A father who pleaded with the public for help finding his eight-year-old daughter after she went missing in September has been arrested for killing her.
Hiawayi Robinson, who was found dead behind an abandoned building in Prichard, Alabama two days after she went missing, died as she was being sexually abused by her father, authorities said.
Hiawatha Robinson, 38, was arrested on charges of first-degree sodomy and murder on Tuesday afternoon, and if convicted, he faces up to life in prison for each charge.
'The facts will show that while engaging in sodomy in the first degree, Hiawatha Robinson Jr. caused the death of Hiawayi Robinson,' Mobile County District Attorney Ashley Rich said while announcing the charges at a press conference on Tuesday afternoon.
After she was reported missing, the authorities and the community searched for her, and her parents, who are separated, appeared on television to appeal for information.
'I'm going through pain,' Robinson told Fox10 as he stood beside her mother, Yosha Populus.
'I've been up for the last 24 hours, I've been up all night searching for her - ain't had anything to eat, anything to drink, I ain't going to stop until it's over with - until she's in her home. That's all I want, that's all I ask for.'
When asked what he thought might have happened to her, he said: 'Nothing.'
'I don't believe nothing happened to her,' he said. 'I believe she's out there. She's out there. They just need to let her come home. Her daddy gonna find out what the f*** going on.'
Her mother also pleaded for information as she stood beside the girl's father.
So many dark souls out there in the world,doing the devil's work,only a possessed man would do this to his own little daughter.May the little angel rest in peace.Parents are meant to protect their children and not hurt or kill them,what a shame.
