MPD Sade Robinson, the missing Milwaukee woman.
Sade Robinson is a criminal justice student at Milwaukee Area Technical College in Wisconsin who was reported missing since April 1. The Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Department is now accusing bartender Maxwell Anderson of murdering her and mutilating her body.
Fears grew for her safety after body parts were discovered in three different locations throughout the Milwaukee area. The Sheriff’s Department now says a severed leg found in a Cudahy park is likely Robinson.
The intensity of the situation also grew as police took a person of interest, a local bartender named Maxwell Anderson, into custody in connection with the discovery of the severed leg.
Anderson appeared in a Milwaukee County courtroom on April 9, where a judge allowed an extra 72 hours to hold him. On April 12, he was formally accused of murdering Robinson and mutilating her body, the Sheriff’s Department wrote in a statement, adding that Anderson and Robinson went out to dinner the night before the first body part was found.
“You have to prepare for the worst, and pray for the best, and worst case scenario, Sade is not with us anymore. Right now, I just want justice from the person that did this to her because nobody deserves to have body parts found in different parts of Wisconsin like this,” David Scarbrough II, Robinson’s uncle, told WISN-TV.
