Family of woman murdered, dismembered after date in Wisconsin notified about severed arm found at Waukegan Beach
The family of a 19-year-old woman who was murdered and dismembered after a date in Wisconsin has been notified after a severed arm was discovered at the Waukegan Beach.
The Waukegan Police Department responded around 8 p.m. Saturday to the Waukegan Municipal Beach, 201 East Sea Horse Drive.
A person walking along the beach saw what they believed to be a human arm on the ground.
Officers arrived and found the arm next to a fallen tree trunk at the beach.
The Lake County Coroner’s Office was notified and responded to the scene.
They confirmed the arm belonged to a human. The right arm was “mostly intact” from the shoulder down, according to Lake County Chief Deputy Coroner Steve Newton.
The arm was transported to the coroner’s office where a forensic pathologist conducted an exam of it on Monday.
Newton said a forensic anthropologist has been requested to perform a further study.
The arm is believed to be from a female. The forensic anthropologist will determine the age and gender of the victim, Newton said.
The coroner’s office said they are also working with a police department in a neighboring state on the investigation.
The police department’s crime lab is in the process of collecting DNA specimens from the arm for analysis.
According to FOX6 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the family of Sade Robinson was notified by investigators on Sunday about the discovery of the arm. The DNA testing is still pending.
The Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office said last month that Robinson, 19, was murdered and dismembered around April 2.
A criminal complaint filed by the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office said Maxwell S. Anderson, 33, of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, intentionally killed Robinson, mutilated her remains and set fire to her car in an attempt to obscure potential evidence of the killing.
Robinson met up with Anderson for a first date on the evening of April 1 at the Twisted Fisherman restaurant in Milwaukee before she went missing, the complaint said.
The two were seen at the bar inside the restaurant eating and having drinks together before leaving just over an hour later.
The complaint said a severed human leg was later discovered at Warnimont Park in Cudahy, Wisconsin.
A severed human foot was later located in a wooded area near 31st Street and Galena in Milwaukee.
Both body parts were believed to belong to Robinson based on investigators’ analysis, according to the complaint. Other body parts were also discovered in separate locations in Milwaukee.
Anderson was charged with first-degree intentional homicide, mutilating a corpse and arson.
Robinson’s family has continued to search for her remains. “The family is still actively searching and just wants closure and this to be able to move forward quickly,” said Dee-Dee Davis, an activist who has been working with the family, FOX6 reported.
Badgers have two big opportunities to boost RPI at home vs. Minnesota, Indiana
Wisconsin coach Kelly Sheffield comments on getting swept by Nebraska
Wisconsin volleyball became the 12th consecutive team to be swept by top-ranked Nebraska. Here’s what Kelly Sheffield said after the loss.
MADISON – Wisconsin volleyball coach Kelly Sheffield has not shied away from expressing his dislike of RPI.
“There’s a lot of different metrics out there; our sport uses very little of them,” Sheffield said earlier in the season.
But RPI – as Sheffield fully recognizes – underscores how important Wisconsin’s next two matches are as the 11th-ranked Badgers take on No. 22 Minnesota on Nov. 5 and No. 18 Indiana on Nov. 9 at the UW Field House.
Wisconsin is No. 20 in RPI in the Nov. 3 rankings with eight matches remaining in the 2025 schedule. Indiana and Minnesota are tied for No. 12 in RPI.
“Two teams that are above us in the RPI,” Sheffield said. “And you start getting to this time of year that those types of things start mattering a little bit more.”
While RPI obviously is not the only factor that the NCAA selection committee will use when it announces the postseason bracket on Nov. 30, it does suggest the Badgers have some work to do to earn one of the top 16 overall seeds that are required to host the first two rounds.
UW has hosted the first two rounds in all but two seasons during Sheffield’s tenure. The Badgers had to go to Iowa State in 2017, where they knocked off the Cyclones to advance to the regional semifinals. The other time was in 2020, when the NCAA used only one site due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Obviously a big goal is to be hosting that opening weekend of the tournament,” Sheffield said. “It’s a big deal. It’s a big deal to this community and our fan base. … Coaches are always trying to find a way to spin it anyways, but you really want to be home.”
These two matches are not Wisconsin’s last chance to boost its postseason résumé and increase its chances of hosting. No. 9 Purdue will visit the Field House on Nov. 19, and No. 22 Minnesota will play the Badgers again on Nov. 28 in Minneapolis to conclude the 2025 regular season.
But there is not a massive margin for error for a Badgers team with four losses and only one win against teams currently ranked in the AVCA coaches poll. (Georgia Tech, Florida and UCLA were ranked at the time of Wisconsin’s wins over them, but now they are merely receiving votes.)
None of last year’s top 16 overall teams had more than seven losses. Fortunately for Wisconsin, all four losses so far this year have been to teams that remain ranked, No. 1 Nebraska, No. 4 Texas, No. 17 USC and No. 25 Penn State. Texas and Nebraska are a combined 40-2 so far this season.
At the same time, Wisconsin has not been quite as competitive against top-tier opponents since losing 2024 third-team All-American setter Charlie Fuerbringer to a shoulder injury. (Her timeline to return is unclear.)
The Badgers are 1-3 against AVCA-ranked teams since Fuerbringer’s injury versus 3-1 before that. That record comes with the caveat that the most recent ranked loss – No. 1 Nebraska’s sweep at the UW Field House – would have been daunting, even if Fuerbringer had been healthy.
“We’ve just got to continue to evolve and get better, which I think anybody that’s been watching us can see that,” Sheffield said.
Victories over Minnesota and Indiana would likely stand out on Wisconsin’s postseason résumé as quality wins. The Gophers have lost only once against a team that is not at least receiving votes in the coaches poll and boast a quality win over Indiana.
Then Wisconsin will face what Sheffield described as “maybe the best team that Indiana has ever had.” The Hoosiers are tied with UW for third in the Big Ten with a 9-3 conference record and coming off a sweep over Penn State.
“We’ve got two more opportunities in front of us – really good teams – and then it doesn’t stop there,” Sheffield said. “Probably the back half of our schedule is probably a little bit tougher than our first half. And I think we’ll probably learn a whole lot more about ourselves.”

A driver swerved off a Wisconsin interstate after falling asleep at the wheel on Halloween.
A “drowsy driver” swerved off a Wisconsin interstate after falling asleep at the wheel on Halloween morning, with the moment caught on police dashcam.

Columbia County Sheriff’s Office said the driver was on an extended road trip from Michigan to Minnesota and had tried to drive through the night on only an hour’s sleep.
In the footage, the driver is seen swerving into the wide grassy median of the I90/94 near Portage.
“Every year, thousands of crashes are caused by drivers who simply didn’t get enough rest,” the sheriff’s office warned. “Arriving late is better than not arriving at all. Please, make the safe choice – stay alert, stay rested, and keep our roads safe.”
The sheriff said the driver was not injured in the crash.
Ohio State transfer Grace Egan hits .667 in return to Columbus
Wisconsin coach Kelly Sheffield comments on getting swept by Nebraska
Wisconsin volleyball became the 12th consecutive team to be swept by top-ranked Nebraska. Here’s what Kelly Sheffield said after the loss.
Two days after getting dominated by the best team in the Big Ten, No. 11 Wisconsin volleyball was on the more enjoyable side of a rout against the worst team in the Big Ten.
The Badgers eased past Ohio State in three sets, 25-14, 25-12, 25-14, while hitting above .400 for the first time against a Big Ten foe this season on Sunday, Nov. 2 in Columbus, Ohio.
Wisconsin is now 9-3 in Big Ten play while Ohio State is 0-12. Here are three takeaways from the match:
Mimi Colyer has dominant start
UW coach Kelly Sheffield, with star outside hitter (and postseason award candidate) Mimi Colyer two seats away, said that Nebraska’s Bergen Reilly is “probably the best player in the conference” after the Huskers’ sweep over the Badgers.
Colyer responded two days later with a dominant performance in the Badgers’ next match.
Wisconsin’s first four points were on Colyer’s four kills. Her first eight attempted attacks all ended in kills, and her first attack error did not come until early in the second set. Her ninth kill prompted a “goodness gracious” from the Big Ten Network play-by-play commentator.
As usual, Colyer was a threat in both the front and back rows. She had other attacks that put Ohio State in challenging positions, such as when her attack led to an Ohio State overpass and a joust won by UW teammate Carter Booth in the second set.
Colyer finished the match with 17 kills while hitting .441. She has recorded 10-plus kills in all but one match this season and now is averaging 5.2 kills per set, which trails only Penn State’s Kennedy Martin in the Big Ten.
Grace Egan stands out in multiple ways in her homecoming
Ohio State transfer Grace Egan expressed excitement during a media availability last week to be playing at a “home away from home” for the Badgers’ Nov. 2 match at Ohio State.
She played like she was at a home away from home, too, recording seven kills at an exceptionally efficient .667 clip. She also had two service aces, which were tied for the team lead, and was second on the team with eight digs.
Colyer and Egan were two of the five Badgers who finished the match with a hitting percentage above .400. The others were Carter Booth at .500, Una Vajagic at .444 and Addy Horner at .667.
Badgers thrive again on defense
One match after allowing a season-high .349 hitting percentage against No. 1 Nebraska, Wisconsin’s defense looked the part in its win over Ohio State.
The Badgers held Ohio State to a .078 hitting percentage in the uneventful three-set sweep. The Buckeyes became UW’s seventh opponent to hit below .100, joining Marquette, Rutgers, Iowa, then-No. 23 UCLA, UW-Milwaukee and Chicago State.
Wisconsin “set the tone defensively,” Sheffield said in the postgame radio interview.
“Our backcourt was flying around without hesitation,” Sheffield said. “And it starts with that. I think sometimes when you’re overthinking, you can start hesitating. … I thought we were settled and reading the game and then pursuing aggressively.”
