Maxwell Anderson, 33, has been identified as a person of interest in connection to a severed human leg found in Warnimont Park in Cudahy, Milwaukee County. Authorities searched his home and he was arrested, but has not been charged. The District Attorney’s Office requested a 72-hour extension to review the evidence to build a case against him, suggesting they may not have enough evidence to hold him at this time. There have been multiple instances of human remains being found in different locations in Milwaukee County, but it is unclear if they are related to the severed leg found at the park.
The severed human leg was discovered on April 2, and within a week, human remains were found at three other locations in separate incidents. Investigators have not confirmed any connections between these incidents, and the Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office is working to piece together the evidence. Retired Milwaukee Police Lt. Detective Steve Spingola stated that DNA, phone records, and surveillance videos will be crucial in solving this case, as the dismemberment of a body is a rare occurrence. The family of missing 19-year-old Sade Robinson, whose car was found burned near where body parts were discovered, attended Anderson’s hearing.
Spingola noted that the family’s presence at the hearing indicates a potential connection between Robinson and Anderson, as their paths may have crossed at some point. Robinson’s family has been asking for donations to fund search efforts, but the GoFundMe page has now shifted to raising funds for memorial expenses. Law enforcement has not confirmed if Robinson was involved in the incidents or if she is deceased, and there is no evidence linking her to Anderson at this time. Authorities are working to gather more information and piece together the puzzle of these gruesome discoveries.
Authorities have not disclosed how Anderson became a person of interest in the case, and he has not been charged with any crimes. The investigation is ongoing, with the District Attorney’s Office requesting additional time to review the evidence before making a decision on charges. The series of discoveries of human remains in different locations within a week has sparked concern and intrigue among law enforcement officials, who are working to connect the dots between the incidents. DNA, phone records, and surveillance footage will be crucial in solving the case, as investigators work to piece together the evidence and determine any connections between Anderson and the other individuals involved.
The Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office has reported that items potentially related to the investigation were found at Warnimont Park, where the severed leg was discovered. The unusual nature of the case has drawn attention from experts like Spingola, who highlight the complexity of dismembering a body and the importance of various forms of evidence in solving the case. The family of Sade Robinson, a missing 19-year-old whose car was found near the location of body parts discovered over the weekend, has been involved in the investigation, further complicating the situation. As the investigation continues, law enforcement is working to piece together the evidence and determine any connections between the different incidents and individuals involved.
