"For a parent to have to deal with this type of trauma and tragedy is inconceivable, he said. "It’s almost like I wake up to live in a nightmare every day."
He’s living with the haunting image of his 19-year-old daughter’s death.
"He’s definitely not my daughter’s type," he said. "I don’t know. I got so many questions I can’t answer."
Sade Robinson was last seen on April 1. The next day, a severed leg was found in Warnimont Park in Cudahy.

Her father was in disbelief when her mother called.
"They came here to get my DNA to match up, because they said my DNA was stronger than her mom’s so I was hoping that it wasn’t her what they found."
Sade Robinson’s car was found torched, and in the coming weeks, more body parts would be discovered across Milwaukee County.
"I want to know everything but I don’t know if I can handle it," Carlos Robsinson said. "It's devastating."
