Missing Ind. girl found dead, babysitter charged

FORT WAYNE, Ind. - Authorities say a missing 9-year-old Indiana girl has been found dead, and a family friend who had been watching the girl is facing murder charges.

Allen County sheriff's spokesman Cpl. Jeremy Tinkel said Monday night that investigators found the body of Aliahna Lemmon in the county, but he wouldn't say where.

Tinkel said 39-year-old Mike Plumadore was arrested and is being held on a murder charge. He's scheduled to appear in court Tuesday.

Aliahna was reported missing Friday night. FBI agents joined the search Monday, descending on the mobile home park where she lived that's a known haven for registered sex offenders.

Plumadore isn't on Indiana's registered sex offenders list. He has a criminal record in Florida and North Carolina that includes convictions for trespassing and assault.

The Human Rights activist are just as guilty for this murder as the murderer. The animal that killed this little girl deserves to be executed. These activist work behind the scenes putting pressure on the judicial system to spare these people are promoting these horrible acts. I curse you and wish you the same fate as this little girl.

It's amazing how a case like this gets all you right wing fanatics in a lather against "human rights activists" - no one on the left wants child murderers or anyone else free to commit crimes. They kill our children, too. We only want innocent people to be protected from mob "justice." We want the courts and the police to do their jobs correctly. It could be YOUR blood the mob is calling for, when you are innocent. I am not like most of my liberal bretheren, in that I support the death penalty when there is no doubt about the guilt. But it is often quite difficult to be sure of that guilt. We are a nation of laws, at least we say we are. Mobs with pitchforks do not often dispense justice very well.

Every fox'hole becomes the liberal they rant about when it's their kid that gets tossed in jail.

[jackp32]

There can be only one sentence for a person convicted of murdering a child.................DEATH. One should forfeit one's life when committing such an evil act that defies description.

[magnumdr]

Another sick story about how a child has to pay for anothers problems. I hope that this "killer" sits in a cell and rots forever. LEAVE THESE KIDS ALONE! If you have personal problems go ahead and kill yourself instead of innocent children!

[unclebernies]

Death penalty dosen't work. Most of the mutants that kill people want the death penalty because they can't stand prison. Your just giving them what they want.

[actornaught]

"heck of a lot cheaper to execute than incarcerate"

Wrong.

[unclebernies]

The parents of this girl are partially to blame. I would not allow a male to babysit a litte girl even if i thought i knew them.

[involved_indi]

if only they were as wise as you...

[Dgunner]

Given the oppurtunity I bet there isn't five out fifty that would pull the switch or inject the drugs themselves into a killer of one of thier children. They all holler for justice unless they themselves have to dish it out.Arm chair quarterbacks all talk a big game and people like myself who would actually love to look right into thier eyes as life slips away are labled mentally ill because I might enjoy it.Hell fire I know I would.

Even though you bleeding heart Liberals are against the death penalty but support abortion (the killing of babies), I, a dire hard Republican with morals and ethics whose fought for this country says, fry the low life Liberal. Our prisons are already over flowing with unedcated Liberals.

[actornaught]

Where's it say he was a liberal? If you want to knee-jerk like that, he was a cigar smoker. Sounds like a Limbaugh fan...

[unclebernies]

Do you mean the same liberals that killed Bin Laden

[underdogcity]

Giving the death penalty to all child killers doesn't even come close to what they deserve. They need to be tormented daily, just as they tormented their prey before they murdered them. They are useless to our society. Garbage maggots have a much higher status than they do.

Losing a child has to be one of the worst and deepest sadness's of all time. My heart goes out to this family.

[smittyc]

This animal has human rights. Ask any human rights activist. The murderer will go before a judge, he will say he is sorry, and had a bad childhood. The judge will feel bad, maybe even cry and say it is ok, you are free to go. Then all the human rights activist will cheer, and justice will be served.

[wlhoppers]

I agree with you completely

Keep your hands off the lethal injection plunger folks. The girl has a history of sleepwalking according to other media sources. Even the family has said so. What I can't understand is that is the trailer park is a known haven for sex offenders, why send the kids to a neighbor's place while mom is recovering from the "flu". That in itself is suspect given the environment. I want to see more reports before passing any type of judgment.
