They were his 'three little princesses.' These are the chilling pictures of murdered nine-year-old Aliahna Lemmon that her 'killer' posted on Facebook one month before he allegedly bashed her in the head with a brick, hacked her to pieces with a handsaw and kept her head in his freezer. Suspect Michael Plumadore posted a photo of Alaihna standing alongside her sisters - one he was able to take because he had gained the trust of the family after befriending her grandfather James Lemmon. Lemmon and Pulmadore pair knew each because they were both sex offenders and were in jail together. On his Facebook page, Plumadore has several chilling pictures of the disabled girl who captured national attention when she went missing from a trailer park in Fort Wayne, Indiana, Thursday night. Chilling: Michael Plumadore, who allegedly murdered and dismembered 9-year-old Aliahna Lemmon (far right), posted this photo of her and her two sisters on Facebook with the words 'Three Little Princesses' Why did he do it? Plumadore, 39,  (seen in his Facebook profile photo, left, and his arrest mug shot, right) was a close family friend who Aliahna's mother trusted to look after her three daughters at his mobile home . She and her two sisters were staying with Plumadore, 39, at his trailer while her mother recovered from the flu. Richard . Patee, 58, whose trailer is next to where Plumadore was living, said he . didn't think it was odd that Aliahna's mother had him watching the . girls for an extended period. 'They . had known each other for somewhere of three to four years, I know that, . and he took care of their grandfather,' Patee said. 'I didn't see any . reason to question it at all.' Shumaker . said it wasn't unusual for Plumadore to watch Souders' children 'because the kids liked him.' Souders and Aliahna were listed among . nearly 600 friends on a Facebook page listed under Plumadore's name that . said he was "Self Employed and Loving It!", and enjoyed fantasy novels. The day after Christmas, Plumadore . calmly admitted to detectives that he had committed an unimaginably . horrific crime: Brutally killing young Aliahna and then dismembering her . body so he could dispose of it. He led detectives to a dumpster at a nearby business where they found pieces of her torso, arms and legs that had been cut up with a hack saw and stuffed into garbage bags. In his freezer, an even more grizzly find -- little Aliahna's head, hands and feet. 'It’s disturbing... This is one of those things that you will never forget,' Sheriff Kenny Fries told the Mail Online. In 30 years of law enforcement, he said, he has never seen anything like what happened to Aliahna. And he hopes he never does again. Plumador's Facebook photos reveal that he spent time with the girls at a riverside park in Fort Wayne and was at their home, as well. One especially horrifying picture was of the three girls leaning against a railing labeled simply 'Three Princesses,' which was uploaded in late November. All of the pictures were in an online album called 'The kids.' Trusted: Plumadore met the girls after he moved in with their grandfather, who died this month. He was still living at the grandfather's trailer when he was arrested . Sheriff Fries said detectives have a good idea why he killed Aliahna, but the lawman would not discuss Plumador's motive. Plumadore cracked during his third interview with police. Detectives had spoken with him twice before  and he had given no indication that he was responsible for Aliahna's disappearance, sheriff Fries said. The bogus story he first gave to detectives was that he had seen the girl sleeping in his chair at 6am Thursday when he got up to buy a cigar at a nearby convenience store. He was awakened  realized she was gone when Aliahna's mother called him at 10am, he claimed. He told police he thought that she had left with her mother so she wasn't reported missing until almost 9pm Thursday. Disabled: Aliahna was hard of hearing and had vision problems. She was suffered from ADHD and had emotional trouble, her family said. Sheriff Fries said he and his detectives didn't believe his story but they had nothing but his word to go on. Until Monday. The day after Christmas, detectives 'finally hit the right chords' and Plumadore came clean. He said used a brick to beat Aliahna in the back of the head multiple times as she stood on the steps outside his trailer. He then wrapped her body in several garbage bags and put it her his freezer, according to court documents. Despite the confession, the little girl's grandmother, Amber Story, stood by Plumadore. 'I don't care what anybody says. Mike did nothing to her. He loves those girls,' she told the News-Sentinel. Online: Michael Plumadore's Facebook page has several photos of little Aliahna that are viewable by the public . On Monday, FBI agents descended on the rundown mobile home park in Fort Wayne where Aliahna lived. The park is a known haven for . registered sex offenders, though Plumadore isn't on Indiana's registered . sex offenders list. He has a criminal record in Florida and North . Carolina that includes convictions for trespassing and assault. More than 100 emergency workers . searched Saturday for Aliahna around the mobile home park, where she was . last seen. Sheriff's deputies, police officers . and firefighters fanned out in the area around the trailer park where . she disappeared, searching on ATVs and on foot. An airplane circled the . area. But Sheriff Ken Fries called off the hunt for Sunday, Christmas Day, and ordered only limited searches of area ponds on Monday. 'Family friend': Mike Plumadore, 39, was interviewed by police and taken into custody at 9pm Monday and charged with murder . Frightening: According to a state website, 15 registered sex offenders live at the mobile home park that numbers about two dozen homes . Sheriff Fries told the Mail Online . searchers exhausted every possible hiding place in a one-mile radius . around the trailer where she disappeared. 'I had dead-bolted the door. When I got back, all the girls was [sic] here.' Mike Plumadore said he left Aliahna and her sisters in his mobile home Friday morning to buy a cigar . He didn't see any good in using the . manpower to lead further widespread hunts for the girl, who was feared . dead as federal authorities took over. About a half-dozen officers in black . windbreakers, several of whom identified themselves as FBI agents . subsequently arrived, some with search dogs were seen at a nearby . storage facility. Agents at the scene wouldn't say why . the FBI was involved. An agency spokesman did not immediately return . phone calls and e-mails seeking comment.
