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

[RT51]

FORT WAYNE, Ind. -- Police are trying to determine if a man suspected of killing a Fort Wayne girl could be linked to similar crimes around the country.

Investigators said they are concerned about Michael Plumadore’s past because of his apparent lack of remorse when he described 9-year-old Aliahna Lemmon’s slaying to detectives.

Plumadore was baby-sitting Lemmon and her two younger sisters at a Fort Wayne mobile home park days before she disappeared, RTV6’s Chris Proffitt reported.

I am glad they have the fortitude to look further. He seems to be a transient so very possible there are connections to other crimes.

My family is very sentimental, in my possession is 100 years old rocker tahn belonged to my great great uncle who died of diptheria age 20 months.
A framed drawing from school, of another great great uncle who was killed violantly by a drunk driver in 1932 at the age of 9.
My dear grandma made sure we all KNEW them. Kept their memory alive generation after generation.
My grandchildren have my father's WWII, rations, Eisenhower jacket.
Some things are heirlooms and priceless.
Not costly just love for a deceased love one.
How can things just be discarded even before a funeral?

Yet...still live x number of feet from the "HOUSE OF HORRORS". Denial just doesn't cut it for me! Maybe they are moving out & we just don't know it??? I hope so!:great:

mom just claimed the flu. IMO if she had MS or something serious she would of used her excuse better,,,,,,,,,,JMOO

Just kept thinking about the friend who said she'd be able to walk next week... (I'm paraphrasing) That's why the leaning toward something other than the flu.
Guess her friend just "knows" things and can predict the future- :crystalball:

YIPES! I found that case and skimmed by it......I did NOT see the charges involving a SECOND victim! Thank you! :great:

I swear I think if this statement by DS pans out, it could answer a TON of questions!

http://dailyiowegian.com/x528360353/Jury-finds-Centerville-man-guilty-of-five-sexual-abuse-charges

This article details the specific charges as related to two separate victims. Wood, Sr., was convicted of third degree sexual abuse of both victims from July 2009 to July 2010, as well as other charges of abuse of the first victim.

I have no indication that Wood Sr. and Jr. are the two men that DS says abused AL. But the location and the time frame seem to fit.

We need a list of places and dates so we can sleuth similar missing or unsolved cases. There is probably a list around here already. I apologize if I missed it.

I only see three pics on his FB, one is Aliahna's missing poster....what am I missing?:waitasec:

They're talking about his myspace page but unlike MP's facebook I don't see any red flags or anything creepy there either,just a pic of his tattoo and family pics ,some of them taken Helloween...

Thank you! Interesting that they did not mention the specifics of the proposed law pending further investigation. That leads me to believe that they have quite a bit more info in the vault that we are privy to!

Good night, all......fftobed:

I think it's just the opposite. They don't even know what law to pass until they figure out why the alleged perp did it.

What a find! It really seemed likely - so I went sleuthing further using your lead, but I don't think it's them. In the article below - it states the charges involved father/son incest with two daughters/sisters, one roughly 12-14yr between 2002-2005 depending on which yrs complaint, and the second under 12y in 2010. Ugh. Those poor girls.

I think in cases like this the key is-did the parent know the "babysitter" was unsafe? Of course so far the relatives of Ali's mother have been singing praises about the alleged perp- how trustworthy they believed he was and how he couldn't hurt any child. And so far it doesn't appear the alleged perp actually was a RSO. If he were then I wouldn't be surprised by neglect charges at all. He was however a convicted felon but I am not sure if that is going to lead to any charges.

Right, if it turns out MP was abusing Ali and they knew about it they could be found negligent. At this time there is nothing to substantiate that claim, just giving an example of what could happen to TS and/or AS if it comes to light that was the case.

Thanks, Mahoolin. Looks like you're right, there's no connection. The article you cited states both victims are Wood Sr's daughters.

I saw in a link on that article that an 18 year old with the same last name in the same town was guilty of sexual abuse of a child in the last 6 months. Wonder if he's related?

As far as this case goes, I don't see an apparent connection, except for the possibility that there were crimes against other victims that were not charged.

I posed the question about possible other kids in the last thread too, smittles, and I am still confused. I've read contradictory things. Some posts mentioned a 4th child, a younger boy. And JL's obituary looks like TS may be the mother of grandson K. The ages and relationship of the other 2 girls at MP's varies in MSM reports and posts here too.

If there is a MSM link or a clarification in a post here, I'd appreciate it. I've tried to read through all the threads, but with things moving quickly I may not have seen it. Thanks in advance!

Not sure about the number of adult living in home, but this may help with the children in the house. I now believe that the reference to the 6 kid in the household must of been her sisters children. JMO!!:twocents:

I haven't seen anything about another adult living with TS and AS, smittles. That would be interesting, given the explanation that TS was too sick and AS was at work or sleeping to have the 3 girls at home.

This is a bio I found for TS: I am a mother of 3 with a beautiful step daughter. I am now working full time as a computer repair tech at aarons sales & lease after being a stay at home mom for close to six years off and on. My youngest name removed 4yrs starts pre k next year and my 5yr old name removed starts kindergarden along with my step daughter name removed, Aliahna 8yrs will be going into 3rd grade next year. I love my children, my husband, my close friends and family and my life. I wouldn't change a thing.

I just came across an article from North Carolina that states that MP is a registered sex offender:

A man now charged with the unspeakable murder and dismemberment of a 9-year old, girl, has a history in Watauga County. Sheriff Len Hagaman said that Michael Plumadore was in Watauga in 2007 and 2008, and was arrested here as a fugitive from Indiana. The Sheriff said Plumadore was found in what was the “Domestic Violence and Sex Offender Registry Verification” by warrant and sex offender check, and was here November 29th of 2007 to January 22nd 2008.

Has anyone seen this any place else? Perhaps the sheriff was misquoted or not remembering it accurately after several years.

Thanks, Kimb103. Wow--loves her life! I wonder why some posts talked about 6 kids. Maybe it was just 6 people in all.

Just remember, it is NOT AWALYS stranger-danger; it could be a scout-leader, daycare teacher, babysitter, uncle, family friend, the friendly neighbor...it is most OFTEN someone the child knows & they have to be taught that as well.

I was late to the bus stop & my son had accepted a ride from a friend of my husband. We read him the riot act...just because we know him...etc. He didn't really understand for a long time, but he never forgot it.

This is off topic to the thread - but I HIGHLY recommend [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Safe-Side-Stranger-Safety-People/dp/B0009LS9Y4"]Amazon.com: The Safe Side - Stranger Safety: Hot Tips To Keep Cool Kids Safe With People They Don't Know And Kinda Know: Angela Shelton, John Walsh, Carol Cordova, Kevin Meier, Connor Cordova, Aspen Clark, Sierra Clark, Braxton Thais, Jean Miller (IV), Revital Krawetz, Paul Kessler (III), Elen Costa, Zach Brooks, Elizabeth Decker, Frank Aaron, Alphonso Johnson, Suzanne Guiterrez, Kevin Smith (XXVII), Regina Mocey, Chris Moore (VII): Movies & TV@@AMEPARAM@@http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51iafy36B4L.@@AMEPARAM@@51iafy36B4L[/ame]

It is so well done, it's been two years since my daughter watched it (she's 8) but we still refer to people as "don't knows" and "kinda know" like the video explains. We have a short list of our "know very well."
We have a family password and thanks to an earlier thread we have a phrase that if she ever says it I'll come running. Although she said so sweetly "mom, I'll just tell you straight out if I need you to come get me."
Short of my older brother (and if my dad were still alive he would be on the list) I don't think there's any man that I would let her stay with -without a wife present in the home.

It's mind boggling though that this case is not about stranger danger -

TS's sister was hospitalized for some time. I am betting the other children in the home at that time are her sister's kids. JMO

Here is the link where you can find Allen Co., Indiana public records if anyone wants to look anything up or follow MP's docket. I will put this in the Located Timeline and Media Links thread.

I found this link for MP on a website of a PI in Sarasota, Fl. It doesn't appear to have new info but it might be helpful. (If it's a duplicate link, please excuse):

When my DD was old enough to babysit, she was the only one in our subdivision who was. She kept her schedule on the calendar next to the phone and also a list of her "customers" phone numbers. I was always home when she sat. One evening I got home from work, she already had plans made way ahead to attend a bday party. My son said he was going to make some money, he was to babysit three little girls because she was not home. Oh no, you are not - and it was very close to the time the mother was to leave. I called her and said she would have to bring the kids to my house. She thought I was silly but did bring them, son had to color with them, watch cartoons with them, but I was here and watched them too. From then on he was instructed why he was not to accept any more babysitting jobs - he made his money by doing yard work. Of course he thought my protecting him was silly but now that he is grown, glad I did. Protecting our kids covers everything in their lives.
