Michael Pumadore’s grandfather passed away in 1997, here is the obituary.

Amos Perry Faulkner

• Father: Haywood Harris Faulkner b. 26 Apr 1862, d. 18 Jun 1930
• Mother: Lessie D. Strickland b. 5 Aug 1887, d. 1 Mar 1965

• Birth*: Amos Perry Faulkner was born on 17 July 1920 at Vance Co., NC.
• He was the son of Haywood Harris Faulkner and Lessie D. Strickland.
• Death*: Amos Perry Faulkner died on 15 December 1997 at Gastonia, Gaston Co., NC, at age 77.
• Obituary: On 29 December 1997 at Charlotte, Mecklenburg Co., NC, GASTONIA – Mr. Amos Perry Faulkner
  77, of 1416 W. Mauney Ave. died Dec. 28, 1997, at his residence.
  Graveside service is 2 p.m. Tuesday in Hollywood Cemetery. Visitation is 7-8:30 p.m. today at Ward Funeral Home.
  A native of Henderson, Mr. Faulkner was son of the late Lecie Strickland Faulkner and a retired electrician (International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers). He was a World War II Navy veteran and a member of VFW Post 9337.
  Survivors include daughters, Lecie Puckett of Gastonia and Teresa Melton of Shelby; and grandchildren, Brandy Thompson of Ft. Pierce, FL, Jason Thompson and Michael Plumadore, both of Shelby, and Barbara Puckett Dean of Rock Hill, SC.

This would make both the Thompson’s and Puckett-Dean cousins of Michael Plumadore. Correction. They are both half-siblings of Michael Plumadore.

Michael Plumadore’s half-brother, Jason Thompson, has pictures on his Facebook page of his niece. One of those commenting  on the photos who is also a friend of Jason’s on Facebook is Kristina Kennedy, DaWayne Maloney’s ex-wife. DaWayne is Aliahna’s biological father, and Kristina is the sister of Kurtis Kennedy, who molested Aliahna in 2010.

In addition, Michael Plumadore’s half-sister, Brandy Thompson is also friends with Kristina Kennedy.

Both Brandy and Jason live in Spartanburg, SC.

And then we have Mitchell Maroney who attended the same high school in Paulding, Ohio as Aliahna’s father DaWayne. Brothers? Cousins? The resemblance is striking.

Mitchell Maroney - Sexual Battery (click to enlarge)

As you can see, Mitchell was convicted in 2007 of sexual battery. He was released in January 2011, and now lives in Cloverdale, OH. He’s two years younger than DaWayne Maroney, and both attended Paulding High School.

Kurtis Kennedy, who molested Aliahna in 2010 while in Centerville, IA is the younger brother of Aliahna’s stepmother. Aliahna’s biological father is still friends with him on Facebook.

Kristina Kennedy is the sister of Kurtis Kennedy, and is the ex-wife of Aliahna’s father Dawayne Maloney, who is the ex-husband of Tarah Souders. Maroney has Kurtis listed  as friends on Facebook. Kristina Kennedy and Tarah Souders are also Facebook friends.

In addition, Aliahna’s grandfather, James Lemmon apparently lived in the Centerville area. On April 10, 2005, James was extradited to Allen County, Indiana after being arrested in Centerville on a warrant issue from Allen County, Indiana for three counts of child molestation.

An interesting look at Tarah’s relationships of the past and present.

Aliahna as most of you know, is the daughter of Tarah Souders and Dawayne Maroney. She was previously married to Lyle Moser and has a 6 year-old child with Moser.

Lyle Moser

Note the tear drop tattoo under Moser’s right eye.  From Wiki: In the United States, it can mean the wearer has killed someone and the number of teardrops may indicate the number of killings. It can also indicate the number of years served in prison or the loss of a loved one or fellow gang member. It could however, mean anything.

Lyle Moser and Tarah Souders were divorced in 2009. Moser’s Facebook page is here.

Allen Souders and his first wife, Priscilla Brown

Allen Souders is the current stepfather of Aliahna, and father to her 6 year-old stepsister. It seems Kennedy may have relatives in Hagerstown, MD which is where Aliahna was enrolled in school earlier this year.

Kristina Kennedy was married to Dawayne Maroney, Aliahna’s father, and had child in 2009 (Aliahna’s half sister), and is the sister of Kurtis Kennedy, who molested Aliahna in 2010 (see above). To further muck up the waters, Kurtis Kennedy was purportedly once engaged to Tarah’s current husband’s ex, Priscilla Brown, (Facebook page) who is still Facebook friends with him, as well as Kristina Kennedy.

Kristina Kennedy pictured with Aliahna

Other things to ponder. Tarah and her children were in Iowa last year, and moved to Hagerstown, MD, where she enrolled Aliahna in school. However, her Facebook page states she was in Chambersburg, PA from February through May of this year. I cannot account for the gap just yet, but I’m looking into it. UPDATE: As someone pointed out, that’s only 25 miles from Hagerstown. And I thought I was pretty good at geography.

In addition, it’s being reported Plumadore may have owned or lived in this house at in the early 2000′s in Jupiter, FL.

This is apparently one of two cases where Aliahna was molested in Iowa.

From the Daily Iowegian.

In a 2010 case, Aliahna is listed as the victim of a sexual assault. Kurtis Allen Kennedy, age 19 at the time of the crime, was originally charged with second degree sexual abuse. He was later arraigned on a charge of indecent contact with a child, an aggravated misdemeanor.

Kennedy plead not guilty to the original charge on April 16, 2010. On July 9, 2010 he entered a guilty plea to the indecent contact with a child charge. According to a complaint affidavit signed by Centerville Police Officer Jeremy Cole, during a Jan. 21 interview with Kennedy at his home, he confessed to his acts on Jan. 2.

“On Jan. 21, 2010 at approximately 3:20 p.m., DHS case worker Sarah Baker and I [Jeremy Cole] interviewed the defendant [Allen Kennedy] in his home, during the interview Kennedy did admit to partially disrobing Aliahna Lemmon, a seven year old child, and placing his hand on the child’s bare buttock, while the child was in his case on the evening of Jan. 2, 2010,” the affidavit said. “The defendant did so for the sole purpose of self-sexual gratification. The victim, Aliahna Lemmon, confirmed the defendant’s admission.”

As reported in a July 26, 2010 article in the Daily Iowegian, entitled “Prison sentence suspended to probation for Centerville teen,” Kennedy was sentenced to two years in prison, suspended to two year probation and a fine and surcharge, also suspended. Kennedy was ordered to register on the Iowa Sex Offender Registry for 10 year and to complete one of the residential correctional facilities operated by the Eighth Judicial District Department of Corrections.

Kennedy was sent to a halfway house in Ottumwa; however, he was involved in a fight on Oct. 11 inside the facility where he received a simple assault charge from the Ottumwa, Iowa Police Department. He was later transferred to Oakdale Prison in Iowa, where he is currently serving his prison sentence.

Tarah Souders, the mother of Aliahna, has traffic tickets from Appanoose County and Monroe County dating back as far as 2005, according to online court records. Souders was also listed on an April 5, 2010 Centerville City Council meeting agenda. Souders was requesting to “bring a dangerous dog into the city for her handicap daughter.” The topic, however, was not discussed as Souders did not attend the meeting, according to the meeting minutes.

In 2005, her address was listed in court documents as 213 East Wall St., Seymour, IA 52590.

Aliahna’s grandfather, James Lemmon, also spent an unknown period of time in the Centerville area. On April 10, 2005, James was extradited to Allen County, Indiana after being arrested in Centerville on a warrant issue from Allen County, Indiana on three counts of child molestation.

James may have lived at 649 North Park in Centerville, according to court documents.

I’m doing some digging now on the relationship between Kennedy and Tarah Souders, and just how he gained access to Aliahna.

There’s a business in town called Three Rivers Coin and Jewelry Exchange with multiple locations, including Stellhorn Road, Lafayette Street, Coldwater Road and Getz Road. If you travel down Getz, at the corner of Illinois and Covington, you’ve see them waving the “We Buy Gold” signs. They hire everything from people charged with attempted rape, sexual misconduct with a minor, forced sodomy and child molesting.

This is not all of them, I only searched two locations. Look at the last guy.

I’ve been giving this some more thought, and there are questions that come to mind.

• The week-long flu story that Tarah Souders claims in my opinion is suspect. Did she see a doctor, and if so, who was it?
•  Did Tarah Souders and Plumadore have a physical relationship? Why would he be in Centerville, IA at the same time Aliahna and her family were last year, and come to Fort Wayne this year, as they did. I think it’s pretty convenient to say it was to take care of Tarah’s father, and while that may have been part of it, it doesn’t eliminate the fact they were all in Centerville, IA at the same time. In addition, Dawayne Maroney, Aliahna’s biological father stated he knew Plumadore through Tarah Souders.
• Why was Aliahna living in Hagerstown, MD this year, and was Plumadore present? I found over 20 people with the last name Plumadore in Hagerstown. I looked, and I’ve not been able to make a connection between them and Michael Plumadore. From what I’ve gleaned, Souder and her family returned to Fort Wayne in late June or early July of this year.
• Where was Tarah Souders last Friday between the hours of 10:00 a.m. when she purportedly called Plumadore and 8:30 p.m. when they finally reported Aliahna missing?
• When Tarah showed up at a candlelight service earlier this week, she was in a wheelchair that likely belonged to her father. She allegedly was suffering from “temporary paralysis.” Hard to believe. She’s walking around fine today.
• How did Plumadore pay his bills? He made $200 a month selling plasma. How did he pay for Internet access, lot rent, electricity and his cigars? There had to be another source of income, likely an illegal source.
• I understand people have different ways of handling grief. I still question why Tarah Souders removed an entire pickup truck load of items from her mobile home, stating she couldn’t handle being around Aliahna’s possessions.
• If he in fact killed her on the porch, there would have been blood splattering all over the place. I don’t buy that, it likely happened somewhere else. I was going to attempt to get close enough to the trailer porch today to take pictures, but the prosecutor’s office is moving the trailer to an undisclosed location.

I used to run this frequently, and in the last two years have not posted much in regard to this subject. In light of the recent events, I once again will occasionally feature child molesters that work in retail establishments where children might be at risk.

Watson works at Bortolo’s Downtown Pizza & Ice Cream, 534 W. Berry Street in Fort Wayne (map). It is housed in the Westbury Apartment Building. The area is ripe with sex offenders, including several at the Fort Wayne Rescue Mission, as well as a couple that work at Fort Wayne Newspapers. Within a 3 miles radius there are over 15 sex offenders.

I’m doing some digging. In the meantime…

Tarah Souders

At a candlelight vigil held Monday, Aliahna’s stepgrandfather stated she had suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder brought by abuse she suffered on two different occasions last year in Iowa.

Below is a case against Michael Plumadore in Centerville, Iowa from November 2010 for domestic abuse against a juvenile. During this time, Aliahna and her family were also residing in Centerville, which is  where her biological father, Dawayne Maroney resides.  Maroney has acknowledged he knew Plumadore. Was Aliahna a victim of Plumadore’s in Iowa?

Plumadore was also  a registered sex offender in North Carolina. I’ve since found out this was an erroneous report, according to Corinne Rose from Indiana News Center.

Under Indiana code, it states the following, (complete publication is here).

IC 35-46-1-4
Neglect of a dependent; child selling
 Sec. 4. (a) A person having the care of a dependent, whether

assumed voluntarily or because of a legal obligation, who knowingly or intentionally:
        (1) places the dependent in a situation that endangers the dependent’s life or health;
(2) abandons or cruelly confines the dependent;
(3) deprives the dependent of necessary support; or
(4) deprives the dependent of education as required by law;
commits neglect of a dependent, a Class D felony.
(b) However, the offense is:
(1) a Class C felony if it is committed under subsection (a)(1), (a)(2), or (a)(3) and:
(A) results in bodily injury; or
(B) is:
(i) committed in a location where a person is violating IC 35-48-4-1 (delivery, financing, or manufacture of cocaine, methamphetamine, or a narcotic drug); or
(ii) the result of a violation of IC 35-48-4-1 (delivery, financing, or manufacture of cocaine, methamphetamine, or a narcotic drug);
(2) a Class B felony if it is committed under subsection (a)(1), (a)(2), or (a)(3) and results in serious bodily injury;
(3) a Class A felony if it is committed under subsection (a)(1), (a)(2), or (a)(3) by a person at least eighteen (18) years of age and results in the death of a dependent who is less than fourteen (14) years of age;

Operating under the assumption that Aliahna’s mother, Tarah Souders was even remotely aware of Plumadore’s past, should the above apply? After all, Souders’ stepfather was aware of abuse in Iowa against Aliahna This is beyond consequential in my opinion.

It’s gruesome. Click here to read it. I hope he rots in hell. He won’t last long in prison.

Pray for Aliahna and her sisters.

As I pretty much indicated in this post, the piece of shit, known as Michael Plumadore has admitted to the FBI at approximately 9:00 p.m. tonight that he murdered Aliahna Lemmon.

Burn in hell Plumadore.

Okay, here’s the latest I’ve learned. I cannot reveal my sources for obvious reasons.

From my sources, (paraphrased).  The reason the search was called off may be due to a ponderousness of facts and evidence. The FBI, needing time to obtain federal warrants, today entered the park, as well as other areas to continue the search for evidence. Note: Evidence.

I believe, based on the conversations I have had, they are no longer looking for a missing child that is alive. I know, this is terrible. I’m praying this is not the case, and my tears won’t help. Just pray for her.

Also, it seems Mr. Plumadore has had more brushes with the law, including assaulting a police officer in 2000. See here.

More as this develops.
