Noelani Robinson was found dead on 15 March 2019 in Minnesota along Highway 218, about a mile north of Blooming Prairie, Minnesota.  An off-duty public works employee reported seeing a blanket and possible remains in a ditch.  Noelani was found wrapped in a blanket in the ditch! The Southern Minnesota Regional Medical Examiner’s Office ruled Noelani’s death a “homicide due to blunt force trauma to the head.”
Dariaz Higgins has been charged with killing Noelani’s mother Sierra Robinson on 11 March 2019 in Milwaukee.  I am not sure what state will be charging him with Noelani’s murder.
Deloise Lipsey traveled with Higgins prior to, and after the shooting death of Sierra Robinson on March 11. Authorities say Lipsey was with Higgins when authorities issued an Amber Alert for his 2-year-old daughter Noelani Robinson.
Lipsey said that she flew into Minnesota on 8 March and was picked up at the airport by Higgins and a guy she didn’t know. The 3 drove about 1 1/2 hours to Austin Minnesota. Higgins and Lipsey rented a room at a Rodeway Inn on the night of 8 March just outside of Austin. Investigators say Higgins gave Lipsey some marijuana and Hennessy before leaving her alone in the room by herself until the morning of March 10. Lipsey didn’t see Higgins on the day of the 9th.
Higgins and Lipsey left the hotel on March 10 on their way to Minneapolis. Higgins put her bags into the car, and he then went to his room and got the “trash” out of the room to put in the back of the car. She said that it was not unusual for them to take their trash from hotel rooms as they frequently had leftover drug evidence. After driving a short while, Higgins ordered Lipsey to pull over to the side of the road by Blooming Prairie, Minnesota, where police would eventually find Noelani Robinson’s remains. Higgins then got out, opened the rear tailgate of their car and threw a bundle out on the side of the road.
The two then drove to Minneapolis before Higgins changed the plan, saying he needed money from Rochester. From Rochester, the two drove to Milwaukee.
Investigators say Lipsey and Higgins then drove to Milwaukee. Lipsey said they got back to Milwaukee around 6 am Monday, 11 March. Higgins dropped her off near a corner store in the area of 21st and Wright around 9 am. She said she did not meet up with Higgins again until approximately 2 pm that day.
Around 1 pm Higgins killed Sierra Robinson and shot her friend!
Lipsey said after she met back up with Higgins on 11 March she got a phone call from someone who asked where she was. Lipsey said she lied and told the person on the phone with she was alone, drawing Higgins suspicion. The person on the phone told her that Higgins shotb2 women and took the child. Lipsey put the phone on speaker per Higgins request. She told the caller she was ok.
Lindsey claims she had become scared and played along with Higgins.
The two made their way to Chicago. Eventually, she said she got behind the wheel as the pair headed for Michigan early on 12 March.
Higgins had an interaction with a Livonia police officer, who Higgins later said he was going to kill because he had nothing to lose.
On 13 March investigators found the black SUV abandoned just south of the Wisconsin-Illinois border. A search warrant said a good Samaritan picked up Higgins and drove him to the rest stop in Pleasant Prairie, just inside the Wisconsin border.
Police have not revealed how they believe Higgins got to the Midpoint Motel on West Appleton Avenue where police arrested him.
Police also arrested a man who they believe had helped Higgins avoid police.
