Fort Wayne 9 year old Killed.

Here's the statement in its entirety:.

"On Monday, December 26,
2011, the Allen County Sheriff's Department and other law enforcement
agencies developed significant leads into the investigation of a missing
9-year-old Fort Wayne girl, Aliahna Lemmon. With reason to believe that
a deceased child was nearby, the Allen County Coroner's office and
other forensic investigators responded to two separate locations, one of
which was the Northway mobile home park near North Clinton Street and
Diebold Road, from where Aliahna had disappeared, and another at a
nearby convenience store/gas station. Human remains believed to be that
of a female juvenile were found at both locations. Officials from the
Allen County Coroner's office and police crime scene technicians
painstakingly documented the areas and recovered evidence. The remains
were transported to the Northeast Indiana Forensic Center."

"The major part of an
autopsy was conducted today at the Northeast Indiana Forensic Center,
but the forensic examination will not be completed until sometime
tomorrow. Positive confirmation of the identity of the remains will be
accomplished through DNA analysis, but investigators are confident that
the decedent is Aliahna."

"Investigators believe
that the perpetrator of this horrific crime systematically dismembered
Aliahna after her death, and then placed her body parts into several
plastic bags, some of which were recovered at his residence, while
others were recovered from a dumpster at the convenience store."

"Results of the autopsy
today are pending until the examination can be completed tomorrow. While
the cause of death has not been ruled yet, the manner of death is
homicide. Aliahna is the 24th homicide victim in Fort Wayne and Allen
County in 2011."

"The investigation is
continuing by the Allen County Prosecutor's office, the Allen County
Sheriff's Department, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Allen
County Coroner's Office."
