For clarification:

Dawayne Maroney (lives in Iowa) = Aliahna's bio father

I assume they separated

Lyle Moser (lives in Ft. Wayne)= Father of one of the 6yo sisters

So I assume Lyle was a father to Aliahna as well when he was with her mother

They appear to have separated.

Tarah Souders (the mother) is now with AS, who is the father of the second 6yo that lived with Aliahna.

I have no idea who the fathers of the 2 boys are or their ages.

According to grandfather's obit- there were 3 Siblings- TLS, CL & ALS.
Of the 8 grandchildren listed, Two are CL and two are ALS (info gleaned from public fb)
That leaves 4, 2 of which it appears are with TSL...but I am not certain about the last 2. If they live with TSL or their respective father(s).
As far as the number of children in the home Aliahna was living in, I am guessing it may include all four of these children, plus some of the stepfather AS.
http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/fortwayne/obituary.aspx?n=james-e-lemmon&pid=154914940

I did not intentionally sleuth the other family members, merely trying to figure out the family dynamics and the possible situation in the home, as it seems to be confusing to many.

As an aside, I get the feeling there is a disconnect between some of the family...for some reason. Sad.

Mods IF this was not okay....please delete , thank you

I live in NC near Fort Bragg. Plumadore lived in the Charlotte area, not very close to Fort Bragg since the route between the two areas is pretty rural. While I am not sure exactly where he lived near Charlotte, it probably takes about two hours to make the drive.

He went to high school in Gastonia. You can check online for distance between Gastonia and Fayetteville, NC.

Remember in little Aliayahs case how the family told everyone the FBI told them they couldn't talk, and then Aunt Vicki found out that was a huge lie...

just sayin.....

I haven't seen SF's name in print either Dr. K.

I haven't read where it has been said exactly who is residing in Tarah's home.

The wheelchair matches up with a photo either backthread or on the other thread where I saw what I assumed was the Mom's home and it had a ramp in it to the side for wheelchair access. Don't know if Tarah requires one all the time or does since her flu or if the ramp was built for someone else in the family or was already there when they moved in. JMHO

 

[krimekat]

:bump: again . . .

Please continue here.

Please remember that discussion of how this young girl ended up in that trailer is relevent to this case. The family is discussable to that end - but there is to be NO BASHING or TRASHING. We still do not know all the circumstances about why Aliahna was with this <modsnip>.

Also remember there is NO NAME CALLING, not even of the perp. I know that is difficult sometimes but we can do it.

Prayers for this little one, may she rest in peace and may her sisters find safety and be allowed to grow up.

I'm so very thankful you are here to share your story today. You must be a very strong person with a magnificent heart and large capacity to 'deal' to be the great person you are now. Here's wishing you many many blessings in your present and future and thanks once again for writing your story in such a vivid and descriptive way. It really really helps others to understand.

She actually took the time to post that? Why not just make her fb page private and set it to no comments.

The last thing I would think about if my child were just murdered is updating my face book status.
good grief. :banghead:

 

[cluciano63]

It's possible that if the other little girls have been put into care for now, they may be safer than they ever have been.

 

[Victory]

Agreed, BUT, how many people actually run the people in their lives for priors?

this wasnt just someone in their lives. this was a man that was going to be alone in a home with three naive, innocent minded, little girls for days at a time. even a clean background check wouldnt be enough for me. its just not something you do. it is just not a situation that i would take a chance on, its not an option to put little girls in this situation.

I am confused, where did Lyle Moser come into the picture and why was Aliahna's last name Lemmon? I can see the bio father relationship with the Maroney last name and the Mother, who is remarried to AS. I don't see the Moser connection or why her last name is Lemmon. Is Lemmon her mother's maiden name?

Thanks for those links! It's so nice to be able to go there to read and reference the articles I can't seem to remember long enough to reference here, lol.

For some reason, the link with pic of Tarah in wheelchair will not open for me. Anyone else?
