1:15

I guys This is episode four

1:17

hundred of Going West. So

1:19

let's get into it. In

2:11

April of 2024, an incredibly

2:13

bright and beloved 19-year-old woman

2:15

went missing after going on

2:17

a first date with a

2:19

man in Milwaukee. When

2:22

her dismembered leg was found off

2:24

a bluff of Lake Michigan and

2:26

her car ablaze on the other

2:28

side of town, security

2:30

footage and phone pings helped

2:32

police uncover her killer, only

2:35

to discover what they described as a

2:37

sex dungeon in his basement with

2:40

blood leading down the stairs.

2:49

This is the story of Sade

2:51

Robinson. Sade

3:14

Carlina Robinson was born on

3:17

May 10, 2004

3:19

in Vicksburg, Mississippi. Her

3:22

parents Sheena Scarborough and Carlos Robinson

3:24

were never married, but Sheena claims

3:26

that they co-parented their daughter lovingly

3:29

and amicably. When

3:31

Sade was almost two years old, so

3:33

a year before her sister Adriana was

3:35

born, her mother Sheena moved them up

3:37

north to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, which is where

3:40

today's story takes place, but they would

3:42

make frequent trips back down south to

3:44

visit Sade's father. Sade's

3:46

dad Carlos eventually relocated to Cape

3:49

Coral, Florida and Sade grew up

3:51

between the two. Sheena

3:54

has always been her daughter's

3:57

biggest fan and strongest advocate.

4:00

She described her daughter as a beautiful

4:02

soul, saying that Sade was special and

4:04

like no one else she had ever

4:06

met. Sheena added

4:08

proudly, quote, we are light workers,

4:10

we put out positive energy, we

4:12

exert, we help others. I'm a

4:14

community advocate. As a personal way

4:16

of my life, the way I

4:18

live, I've worked for others, I

4:21

help others my whole life. I've

4:23

raised my daughters that way. My

4:26

daughters have excelled. She

4:28

described Sade as hardworking and

4:31

self-sufficient and that she would never

4:33

think of hurting anybody because all she wanted

4:35

to do was put good into the world. Her

4:38

father, Carlos agrees, calling Sade kindhearted

4:40

and remembering a time when he

4:43

handed her an allowance as they

4:45

were on their way to an outdoor fair. And

4:48

Sade handed it right over to a man asking

4:50

for help on the side of the road. And

4:52

he called that a perfect example

4:54

of her good soul. Sade

4:58

spent a stint at Ida S.

5:00

Baker High School in Cape Coral, but

5:02

as she got closer to graduating,

5:04

she decided to settle in Milwaukee

5:06

with her mom permanently. Sade

5:09

was an excellent and highly

5:12

motivated student and actually graduated

5:14

a semester early with honors

5:16

from Riverside University High School. Wanting

5:20

to be an advocate and fulfill

5:22

her need to help those around

5:24

her, Sade decided to study criminal

5:27

justice enrolling in Milwaukee area technical

5:29

college, but her mom Sheena claimed

5:31

that she was considering going into the

5:33

Air Force when she finished her studies. Sade

5:37

was just a month away from

5:39

graduating college with her associate degree, which

5:41

was set to happen in May of 2024,

5:45

a day that should have coincided with her 20th

5:47

birthday. In

5:49

the meantime, Sade worked at a restaurant

5:51

called Pizza Shuttle on the East side

5:54

of Milwaukee, where her manager Justin described

5:56

her as the heart of the operation.

5:59

Justin says that she- she was beloved by

6:01

customers and coworkers alike, saying, quote,

6:03

she was very outgoing. She would

6:05

talk to everybody here. She

6:07

was always there to lighten the mood. And

6:10

Sade would regularly bring out pizza to

6:12

homeless people in the neighborhood, always

6:14

just thinking of others. Her

6:16

mom Sheena speaks glowingly about her

6:19

daughter's headstrong and independent nature. She

6:21

moved into her own apartment right

6:23

after graduating high school, and

6:25

she had been supporting herself as well by

6:27

putting herself through college ever since. She

6:30

loved to host there and cook meals for

6:32

her friends and family. In

6:34

addition to her job at Pizza Shuttle, she

6:36

held down a position at the prestigious Wisconsin

6:39

Club, which is a private social

6:41

and dining club where she worked with her

6:43

sister Adriana. Alongside

6:45

working and going to school, Sade

6:48

loved to travel, whether it be

6:50

Jamaica, Atlanta, or New Orleans. Sade

6:53

last saw her mom, grandparents, and

6:55

sister on Easter Sunday the day

6:58

before she disappeared when her family

7:00

gathered for the holiday. The

7:03

following day, which was Monday, April 1st, 2024,

7:06

Sade got ready for work in the morning while

7:08

chatting with her mom on first time. Now,

7:11

in addition to speaking daily, Sheena was able to

7:13

track her daughter's whereabouts if she wanted to by

7:15

using Life360, which is an app. But

7:19

there was one detail of her upcoming

7:21

day that Sheena didn't know about. Sade

7:24

had a date that night. She

7:27

even apparently told a maintenance worker at her

7:30

apartment building that she was excited about

7:32

meeting this guy. Now,

7:34

it's not clear how they met, but it's

7:36

been speculated that it was either via a

7:38

dating app or by meeting at the bar

7:40

that he worked at. But regardless of the

7:42

circumstances that brought them together, by the

7:45

next morning, her friends knew

7:47

that something had gone terribly

7:49

wrong. On Tuesday,

7:52

April 2nd, 2024, Sade didn't

7:54

show up for her shift

7:56

at Pizza Shuttle and

7:58

hadn't let her coworkers or men In and

8:00

your now. Which I think we can all

8:02

tell by now is something that never happened.

8:04

This had not even happened. Once before.

8:07

So. Puzzled by this, her manager, Justin,

8:10

spent all day calling her in hopes

8:12

of reaching her and just seeing what

8:14

was. Going on. Friends.

8:17

Family and coworkers also called

8:19

and texted her continuously. But.

8:22

Never heard back. But. Some

8:24

of her friends noted that her last social

8:26

media posts had been a snap chat from

8:28

the evening before while she was at a

8:31

place. Called Duke's on water.

8:33

Which is a sports bar located

8:35

on Water Street and Juno Avenue

8:37

in Downtown Milwaukee near the Milwaukee.

8:40

River. Shot. Days Life

8:42

Three Sixty app which by the

8:44

way is known as a family

8:46

location sharing app had last been

8:48

updated at four thirty three Am

8:50

that morning and it showed her

8:52

location at a park south of

8:54

the city. So. Not only

8:57

can nobody get in touch with Saw

8:59

Day, but now they're saying that her

9:01

phone last updated at four thirty in

9:03

the morning near a park, so that

9:05

is just heavily adding to this eerie

9:07

feeling here. Growing. Increasingly

9:10

alarmed, a friend reported her

9:12

missing at nine pm. that.

9:14

Evening about twenty four hours after

9:16

she had last been heard from.

9:20

Police. Stopped at her apartment to

9:22

perform a welfare check, but they

9:24

found it empty and undisturbed. Meaning

9:26

whatever happened to her didn't happen

9:28

in her apartment. Meanwhile.

9:31

That morning. A car

9:33

had been found on fire and

9:35

after containing the flames, police were tasked

9:38

with finding it's owner and determining why

9:40

it had been set on. Fire in

9:42

the first place. At seven

9:45

thirty two Am on the morning of

9:47

April Second, so about ten hours since

9:49

shah they had last been. Seen.

9:52

The. Milwaukee Fire Department responded to

9:54

a call about a vehicle fire

9:56

near the corner of Less Lisbon

9:59

Avenue and. Worth Twenty ninth

10:01

Street in West Milwaukee. The.

10:03

Car in question. Was. A

10:06

twenty twenty Honda Civic with

10:08

with contemplates. And. By the

10:10

time the fire was extinguished, The. Car

10:13

had to stay in the extreme

10:15

at damage, decimating the entire. Interior.

10:19

No. No human remains were found inside,

10:21

but when officers were able to crack

10:23

the trunk or been. Multiple.

10:26

Person or items were recovered which

10:28

they believed belong to the owner

10:30

of the vehicle. Like inside the

10:32

trunk was a black puffer coat.

10:34

Light. Colored red, blue jeans. A

10:37

white tee shirt, white shoes,

10:39

and a Graze brown colored

10:41

purse. And they also recovered

10:43

the smash remnants. Of. In

10:46

I Phone. So all of this being

10:48

sound in the trunk particularly obviously it

10:50

looks really weird. This is a woman's

10:52

outfit and her purse and a broken

10:55

I phone in a burnt out car.

10:57

And upon their search of the

10:59

Dmz Records. The. Vi number.

11:02

Or the vehicle identification number

11:04

connected them with the car's

11:06

owner. Nineteen. Year old

11:08

saw Dave Robinson. And.

11:11

He items in the trunk were later

11:13

confirmed to be what she was wearing

11:15

on her date on the evening of.

11:17

April first. But.

11:19

Get this. A witness in the

11:21

area at the time claimed that

11:23

they watched a man. Exit

11:25

from the driver's side of Saudis

11:27

car and tossing a lighter. On

11:30

the car before it was engulfed in

11:32

flames. But the next piece is a

11:34

puzzle. Would prove to be

11:36

even more disturbing. At.

11:39

Five Twenty Nine Pm on Tuesday,

11:41

April Second: Twenty Twenty Four. Nearing

11:43

twenty four hours since anyone had

11:45

heard from Shah Day. A

11:48

pedestrian in a park south of

11:50

the city came upon a horrifying

11:52

discovery. So. What

11:54

I'm On Park is a sprawling outdoor

11:57

recreation area on the banks of Lake

11:59

Michigan. How to he? Wisconsin?

12:01

Which. Is about nine miles or twelve

12:04

kilometers south of Were Shot. A had last

12:06

been seen publicly with her date. Parts.

12:09

Of the park both stunning views of

12:11

the lake from clips that slope into

12:13

the water. I mean it's just so

12:15

incredibly beautiful area. But. While strolling

12:18

this stretch on that foggy miss

12:20

the morning. A. Pedestrian Walked

12:22

by a pump house in spotted

12:24

what looked like is human leg

12:26

near the shoreline of Lake Michigan.

12:29

It. Had fallen about two thirds of the way

12:31

down a bluff that stretched a hundred feet

12:33

so I didn't even like washed ashore. It

12:35

was. Seemingly. Thrown off the cliff

12:38

and didn't even make. It into the

12:40

water. So obviously this person is

12:42

confused and horrified. So they called

12:44

the police and when the police

12:46

arrived. The. Determined that it

12:48

was in fact of females human

12:50

leg. And it hadn't

12:52

started decomposing yet, which meant that it

12:54

had been placed there in the last

12:56

few hours. The. Lake belong

12:59

to a black female who stood

13:01

at about five feet tall. And.

13:03

Her toenails were painted pink.

13:06

So. This information came right alongside the

13:08

report that Saudis Honda Civic had been

13:10

found burned out forty five minutes north

13:12

in the Mid Town neighborhood of Milwaukee.

13:15

A few hours later, her missing persons

13:18

report had been filed. In.

13:20

Soon Dna would confirm that

13:22

the lake belong to nineteen

13:24

year old shot a Robinson.

13:27

So. Please sit out to locate the rest

13:29

of her body as well as whoever the

13:32

hell committed this unthinkable act against her. And

13:34

connecting the dots between the date that

13:37

sought a hard on the evening of

13:39

April first with a thirty three year

13:41

old man named Maxwell Anderson. The.

13:43

Bread of sloppy evidence that he

13:45

had left behind with the security

13:47

camera footage showing him covering his

13:49

tracks. All. Over the city,

13:51

Was. An expeditious task for

13:53

investigators. But. Even

13:55

they were left wondering. how

13:58

and why did this happen While

14:01

using the text messages exchanged between

14:03

the two and the location data

14:05

from Sade's phone, investigators were

14:07

able to lay out a much clearer

14:10

schedule of events that led to her

14:12

murder. With

Twenty Twenty Four Zero

17:14

Fifteen Pm. Saw. They

17:16

texted Maxwell saying quotes. Where.

17:18

Are we meeting? I can do size. Then.

17:21

Maxwell ass quote from

17:24

downtown somewhere. Saudi.

17:26

Agreed and Maxwell suggested quote

17:28

brought a house on Third.

17:31

Saturday. Agreed again saying quote

17:33

perfect. Maxwell. Sent

17:35

back Okay, I'm going to shower

17:37

quit. I'll probably get their more

17:39

around five fifteen. Are. You hungry?

17:42

I need to stop at Twisted Fisherman

17:44

to pick up my w to from

17:46

last year and we could eat their

17:48

first. Shot. A said that.

17:51

Okay and yes, are we eating at

17:53

Brought Health or the other place. To.

17:55

Which Maxwell responded, let's eat

17:57

it Twisted, I'm feeling see.

18:00

food. Sade agreed, yes,

18:02

I love seafood. He

18:05

said back, sounds good, I'm about

18:07

to leave, I'll be there soon. And

18:10

by the way, Brothaus is described

18:13

on Google as quote, a historic

18:15

venue evoking old Milwaukee with German

18:17

and Wisconsin fare, local brews

18:20

and a beer garden. But since they

18:22

ended up going to Twisted Fisherman instead,

18:24

that place is described as quote,

18:26

relaxed riverside eateries serving crab

18:28

and other seafood fare plus

18:30

tropical drinks. So nothing here

18:32

really sounds out of the

18:35

ordinary. Like it sounds like

18:37

a normal text conversation. He's

18:39

saying, you know, let's meet at this

18:41

place. Let's get some food. Are you hungry? I

18:43

need to pick up a W2. So

18:45

nothing alarming here at first look. Yeah,

18:47

it seems like a casual date that

18:49

they're about to go on. So

18:52

Maxwell texted Sade again when he

18:54

arrived at Twisted Fisherman to which

18:56

Sade responded, Okay, are you inside?

19:00

He confirmed he was and that was

19:02

their last text exchange before meeting in

19:04

person at 518 p.m. The

19:08

two sat at the bar at

19:11

Twisted Fisherman in Southwest Milwaukee, ordering

19:13

food and drinks and

19:15

security camera footage captured what looked

19:17

like any typical first date. And

19:20

the bartender confirmed their presence as well,

19:22

saying that the two seemed to be

19:24

getting along. Before

19:26

Sade got there, Maxwell had spoken

19:29

with a former coworker to obtain that W2,

19:32

like he said in the text to Sade and

19:34

told them that he was staying there for a date.

19:38

At 6 30 p.m. The

19:40

two left Twisted Fisherman and headed

19:42

to a second spot, Dukes on

19:45

Water again, the sports bar where Sade

19:47

sent her last Snapchat from after

19:50

Sade drove the two of them there in her

19:52

car. Then at 9 0 6

19:54

p.m. They

19:56

can be seen on security cameras leaving

19:58

the bar. Now,

20:01

surveillance footage, either from a neighbor's

20:03

camera or from Maxwell's house itself,

20:05

shows the pair arriving at his house

20:07

in Sade's car at 9.24 pm,

20:10

18 minutes after leaving Dukes on

20:15

Water. And Sade's

20:17

Life360 app proved that her phone

20:19

was there as well. Three

20:22

hours and 24 minutes

20:24

after they arrive at Maxwell's house at

20:26

12.48 am. Sade's

20:30

phone leaves Maxwell's neighborhood on

20:32

the south side of Milwaukee

20:35

and travels north through downtown, ironically

20:37

even passing through the vicinity of

20:39

Sade's apartment. Now obviously if there

20:42

is footage of them arriving

20:44

at Maxwell's house, again like I

20:46

said either from a neighbor's camera

20:49

or his, I'm sure there is footage of

20:51

who exactly is seen leaving but there

20:53

is still a lot of stuff that

20:55

hasn't been figured out or released since

20:57

this just happened. Now

21:00

45 minutes later at

21:02

1.33 am, Sade's

21:04

phone pinged in Pleasant Valley

21:07

Park, which is north of downtown

21:09

Milwaukee situated right along the river.

21:12

A half an hour later, around

21:15

2 am, her phone leaves the

21:17

area and heads south to Wernemont

21:19

Park. At

21:22

2.53 am, surveillance footage from

21:24

nearby Cudahay High School captures

21:27

what appears to be Sade's car passing

21:29

by on its way to the park,

21:32

headed toward the pump house on the east side

21:34

of the golf course. At

21:37

3.02 am, a figure is

21:39

spotted descending the steep bluffs of the

21:42

park that lead down to the water,

21:45

and remember it's off these bluffs

21:47

towards the water by the shoreline

21:49

that Sade's leg was later found.

21:53

Later that morning, after the discovery

21:55

of Sade's burned out car, an

21:58

employee for the city of Cudahay reported

22:00

that it appeared as if someone had

22:02

used their car as a battering ram

22:05

to open the locked gate that

22:07

was shielding the service road that

22:09

led to that pump house in

22:11

Wernemont Park, meaning someone had pushed

22:13

a stranger's car into the gate

22:15

to get it to open. Upon

22:18

examination of the debris left behind,

22:21

it appeared as though it had been

22:23

left by a Honda Civic, and

22:26

the pieces were later matched with a

22:28

front of Chadez Honda Civic, which had

22:30

sustained the damage before being set

22:32

ablaze. So all of these

22:35

connections are being made. Then,

22:37

at 4.31 a.m. that morning,

22:40

the car can be seen leaving Wernemont

22:43

Park, and just minutes

22:45

later, Chadez's phone either died,

22:47

was broken, or was shut

22:50

off. For the

22:52

next three hours, Maxwell's

22:54

whereabouts are unknown. Then,

22:57

at 7.29 a.m., he was picked

22:59

up again on surveillance footage, hastily

23:02

walking away from the scene of

23:04

Chadez's abandoned burning car, which

23:06

the fire department reached just three

23:08

minutes later. Video

23:11

footage from inside a Milwaukee County

23:13

Transit System bus clearly

23:15

captures Maxwell clad in a

23:17

gray hoodie and a tan

23:19

backpack. He gets off

23:21

the bus at a stop near his home

23:23

and is then pictured arriving home at 8.43

23:27

a.m. after being gone for

23:29

over eight hours. And

23:31

it's really interesting to have all of this information. There's

23:34

so much surveillance footage, phone

23:36

pings, witness sightings, like

23:39

the fact that we know that he got

23:41

home via bus. This comes up

23:43

a lot in cases where a

23:45

body is dumped and there's always that question

23:47

of transportation. Well, if they dumped

23:50

somebody's car and or their body, how did

23:52

they get home? And he took the bus.

23:54

Yeah, typically we don't see

23:56

this clear of a timeline with a

23:59

victim. and a perpetrator. Yeah, this

24:01

case has a lot of evidence. But

24:03

let's talk about this Maxwell guy for

24:06

a second. So Maxwell Anderson grew up

24:08

as the only child of the president

24:10

of an insurance company. He

24:12

attended Catholic Memorial High School on the

24:15

outskirts of Milwaukee, and played

24:17

junior varsity football there before graduating and

24:19

moving on to work for two of

24:21

his father's insurance companies. One

24:24

source claims that he also held a

24:26

position as an aviation electronics technician in

24:28

the United States Navy and

24:31

was fired for misconduct, but this has

24:33

not been confirmed. Maxwell

24:36

worked for Anderson's Insurance Associates

24:38

in New Berlin, Wisconsin, as

24:40

well as Insurance Associates of America. Both

24:44

of these companies are owned by Maxwell's

24:46

father, who is Steven Anderson, earning Maxwell

24:48

the title of quote, Nepo Baby Killer

24:51

in the press. His

24:53

father Steven eventually relocated to South

24:56

Carolina and then Florida, owning lavish

24:58

homes in both. And

25:00

Maxwell left the insurance business to

25:02

start bartending, though it's unknown

25:04

whether he left due to disciplinary reasons

25:06

or not. One

25:08

friend who visited his home a few months

25:11

before the murder recalls that it was in

25:13

a constant state of shambles. It

25:15

appeared as if he had been in the

25:17

middle of multiple renovation projects that he would

25:19

never finish. He'd even

25:22

been digging what he described as

25:24

an underground basement in his backyard,

25:27

which was measured at five feet long

25:29

and six feet deep. So a grave?

25:32

Essentially. That is a grave.

25:34

Well the friend actually found this very strange,

25:36

as he already had a large basement that

25:38

was attached to the house. And

25:41

I guess it is worth noting that another friend of

25:43

his took to Facebook to defend this project,

25:45

saying that Maxwell had been simply working

25:47

on a storage cellar for dried and

25:50

canned goods. But I don't know,

25:52

it seems pretty weird. But the rest of his

25:54

home projects are harder to defend. Because

25:57

one friend remembers Maxwell asking if she wanted to go

25:59

to the house. wanted to see the basement,

26:01

which she declined saying, I

26:03

got a little bit of a tour and he

26:05

was like, do you wanna see the basement? And

26:07

I was like, no, I'm okay. He's

26:10

like, it's creepy down there. And I

26:12

was like, no, it's okay. How is

26:14

that gonna entice her? It's creepy down

26:16

there. Doesn't that sound nice? Yeah, come

26:18

on down to my creepy basement. Super

26:20

sick. Well, according to reports

26:22

from police, Maxwell

26:25

has what has been referred to

26:27

as a fully loaded sex dungeon

26:30

in the basement of his home that he owns

26:33

on the Southwest side of Milwaukee.

26:35

So by creepy basement, he

26:37

actually meant that. Creepy sex

26:39

dungeon basement. It is so, and especially to

26:41

say, you're trying to lure a girl down

26:43

there and there is no

26:46

mention of a sex dungeon. You're just saying,

26:48

oh, let me show you my basement. Like how

26:51

many women has he tried to lure

26:53

down there? Well, it's just really creepy knowing

26:56

what he has done in the

26:59

aftermath of that. And his

27:01

behavior well before this

27:04

has been very disturbing to

27:06

say the least. So basically

27:08

friends and coworkers alike and

27:11

family describe him as erratic

27:13

and immature, alleging that

27:15

he had a drinking problem and that he

27:17

would often drink on the job when he

27:19

was bartending. I don't know if this went

27:21

back to his insurance days, but at least

27:24

when he was bartending. Probably I wouldn't put

27:26

it past him. Yeah, exactly. But his current

27:28

manager claimed that he was well-liked

27:31

and a hard worker. Now

27:33

at the time of Sade's murder,

27:35

Maxwell was working as a bartender

27:37

for Victor's Nightclub in the Yankee

27:39

Hill neighborhood of Milwaukee. His

27:42

criminal record though is lengthy

27:44

and it includes speculations of

27:46

both substance abuse issues and

27:48

struggles with mental health. In

27:51

2014, while staying with a relative

27:54

in Colorado, he became

27:56

distressed and angry for an undisclosed

27:58

or unknown reason. and he

28:00

actually trapped his relative in their

28:02

room while screaming and throwing items

28:04

around the house. When

28:07

the relative called the police, Maxwell

28:09

stole their car and fled the

28:12

scene before crashing into somebody's patio.

28:15

He also became enraged in a

28:17

physical altercation with a relative that

28:19

resulted in Maxwell breaking his collarbone

28:22

and the relative sustaining multiple

28:24

broken ribs. And

28:27

family members later claimed that they believed

28:29

he had been under the influence of

28:31

drugs at the time this happened. For

28:34

these infractions, Maxwell was charged

28:37

with disorderly conduct, and

28:39

in the following year Maxwell was

28:41

staying with another relative and was told

28:43

that he needed to properly clean up

28:45

after himself. With this and

28:48

the relative reportedly suggesting that Maxwell

28:50

seek help from mental health, Maxwell

28:53

flew into a rage, throwing a

28:55

glass, punching a hole through a

28:57

wall, and smashing the cell phones

28:59

of the two family members who lived

29:02

there to prevent them from calling

29:04

the police. One

29:06

of them actually had to run to a neighbor's house

29:08

to be able to call for help. I mean

29:11

it just seems like this guy is such

29:13

a brat. Like if he doesn't

29:15

get his way, he just flies

29:17

into a rage and

29:20

becomes so pissed off. It's like, get

29:23

your shit together, man. Yeah, that's actually a

29:25

good thing to point out that it seems

29:27

like when he doesn't get his way, it

29:29

really upsets him. Obviously there are also some

29:31

mental health issues that play into this, but

29:33

yeah, this is just some of the

29:36

things that people have experienced at

29:38

the hands of Maxwell Anderson. Well,

29:40

his legal issues continued when in

29:42

2019, while still on

29:44

probation, he became engaged in

29:46

a verbal altercation with a woman on

29:48

a sidewalk in Milwaukee, though her

29:50

identity and the cause of this fight have not

29:53

been revealed. When a passerby

29:55

attempted to intervene on behalf of the woman,

29:58

Maxwell assaulted the man, pinning

30:00

him down on the ground while punching him. And

30:03

for this, he was charged with battery

30:05

and disorderly conduct, hold on

30:07

probation again, and ordered to

30:09

maintain steady employment, perform community

30:11

service, submit to drug screenings,

30:14

and pay restitution to the

30:16

victim. But

30:18

somehow, Maxwell again managed to avoid prison

30:20

time. He has also twice

30:22

been convicted of drunk driving and once

30:25

of driving on a suspended license. During

30:28

his probation for these crimes, while ordered to

30:31

be sober and submit to random drug testing,

30:33

he tested positive for cocaine,

30:36

marijuana, and alcohol. Like

30:38

Maxwell does not give a fuck about

30:40

probation at all. And

30:42

he was released from probation just a

30:44

year before committing Sade's murder. Publicly,

30:47

however, Maxwell maintained a

30:50

very different persona, frequently

30:52

sharing pictures of his home

30:54

improvement projects and his dogs. You

30:56

know, little does anybody know what he's

30:58

actually building in his home. And that

31:00

he's a monster? Yeah, it seemed like

31:03

even though he could be strange and

31:05

volatile towards some people, he

31:07

didn't show that side of him

31:09

to, you know, most of his

31:11

coworkers or his friends. So on

31:13

April 4th, three days after Sade's

31:15

murder, he posted casually on

31:18

Facebook that he was volunteering for

31:20

Feeding America in a few days

31:22

and asked if anyone wanted to

31:24

join him. But he

31:26

would never get to do that because that same day,

31:28

Thursday, April 4th, 2024 at one

31:31

16 p.m. Maxwell

31:34

Anderson was pulled over following a routine

31:36

traffic stop after his license plates had

31:39

been flagged because they were looking for

31:41

him. So he was arrested in the

31:43

street for the murder of 19 year

31:46

old Shaw Day Robinson

31:48

while onlookers watched and

31:50

recorded. A

31:52

search of his home was also conducted that

31:54

day and the results

31:56

only brought on more questions and

31:59

for good. reason.

32:02

During this search, blood was

32:05

found on his bed as

32:07

well as on the staircase walls

32:10

leading down to the basement where

32:12

his sex dungeon is located. And

32:15

in it, he allegedly displays

32:18

restraints, handcuffs, and a

32:20

sex swing. Now obviously we're talking

32:22

about all this stuff in a

32:24

negative connotation just because of what

32:26

we can imagine could have happened

32:28

or maybe the non-consensual things, you

32:30

know? Sure, yeah. I mean, there's

32:32

no problem. You can do whatever you

32:35

want to do sexually, but obviously in

32:37

this context, it's very, very different. Yeah,

32:39

it's, this is a disturbing kind

32:41

of sex dungeon in RIs just because of who this guy

32:43

is, so I just wanted to make that

32:46

very clear here. Now according to one

32:48

of Maxwell's neighbors, the small windows of

32:50

the basement were boarded up so that

32:53

they couldn't be viewed from the

32:55

street. So he

32:57

very much does not want anybody

32:59

to accidentally see or purposefully see

33:01

whatever is going on down there.

33:04

She claims their neighborhood is normally

33:06

safe and quiet and is in

33:08

utter disbelief at the events that

33:10

have unfolded at Maxwell's hand saying,

33:13

quote, it never crossed my mind

33:15

that there could be something like that

33:17

here. It's just sick. It's depraved and

33:19

I can't stop thinking about it. Investigators

33:23

also located multiple containers

33:25

of gasoline hidden in

33:27

the basement, potentially used

33:29

to set Shaday's car ablaze. The

33:33

Anderson family secured legal representation

33:35

for Maxwell immediately after his

33:37

arrest on April 4th and

33:40

about three weeks later on Monday, April 22nd,

33:42

2024, so four

33:45

days before this episode comes out, he

33:48

and his attorney, Tony Cotton appeared

33:50

before a judge to enter a plea.

33:52

33 year

33:55

old Maxwell is being charged

33:57

with first degree homicide, mutilation,

33:59

and death. In Of A Corpse and

34:01

Our Sin. He. Pleaded

34:03

not guilty to all three

34:06

charges, and waved his right

34:08

to a preliminary hearing in

34:10

hopes of being looked at

34:12

more favorably by the prosecution.

34:14

Maxwell's. Father Steven released a statement

34:16

via the family's legal counsel that read:

34:19

quote. On behalf of myself

34:21

and my family, I would like to

34:23

express our deepest sympathies and heartfelt

34:25

condolences to the family and loved ones

34:27

of Saudi Robinson. We. Are

34:30

shocked to devastated by her senseless

34:32

death. To shot his

34:34

mother and father. Words cannot express our

34:36

sorrow for the in comprehensible pain and

34:38

grief that you're going through. We.

34:41

Join the entire community and celebrating

34:43

Saudis life. Other.

34:45

Than that, the family have remained pretty

34:47

quiet. It has been tight lipped on

34:49

details for legal reasons. But. Sally

34:51

his spoke on behalf of all

34:53

of us saying quote. This.

34:55

Sick son of a bitch hurt my baby.

34:58

This six son of a bit is going

35:00

to pay. This. Is justice

35:02

for saw days. Who. Would

35:04

do something like this to my beautiful

35:06

baby. She. Hurt nobody,

35:09

see harmed nobody's. On

35:12

Saturday, April sixth. Twenty Twenty Four.

35:14

So two. Days after Maxwell's

35:16

arrest and five days after

35:18

Saudis. Murder. Police. Said

35:21

out canvassing the vicinity and which

35:23

Saudis car was found which was

35:25

at the intersection of less Lisbon

35:27

Avenue. And North Twenty Ninth

35:29

Street. It was

35:31

there. That. They came

35:33

upon another. Startling discovery.

35:37

Saudis, Foot that had pink

35:39

nail polish that match the leg. Recovered

35:41

at Warn Him Up Park. It.

35:44

Had been disposed of near a

35:46

playground in West Milwaukee, just blocks

35:49

from where her car was found.

35:51

Twenty. Whole minutes. From where

35:53

her leg was discarded. In.

35:56

the bronx by a set of

35:58

train tracks adjacent to thirty 1st

36:00

Street and Galena playground near where

36:02

the foot was recovered. Detectives

36:05

also found discarded human

36:08

flesh believed to

36:10

belong to Sade. On

36:13

Thursday, April 18th, another discovery was made

36:15

when more body parts washed up on

36:18

the beach of Lake Michigan. South

36:21

of both Milwaukee proper and Vornamont

36:23

Park in the separate city of

36:25

South Milwaukee, a torso and an

36:27

arm washed ashore on the Lake

36:29

Michigan beach near Marina Road and

36:32

this was discovered by a passerby

36:34

who was just strolling the normally

36:36

very quiet beach at 737 a.m.

36:39

that morning. Law enforcement

36:41

has vowed to find the rest of

36:44

her remains using sonar detection boats along

36:46

the coastline in hopes of laying all

36:48

of her body to rest. On

36:52

Monday of this week, April

36:54

22nd, the case received

36:56

its latest bombshell revelation. The

36:59

blood found in Maxwell's home, you know the

37:01

one that was on his bed, on the

37:04

wall leading down to the basement,

37:06

did not belong to Sade.

37:09

So this only begs more questions. Where

37:12

was she killed if not in this

37:15

home? And of course, if the

37:17

blood does not belong to Sade,

37:19

whose blood is it and does

37:21

Maxwell have more victims? I

37:23

mean this guy could be a serial killer. Oh

37:26

yeah, it's definitely possible and because this

37:28

is such a developing story, we

37:30

don't know yet if there is

37:32

other evidence that Sade's murder and

37:34

dismemberment took place in his home

37:36

because to me it feels like it would have had to

37:38

have. Like I don't know where else unless

37:40

he has a second home but the

37:43

fact that the blood wasn't hers

37:45

and that he has this basement

37:48

and clearly has behavioral

37:50

and mental health issues and has

37:52

for a long time, I would

37:55

be surprised if Sade was

37:57

the first woman that he killed. Oh yeah, it's...

37:59

Seems like, I mean, it's very possible that

38:02

there are others. I mean, especially

38:04

when we're talking about this other person's

38:06

blood, whoever's blood it is. But

38:09

yeah, I mean, very alarming here. Yeah, I mean,

38:11

this development is so new. So whenever there

38:13

is more information regarding who it

38:15

belongs to, whether it's Maxwell himself

38:17

or somebody else, we will definitely

38:20

do an update episode because I have a feeling

38:22

there's a lot to come with this story. In

38:25

an interview with Nancy Grace, Sade's mom

38:28

said through tears, quote, this

38:30

isn't normal. This is a 2024

38:32

Jeffrey Dahmer. And

38:35

Sheena also strongly believes that he is

38:37

to blame for the disappearance of other

38:39

young black women in the area. And

38:42

that if he killed like this once,

38:45

he is capable of committing many more

38:47

murders. And we both agree with her

38:49

there for sure. But there's one interesting

38:51

thing that I want to mention is how

38:54

many mistakes he made during

38:56

the disposal because he was

38:58

caught by cameras and witnesses.

39:00

So if he did this

39:02

before, I would be surprised

39:05

that he's not already in prison.

39:07

But maybe the circumstances for other women

39:09

were different and he was able to

39:11

be sneakier about it. I'm

39:14

sure with this news, people will

39:16

come forward with a bunch of

39:18

tips about Maxwell. Well, obviously, we

39:20

don't know if there are other

39:22

victims. This is pure speculation. But

39:24

one thing I will say is

39:26

that over time,

39:28

a lot of serial killers become

39:30

sloppy. They start making mistakes. And

39:33

even if they have killed numerous

39:36

amounts of people, this is

39:38

typically what we see. We see them make mistakes

39:40

and that's how they get caught. Very true. But

39:43

for now, police remain pretty quiet on

39:45

the details, but are likely testing the

39:47

blood against the DNA that they have

39:49

in unsolved cases in hopes that it

39:51

leads to a resolution. But

39:53

it's possible that the blood belongs to

39:55

Maxwell himself and that he was injured

39:58

in the attack on Sade. Which

40:00

would be very easy to find out. Oh,

40:02

definitely. And in terms of a motive,

40:04

we all remain at a loss. I

40:07

mean, it seems most likely that they

40:09

were having a fun date, and then

40:11

they went back to Maxwell's house to

40:13

continue their evening, and either he made

40:15

an advance on her that she rebuked,

40:17

and he got angry and killed her,

40:20

or he planned all along to

40:22

kill her that night. Sade's

40:25

family and friends themselves are still conducting

40:28

searches in hopes that the rest of

40:30

her body parts will be found, and

40:32

that she can properly be laid to

40:34

rest. For now, her

40:37

memorial is tentatively set for May

40:39

9, 2024, and

40:41

a family friend is raising money on GoFundMe

40:44

to assist Sheena with all of these costs.

40:46

So, if you would like to

40:48

donate alongside us, the link is in the

40:50

description of this episode. And so far,

40:52

they've raised over $60,000. Through

40:56

activism and community involvement, Sheena hopes

40:58

to raise awareness for all the

41:00

missing and murdered young women in

41:02

the area, especially if her daughter's

41:04

killer is responsible for any of

41:06

them. She's said that

41:09

it's become her purpose and her calling

41:11

since her daughter was taken from her. She

41:14

says she keeps telling herself, you

41:16

will continue to be a voice, not only

41:18

for yourself, but all the

41:20

black and brown girls that continue to

41:22

go missing. On

41:24

April 19, 2024, the family held a

41:27

vigil in a local park where they

41:29

asked attendees to wear pink, which

41:31

was Sade's favorite color. Through

41:33

tears, Sade's 16-year-old sister said

41:36

to the crowd, Anybody

41:38

who knew Sade knew that she

41:40

was different from everybody else. Everything

41:43

she had, she had by herself.

41:46

She went through a lot, but she

41:48

never let that break her. She was

41:50

the strongest person I know. She

41:53

was the most beautiful person I know. She

41:55

never deserved this. A

41:58

makeshift shrine also decorated the house. completely

42:00

in pink, sprung up where Sade

42:02

was last seen alive in front of

42:05

the home of Maxwell Anderson. Pink

42:08

blankets and tablecloths were laid out

42:10

on the lawn and messages of

42:12

love to Sade were scribbled on

42:14

the sidewalk in pink chalk. And

42:16

I love so much that everybody

42:19

is going to his house and

42:21

doing this. It's amazing. Like there

42:23

are balloons, flowers, stuffed animals, candles,

42:25

and dozens of pictures outside of

42:27

his residence. But sadly,

42:29

one morning they had been removed,

42:32

which the community blamed Steven Anderson

42:34

for, alleging he sought to bring

42:37

attention away from his son's misdeeds.

42:40

For now, Sade's loved ones will have

42:42

to await answers as Maxwell and his

42:44

legal team prepare to go to trial.

42:48

Maxwell Anderson is currently being

42:50

held on a $5 million

42:52

bond and is due back

42:54

in court in May of 16th. Thank

43:07

you so much everybody for listening to episode 400 of Going West.

43:11

Yes, I can't believe it. 400 episodes of Going West. By

43:14

the way, I just wanted to say thank you for

43:16

putting up with my shitty voice today because I'm a

43:18

little bit sick, so I'm clogged up in the nose.

43:22

But I did my very best and I

43:24

appreciate you guys understanding. Also, I just wanted

43:26

to say thank you for listening to this

43:28

episode. Make sure that you share it. And

43:30

if you want to donate to the GoFundMe,

43:33

like Daphne said, it will be in the

43:35

link to the description of this episode. Yes,

43:37

thank you guys so much for tuning in. This is

43:39

such an important story to talk about because like I

43:42

said as well, it feels like there is so much

43:44

more to uncover. And

43:46

again, our hearts really go out to

43:48

Sade's family. Now you see why for

43:50

everything that she likely endured that night.

43:53

Yeah, I mean, it's honestly crazy and I know that

43:55

there's going to be more things that come out about

43:57

this case. And, you know, we'll try

43:59

to keep you. you guys updated the best that we can

44:03

when the trial happens. Yeah, maybe some

44:05

more information will come out on May

44:07

16th after his next court date. And

44:10

of course, police might be releasing more and

44:13

more information that they're finding in his house

44:15

and just in their investigation. And again, I

44:17

feel like we will definitely be doing an

44:19

update episode on this one. So thank you

44:22

guys so much and we'll see you on

44:24

Tuesday. Alright guys, so for everybody

44:26

out there in the world, don't be a

44:28

stranger. Thanks

44:59

for watching. I'll see you guys next time. Bye.
