A 34-year-old man has been found guilty of murdering and dismembering a 19-year-old woman.
The victim, Sade Carleena Robinson, went missing after a dinner date with Maxwell Anderson in April 2024.
Anderson's phone contained graphic photos linked to the crime, including evidence of dismemberment.
A 34-year-old man in the US has been found guilty of killing and dismembering the body of a 19-year-old girl on their first date after the two watched an episode of a Netflix series with an eerily similar theme. According to the New York Post, Maxwell Anderson killed Sade Carleena Robinson in April 2024 after the two met for dinner. They went to a restaurant and a bar before Anderson invited her to his home in Milwaukee. This was the last time Robinson, a criminal justice student at Milwaukee Area Technical College, was seen alive.
The 19-year-old was reported missing the next day, when she didn't show up for her shift at a pizzeria. The police checked her home and found no trace of her. Then, on the same day, cops found her sawed-off leg on the shores of Lake Michigan, as per the outlet. They also found additional body parts, including a foot and human flesh, scattered throughout the city.
Prosecutors showed bloodied photos from Anderson's phone to prove he was the teen's killer. One deleted picture recovered by investigators captured Anderson holding Robinson's chopped-off right breast.
The jury was told that Anderson committed the heinous crime after he watched a Netflix animated series named 'Love, Death & Robots' with Robinson. One of the episodes in the series showed a dismembered corpse, which was discovered on the beach, similar to Robinson's body.
Cops also found a "sex dungeon" in Anderson's home after his arrest. In his basement, he had a "sex sling, restraints and handcuffs," police said.
Other photos on Anderson's phone included pictures of the 19-year-old inside his home. The jury described the pictures as graphic and disturbing. "That was pretty damning evidence that shook everyone. I physically felt like I was gonna throw up at that point. I know a lot of people were shaking and crying," juror Melissa Blascoe said.
Anderson is believed to have planned Robinson's killing for months, creating a space covered in a plastic tarp, the Post reported.
After committing the brutal killing, he drove Robinson's car around Milwaukee for some time before parking it in North Milwaukee and setting it on fire.
The 15-member jury took 45 minutes to reach a guilty verdict. Anderson was ultimately found guilty of first-degree intentional homicide, mutilating a corpse, hiding a corpse and arson. No motive for the killing was revealed during the trial.
The 34-year-old now faces a mandatory life sentence, but Judge Laura Crivello could sentence him to additional extended supervision.

Colombian Leader Shot At: Kidnapped By Pablo Escobar, His Journalist Mother Died During Rescue Op
Last Updated: 'Narcos' on Netflix to Gabriel Garcia Marquez's 'News of a Kidnapping', the story of Diana Turbay, a brave journalist and daughter of ex-President, and the botched rescue lives on Colombian presidential hopeful Miguel Uribe Turbay was shot at thrice, twice in the head, during a rally in Bogota on Saturday. While Uribe's wife, Maria Claudia Tarazona, said he is 'fighting for his life", a 15-year-old boy has been arrested. Uribe's father was a union leader and businessman linked to the Liberal Party. His mother, Diana Turbay, a journalist and daughter of former Colombian president Julio Cesar Turbay, was kidnapped in 1990 by a group working under drug lord Pablo Escobar's Medellin Cartel. Soy Maria Claudia Tarazona, esposa de Miguel. Miguel está luchando en estos momentos por su vida. Pidamos a Dios que guíe las manos de los doctores que están atendiéndolo. Les pido a todos unirnos en una cadena de oración por la vida de Miguel. Pongo mi Fe en Dios 🙏🏼 — Miguel Uribe (@MiguelUribeT) June 8, 2025 HOW THE BRAVE JOURNALIST WAS TRAPPED Turbay was the founder of news magazine Hoy x Hoy who was known for her refusal to sensationalise violence, a rarity in Colombia's world of drug cartels at the time. Turbay, five other journalists and cameraman Richard Becerra were kidnapped on August 30, 1990, when she was tricked into going to a supposed interview with a guerrilla leader, the Spanish priest Manuel Pérez Martínez, alias El Cura Pérez from the ELN (National Liberation Army) in Antioquia. The guerrillas were members of Escobar-linked Los Priscos. She was held at a remote ranch in Copacabana, north of Medellin. She smuggled out letters, encouraged the release of another journalist and even won the respect of those who guarded her. DEATH MIRED IN CONTROVERSY On January 25, 1991, the Colombian police launched an operation to rescue her, without informing Turbay's family, which they botched up. Turbay was hit by a bullet in her back, which partially destroyed her liver and left kidney. Becerra was rescued unharmed. It was never confirmed whether the fatal shot came from her captors or the police, but the operation was widely condemned.

‘That might explain the black eye': Did Elon Musk get beaten up by Scott Bessent? Social media reacts
Internet had a field day after reports claimed that Elon Musk was involved in a physical altercation with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent inside the White House, leading to a storm of memes and speculation, with many wondering if that's how the billionaire ended up with a black eye. According to the New York Post, the clash happened in mid-April when both men presented competing plans for the Internal Revenue Service to US President Donald Trump . The Washington Post quoted former White House adviser Steve Bannon as saying the president ultimately backed Bessent's proposal, sparking tension. The situation escalated after the meeting. Bannon told the Washington Post that Musk and Bessent left the room hurling insults near the Oval Office. 'Scott said, 'You're a fraud. You're a total fraud,' Bannon recalled, referencing Musk's aggressive push to cut $1 trillion in government spending as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Things then allegedly turned physical. 'The verbal spat turned allegedly physical when the tech billionaire rammed his shoulder into Bessent's rib cage 'like a rugby player,' prompting the treasury chief to fight back,' the paper said Bannon claimed.

'President Trump heard about it and said, 'This is too much.'' As the story gained traction, users across platforms shared their reactions.

Scott Bessent is openly gay and has been married to former New York City prosecutor John Freeman since 2011. As reports of the altercation emerged during Pride Month in June, social media had a field day imagining the world's richest man getting beaten up by a gay banker. Here are some of the social media reactions: Steve Bannon has also called for a federal probe into Musk's immigration status, saying he should be deported 'immediately.'

The Many Deaths of Nora Dalmasso OTT Release Date: When and where to watch the chilling three-part docu-series
The Many Deaths of Nora Dalmasso OTT Release Date: Netflix is bringing one of Argentina's most haunting and controversial true crime stories to the global stage. The Many Deaths of Nora Dalmasso, a chilling three-part documentary series, will premiere worldwide on June 19, exclusively on Netflix. This is a detailed and deeply human look into the murder that shocked an entire nation, the 2006 killing of Nora Dalmasso, a woman who was as much a victim of brutal violence as she was of social and media persecution. The crime that shook Argentina On a November night in 2006, Nora Dalmasso, a 51-year-old socialite and mother of two, was found dead in her home in Río Cuarto, Córdoba, Argentina. She had been strangled with the belt of a bathrobe and left in her daughter's bedroom. What followed wasn't just a police investigation, but a two-decade-long media circus. In the absence of solid evidence, the country speculated wildly, questioning her character, her marriage, her family, and ultimately, turning her death into national gossip. But amidst this fog of tabloid noise, The Many Deaths of Nora Dalmasso attempts to restore clarity and dignity. Behind the camera Directed by Jamie Crawford, The Many Deaths of Nora Dalmasso is produced by Pulse Films, the studio behind Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts and Gangs of London. Crawford's personal connection to the Río Cuarto community gave him unique access to the people and places central to this case. His aim? To peel away the media frenzy and get to the heart of who Nora really was - a mother, a wife, a friend - and how those who loved her have carried the weight of an unresolved tragedy. The Many Deaths of Nora Dalmasso is executive produced by Jamie Crawford and Tom Keeling, with Rosie Taylor as the production lead. Cast of real voices What makes this documentary stand out is the intimate access to those at the centre of the storm. Speaking on-camera for the first time in nearly 20 years are: Facundo Macarrón – Nora's son Valentina Macarrón – Nora's daughter Marcelo Macarrón – Nora's husband and, at one point, a suspect Cecilia Balbo – Nora's friend Daniel Zabala – Police biochemist Juan Carlos Jaime – Forensic geneticist Gustavo Liebau – Family lawyer Julio Rivero – Chamber prosecutor Denise Audrito, Pablo Ferrari, Hernán Vaca Narvaja, Liliana Caruso – Journalists who reported on the case Expect chills. Expect anger. And expect a story that will stay with you long after the final episode. The Many Deaths of Nora Dalmasso drops on Netflix this June 19.
