A missing 9-year-old Indiana girl, Aliahna Lemmon, was found dead on Monday night. She had been reported missing on Friday evening. The details of her death are incredibly gruesome.

The neighbor who had been watching Aliahna, 39-year-old Mike Plumadore, was interviewed by police and taken into custody at 9 p.m. and charged with murder on Monday night. Plumadore had been watching Aliahna and her sisters before she was reported missing. Plumadore told investigators on Monday where the girl’s body could be found.

Police say Plumadore bludgeoned Aliahna with a brick, then dismembered her with a hacksaw.

After beating Aliahna Lemmon to death last Thursday, Michael Plumadore told police he stuffed her body into trash bags and hid her in his freezer, according to an affidavit filed by the Allen County sheriff’s department. Plumadore said he later chopped up her body, stuffed her remains into freezer bags and hid some at his trailer and some at a nearby business. Read the full article »

Mom Arrested for Trying to Sell Baby for $7,000

What is the cost for a black market baby these days? Apparently, for a Miami mother, $7,000 was enough for the sale of her eight-month old son.

Kenia Quiala Bosque, 30, was arrested Sunday after an investigation by the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office and Florida Department of Law Enforcement. She was charged with adoption violation.

Bosque had arranged to meet a Monroe County man in Miami on Saturday to exchange the child for the money.

When the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office received a tip about the transaction, the FDLE arranged to have an undercover agent be at the baby handoff. Authorities said the FDLE has four recorded conversations with her and the undercover officer.

Bosque failed to show up for the exchange. Fearing for the child’s safety and well-being, deputies and agents went to her home and had enough evidence to make an arrest, authorities said.

Bosque was booked into Miami-Dade County jail and was being held on $5,000 bond on Monday.

Her two other children were placed in the custody of relatives, authorities said.

Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle called the situation “a sign of the times,” when referring to why Bosque may have tried to sell her child.

I know people are desperate in these tough economic times and many have had to sell personal belongings to pay the rent - but selling your own child – that is beyond comprehension. Had this mother been successful in selling her baby, I believe it would have only been a matter of time before family members intervened and tried to locate the missing child. Did this woman think no one would notice she was short one child?

The case of a 7-year-old New Mexico boy who went missing while walking home from a friend’s house 11 years ago remains a mystery: DNA tests show that a 19-year-old who said he might be the boy isn’t him, authorities announced Friday.

The 19-year-old, who identified himself as Robert Terrezas, had indicated that he could be the missing child and allowed investigators to take a DNA sample on Thursday.

An analysis on the sample confirmed he was not the missing boy, Robbie Romero, Santa Fe police officials said at a press conference Friday.

“The missing person case of Robbie Romero remains open,” Police Chief Ray Rael said. Read the full article »

An 8-year-old boy with severe autism was found Tuesday after being missing and alone for more than 24 hours in the San Bernardino Mountains.

Joshua Robb appeared to be in good condition when search and rescue workers found him about a mile from the school he ran away from Monday.

Joshua was given food and water by search and rescue workers until a medic could be lowered by helicopter to assess his health and he is airlifted out of the area.

About 60 searchers from four counties, aided by dogs and helicopters, scoured the mountain area in the search, playing recorded music and his father’s voice in hopes of luring him to safety. Read the full article »
