Ep. 031 | The Murder of Sade Robinson

On April 1st, Sade Carleena Robinson went on a date with 33-year-old Maxwell Anderson, who she presumably met on a dating app. After dinner, Anderson allegedly lured Sade to his home where he (allegedly) threatened her with a gun and forced her into his basement, which he had prepared beforehand by covering the ceiling, floors, and walls with plastic tarps. He then allegedly murdered and dismembered Sade, before scattering her remains around the Milwaukee area. Anderson is set to stand trial for the crimes in May of 2025.
