Maxwell Anderson's trial in the murder of Sade Robinson is underway. Here's what to know
Over a year after 19-year-old college student Sade Carleena Robinson was reported missing, Maxwell S. Anderson will stand trial for her murder. Anderson, 34, has been charged with killing and dismembering Robinson, who was last seen April 1, 2024. In the weeks after she was reported missing, severed human remains were discovered around Milwaukee County, and her car was found burned. According to court records, Robinson was last seen alive on a date with Anderson. He was arrested shortly after she disappeared and has remained in jail since. Here's what to know about the case and charges against Anderson as his trial get underway. Robinson was a student at Milwaukee Area Technical college, a month away from earning an associates degree in criminal justice. As a student, she worked at Pizza Shuttle on Milwaukee's east side. Growing up, Robinson split time between Milwaukee and Florida, where her father lives, but began living in Milwaukee full-time as a teenager. She went on to attend Riverside High School, where she graduated a semester early in December 2021. Anderson grew up in suburban Waukesha County and graduated from Pewaukee High School in 2009. His long history of legal trouble began as a teenager, when he was caught underage drinking on multiple occasions, ran from police several times, and received citations for property damage and obstructing an officer. In Milwaukee, Anderson worked as a bartender and security guard at various clubs and bars in the city, including The Rave and Victor's Nightclub. Robinson was reported missing by a coworker on April 2, 2024. The following morning, a severed human leg was discovered near Lake Michigan in Cudahy. In the ensuing weeks, other body parts belonging to or believed to belong to Robinson were discovered throughout Milwaukee County. On April 1, 2024, Robinson told a building secretary in her apartment she was going on a date that night, according to the criminal complaint, which is based on surveillance footage, cell phone records and witness statements. Robinson's cell phone records show she arranged to meet someone at 5 p.m. that night at the Twisted Fisherman restaurant. Workers at the restaurant told investigators that Robinson was there with Anderson, a former employee. The two left the restaurant shortly before 6:30 p.m. and went to Duke's on Water. After 9 p.m., they went to Anderson's home on the 3100 block of South 39th Street. Around 12:45 a.m., cell phone records show Robinson's phone left the area, went to Pleasant Valley Park in the Riverwest neighborhood, and then to the Warnimont Park area in Cudahy — where the severed leg was found the next day. Robinson's phone stayed in the Warnimont Park area until its battery died shortly after 4:30 a.m. Surveillance video also shows Robinson's Honda Civic at the park until 4:30 a.m. A person was seen walking down a bluff and back to the area of the car several times, according to the complaint. At 7:32 a.m. April 2, Robinson's burned Honda Civic was found near West Lisbon Avenue and North 29th Street in Milwaukee. Using video and witness statements, police identified Anderson as the suspect who burned the vehicle. Anderson was charged with first-degree intentional homicide, mutilation of a corpse and arson on April 12, 2024. He has been unable to post the $5 million bond for his release and has remained in the county jail since his April 4, 2024 arrest. Anderson pleaded not guilty to the charges. Anderson's defense team includes Anthony Cotton, a Waukesha-based criminal defense attorney who rose to prominence after representing one of the adolescents charged in the 'Slender Man' stabbings. In November 2024, Cotton said the defense plans to argue someone other than their client killed Robinson. Assistant District Attorney Ian Vance-Curzan is the lead prosecutor in the case against Maxwell Anderson. Among other murder cases, he prosecuted Sultan Shareef in the 2022 murder of 20-year-old Kania Brunson. Anderson's trial is scheduled to start 9 a.m. on Tuesday, May 27. It was originally set for December 2024, then postponed. The trial will be held in the Milwaukee County Safety Building, part of the county's Courthouse Complex. Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Laura Crivello will preside over the trial. The trial is expected to last two weeks. Anderson has a criminal history that includes misdemeanor convictions of disorderly conduct and domestic violence across three cases from 2014 to 2019. In two incidents, he destroyed property at the home of relatives in Waukesha and Door counties, including stealing his mother's car and crashing it into the house's back deck. In 2019, he was charged in Milwaukee with beating a 56-year-old stranger, who tried to intervene when he saw Anderson and a woman arguing on the street. For these and other offenses, Anderson was placed on probation for periods of time, spent stints in jail and temporarily lost his driver's license.
