Milwaukee – Milwaukee Police Chief Jeffrey Norman announced in a news conference Friday morning that Maxwell Anderson, 33, of Milwaukee, has been charged with three felonies related to the murder and dismemberment of Sade Robinson. 

Per a criminal complaint filed Friday by the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office, officials said Anderson intentionally killed Robinson, mutilated her remains, and set fire to her car in an attempt to obscure potential evidence of the killing.

A Wisconsin man was formally charged with killing and dismembering the missing 19-year-old woman after body parts were discovered across Milwaukee County, officials announced on Friday. 

Preliminary DNA testing of partial human remains found in Warnimont Park in Cudahy, Wisconsin, on April 2, determined they belonged to Robinson.

Officials said subsequent investigation revealed that Robinson had been reported missing, turned up additional human remains in the city of Milwaukee, and led investigators to Anderson, whose phone records and other evidence showed he had communicated with Robinson and gone to dinner with her the evening before the first set of remains were discovered.

“Not all of Robinson’s remains have been found,” authorities said.

Milwaukee County Sheriff Denita Ball commended the Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office Investigative Services Bureau for working round-the-clock to solve this case since first being notified by Cudahy Police on April 2, that partial human remains had been discovered in Warnimont Park.

“I would like to thank our detectives and ISB supervisors, as well as MPD investigators, for their diligent work,” Ball said.

“With little rest and a great deal of pressure, they have remained focused and relentless, 24 hours a day.

Their efforts to carefully build this case with a host of other partners to locate and tie together evidence, will go a long way towards bringing justice and, hopefully, peace to the family and loved ones of Sade Robinson.”

Officials said less than a week after finding the severed human leg in Warnimont Pakr in Cudahy, other human remains were found at three other scenes in Milwaukee County.
