Dave Mack
5:30pm April 2, Cutahay police respond to a call along Lake Michigan at Warnamont Park, a popular recreation area. A park goer reports finding a severed human leg.
Unidentified Narrator
Three days after the Warnamont park discovery, another called to police about a severed body part. 11 miles away from the shores of Lake Michigan, in a Milwaukee west side neighborhood, a body part is found at a playground. Within 24 hours, police respond to another call about the discovery of human remains.
Nancy Grace
After a car is found on fire. Paired with a pet tribute blanket found near some of the human remains, police begin to focus on a beautiful young teen girl. Sade. Listen.
Unidentified Narrator
Sade Robinson graduates with honors a semester early from Riverside High School. She continues her education at Milwaukee Area Technical College, working towards her associate's degree in criminal justice. In fact, she's only a month away from graduating. But Robinson hasn't been spending all her times in the books. She works through high school and college at the Pizza Shuttle on Milwaukee's Lower east side. She makes such a difference at work that her co workers say Robinson is considered the heart of Pizza Shuttle. Former owner Mark Gold says she is the type of employee who never calls out and is loved by customers and her co workers.
Nancy Grace
You know, I just, she's everything you want your child to be. She's this fantastic student. She is working while she's going to school, very close family, tons of relatives in the military. And she is inspired to consider the U.S. air Force. I mean, this is the girl we all want to have. And just look at her. I remember my grandmother, I would give her my school picture every year and she could say, I can just see, see the mischief coming out of your eyes. Look at this girl. Can't you just see the joy, just the love of life crackling smart, just beaming out of her. How in the world did she collide cross paths with an alleged spoiled brat killer? The son of a Milwaukee millionaire, a former ex high school football star, now a 30 something bartender. You know what? I want to get off him and back to Sade. Let me see that beautiful face again, Liz. I want to see that picture of Sade in her. Look at her. I like the one of her in her. She's at home. There's a big cross on the wall behind her and she's got on her, she's getting ready for cap. And get there, there. Oh, my goodness. Joining me is a very special guest along with an all star panel. This is Sade's mother, Ms. Sheena Scarborough. I didn't know you were going to hold that up. And just showing that says it all. It just says it all. You know, Ms. Scarborough, whenever I have to travel for work, my backpack is so heavy because I have all these mementos of the twins I carry with me and set up wherever I am.
Sheena Scarborough
No, I hear you talk about these ones a lot, Nancy.
Nancy Grace
It's just telling me to think that you have this picture instead of your girl. First of all, tell me about Sade.
Sheena Scarborough
Sade is beautiful, beautiful soul. I knew that my kids were very special and different. My parents raised me. They raised us. We are lightworkers. We put out positive energy. We exert. We help others. I'm a community advocate as a personal way of my life, the way I live. I've worked for others. I help others my whole life. I've raised my daughters that way. My daughters have excelled. I have two daughters. This has caused so much emotional effect to my family. Her, her, my parents who love my baby so much. Her grandparents, her uncles, her aunties, the community, everyone has pulled up. This has affected many people in Milwaukee. I'm coming here today. This is the hardest thing I would ever have to do in my life to speak Sade's voice. Sade was a beautiful soul. She was an amazing girl, Nancy. Everything he spoke was exactly what my daughter exerted. I couldn't have asked for any better daughter. There was things my daughter did that many adults were not even able to accomplish in their lifetimes. And I'll be 43 in a week. My birthday is on April 27. Sade's birthday is on May 10. I had her on Mother's Day. The son of a. I'm gonna watch my language on this platform. But this son of a took my daughter from me a month before. She's graduating with her Associate of Arts degree. She works so hard. She's a full time student. She has two full time jobs. She has her own little bachelorette apartment. She doesn't stay in a college dorm campus. She has her own bachelorette apartment. She has her own car. She pays all of her own bills. This is traumatizing, Nancy. I never expected this to pull up on my front door. This isn't normal. This is a 2024 Jeffrey Dahmer. I need him held accountable. I need justice for Sha Dae. There has been A lot of in many black and brown girls that have been gone missing in Milwaukee for a moment and all of them are going to be held accountable now because they put they mess with the wrong family. They mess with the wrong family because we're not going to sit quiet and we're not going to sit still and we're going to call all of them out and we're going to speak for the whole community because I'm not about to sit down and I'm not about to sit still on this one. It's justice for Sade, Nancy. It's justice.
Nancy Grace
Ms. Scarborough, I feel like anything, anything I or anybody on this panel could say right now, it pales compared to what you just said. And believe me, Ms. Scarborough, this story of Sade has not just touched people in Milwaukee, it has touched people around the world. And when you say you're not going to sit back, neither are we until there is justice for your girl. And the other missing and murdered girls across Milwaukee, they're not all just missing, they're dead. Many of them are dead
Penn Foster / SimpliSafe Advertiser
guys.
Nancy Grace
With me is Sade's mother who is in so much pain. But she is joining us tonight to speak out for shade. What happened? What led up to this night?
Sheena Scarborough
Yes, Nancy, this is. Yes, Nancy. The last time I spoke to my daughter was on Easter Sunday. Okay. We seen her, she came by my parents home. We spent the Sunday together. This was Easter Sunday. Okay. I cooked for them, both of my daughters. We all met by my parents house where I'm currently at. We all commute here. All my girls are busy. They're my youngest is 16. They have a lot of activities. They're working, they go to school. I have very successful and independent self sufficient daughters. We harm and hurt nobody. We just put out and help others into the universe.
Carlos Robinson
Okay.
Sheena Scarborough
So I seen like she, it's just very, it's like she's a 19, 20 year old young lady.
Okay.
We all, at this age, we have a lot of friends. She's not in a relationship. She didn't have a boyfriend. She wasn't tied down to anyone. She's single and she's dating. I knew she hung out with her co workers at Pizza Shuttle. They went out to little bars and hung out sometimes. I'm a very concerned mother. I'm very overprotective. I always would put in Shani's ear, be careful. I don't trust these people around Milwaukee. I'm just that extra type of mom and my daughter's always mom, just sit back. I try to give them space, let them be independent. But I just been having this vibe and intuition and I have been wanting her just to like not hang out and go out to places for some reason and I don't know exactly and I'm still trying to find out the facts. But I know that this type of, this individual and I want to make clarity because there's been a lot of trolls, there's been a lot of media I can't interact and deal with. I'm grieving my daughter right now. I want respect. I need time. They're claiming this was a first date. Like, you know, it's just a first day. I don't just do never. She never mentioned this dude to us. And I agree with you.
Nancy Grace
We're learning a little bit about that. We're learning a little bit about that. Take a listen to Dave Mack. Crime Online.
Dave Mack
A month away from turning 20, Sade Robinson tells a maintenance worker at her building that she's excited about her first date with 33 year old Maxwell Anderson. Robinson texts Anderson about where to eat and tells him she's feeling seafood. Anderson takes Sade to a place he used to work, the Twisted Fisherman. After dinner, they spend some more time together having drinks at Duke's on water. The couple leaves Duke's together around 9pm
Nancy Grace
Straight out to Alexis Toreschuk joining us, crimeonline.com investigative reporter. How do we know that they were together that night they met there?
Alexis Torres
There are multiple surveillance cameras outside these restaurants, both of them that show her arriving, walking through the east side of the restaurant. He arrived on the west side. There's such good video footage of this. This is just such a good helpful part of the case. They go there together. He used to work there at the Twisted Fisherman. So the bartender there spoke with police and said they came in, they sat at the bar together, they had a drink. It seemed friendly and casual. Nothing that would alert the bartender to anything that was wrong. He said they just had a few drinks and they left within an hour.
Nancy Grace
To Ms. Scarborough, this is Sade's mother. When did somebody realize they needed to call you and ask where's Sade?
Sheena Scarborough
Yeah, so it was Wednesday. Nancy. I was at my job. I went to work that morning. I got off as soon as I
got home from work.
I was receiving calls from my, my, my mother, my brother. We were all concerned because we all have the 360 location app. Okay. We all share it as the family. So I have the app shared with me, my mom, both of my daughters, then my daughter also shares Shade My oldest daughter also shares the app with additional friends. Monday morning I seen her getting ready for work. She FaceTimed me. Then she that evening around 3:45 4:00', clock, I got a text message from her asking a cash app for $15. My daughter does not ask me for money like she has. My daughter makes more money than me. Literally. She's that was that boss. Okay so like it wasn't a big deal. I'm just that type of mom. You need something, I'm going to cash app it.
Nancy Grace
So you get this test asking for $15 and Sade would never have done that. I mean she could have charged Apple pay, you name it. So you knew right then something was wrong and then this. Take a listen to Chief Jeffrey Norman
Carlos Robinson
on Saturday, April 6, MPD continued the search in the area and located additional human remains on the railroad tracks. Later in the Evening on Saturday, April 6, MPD returned to the area when Ms. Robinson's family located her blanket. At this time, detectives located additional human remains.
Unidentified Narrator
According to court documents, the remains found Saturday included human flesh and a foot. The foot had pink nail polish, possibly matching the polish on the leg found days earlier.

stories with Nancy Grace. Joseph Scott Morgan, renowned professor of forensics, Jacksonville State University. We're talking about a severed leg and a severed arm. And somebody at the medical examiners went, look, the fingernail polish matches. I don't need DNA. A jury's not going to need DNA, but they're going to have it. For why?
Amazon Health AI Advertiser
Because every contact, as you mentioned, does in fact leave a trace. We've known that for over 100 years now, and it's coming to fruition here in this, in the world in which we inhabit. DNA is going to play a big role in this. And we're talking about proximity, Nancy with the alleged perpetrator here, he will have had a very intimate contact. Unfortunately, with Sade, just this idea of dismemberment alone is going to leave a trace behind. And it's not necessarily his trace on her as much as it will be her trace on him potentially. And ultimately it could be her Sade that actually brings him to justice. Her DNA will be found on him and it will be pointing a big accusing false finger back at him.
Nancy Grace
On Wednesday, April 4, our investigation led to a person of interest, Maxwell Stephen Anderson, who lives in the 3100 block of South 39th street where he was arrested after a traffic stop near the home. A search warrant was conducted. Not only did blood evidence emerge in his home, this guy, this idiot, technical legal term, left a phone trail a mile wide. You know, when you look at his home, you think, wow, beautiful yard, immaculately kept. You know, why? Not because of him. 33 year old, former high school football star. He's a Nepo baby. Nepotism baby. This 33 year old guy, Maxwell Anderson, has a millionaire dad who ran a Milwaukee insurance brokerage firm. Now what do we know about him? Alexis Torres?
Alexis Torres
Chuck, he has a rap sheet.
Sheena Scarborough
He.
Alexis Torres
He has been arrested for domestic. I'm sorry, not just arrested. Convicted for domestic abuse, for disorderly conduct and for drunk driving. This guy has a rap sheet a mile long. He is not an upstanding citizen of the community. And as I said, these are not just arrests. We're waiting to hear from. He has been convicted of all three of these things.
Nancy Grace
Let me talk about this guy. Police find a foot, apparently human flesh at a playground. Pink nail polish matching up in the home. They find blood, gasoline containers, packages addressed to the defendant, very important. Blood on a comforter. Blood scattered throughout the home. Let me tell you this, and I'm going to go to you. Fat is with me. High profile trial lawyer, TV legal analyst, founding partner of the Warner Faddis elite legal group. Eric, this isn't his first time at the rodeo. You don't go from zero to 120 miles per hour in two seconds. There has to be something. Some revving up, up to not only a murder, but a luring, luring her onto a day. How many times do you think he watched her come in, have a drink, have dinner, anything like that before he gets the guts up to say, hey, would you like to go to dinner? He planned this. What about it, Eric?
Eric Faddis
Yeah, Nancy, it's chilling to think about what was going through Maxwell Anderson's mind, allegedly as he appears to have been preparing for this. You know, the details give rise to a predatory nature here, that there's a huge age gap. Right? And then there's also a friend who says that Maxwell Anderson had a five foot by six foot deep hole. Hole dug in his backyard. And then we look at the rapidity, how quickly this turning from a murder to dismemberment in a like overnight.
Unidentified Narrator
A neighbor's security camera shows two figures entering Anderson's backyard at 9:24pm at 12:47am A street camera shows Robinson's car departing Anderson's home. A camera at Cutahay High School shows a car drive toward the pump house at Warnamont Park. At 2:53am a figure is seen walking from the road and climbing down the bluff to the beach several times. At 4:31am the car leaves the park. Three hours later, bus surveillance catches a man carrying a tan backpack walking away from a fire at 30th and Lisbon. At 8:12am Anderson, carrying a tan backpack, is seen boarding a bus heading toward his home. Anderson gets off at 8:35am and enters his backyard eight minutes later.
Nancy Grace
Ms. Scarborough, you haven't even been able to have a funeral yet.
Sheena Scarborough
Why yes, that's correct.
Nancy this is probably the hardest part
that we're struggling with right now. Trying to find peace, bring my daughter to rest. Yik solace. Let's give her her transition that she deserves because she was taken too soon. My baby was only she didn't even make 20. She was 20 in a few weeks on May 10th. Nancy they don't, they can't even provide us with a death certificate right now. The they don't even know the cause of my daughter's death. They don't know when like they not giving me enough information. NANCY this is so frustrating. There is no closure right now for me and my family.
Unidentified Narrator
As volunteer searchers try to locate all of teen girl Sade Robinson's remains. A fourth set of body parts, this time at a remote tree lined stretch of beach along south Michigan. Just after 7am Someone walking along a South Milwaukee waterline discovered an arm and torso. The remains washed ashore about a quarter of a mile from a nearby apartment complex.
Nancy Grace
This is the fourth set of remains, this time a torso. What else is missing? Out to Erin Mabin, investigative reporter and anchor for Fox 6 in Milwaukee. Erin, thank you for being with us. There's so, so much happening and so quickly in the Sade Robinson case. But first I want to go to the torso. We have a torso, a female torso that has washed up, so to speak. We have unidentified blood. AARON may BEND this is blood on bedding going up the wall from the basement. And we know that the basement now uncovered was a sex dungeon and blood elsewhere in the home. Blood where it shouldn't be in the normal course of one's routine. So with all of this happening, I can't help but wonder, are there more victims? Since that blood does not match Sade, and we have reason to believe it doesn't match the defendant, the suspect. But back to the torso. Tell me everything.
Erin Mabin
Well, you know, this all began with a severed leg at a park in Cudahay. And it just sparked so much mystery. And that's what this case has been, Nancy, a ton of mystery. Where are these body parts first off coming from? And then we later learned that it is Sade Robinson who's been a missing girl. The latest was that arm and torso that washed up on shore. Someone was walking along the beach, Nancy, and they found this arm and torso. Now, let's go back to that severed leg, because these places where they were found, really not close to each other. They're a few miles away, about a 10 minute drive from each other. And police were quickly able to identify that this arm and torso were that of Sade Robinson's.
Nancy Grace
There's a very strong possibility that there are other victims. And you know where I'm going with this, Aaron Mabin. If you don't know a horse, look at his track record. Has he put other victims? Specifically, who was that grave dug for in his backyard? Whose blood is that on his wall? Who else had been in that sex torture chamber that he had in his basement? So if he put part of Sade in the water, ergo, has he put other victims in the water? See where I'm going with this?
Erin Mabin
We know that right now police are just searching for Sade Robinson in connection to Maxwell Anderson. They swabbed bedding, they swabbed a wall in the basement. We know that that blood was not Sade Robinson's DNA.
Nancy Grace
Speaking of searching the home, listen to this.
Unidentified Narrator
Maxwell Anderson had a sex dungeon in the basement of his West Milwaukee home. According to a law enforcement source, cops found a sex sling, restraints, and handcuffs. A close friend of Anderson's said that on a visit to Anderson's home last year, he noticed a large hole in the ground that was about 5ft long by 6 foot deep. Anderson said he was working on an underground basement, despite having a large basement in the home already. Neighbors say the basement in the home had small windows that were always covered so you could not see inside.
Nancy Grace
Joining us right now, crimeonline.com, investigative reporter Sydney Sumner. Sydney, thank you for being with us. Sydney, what can you tell me about gas cans being found in the suspect's home? And I want to Just ask one more time about the blood, the location of the blood.
Unidentified Narrator
Nancy, they found those gas cans and the blood stains on that search warrant from April 4th. Gas cans were found in the garage. And that just further corroborates that Anderson is responsible for that car fire. We remember he was seen entering a bus just after the fire started, carrying a tan backpack matching multiple witness descriptions. And that blood again, was found on bedding, on a comforter, and on the wall of a stairwell leading down to the basement where that sex dungeon apparently is.
Nancy Grace
I mean, I guess I need a shrink on this one. Attorney Eric Faddis. But who digs a grave in the backyard and doesn't use it? What does that say? What's that
Eric Faddis
exactly? I mean, you don't need a PhD to find out kind of what a person's intention was. It's a 5ft by 6ft grave. It's a human body size.
Dave Mack
Footage from inside the unfinished basement that police have called a sex dungeon shows it's in disarray. A large hole has been dug in the concrete floor. A drain in the floor is stuffed with towels. The drain cover marked with evidence numbers. A door without a handle leads to a dark closet. And there are several tables, a chair and exercise equipment. The mattress of a queen bed frame is flipped on its side and bedding is tossed over a table in the corner of the room.
Nancy Grace
You are seeing footage that we have managed to obtain of the underground torture chamber as it has been described. But there is more. More than what you're seeing. From a hacksaw to a circular saw to a power drill, a grave dug in the backyard, various sex paraphernalia, all found in this underground bunker belonging to the son of a Milwaukee millionaire. We also learn that he was in fact digging another underground lair. What, if anything, will this reveal?

Let's take a minute to unpack the myths behind GLP1 drugs Myth 1 GLP1 is a long term solution for weight loss True GLP1 can potentially be a long term solution for weight loss. If you want to be on a drug that changes your body's natural instincts, GLP1 can fix your metabolism. False GLP1s fix hunger and this leads to weight loss. But the GLP1s may actually slow down your metabolic rate as your body adjusts to consuming fewer calories. GLP1 leads to a loss of muscle mass True GLP1 can lead to a loss of muscle mass due to losing weight so rapidly that your body is pulling from both fat and muscle to make up for the energy gap from consuming so few calories.

Crime Stories with Nancy Grace
Nancy Grace
Joining US now is Sade's father, Mr. Carlos Robinson. Mr. Robinson, thank you for being with us.
Carlos Robinson
Yes, you're welcome.
Nancy Grace
Mr. Robinson, when did you learn that Sade had been killed
Carlos Robinson
for sure? When the DNA came back as a match to mine when she was missing, I was hopeful she was still here.
Nancy Grace
Up until that point, did you believe that she was just missing, that she would be found?
Carlos Robinson
That's what I was praying for, that she would be found, that the body parts wasn't hers and that she was going to be found.
Nancy Grace
Mr. Robinson, there was a moment where a volunteer, not police, but a volunteer, discovered, as it's being called, a pet tribute blanket and it was found wet and dirty and filthy in a park area, a park for children area, and nearby were human body parts. When you heard her blanket, her little pet tribute blanket had been found, what went through your mind?
Carlos Robinson
All of this is incomprehensible. You know, I don't understand how the community and I appreciate everything that they're doing how they can find a blanket that was already searched by an area that was already searched by the authorities.
Nancy Grace
Was it, Mr. Robinson, had that area been thoroughly searched by authorities? Because it's my understanding, volunteers for found body parts as well?
Carlos Robinson
Yeah, I, I talked to the police after they, the, the blanket was found and I asked them why they didn't find it because they told me they searched that area previously. I've been here since 11 o' clock last night. I haven't been to sleep. I've been to the parts I've been all over with flashlights, binoculars and I just don't feel like I can sleep. I just need to. I just want to find her, you know, there's only two body parts left we have found and I just want to put her to rest properly. I keep having dreams about it. I just want her to at least rest in peace and I, I can't, can't do that until I have her together. They won't even let me see the body parts they have because they said it's evidence. So I'm, I'm just trying to do what I can do to find, hoping she leads me to it.
Nancy Grace
Mr. Robinson, just thank you so much for speaking with us today because I know your heart is breaking and you have been looking through the night out with a flashlight trying to find your daughter, her body parts. Tell me about Sade. In life,
Carlos Robinson
my baby girl was an amazing person. She was, she was full of love. She was a giver. She would give you the shirt off her back. She had a very good heart. She was intelligent.
Nancy Grace
Mr. Robinson, what did she Want to be. When she got out of college, what did she want to do?
Carlos Robinson
Her goal was to be a lawyer. Ultimately, she was graduating for criminal justice, but she was torn between military and being a lawyer. But she always wanted to be a lawyer.
Nancy Grace
How proud of her were you going to college, paying her way, working. I mean, this girl did it all.
Carlos Robinson
Yeah, she did. She did. She. She was a very independent minded person. She would call me and tell me, you know, dad, I'm doing this or I'm doing that.
Nancy Grace
You stated that two body parts have not been found. What part of Sade has not been found?
Carlos Robinson
Her head and one of her arms, sir.
Nancy Grace
When you learned that she was, quote, excited about her date with this Milwaukee millionaire's son, what goes through your mind?
Carlos Robinson
None of it makes sense to me. She did not just seem this guy was not her type at all. I don't know how he got her to come to his house, but that's not something I could see my daughter doing, especially with somebody she didn't know.
Nancy Grace
Mr. Robinson, we are learning about this guy underground torture chamber. What goes through your mind when you hear about that? I think my father would just lay down on the ground and cry.
Carlos Robinson
It takes a different kind of evil to do something like this.
Nancy Grace
Joining me right now is a very special guest, a woman I now consider a friend, Sheena Scarborough. This is Sade's mother. How do you keep putting one foot in front of the other?
Sheena Scarborough
Oh, yes, Nancy, this is so challenging.
Daily.
I don't know how I'm doing it. I'm walking in Shoddy's spirit and inner grace. I am her voice. I have to speak and advocate through her for others. This is not something that just like pulled up and happened. I don't know. This is a waking nightmare, Haley. Every day I wake up. I can't believe what is taking place. I am Sade Robinson's mother. This is very ongoingly tragic. My baby was my everything. She's my light. She's my star. She was so independent, self sufficient. She had her whole life ahead of her. She worked two jobs. She was dedicated.
She was strong.
Wrong. The Maxwell Anderson that harmed and hurt my baby, I want that individual and his family held fully accountable. This is unacceptable behavior. My daughter did not.
Nancy Grace
Ms. Garb, I just wanted to tell you that in the last days, his lawyer has demanded that he have a laptop behind bars. He can kiss my rear end if he's going to get a private laptop behind bars. Ms. Scarborough, I'm seeing you and you have definitely. You're wasting away. You just. I can look at you, and you have lost so much weight. You're wasting away. How are you managing to go forward?
Sheena Scarborough
I can't sleep, Nancy. I can't eat. I'm doing ongoing, you know, therapy along with my youngest daughter. I have symptoms, physical symptoms. I don't mean to get in depth, but I don't share this a lot. But since this has happened, I'm very empathic and I've always been like this. I can literally feel the symptoms of what this person did to my daughter. I literally don't move the same way physically. It's a lot of different layers of things going on with my physical health. I can't describe it, but I don't know, Nancy. It's very challenging.
Nancy Grace
We are still on the search for parts of Sade's body, but we are learning in the last days that police are focusing now on various dating apps as to how this teen girl met up with a much, much older man. I don't know what he said to her on this dating app to make her think that it was okay to go with him, but we're not only learning about a date potential dating app connection, but we're also learning about an alleged CI, a confidential informant that claims this guy, Maxwell Anderson, told him the CI, that he was going to lure Sade, take her to the basement, shoot her, and dismember her. Now, who the hey knows something like that and does nothing? But regarding these newly released warrants. Listen.
Unidentified Narrator
Eight unsealed warrants are giving new insights into the investigation of Sade Robinson's murder. Newly released surveillance images show Sade meeting Anderson at the Twisted Fisherman for their date. The warrants also reveal police are reviewing employment records and surveillance from Victor's nightclub. Anderson reportedly worked at Victors, a club that one of Sade's co workers says they frequented. Investigators are trying to determine how Sade met Anderson.
Nancy Grace
With me is Sade's mother, Sheena Scarborough. I don't know if you have seen the footage of that basement. It's filthy, it's dug up, it's covered in debris. And this defendant picked Sade out of all the women in the area to lure her down to that filthy basement basement to murder her. I just don't understand why her. Have you seen that basement?
Sheena Scarborough
It disgusts me, Nancy.
My daughter did not deserve this. This is un. Surreal.
This is freaking unsurrel.
Like, I don't know how we were placed in this nightmare by this demon. Why would you harm my baby?
She hurt nobody. She was angelic she put out good energy. She helped others. She was there for the community. She was there for my, the elders, the young people, her peers. She was constantly giving back. There is something deeper into this, but the truth is going to be told.
Nancy Grace
Ms. Scarborough, before we sign off, I just want you to know how much we are praying for you and thinking about you and your whole family. And we will not rest until her killer gets the maximum sentence in that jurisdiction, which is life without parole.
Sheena Scarborough
Nancy. Thank you God.
Nancy Grace
Please be with Sade's family. Mr. Shanday.
Sheena Scarborough
These are her earrings that came in the mail yesterday. Nancy, I don't know if you can see them. I had to go to my baby place for the first time and these came for her. These are her earrings. And I have her earrings on. These are my baby's earrings. This is so.
Nancy Grace
You know what's so funny? Look what I've got. My dad's shirt. My dad that passed away. I don't know why. I just feel better having it with me. Like your earrings. Guys, let's just stop for one moment and remember an American hero Police officer Michael Jensen. Just 29 years old. Jensen shot in the line of duty, Syracuse, N.Y. leaving behind his loving parents and sweet sister. American hero Police officer Michael Jensen. Nancy Grace signing off. Goodbye friend.
