Deadly First Date of Criminal Justice Student: Sade Robinson
Send us a text
The murder of 19-year-old Sade Robinson stands as a stark warning about the dangers that can lurk behind dating profiles. When this ambitious Milwaukee criminal justice student went missing after a first date with Maxwell Anderson in April 2024, few could have imagined the horror that would unfold.
Despite taking nearly every precaution—meeting in public, sharing her location through tracking apps, sending updates to friends—Sade fell victim to a predator who had meticulously planned her murder. What makes this case particularly heartbreaking is that Sade missed just one crucial step that might have saved her life: she never ran a background check that would have revealed Anderson's extensive history of violence and domestic abuse.
As Sade's dismembered remains began appearing throughout Milwaukee, the community was gripped by fear of a possible serial killer. Yet it was Sade herself who would help solve her own murder through the digital breadcrumbs she left behind. Surveillance footage, location data, and phone records painted a damning timeline of Anderson's movements, including disposing of body parts at multiple locations and setting Sade's car ablaze.
The evidence recovered from Anderson's home—including a prepared basement with plastic tarping, deleted photos of Sade's body, and research on "what not to mix with bleach"—revealed a level of premeditation that shocked even seasoned investigators. A witness even testified that Anderson had shared his murder plans a month before carrying them out.
This episode explores not only the tragic details of Sade's murder but also the broader context of violence against women of color in Milwaukee, where Black women are 20 times more likely to be murdered than their white counterparts. Through her mother's advocacy work with Sade's Voice Foundation, this young woman's legacy continues in the fight for justice for all missing and murdered BIPOC women.
