Anderson, of Milwaukee, was arrested on April 4, 2024, two days after a leg was found by a passerby down a bluff at Warnimont Park along Lake Michigan in Cudahy. Additional human remains were found on April 5 and April 6.

Investigators believe Anderson killed Robinson on their first date on April 1, 2024, dismembered her body, and spread her remains around Milwaukee County. They also believe he burned her car to hide evidence.

Sade Robinson was 19 years old at the time of her murder. Robinson had been reported missing on April 2 by a friend.
