Milwaukee man watched creepy Netflix episode on first date, then killed teen the same way
A Wisconsin man was found guilty on Saturday of killing and dismembering the body of a 19-year-old student on their first date after the two watched a Netflix documentary with an eerily similar theme.
34-year-old Maxwell Anderson killed Sade Carleena Robinson, a criminal justice student, in April 2024 murder after the two met for dinner. They went out to a restaurant and bar before Anderson invited her back to his Milwaukee home. This was the last time she was seen alive.
The next day, she did not show up to work at a local pizzeria and was reported missing. The police checked her home and found no trace of her.
Police found a leg that matched her DNA, along with other body parts like a foot and human flesh scattered throughout the city.
Prosecutors showed bloodied photos recovered from Anderson's phone to prove he was the killer. The images, initially deleted by Anderson, showed him holding one of Robinson's chopped-off breasts. Describing it as 'his trophy', juror Melissa Blascoe told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that the pictures will be in her mind "for quite some time.'
The jury was also told that Anderson turned on a Netflix animated series named 'Love, Death & Robots" the night he brought Robinson home. One of the episodes in the series showed a dismembered corpse, which was discovered on the beach.
Police also discovered a 'sex dungeon' in Anderson's home with "a sex sling, restraints and handcuffs." The photos found on the phone physically affected people in the courtroom, some of whom were shaking and crying, Blascoe added.
Anderson is believed to have spent months planning the murder, even preparing a space lined with plastic sheeting.
According to Associated Press, surveillance video shows Anderson driving Robinson's car to a county park near Lake Michigan. It is here that he cut her body into pieces, prosecutors argued, before setting her car on fire and taking a bus back to his apartment.
The 15-member jury took 45 minutes to reach a guilty verdict. Anderson has been found guilty of first-degree intentional homicide, mutilating a corpse, hiding a corpse and arson. No motive behind the killing has been revealed yet. Anderson faces a mandatory life sentence on August 15.

US Man Found Guilty Of Killing And Dismembering Teen College Student On First Date
Inside the man's basement, authorities uncovered what they described as a 'sex dungeon,' complete with a sling, restraints, and other paraphernalia. A 34-year-old man in Milwaukee, US, has been found guilty of killing and dismembering a 19-year-old college student on their first date. According to the New York Post, Maxwell Anderson killed Sade Carleena Robinson in April 2024 after the two met for dinner. The woman's remains were discovered in multiple locations along the Lake Michigan shoreline, days after she failed to show up for work. According to prosecutors, the two had gone out for dinner and drinks before heading back to the man's apartment. When the woman didn't return home or report to her job the next day, she was reported missing. Hours later, a severed leg—later identified through DNA testing—was found on the lakefront. Investigators soon discovered a disturbing trail of evidence, including dismembered body parts scattered across the area, surveillance footage placing the woman at the suspect's home, and photos on the man's phone depicting parts of her body. Inside the man's basement, authorities uncovered what they described as a 'sex dungeon," complete with a sling, restraints, and other paraphernalia. Prosecutors also noted that on the night of the killing, the pair had watched an episode of Love, Death & Robots—one centred on a dismembered body washing ashore, eerily mirroring the events that followed. The jury deliberated for just 45 minutes before finding the man guilty of first-degree intentional homicide, mutilating a corpse, hiding a corpse, and arson. Prosecutors said he had planned the killing weeks in advance, preparing his home with plastic sheeting and tools. 'Sade will continue to walk with me daily and right beside me," the victim's mother, Sheena Scarbrough, said after the verdict. 'She will forever be remembered as an angel." The man is scheduled to be sentenced on August 15. He faces life in prison without the possibility of parole. First Published: June 07, 2025, 23:42 IST
