Blood evidence found in the home of Maxwell Anderson, the man accused of killing and mutilating 19-year-old Sade Robinson in Wisconsin, does not match the college student’s DNA, according to an amended complaint obtained by CNN affiliate WDJT. Robinson was reported missing on April 2 when she didn’t show up for work following a first date with Anderson, according to the original criminal complaint filed last week. Her car was found on fire the day after the date. Her remains were found on the beach and near where her car was found. Anderson, 33, has been charged with first-degree intentional homicide, mutilating a corpse, and arson of property other than building, in Robinson’s death. In an updated complaint obtained by WDJT Monday, a new footnote in the court document states that the preliminary DNA analysis performed by the Wisconsin Crime Lab “supports the conclusion that there is no support for inclusion of Robinson’s DNA in any of the blood or swabs tested.” The original criminal complaint detailed evidence police said ties Anderson to the crimes, including surveillance video, witness accounts, and phone records. Authorities also found blood in Anderson’s house and “several gasoline containers.” In court Monday, Anderson pleaded not guilty to all charges against him, according to CNN affiliate WDJT.
