Sade Robinson had been excited for her date. The 19-year-old had arranged to meet up with a man at a local Milwaukee seafood restaurant on the evening of 1 April. Some time that later night she sent a Snapchat to a friend from a bar near by. It was the last time she was seen alive.

The next day, police were called after a passer-by discovered a severed leg on a beach in Warnimont Park. The limb was cut off just below the hip socket and “appeared to have been sawn off”. The toes on the feet were painted with pink nail polish.
