IN - Aliahna Maroney Lemmon, 9, Fort Wayne, 23 Dec 2011 - #3

Unbelievable.

"A pickup loaded with large cardboard boxes Wednesday afternoon signaled a mother's grief just a few days after her little girl met a grisly death.

Family and friends of Aliahna Lemmon, the 9-year-old who was found bludgeoned and cut to pieces Monday, were removing the girl's belongings from the mobile home where she lived.

Aliahna's mother, Tarah Souders, couldn't bear to look at her daughter's possessions any longer, so they would be taken to a storage facility, said Allen Souders, the girl's stepfather.

How large are these mobile homes? I am thinking 6 children (both sexes) and 2 adults
CPS would want to know who slept where at home.
To pack up a murdered child's belongings so quickly and pay for storage?
Just sounds like throw away kids.
So sick of parents like this..........

A 9-year-old girl whose body police allege was dismembered by a man in Fort Wayne, Ind., last week attended Winter Street Elementary School in Hagerstown.

Aliahna Lemmon was a student at Winter Street Elementary School from January to June 2011, Washington County Public Schools spokesman Richard Wright said.

I don't know why my previous post did not display, but basically I wonder if paying for storage is a way to avoid this stuff from falling into the hands of LE forensics experts.

“She just can't stand to be around this stuff after what happened,” he said."

Maroney said he knew the man accused of killing his daughter, 39-year-old Michael Plumadore, through his daughter's mother, Tarah Souders.

By the way, the first pic of Ali at this link, of her and her puppies, breaks my heart.

I am going to get up and walk away from the computer now......ullhair:

Cubby - IMHO based on the first-hand experience I have had with this MHP and my BIL, this place is like its own sub-culture. I mean, come on, do people really believe it is a coincidence that all these RSO's live so close to one another. BS!

You are so right, I have watch dog alert in my town to see where RSO move to and they all seem to huddle together in a certain part of town, usually in our poorer part of town where the rent is cheap, lots of drug arrests, plenty of bars and many low life people around. Birds of a feather.........

Ok - so after I post THIS I *am* taking a break.

THIS is exactly what kind of thoughts I had when I realized the money being collected was going to the mother. THIS is what she thinks is IMPORTANT to be focused on and paying for right now??????? ullhair:

Walking away...........

The reason given for wiping out any trace of Aliahna in the home goes on my checklist under possible evidence of pathological DENIAL. We sure have seen other strong signs of this elsewhere in the family. Ya know, 'everyone' makes mistakes.

Maybe 'some' of the things are NOT little Ana's! Possible decoy for videos? pictures?
sex toys? etc............that the parents want out of the house also to protect themselves from a search warrent!

Yah, goes under the "life is all about MEEEEE" category maybe?

Talking about mothers packing up belongings of their dead child, I had a friend whose younger son was accidentally shot and killed 10+ years ago. He had went to McDonalds sometime earlier in the day prior to his being killed and had eaten his hamburger, etc. in his bedroom. To this day, his room is just the same as it was that last day including his hamburger and fries wrappers. She says she just can't bring herself to part with any of it. I think if I were in a similar situation, I would be the exact same way.

If they can get a search warrant for the trailer, they can get one for any storage units just as easily. If this is a ploy, I am not the least worried about it working.

I know we all react differently, but really? Most parents can't stand the idea of parting with a single thing, and when they do get rid of their child's belongings, it's a slow process, with treasured objects going to family or close friends...not everything packed into boxes and sent to storage after less than a week.

I have a feeling I'm going to be sitting on my hands a lot today! What I will say is that I wonder how LE feels about this sudden boxing up and removing of all of Ali's things...

I have seen it go both ways, fwiw. I have seen parents who have lost their children to disease vs murder pack everything away. I dont think this is a sign of anything other than shock and grief, but I respect that others do.

I think it may also be a sign of the responsibility mom feels as well. JMO.

I'm wondering if he could have used one of the vacant trailers to dismember her leaving his place clear of blood evidence.

I'm still waiting for more info to come out to assure us MP had not taken Ali to a neighbor friend's house for sport. Have there been ANY signs of neighboring trailers being searched?

Just stopped in to see if T's temporary paralysis had resolved itself yet. Inquiring minds want to know donchaknow. :angel:

I think LE would be able to get the things; there may be a search warrant in the works. I look at Zahra's case and the fact that Adam Baker is 'not connected' according to LE. Nothing surprises me. :banghead:

I've done the same with my son's belongings and he's been gone 8 years. His belongings can be disposed of when I am dead, over my dead body!

I've seen it go both ways too, but not this fast. Our neighbors, when I was a child lost their 14 month old to SIDS. He was fine when they put him to bed, dead when they woke up. They kept a few of his things, but after about a month, they started packing up his things, and sending them to other family, and some went to Goodwill. They used his favorite toys as permanent fixtures though, and his photos were the last things to come off the walls at the old house, and the first things to go on the walls at the new house. On the flip side, when my cousin died of the same thing at four months old, his parents kept his room as a shrine. Nothing changed, they even still go in and switch on the monitor at night, otherwise his mother has nightmares that he is still there, and crying and they can't hear him. I know that this is a horribly hurtful thing, and terrible, and maybe they are thinking that with as often as they move, her things will be safer in storage, but it is still way too soon, IMO. But I'm not living it, I admit that.

It's just one of those things that makes you go "THEY DID WHAT?"
