Indiana Girl Missing From Trailer Park Known for Sex Offenders Dec 26th 2011, 21:59 Dec 26, 2011 4:59pm   Email Smaller Font Text Larger Text | Print A 9-year-old girl is missing from her mobile home park in Fort Wayne, Ind., where at least 15 registered sex offenders live, according to the Associated Press. Police have been searching for Aliahna Lemmon since she went missing last Friday, and now the FBI has joined the investigation. Monday morning, Corporal Jeremy Tinkel with the Allen County Sheriff's Department said there are no leads, suspects or tips that have pushed the Allen County Sheriff's Department in a new direction, but the case has not gone cold, according to ABC News affiliate  INC Now. "We have people working around the clock. We have detectives that are assigned to this. We're personally committed as a department to finding this girl and being able to bring her home. That's our job, and that's our focus. That's what we want to do," Tinkel said. Aliahna's mother has been very ill and Aliahna and her two younger sisters were in the care of a neighbor last week, according to a family member. Aliahna was last seen sleeping in a chair at the neighbor's house, police said. A state website says 15 registered sex offenders reside at the Northway Mobile Home Park, according to the AP. Allen County Sheriff Ken Fries said police have already interviewed each offender, and none of them are suspects. "We're not going to rule out anything as far as foul play. Maybe she's just at a friend's house," said Ken Fries, Allen County Sheriff. "We're hoping somebody sees this and says, 'Oh Aliahna's at our house, come get her.'" Police set up a mobile dispatch center on Friday at the mobile home park.  Police officers, FBI agents and volunteer firefighters are searching the area by car and the nearby river by boat. A candlelight vigil is being held tonight for Aliahna in Fort Wayne. A page has been set up on Facebook for the missing girl called "Find Aliahna Marie Maroney Lemmon Missing from Fort Wayne, Indiana."  On Sunday, the group posted, "Merry Christmas Aliahna where ever you are! We won't give up on you!" "No kid should be missing Christmas!" the post read. Police are asking anyone with information to call (260) 446-2543.
