A Wisconsin man has been found guilty of the gruesome death and dismemberment of a 19-year-old Mississippi native whose dismembered remains were discovered across multiple locations in Wisconsin.
Maxwell Anderson was found guilty on all charges, including first-degree intentional homicide, mutilating a corpse, arson, and concealing a corpse. After a two-week trial, the jury returned its decision in less than 30 minutes.
Sade Robinson, 19, a Vicksburg native, was last seen on April 1, 2024, after going on his first date with Anderson and returning home. She was not seen alive again.
The next day, Robinson’s severed limb was discovered near Warnimont Park in Cudahy, Wisconsin. On April 6, investigators found more of her remains near the scene where her automobile had caught fire.
Anderson was arrested on April 4 and has been in detention since.
Following the verdict, Robinson’s mother, Sheena Scarbrough, spoke out about her daughter’s memory.
“She will forever be remembered as an angel,” Scarbrough said. “A life worker who has touched so many souls, so many lives in the Milwaukee community. She is our hero.”
Anderson’s attorney, Tony Cotton, said they respect the jury’s decision: “Everybody had the night to think about things.”
Anderson is set to be sentenced on August 15. He risks at least 20 years in prison.
