Description

In a surprising development in the gruesome murder case of 19-year-old Sade Robinson, court documents reveal that blood found in the home of the accused, Maxwell Anderson, does not match the DNA of the victim. This revelation comes from an updated criminal complaint obtained by Court TV, which highlights preliminary DNA analysis results from the Wisconsin State Crime Lab.

Maxwell Anderson, 33, has been charged with first-degree intentional homicide, mutilating a corpse, and arson. The case has gripped the local community since Robinson, who was last seen alive on April 1, failed to show up for work the following day. Her car was discovered torched shortly after her disappearance, and authorities subsequently found severed human remains across the area, believed to be hers.

Court records indicate that Robinson and Anderson had dinner together on the day she vanished, with eyewitnesses reporting they left the restaurant together. Initially, the discovery of blood on bedding and a wall leading to Anderson's basement seemed to corroborate suspicions against him. However, the updated complaint states, "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 tested, and of some of those swabs, Robinson’s DNA is excluded."

During a recent court appearance, Anderson waived his right to a preliminary hearing. Scripps News Milwaukee quoted prosecutor Ian Vance-Curzan, who reflected on the DNA findings at the hearing, saying, “It indicates that the preliminary DNA supports the conclusion that there is no support for inclusion of Robinson’s DNA in the blood or swabs that have been tested.” The ambiguity over whose blood was found at the scene remains unresolved.

Anderson's plea of not guilty to the charges sets the stage for further legal proceedings, with his case due back in court on May 16 for a scheduling conference. The unexpected twist in DNA evidence could play a critical role in the ongoing investigation and subsequent trial.

As the community and Robinson's family seek answers, the question of whose blood was found in Anderson's home adds a layer of complexity to a case already marked by tragic and violent details. The authorities continue their investigation, hoping to uncover more evidence that could shed light on the circumstances surrounding Robinson’s death.
