A nationwide Amber Alert came to a tragic end Friday (March 15) when the body of 2-year-old Noelani Robinson was found wrapped inside of a blanket and placed in a Minnesota ditch. The Southern Minnesota Regional Medical Examiner’s Office deduced little Noelani had been there for some time and died of blunt force trauma.
Authorities aren’t sure how the child got into the ditch and if she was killed elsewhere, however, they suspect her father, 34-year-old Dariaz Higgins, who killed her mother, 24-year-old Sierra Robinson on Monday may have placed her there.
According to reports, Robinson became pregnant with Noelani while Higgins was her pimp. The couple stayed together after the child’s birth but Robinson later decided to end the relationship and moved to Las Vegas last month leaving Noelani with Higgins
After getting settled, Robinson began trying to see Noelani. On March 9, she reportedly flew back to Milwaukee and stayed with a friend identified as LP. Two days later, Higgins agreed to let Robinson see the child. Higgins picked up Robinson and LP and they reportedly drove around “talked about old times” and smoked marijuana.
Higgins then drove them to a nearby hotel where he shot Robinson in the chest and LP several times. Robinson died, but LP survived and gave authorities a statement. Milwaukee Police Chief Alfonso Morales called Higgins ” a stone-cold killer,” with ties “all the way down to Miami, Florida, and Las Vegas, Nevada. Kansas City. He’s been all over the place.”
Higgins confessed to killing Robinson. He’s charged with first-degree murder but they’re hoping in a forthcoming interview he’ll offer details in his daughter’s killing.
