Aliahna Lemmon disappeared two days before Christmas. Her body was found Monday night.


Aliahna Lemmon, a 9-year-old Indiana girl who disappeared two days before Christmas, was found dead Monday night, officials said. Authorities charged 39-year-old Michael L. Plumadore with murder, the Allen County sheriff's office said.

Sheriff's Officer Jeremy Tinkel would not disclose Plumadore's relationship with Aliahna or details about what led to the man's arrest.

Earlier, Amber Story, the girl's grandmother, described Plumadore as a neighbor and close family friend. She said Aliahna and her two sisters were staying with Plumadore while Aliahna's mother recovered from the flu.

Prior to the suspect's arrest, Story said she believed the girl could have sleepwalked out of Plumadore's Fort Wayne home early Friday morning and been taken. She said Aliahna suffered from partial hearing loss and partial blindness, but has gotten out of her home while sleepwalking before.

Plumadore is set to make make his first appearance in Allen County Court on Tuesday morning.

Fort Wayne, Ind. (AP) --

Prosecutors in Indiana charged a baby sitter with murder and two other felonies Friday after he told police he bludgeoned and dismembered a 9-year-old girl just days before Christmas.

An undated Allen County (Ind.) Sheriff's Department photo shows Mike Plumadore. Authorities said Monday night, Dec. 26, 2011 that Aliahna Lemmon had been found dead and Plumadore, 39, who was watching Aliahna and her two sisters when she went missing Friday, was being held on a murder charge. He and Aliahna's family lived in the same mobile home park in Fort Wayne. He was formally charged with murder Tuesday, Dec. 27, 2011.


Michael Plumadore, 39, was charged in Fort Wayne with murder, abuse of a corpse and removing a dead body from the scene in the killing of Aliahna Maroney-Lemmon.
Authorities say Plumadore told police he killed Aliahna in the early hours of Dec. 22. She was reported missing Friday night.


Plumadore had been looking after the girl and her two younger sisters because their mother was sick. He had looked after Aliahna's dying grandfather and her family had considered him a trusted friend and neighbor.
Plumadore is jailed without bond.


Danielle Edenfield, the Allen County prosecutor's office chief investigator, said Friday the charges would be read to him in jail. An initial court hearing on the formal charges is scheduled for Wednesday.
Allen County Chief Deputy Prosecutor Mike McAlexander told The News-Sentinel Friday that his office "has not precluded" the possibility of seeking the death penalty against Plumadore.


The standard prison sentence for a murder conviction in Indiana is 45 years to 65 years. The other charges each carry maximum sentences of three years in prison.
Documents filed Friday by prosecutors identified Aliahna with the names of both her father, Dawayne Maroney of Centerville, Iowa, and the maiden name of her mother, Tarah Souders.


According to court documents,,,, Plumadore told police he hit the girl repeatedly in the head with a brick. He then put the girl's body inside trash bags and stuffed it inside a freezer in the trailer where he had lived with her grandfather.
Plumadore told authorities that he later used a hack saw to dismember her body.

Police arrested him Monday, two days after more than 100 emergency workers searched the rundown trailer park in the north of Fort Wayne where he and Aliahna's family lived.


Police said Plumadore told them he had hidden Aliahna's head, feet and hands at the trailer and discarded her other remains at a nearby business.

Police obtained a warrant to search the trailer on Monday and found the body parts.

Plumadore has a criminal record in Florida and North Carolina that includes convictions for trespassing and assault, and an Indiana conviction for forgery.
