Investigators find Sade Robinson remains

The unsettling findings mark another somber chapter in the search for Robinson, who was reported missing on April 2. Maxwell Anderson, 33, of Milwaukee, has been charged with first-degree intentional homicide, mutilating a corpse, and arson in connection with the case.

Anderson's arrest on April 4 followed the discovery of a leg believed to belong to Robinson, found by a passer-by at Warnimont Park along Lake Michigan in Cudahy. The leg had been severed just below the hip.

This is the hardest thing I’ve ever gone through," Sheena expressed her determination to seek justice. "I just need any individuals who know any information involving my daughter’s case to come forward. I want justice for Sade, we will get justice for her."
