Description
She was excited about her first date with a guy she'd met while out with friends. Sade Robinson, a 19-year-old college student from Milwaukee, bought new clothes and got ready with the same anticipation as any young woman heading out for a night of possibility. She met Maxwell Anderson, a 34-year-old bartender, at a restaurant, then went to a bar for drinks. Surveillance cameras captured them together. Her Life360 app tracked her car to his house around 9:30 PM. Three hours later, her phone left his house—but it didn't go home. It drove around the city for hours, windows fogged up, before arriving at Warnimont Park at 2:53 AM. That's where the battery died. That's where a severed leg was found the next day, her toes still painted pink.
In this episode, we uncover the horrifying case that shocked Milwaukee and sparked a national conversation about the epidemic of violence against Black women. Sade Robinson was dismembered, her body parts scattered across the county. Her car was set on fire. Her head has never been found. Maxwell Anderson was convicted of first-degree intentional homicide, mutilating a corpse, hiding a corpse, and arson. Prosecutors described how he "brutally and callously" killed her hours after their date, then disposed of her body parts and burned her car. Her mother, Sheena Scarbrough, had been tracking her daughter's phone for safety—a priority she had because Black women in Wisconsin are 20 times more likely to be murdered than their white peers. "She was just going on a date," Scarbrough said. "I was looking forward to experiencing her adulthood with her. Both my daughters—I wanted to see what they would become." This is the story of a young woman with dreams of joining the military, a first date that turned into a nightmare, and a mother's fight for justice that goes far beyond a conviction.
