A prosecutor in  Indiana isn't sayingwhether anyone besides a man who is already in custody is suspected in the death of a 9-year-old girl -- but he says "nothing has been ruled out."
The man who's facing charges in the death of Aliahna Lemmon is a neighbor of the girl's family -- someone who relatives say was considered trustworthy. Investigators say he has admitted killing the girl last week while she and her two younger sisters were staying with him. Their mother had been sick with the flu.

Investigators say Michael Plumadore told them he beat the girl to death with a brick and later chopped up her body and hid parts in his freezer. There's no word on what prompted the killing.

Plumadore has not yet been formally charged, but a judge has ordered him held without bail.

A former manager of the trailer park where the girl and her accused killer lived says she never would have guessed that Plumadore might kill a child.

The school that the young girl attended is closed for the holiday break -- but school officials expect extra counselors to be made available when students return in January.
