Arm found on Waukegan beach, that of missing Milwaukee woman – NBC Chicago

Authorities in suburban Lake County have positively identified a human arm found on a Waukegan beach earlier this year as belonging to a missing Milwaukee woman.

According to a release from the Lake County Coroner's Office, a DNA match was used to identify the arm as belonging to Sade Robinson, 19, who was reported missing on April 2.

The Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office notified Robinson's family of the confirmation Tuesday.

“On behalf of the Lake County Coroner's Office, I want to express our sincere condolences to Sade's family and friends who continue to suffer this tragic loss,” Coroner Jennifer Banek said in a statement.

According to the Lake County Sheriff's Office, first responders were called to the Waukegan Municipal Beach on May 11 after a person walking along the shore found a human arm.

Forensics confirmed the arm belonged to a young woman, and DNA evidence now linked that arm to Robinson, officials said.

Maxwell Anderson, a 33-year-old Milwaukee resident, was charged with first-degree intentional homicide, mutilation of a corpse and arson in Robinson's killing, according to NBC News.
