A missing Fort Wayne girl has been added to a national website for missing children.
A poster for Aliahna Marie Maroney Lemmon is now on the National Center for Missing Exploited Children site at www.missingkids.com.
No new information has been released since Saturday about the missing 9-year-old girl, who was last seen Friday morning. Aliahna and her 6- and 8-year-old sisters had been staying with a family friend in a mobile home park near North Clinton Street and Diebold Road because their mother was sick. The friend told police he saw Aliahna around 6 a.m. Friday. He didn’t realize she was missing until Friday night.
According to police scanner traffic early Saturday morning, an Allen County Sheriff’s Department K-9 track had been unsuccessful and several police officers and firefighters searched a 5-mile radius for the girl, including talking to employees at businesses near the mobile home park. The search ended Saturday and several “Missing” posters have gone up around Fort Wayne. A tip line has been established for the public to call to report any information.
Cpl. Jeremy Tinkel, a spokesman for the Allen County Sheriff Department, said Saturday afternoon that the Indiana State Police and other agencies, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, had joined Allen County police officers and firefighters in investigating what might have happened to Aliahna, who reportedly was last seen around 6 a.m. Friday. She wasn’t reported missing until 8:45 p.m.
She was last seen wearing a blue-and-black plaid coat with furlike trim and a silver-and-white sweater dress with white tights and black shoes with bows. She was described as having freckles and a birthmark on her neck, blond hair past her shoulders and blue eyes, 4 feet tall and weighing 42 pounds.
