More human remains believed those of missing woman wash up on beach

SOUTH MILWAUKEE — More human remains, including a torso believed to belong to a missing woman, have washed up on a beach along Lake Michigan, authorities said Thursday.

The torso and an arm believed to belong to 19-year-old Sade Robinson were found Thursday morning along a remote stretch of tree-lined beach in south Milwaukee, about a quarter mile from a Milwaukee County apartment complex. That’s what the Sheriff’s Office said.

The remains were found by someone walking on the beach, the office said in a news release.

Maxwell Anderson, 33, of Milwaukee has been charged with first-degree intentional homicide, mutilation of a corpse and arson in the case. A telephone message seeking comment was left Thursday afternoon for one of his attorneys, Anthony Cotton.

Anderson, of Milwaukee, was arrested April 4, two days after a leg believed to be Robinson’s was found by a passerby on a cliff in Warnimont Park along Lake Michigan in Cudahy. The leg was cut off just below the hip.

Robinson had been reported missing by a friend on April 2. An employee at the building where Robinson lived told police that Robinson was excited about a date she had planned for April 1, according to the complaint.

Surveillance footage from a restaurant showed Robinson and Anderson sitting together at the bar on the evening of April 1. Her burnt-out car was found the next morning.

Anderson is being held on a $5 million bond. A preliminary investigation is scheduled for Monday.

Anderson’s father, Steven Anderson, released a statement Thursday offering condolences to Robinson’s loved ones, saying in part that his family was “shocked and devastated by her senseless death.” The statement came out before the latest discovery of remains was made public.
