According to police reports Maxwell Anderson and Sade Robinson had met at a restaurant for their first date where the young woman was last seen alive

Maxwell Anderson News

Maxwell Anderson, 33, has been charged in connection to the death and disappearance of 19-year-old Sade Robinson. Investigators say Anderson intentionally killed and then dismembered Robinson with the intent to conceal the murder.

Anderson has been charged with first degree intentional homicide, mutilating a corpse and arson of property other than a building.

According to the criminal complaint, investigators used cellphone data and surveillance footage to piece together the details of what happened to Robinson.

The complaint says on Monday, April 1, Anderson and Robinson met for a first date at Twisted Fisherman, a seafood restaurant located on Canal Street in Milwaukee. Investigators say surveillance footage shows the two sitting at the same table and eating at the restaurant around 5:30 p.m. and leaving just before 6:30 p.m.

Investigators used Life360, an app that provides the location of a mobile device, to track Robinson’s phone the night of April 1. The data showed Robinson’s phone traveled from Twisted Fisherman to the area of Duke’s on Water, and then to the area of Anderson’s residence — near 39th and Oklahoma.

Robinson’s device, according to the complaint, then traveled to the area of Warnimont Park between 2 and 3 a.m. — the area where officials made the first disturbing discovery hours later.

Just after 7:30 a.m. on April 2, officials found Robinson’s 2020 Honda Civic torched near 29th and Lisbon. Video surveillance shows Anderson leaving the scene and getting on a Milwaukee County transit bus just after 8 a.m. heading south towards his home. Around 5:30 p.m., the Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office located a severed leg in Warnimont Park.

Just after 1 a.m. April 4, Anderson was pulled over near 38th and Lakefield Drive by the Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office in a traffic stop that led to his arrest. In his car was the clothing he was wearing when he allegedly torched Robinson’s car. That same day, investigators executed a search warrant at Anderson’s residence. According to the complaint, blood was found on bedding in one of the bedrooms and on the walls leading toward the basement. Several gasoline containers were also found.

On Saturday, April 6, officials found a human foot while searching the area of 31st and Galena.

According to the criminal complaint, the leg found in Warnimont Park appeared to be from the same individual as the foot found near 31st and Galena, particularly due to skin tone, size, and having matching pink nail polish.

The complaint says, analysis done by the Wisconsin State Crime Lab showed DNA from the leg found in Warnimont Park determined the remains belonged to Robinson.

A probable cause statement was issued for Anderson’s arrest, and he was placed into custody last week.

The DA’s office placed Anderson on a 72-hour-hold until blood evidence had been processed, and before any formal charges could drop.

According to court documents, in 2014, Anderson plead guilty to a disorderly conduct charge. That same year, he was also charged with domestic abuse – that charge was later dismissed.

In 2015, court documents show Anderson was found guilty of domestic abuse, intimidating a witness, and criminal damage to property.

In 2019, Anderson, was found guilty for his second offense of driving while under the influence.

Most recently, in 2022, Anderson was found guilty of driving with a suspended license.

Beaumont Lamarre-Condon News

A police officer in Australia was charged with murder Friday in the deaths of his former boyfriend and his new partner, who have been missing for days and whose bodies have yet to be found.

The New South Wales Police Force said in a statement that a 28-year-old senior constable was arrested after he presented himself at a police station in the Sydney suburb of Bondi.

As is customary, the force did not name the officer, but he was identified by local media as Beau Lamarre. A first-appearance hearing was scheduled at the Waverley Local Court Friday for a Beaumont Lamarre-Condon, according to online records.

Lamarre-Condon is accused of killing Jesse Baird, 26, a former TV presenter whom he is said to have dated until recently, and his partner Luke Davies, 29, who according to his LinkedIn account was a flight attendant for the Australian airline Qantas

Items belonging to the two men that had blood on them were found in a dumpster Wednesday in the Sydney suburb of Cronulla, police said in an earlier statement.

Officers then went to Baird’s home in the Paddington area of Sydney, where there was “a large amount of blood,” detective superintendent Daniel Doherty said at a news conference Friday.

They also found a single bullet that was ballistically matched to a New South Wales police firearm belonging to the charged officer.

The gun, which was found in a police station gun safe, has been seized and will be forensically examined, Doherty said.

Investigators believe the two men were killed in Baird’s home, but they do not yet know the exact cause of death, Doherty said. He declined to comment on a possible motive but said police would investigate whether it was a “domestic-style incident.”

Doherty also appealed to the public for information on the movements of a white van that police believe was used to transport and dispose of the bodies. The van, which was rented Monday night, is also being forensically examined after being found Friday morning in Grays Point, a suburb to the south of Sydney.

“It’s really important we get the movements in relation to that van, as hopefully we can find the bodies and this is important for the family,” he said.

Beaumont Lamarre-Condon was a former celebrity blogger who joined the New South Wales police in 2020, Australian media reported. Local news outlets published photos from his now-deleted Instagram account of Lamarre-Condon posing with multiple celebrities including Taylor Swift, Harry Styles, Lady Gaga and the New Zealand singer Lorde.

Doherty said police had not received any previous reports of unusual behavior by the officer.

Don McDougal Murders Audrii Cunningham

Don McDougal is an alleged killer from Texas who has been charged with the murder of eleven year old Audrii Cunningham

According to police reports Audrii Cunningham would disappear while waiting for a school bus. Don McDougal who lived in the trailer behind her home and had twice been convicted of child enticement was immediately the main suspect and the convicted felon would be taken into custody on an unrelated assault charge while police continued to search for Audrii Cunningham

Unfortunately days after he was arrested the body of Audrii Cunningham would be found in a Texas river

Now Don McDougal is facing capital murder charges and more charges are coming. Texas does have the death penalty and I can not see a situation where prosecutors do not seek it

Don McDougal News

The Texas career criminal arrested in connection with the disappearance of Audrii Cunningham has been charged with capital murder after the 11-year-old girl was found dead Tuesday.

Polk County Jail records show Don Steven McDougal, 42, has officially been charged with murder of a person between the ages of 10 and 15, nearly a week after Audrii missed her school bus on Feb. 15.

Officials located the 11-year-old’s body in the Trinity River near the US Highway 59 bridge in Livingston, Polk County Sheriff Byron Lyons confirmed during a Tuesday press conference.

“We will continue to process the evidence that has been gathered to ensure that there is justice for Audrii,” Lyons said.

McDougal, a family friend who lived in a trailer behind Audrii’s residence in Livingston, was initially apprehended on Feb. 16 on an unrelated charge of aggravated assault.

He has been accused of dozens of crimes dating back to the early 2000s and was convicted on two child enticement charges in 2008.

“He was probably taking her to…the bus stop, and we do feel that he was the last person to see Audrii,” Lyons said of McDougal during a Monday press conference, adding that there were “some occasions” when McDougal would take Audrii to the bus stop or even to school if she missed the bus.

Audrii’s mother, Cassie Matthews, told FOX 26 Houston that she believed McDougal would babysit the 11-year-old girl while he was staying at her father’s home.

The last time Audrii was seen was Thursday at 6:45 a.m. Investigators learned she never got on the school bus that morning and she wasn’t at school all day. She was reported missing when she didn’t get off the school bus that afternoon.

Authorities said Don McDougal was friends with the family and had taken Audrii to the bus stop and school before.

Over the weekend, Texas EquuSearch was seen looking for her in an area near I-69 and the Trinity River.

In the last few days, investigators narrowed their search to the area near the Trinity River Bridge. Ultimately, that’s where her body was found.

According to Lt. Craig Cummings with the Texas Department of Public Safety, McDougal was friends with the family and lived in a camper behind the home where Audrii lived with several of her family members

Records show he has a lengthy criminal history that dates back to 2001 when he was charged with possession of marijuana out of Liberty County. The following year, he was hit with an assault of a public servant charge.

In 2003, he was charged with possession of a dangerous drug in Liberty County.

In 2005, he was arrested in Baytown for evading arrest or detention.

During the search for Audrii, Don McDougal was taken into custody on an aggravated assault with a deadly weapon charge.

In a news conference on Monday, Lyons said Don McDougal was likely the last person to see Audrii alive. Lyons also said McDougal admitted to leaving the house with her.

Before Audrii’s body was found, Don McDougal was identified by authorities as the “main person of interest.” They said he answered questions and even told investigators where he visited on the day of Audrii’s disappearance.

Troy Bohling Murders Eva Liu In Germany

Troy Bohling is an accused American killer who would murder Eva Liu in Germany

According to police reports Troy Bohling would lure two women off a trail near the Neuschwanstein castle in Germany. Once off the trail Bohiling would attempt to sexually assault Eva Liu. Bohling would push Liu companion over the ravine and continued to sexually assault. Bohling would then push Eva Liu over a 165 foot cliff causing her death. The companion would survive her fall

Troy Bohling would be arrested and charged with murder, attempted murder, rape and possession of child pornography

On the day his trial was to begin Troy Bohling would admit to the sexual assault and murder of Eva Liu. The courts in Germany are now determining whether or not his confession will stand

Troy Bohling News

American Troy Bohling confessed to rape and murder in the death of Eva Liu, a Naperville native and University of Illinoi graduate near Neuschwanstein castle in Germany.

This case put investigators on a global path from Naperville to Europe as they tried figuring out why Liu was pushed over a cliff and killed.

Just as Bohling was about to go to trial in Germany, his legal team announced a stunning admission: Bohling did rape and kill Eva Liu, as charged, and push her over a 165-foot embankment. The unexpected confession came less than a year after Liu left Naperville and went to Germany to celebrate her recent graduation from U of I.

In a matter of moments, a magnificent and picturesque 19th century castle that is thought to have inspired storybooks and fairy tales became the backdrop for a horror story.

Last June, 31-year-old Bohling, from suburban Detroit, went on a deranged sex and shoving spree. On a hiking path, Bohling targeted two Illinois women who were traveling together in Germany to celebrate their new U of I degrees. As 21-year-old Liu, a former student at Naperville Central and the Illinois Math and Science Academy, was being assaulted by Bohling, her friend and U of I classmate, 22-year-old Kelsey Chang, tried to stop the attack. Chang, from Bloomington, was pushed into the 165 foot ravine. Liu was then also tossed down the steep wooded cliff.

Helicopters and ground rescue teams had a difficult mission that day. They recovered Liu’s body. She didn’t survive the gorge. Chang did.

Bohling was arrested and charged with murder, attempted murder, rape and possession of child pornography. He shielded his face while being brought into a German court for trial on Monday.

As German justice officials were preparing to begin proceedings, Bohling’s attorney said his client admitted to the crimes.

According to German officials, the court will now consider Bohling’s confession. If convicted, they will also decide whether to extradite him to serve a sentence closer to his Michigan home.

An 11th hour confession is unusual but not unheard of. In 2019, downstate trial defendant, Brendt Christensen, did the same thing. Oddly, the case also involved a female victim connected to U of I. Christensen’s last-second strategy and admission likely kept him from the executioner. He’s now serving life without parole. Germany doesn’t have the death penalty; but it may take until sentencing to determine Bohling’s motivation for his late game confession.

Troy Bohling More News

Troy Phillip Bohling has reportedly confessed to rape and murder charges less than a year after pushing two women down a ravine near Germany’s Neuschwanstein Castle.

The June 14, 2023 incident left 21-year-old Eva Liu dead and 22-year-old Kelsey Chang injured, according to The Telegraph.

“The defendant has committed an unfathomable crime,” said defense lawyer Philip Mueller via statement, according to the Associated Press, citing the German news agency Deutsche Presse-Agentur (DPA).

According to the AP, Bohling, who is American, didn’t answer any questions but confirmed that the statement was correct. In the German legal system, defendants do not formally enter pleas to charges, notes the AP.

According to the BBC, Mueller also told the court that Bohling did not commit his actions with intent and “acted spontaneously.” Per the outlet, Mueller said Bohling was “deeply ashamed” of his actions.

The news comes months after the Michigan native was charged with murder, rape with fatal consequences, attempted murder, and possession of child pornography. At the earliest, a verdict is expected to be announced in mid-March, according to the AP.

Troy Bohling met the women while hiking on a trail close to the castle, which is said to have been the inspiration for Disney’s Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella movies, according to The Telegraph. The two women had been on a trip abroad after graduating from the University of Illinois, per the outlet.

Per The Telegraph, he told the women that he was going to take them to a spot that had a better view of the castle for selfies when he pushed Liu to the ground and allegedly raped her. After Chang attempted to intervene, he allegedly pushed her into a ravine.

Troy Bohling allegedly continued raping Liu and filmed it. According to the outlet, he allegedly then choked her with a belt and pushed her into the same ravine while she was unconscious. While both women fell in the same area, Chang survived despite the fall, while Liu died as a result of her injuries later that same night, per The Telegraph.

It was during the investigation that authorities learned that Troy Bohling’s laptop and cellphone contained child pornography, per the NY Post.
