Mystery has taken over Milwaukee County as human body parts have been discovered in three separate instances since last Tuesday.
In the latest grisly discovery on Saturday, the Milwaukee Police Department said they are investigating unidentified human remains found in the area of North 30th Street and West Galena Street.
It comes after an unspecified human body part was discovered a few blocks away near North 30th Street and Lisbon Avenue, and a severed leg was found on the lakefront near Warnimont Park in Cudahy on Tuesday.
Officials in Milwaukee have not said if the three discoveries are related, but fears have arisen that the remains may have belonged to missing teen Sade Carleena Robinson.
The family of Robinson spent much of their Saturday searching an area near 30th Street and Lisbon Avenue after the 19-year-old vanished on April 1.
There, they discovered her blanket and said the area where the remains were discovered was in the same place Robinson’s car was found torched the morning of April 2.
Milwaukee Police and the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner’s Office responded, quickly setting up a crime scene.
Robinson’s cousin told TMJ4 that following the discovery of the missing woman’s car, there was no sign of the student anywhere.
‘When we came to look for her, we didn’t come looking for body parts. We were coming to look for her, yelling her name. We hear about the body part, and there’s a little less hope,’ she said.
The teen’s family grew more and more concerned as the Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office revealed that more remains had been unearthed on April 6 – just across the street from where Robinson’s car was found.
Robinson’s mother, Sheena Scarbrough, told WISN that her daughter texted her the afternoon of April 1 and asked for $15, which she thought was ‘very unusual’.
Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office arrested a person of interest in connection to the leg discovery on Thursday and claimed they were investigating the scene in nearby Cudahy as a homicide.
