Prosecutors brought formal charges against Michael Plumadore Friday morning in Allen Superior Court 6. Plumadore was charged with murder, abuse of a corpse and moving body from scene.
In an interview with police, Plumadore admitted that he used a brick to hit Lemmon in the head several times. He said he then carried Lemmon's body to his home and used a hack saw to cut her into pieces.
According to the probable cause affidavit, Plumadore said he placed pieces of Lemmon's body in freezer bags before disposing of them in a dumpster at a nearby business.
Lemmon and her two sisters were staying with Plumadore for about a week while their mother was ill. Plumadore was a neighbor and a family friend.
Plumadore is being held without bond. He will appear in court for an initial hearing on January 4.
