IN - Aliahna Maroney Lemmon, 9, Fort Wayne, 23 Dec 2011 - #4

[OneLove]

"He kind of kept to himself," Tulley said, adding James Lemmon had occasionally admitted to him that he would have to put Plumamdore "in his place."

Tulley said these infrequent conflicts stemmed from James Lemmon wanting to do too much

There seems to be disagreement who was the father figure

In July or August, Plumadore quit his job in North Carolina to return to Fort Wayne at the request of the Lemmon family, Snead said. Other residents confirmed the Lemmons at the time viewed Plumadore as a father figure who could help out as James Lemmon's health worsened.

Mike Tulley, a neighbor, said James Lemmon had a number of health issues including emphysema, and Plumadore had cared for the ailing man since August. Plumadore considered Lemmon a father figure, Tulley says.

Just a guess but maybe no one was very fatherly in the conventional sense in this set up.

that was John Gardner. They already had him for the killing of Chelsea. The plea came in that they took the DP off the table in return for the location of Amber's body. They even took him on a lil field trip (unbeknownst to media and everyone) so he could show them exactly where she was.

I don't think there's any plea here yet. They pushed it back because there are going to be so so so many more charges. I'll bet the house on that.



JMHO

I know that. My point, the plea deal for John Gardner was really quick. I sure wasn't expecting it that soon. If prosecution drops the death penalty it could be a quick plea deal here as well.

How is that even legal?
Is it not a law that registered sex offenders can't live or work near children?

I am not sure of each state's version of the law, but my father (RSO) has the restrictions that he may not live within a thousand feet of schools or day care centers, and he may not live within 500 feet of places that children congregate. He also cannot associate with known felons, and he cannot associate with persons under 18, or engage in any relationship with a custodial parent of a child under 18. In other words, he can live near kids, as long as he is not living near a place where they congregate or attend school, and as long as he has no contact with the children or families with children that live around him.

That is MI's interpretation of Megan's Law, but I am not sure what IN's interpretation is.

"Aliahna Lemmon's stepfather, Allen Souders, tells The News-Sentinel ( http://bit.ly/t8ArVc ) that his wife couldn't bear to look at her daughter's possessions after what happened so he was moving them to a storage facility."

Don't know if this was posted yet, probably was....I'm always behind. I am from Fort Wayne. I moved away about 10 yrs ago but go up almost yearly as I still have family and friends up there. Anyways, I've heard from several close friends that the memorial was taken down by TS. This case is just beyond sad.

There is something way off with TS.

I didn't notice this before:



http://www.news-sentinel.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20111228/NEWS/111229713

I wonder how much these guys know about what happened. If he was talking about wanting Aliahna back, what else did they talk about?

--and what was this "extra load of laundry" that he had on friday?

--and when did he come by with it?

--b/c of the "mis-communication" between mikeP and tarah, she wasn't reported until later that NIGHT. ( 8:40 p.m. i believe.)

--if he brought the extra laundry over in the DAYTIME , after his cigar & "nap"-----why would he be saying then "i want her back". ??? ( she wasn't missing yet ).

--did he bring the other 2 little girls with him to do laundry---or leave them alone back @ RSO grandpa's trailer ??

Sorry for bumping, but off and on my phone is not showing the post I included with a quote. Is this bump showing my post I added to the quote? I don't understand this glitch.

There should be an equal number of quote tags beginning and ending the quote and you have some extras here.

------------
If JL and Plumadore were so close, then what did they discuss in conversation, and what did they do for entertainment--for example, did they like to watch movies/videos, etc.?

Hard to imagine that extra load of laundry wasn't nasty beyond belief. At the least, he had to have put two and two together.

--UN believable!

--1st they pack up her belongings and erase all traces of her in their trailer, and now to take the memorial , done by people who actually CARE down?

--your friends-----did they say that TS took this down herself?? any 1st hand info on how her temporary paralysis is ??

Just as an aside (and since the thread is slow at the moment) there are case archives for both Amber Dubois and Chelsea King on crankycrankerson. Link in my siggy.

Well Thank You Amanda!:rocker:

You are fantastic!!!:woohoo:

Is this MP's trailer? I can't see how he could have hit her in the head multiple times with a brick and there not be blood splatter everywhere. Did he place a bag on her head first before he bludgeoned her? I'm sure she screamed (i.e the night terrors) and if she was outside, then the neighbors would have heard. I'm at a loss here. I'm starting to think like someone else who posted that people do not snitch on others in this particular trailer park community.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...bysitter-Michael-Plumadore-poses-cameras.html

I don't believe that is acutally MP's trailer. Somewhere I saw two pictures of his with the crime scene tape around and it was quite a bit older than that, with the old-
style curved roof and dark skirting at the bottom. I'll try and find them.

ETA: Don't have to search, I see the picture has already been posted - thanks!

If TS took her daughter's memorial down, I am guessing she was very resentful toward her own daughter. Maybe she even blames her for the mess she is in right now.

Thanks Donjeta. I don't know why my phone is doing this. I have not deleted any quote tags or added/done anything different than always. I may have to just quit including quotes.

Somebody please, PLEASE tell me the other children have been removed from the care of this <unusual> mother. I can't bear to think of the remaining children being left in the care of this <unusual> family for one second longer.

NO child should have to grow up like this. Ever. It's unconscionable.

 

[Bravo]

Thanks for the updates all. Glad to see they are taking their time with this case.

Let's not forget that this trailer is the one the grandfather died in just a couple of weeks before. Didnt mom bother to think THAT might freak the girls out???
Sorry but when I read the grandfathers obit and it said he died at home this all hit me and just another thing making me :furious:!!!

I don't believe mom cares one way or the other how the children felt about anything. She's not that type, apparently.

There is something way off with TS.

I agree. I'm betting that in TS mind, and maybe more in that dysfunctional family, it's all Aliahana's fault, even though we know that it's not! :maddening:

Wondering if the family will move out of that TP now or if they'll stay and still try to continue to blend in. sigh

MOO

Amen to THAT!
