On April 2, a sense of unease settled over a Wisconsin pizza restaurant as 19-year-old Sade Robinson failed to show up for her shift. Robinson, a vibrant and outgoing college student, had been eagerly anticipating a first date with Maxwell Anderson, 33, at a local seafood restaurant the night before.
Robinson's excitement for the date was evident as she texted Anderson about her craving for seafood and headed out to meet him, dressed in ripped jeans and a white shirt. However, when she didn't show up for work the next day, her co-workers knew something was amiss.
Concerned friends and authorities launched a search for Robinson, leading to a series of harrowing discoveries. Robinson's burned vehicle was found the morning after her date with Anderson, with her outfit and a part of her iPhone identified in the wreckage.
Further investigation led to the grim finding of a human leg on a beach in Warnimont Park, which was later confirmed to belong to Robinson through DNA evidence. Subsequent searches in the area uncovered additional remains, including a foot and what appeared to be human flesh, all believed to be from the same individual.
Phone records traced Robinson's movements on the night of April 1, from the seafood restaurant to a sports bar, then to Anderson's home, and finally to the park where her remains were discovered. Anderson now faces charges of homicide, mutilation of a corpse, and arson in connection with Robinson's tragic death.
The community mourns the loss of a bright young woman, and the investigation into this heartbreaking case continues as authorities work to uncover the full extent of the tragedy.
