The blood found inside the home of the suspected killer of Sade Robinson does not match her DNA, according to Milwaukee County officials.
FOX 6 Milwaukee reporter Erin Maybin tells Nancy Grace on Monday’s “Crime Stories” that investigators swabbed a basement wall inside suspect Maxwell Alexander’s home and determined it belonged to someone else besides Robinson. Still, it’s unclear if there are additional victims.
“We know that that blood was not Sade Robinson’s DNA,” Maybin said. “I don’t want to go too far, you know, talking about what else it could be, but we do know that it’s not Sade Robinson’s blood.”
Assistant Milwaukee County District Attorney Ian Vance-Curzan confirmed the information in an amended complaint filed last Monday, when Anderson pleaded not guilty during his court appearance.
“It just indicates that the preliminary DNA analysis supports the conclusion that there is no support for inclusion of Robinson’s DNA in any of the blood or swabs that have been tested, and in some of those, her DNA’s been excluded,” Vance-Curzan said.
As CrimeOnline previously reported, prosecutors allege that 33-year-old Anderson and 19-year-old Robinson went on a first date on April 1, at a Milwaukee seafood restaurant he used to work at.
Police found Robinson’s Honda Civic in Milwaukee the following morning, burned out after a witness said she saw a man flicking something into the vehicle. Later, they found her severed leg at Warnimont Park in Cudahy, several miles away.
Anderson was subsequently arrested and charged with homicide, mutilating a corpse, and arson.
Then, on April 18, according to the Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office, a passerby walking along a remote area at a beach in South Milwaukee discovered a torso and an arm shortly before 7:30 a.m. The body parts have not been officially linked yet, although police believe they are of Robinson.
Police do not yet know where Robinson was killed but now believe it happened sometime between when the pair arrived at Anderson’s home at 9:24 p.m. on April 1 and when he left Warnimont Park at 4:30 the next morning.
Before her death, Robinson was pursuing studies in criminal justice at Milwaukee Area Technical College. She had also dedicated three years of work at Pizza Shuttle, never once missing a shift. Concerns arose when she failed to show up for work two weeks ago, prompting one to request a welfare check from the police.
Anderson remains behind bars on a $5 million bond. Check back for updates.
