Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:06):
Welcome to Unspeakable, a true crime podcast where I tell
stories of real crimes with real victims, whose cases are
so shocking that many are left wondering how is this
even real? I use my experiences in law enforcement corrections,
and combined with my years as a criminal justice educator,

(00:28):
dig deep into complex cases of evil acts, some so
evil many feel they are unspeakable. Warning Unspeakable as intended

(00:52):
for mature audiences. If you are easily offended, then I'm
not your girl. Listening discretion is advised. Hey, y'all, it's
kJ back for another is that of Unspeakable, and I
have got a good one for you today. I think
I always have good ones, but this one I really
dove into this one. It caught my attention from the jump,
and it's one that I think that you will maybe
have heard about but maybe don't have all the details

(01:14):
because you know, Mama watched the trial and so I'm
gonna I'm gonna play it all out for you. But
before I do that, I've got some shout outs that
I need to give and you need to give me
some credit here, girl, Kelly, are you listening, because this
is this is Kelly talking to Kelly right now, I
looked up how to say your last name because I
didn't want to jack it up, and the Internet has
put me in a tizzy here. So I'm gonna say

(01:35):
in Canton, Michigan that I think Kelly Klein Sorge is
now a new family member of my crime family. But
if it's Klein Sorg, you can let me know. But
I hope I got that right either way, Kelly, I'm
so thankful for you, and I hope that you're having
a great week. Thank you for supporting my dream because
you people are the ones that are making this get
bigger and bigger and better and better. I've also got

(01:57):
Gene right outside the gates, right here of where I
I'm at in Albany, Louisiana. Now, Jane, you had a
different last name when I taught you. I looked, I
know this is you, but it's now I think Cancienne,
Cancien Jeane? What the hell is your new last name?
You need to message me on Facebook and let me know.
But I'm saying hey to you, girl, and I appreciate
you so much. And then in Brunswick, Georgia, Amy Hoague,

(02:19):
what's up, girl? How are you over there in Georgia,
I'm waving to you on the camera. If I said
that one wrong too, you got to let me know

And then in Collins, Mississippi, what is up, Melvin Smith?
How are you doing? What is up? Melvin? I'm waving

Tell all your friends that I gave you the shout
out and I'm thankful for you. And then last but

(02:41):
surely not least in Heinsteon, Louisiana, which, by the way,
I have a guest watching me podcast today, mister Michael
Cash from the Livingston pary Sheriff's Office. He's watching and
him and Jimmithy are doing some stuff behind the scenes.
But I did not know where Heinstein was and he
looked it up and said that it's close to Alexandria.
So shout out to Mike all for getting me in
the know because I didn't know where it was. But

(03:03):
out there in Hinstein is Miss Crystal Wriggleman. And Crystal,
thank you so very much from the bottom of my heart.
Please tell everybody that I'm saying hello and that I'm
so thankful to have y'all all part of my Patreon.
If you want to join, you're welcome to. You can
go patreon dot com and look up the show and
there's a free level, and then there's other levels you
can pick and choose whatever you want. But I'm gonna

(03:23):
be doing a lot more interacting on there. I found
the chat app, which is really exciting, and so I'm
gonna start putting some more threads in there because I
need some feedback from y'all. I got some questions, all right. Also,
quarterly gifts just went out. You should have received those.
If you haven't, let me know. I had a couple
of them. I think three of them will returned to
me because it said the addresses the person no longer
lived at that address. So if you didn't receive yours,

(03:44):
please let me know. I've got it on my desk,
and I would love for you to update your address
on Patreon. Don't forget to do that. Now. What I
want you to do is come with me to Milwaukee.
In April of twenty twenty four, so just a little
while back is when this took place, it had been
a couple of rainy and dreary days in Milwaukee, Milwaukee County,
and this was a really popular area where I'm talking

(04:05):
about for folks. They would gather, they like to enjoy
the shoreline right there on Lake Michigan. But April second
wasn't going to be one of those days because this Saturday,
there wasn't a lot of movement there on the lakeside,
nor at Warnabut Park because the weather was just disgusting.
It was just a dreary, nasty day at the park.

(04:26):
And this area where the park is located is really
in a populated area because during the week if you
look at the layout, imagine just a strip of road.
There is a high school right there, the local high school,
and then the police department is not just a little
ways down the road. There's a big golf course that's
located in the corner area of the county. And so

(04:48):
it's not like this was a sparse area. It just
was a nasty day, and so there wasn't a lot
of movement out and about. But the weekend, combined with
this terrible weather, made it just a ghost town. Nobody
was in school and it was just miserably miserable, windy
and wet. The water too was super super choppy, was
crashing along the rocks water side, which made it just

(05:10):
not an ideal place for anyone to be relaxing or
hanging out, unless really you were maybe bored and young
and looking for an adventure of some sort. And that
was exactly the case for two young men. Their names
were Osiris and Evan, So Osyrus and Evan. They looked
to be kind of tween aged guys with this sort

(05:31):
of maybe skater dude vibe if you're checking them out.
But they were out at that Warnamupe Park that day
in an area that was not well populated in this
park where people did go. It was kind of off
the beaten path, and they were exploring. They were in
this usually very undisturbed area of where the park edge
meets the water of Lake Michigan. Now, the area that

(05:54):
they were in was very hard to reach traditionally. It
wasn't like there were steps or pathway or anything like
that for them to follow. It was really kind of
untouched in that area. There was lots of rain that day,
like I told you, and so where they were there
was also a lot of clay that was kind of
falling from this cliff side of the area where they

(06:17):
were exploring. So a little bit about Warnamup Park real quick.
It's very, very large. It's about two hundred and forty acres.
They have this eighteen hole golf course. Off on the
side of it, there's a dog park and it extends
along the coast of Lake Michigan, and they do have
trails there that people like to walk or I guess
you could say hike and hang out. But this was
not that place where these where these kids were. So

(06:39):
they climbed over things like fallen logs, and they went
through some dense brush along this slippery and super steep
edge that lined the waterway. And they probably weren't supposed
to be there per se, but they weren't up to
no good. They were just doing what young guys do.
They were just going to check some shit out. So
they made their way down the steam deep edge and

(07:00):
they were walking along the shore and they were commenting
to each other about how crazy the waves were. I mean,
they were extreme on this day, crashing with huge wooshes
up against that that shoreline. Well as they're walking through
that blowing mist and they're scouring the ground looking for
cool artifacts. One of them happened to just glance up

(07:22):
on the ledge, and there they saw part of a mannequin.
Now that's creepy as hell. Let's stop real quick. That
is creepy as hell. Imagine if that would have been real,
if you looked up and you saw something that was real.
But this was just part of a mannequin on the side.
So they walked up closer to it to check it out,
and that's when they received the shock of a lifetime

(07:43):
because y'all, it was not a mannequin. It was real
and it was a human leg. So the boys obviously
were stunned. They're looking at a whole human leg laying
there up on the side of this cliff, and so
they became panicked and they were in shock. They scrambled
back up the hill the way that they came, got
to their phones and they called nine to one one.

(08:06):
So that's when Officer Zachary dis Met was dispatched to
warn them up park in the afternoon for the call
of finding a human leg. So, you know, sometimes people
call in things that are just kind of ridiculous. I
remember one time we were working one night and people
called in that there was human remains on the side
of a road near if you're from where I'm at,

(08:27):
it was near seventh Ward Elementary, And so we go
driving up and we get out and it was a
sheet like it was just a sheet. It was a
sheet on the side of the road. There was nothing there,
So you never know if what you're being called to
is actually going to be anything at all. So when
he pulled up, he parked near this area where the
water pump station was located, and it was at the

(08:48):
end of a service road that led close, very close
to the water's edge, and was obviously a better route
for an adult to go to this call than the
way that the boys had gotten where they were. There
was room for a vehicle to drive because the pump
house for the city was down there as well, and
it's not a public accessed area. Only employees of the

(09:08):
water department, the fire department, and the police department should
have been able to access that drive because they would
have had keys to this gate. So once the officer parked,
that's where he found the two males standing in a
field and they were waving him down, and it was
Osiris and Evan. So the boys were frantic, as you
can imagine, and when he arrived, he was really kind

(09:29):
of unsure of what was going on. So the officer
didn't know these guys very well, and again, really bad weather.
So he decided that he was going to place Osiris
in the back of his police unit for the time being,
and Evan was going to lead him to the area
where this leg was found. The reason he chose for
Evan to lead him down there was because he actually

(09:51):
knew Evan from some minor interactions with police in the past.
And I want to tell you that it was really
neat to watch this interaction one body cam, because when
I say he knew Evan, I don't mean that they
hung out or went to church together, their families knew
each other. No, he knew him from the street, okay,
But Evan wasn't some some little thug lit running the roads.
Evan just was a young guy and had some minor

(10:14):
bumps with police, nothing that turned out to be of
any major consequence. But because he knew him, he said,
all right, bruh, you follow me down there, and I'll
and I must see where this leads. So Evan pointed
and brought him, well, brought him down there, and then
he pointed in the direction of where the leg would be.
Once the terrain got super slippery and steep, so Officer

(10:37):
dis met left Evan there and he made his way
carefully down the embankment, which took some time. There was
lots of debris and driftwood in that area, so he
really couldn't see the leg initially, even though Evan was pointing,
he couldn't see it because of all the stuff that
was also up there on this bank. So I have
a photo of this, by the way, from the body

(10:58):
cam that'll show you exactly what I'm trying to explain
to you when you go on Patreon and you check
that out. So the officer went down there alone, like
I said, and left Evan up before it got slippery.
But because those waves were crashing so terribly, he now
could not hear Evan. Evan was yelling to him, but
it was just too loud, so he had no choice
but to have Evan now come down that steep terrain

(11:21):
and meet up with him and walk with him. Now,
the thing that became an issue here is that if
this was a leg like this boy was saying, he
did not want any evidence to possibly be destroyed or
part of a crime scene to be trampled, and that's
why he didn't bring him all the way initially, but
now though, to preserve the scene, what he did was

(11:42):
he had the boy lead him there, but he held
him by the back of his jacket so that he
could really direct him if he saw something that he
did not want the boy to disturb. In any way,
it definitely was not a walkable area, and with the
poor weather, it was slippery, so I thought that was
a pretty pretty smart move on that officer part. So
they walked for a bit and then Evan pointed straight

(12:04):
up to tell you how shocking it was this site.
It's one thing for me to just tell you what happened,
but to be there to tell you how shocking it
really was. Evan got startled again when he saw it,
and it's Evan's reaction was so startling that it actually
startled the officer. And sure enough it was a human

(12:24):
leg on the side of the cliff up from the
waterline roughly ten to fifteen feet. So the officer radio
to dispatch, confirming, Yep, this is indeed a real leg
and we need to secure the area as well as
he wanted to kind of update them on how terrible
the conditions were that they would be facing. As the
team arrived to start doing an investigation. Now getting closer

(12:45):
and taking a good look, he could tell immediately that
the leg was from a black female. She was short
and she had pink toenail polish on the foot. So
looking at how this leg had been removed from the body,
it was from the hip joint, and it was cut
clean through. It was not jagged like if this would

(13:07):
have been some type of horrible incident that happened at
sea or something. It seemed that this was a very
fresh leg, which is just disgusting for me to describe
it that way, But it was very fresh, It was
not decomposing, and there was not a lot of blood
at all. Really, there was no blood on the leg.
So the waves continued to crash, and because they were crashing,

(13:29):
the leg was starting to be compromised by the waves,
and so the officer had to move the leg so
that the waves wouldn't take it. So what he did
was he grabbed on the ankle and then he kind
of supported it under the thigh and he gently kind
of moved it so that he wouldn't lose it To
the ocean. Now, I gotta stop right here and tell

(13:51):
you this. I don't know if you know how heavy
a human leg is, but I learned this whenever I
was giving birth because I don't know if you know this,
but husbands tend to hold legs while babies are being born,
and my husband was not prepared for how heavy a
leg would be and go lift somebody's leg up like

(14:11):
that is a heavy thing to lift up dead weight.
So assessing the leg as he was having to lift
it and move it, he believed in that moment that
this was either a young girl, possibly a teenager, and
taking in everything that he had seen and he was
looking around. He also saw a brawl and a T

(14:32):
shirt nearby in the area, but he wasn't sure if
that was related or not to the scene. So the
medical examiner was notified they needed to come. They took
custody of the leg as well as they took DNA
samples from this leg, and they sent it off to
the crime lab for testing. Now, Detective Joe Anne Donner,
who was with the Milwaukee Sheriff's Office, was brought in

(14:53):
to investigate this, and upon arrival, she really took in
the scene as she approached the leg on the cliff.
And I say this so easily, as if it's just
commonplace that a person's leg is just there with no
body attached to it. But that's really just the job
is to look and say, my god, how did a
leg get here? So Detective Donner noted that the leg

(15:16):
was a right leg, and there were no tattoos, the
leg was smooth, There was no injury, no obvious injury
where maybe the leg was removed in a boating accident
or something like that. Now, the detective herself was tiny,
She stood about five foot three, so she knew that
the person whose leg this had to be must have

(15:39):
been shorter than she was, because she compared her own
leg to the dismembered leg that was there, and so
she stood five foot three. This leg was shorter than hers.
So the severed location wasn't through the thigh. Though, if
as people may think I'm saying when I say it
was a clean cut, it was actually below the top

(16:00):
ball of the hip. So, like I said, a motor
blade hadn't just cut it off. No scavenging animals had
removed it from a dead body that was laying elsewhere.
This was very well described, I felt by the detective.
She said it perfectly. She said, the bone looked like
if you were sawing through a tree branch, and then
when you got to the very end where it was

(16:21):
just you know, it got more brittle and you just
snapped it. It was clean straight through, but there was
a tiny jagged piece sticking off of the bone where
it had I guess snapped off. She also went and
looked at the braw and the T shirt that was
found by that initial officer, but she determined that that
had to have been there much longer than this leg,

(16:43):
and so she determined that it just it probably was
not part of the scene. It was under some driftwood.
It was covered with sand and so weathered that she
ruled it out as related to that freshly deposited leg. So,
as you would expect, the detective organized a large search
to see if the person whom the leg was removed
from could be found in the nearby area because she

(17:03):
didn't get far with her leg cut off, so multiple
K nine searches were done. These cadaver dogs came in.
Ground penetrating sonar was used to search the area, but
they found nothing. After this very extensive search. Drones were
used up in the air searching found nothing. Dive teams
were brought in on multiple occasions, they found nothing. So

(17:27):
in the many, many times that the detective had been
out to that area, she started thinking about what would
have gone on there, that this leg could have ended
up there. And she noted, I mean I've been here
a lot. I've never seen anyone down in that area walking.
It's not a walkable, easily got, you know, area to
get to. It's just not a very popular area to

(17:50):
enjoy the water. And that said, the detective said, well,
it is a place though, where teenagers like to hide
out because it's not so populated. They have fires there
from time to time, maybe sneaking a beer to that
type of place. So this meant to her that the
leg was likely to have been hidden there because it

(18:10):
certainly had not washed ashore, and someone had to have
brought a dismembered leg with them and deposited it there.
There had been plenty of criminal activity the night before,
so police had their hands full that day following up
from the previous night, everything from a suspicious car fire
to missing persons reports to other more minor crimes, but

(18:33):
their hands were full. So in town Christine Shuda she
was working as a leasing agent at an apartment complex
in the nearby area, and upon arrival to work, she
was met by a coworker of one of her current tenants.
This tenant was not a troublesome one, so for someone
from her work to come and ask if she would

(18:56):
possibly use her master key to open up the apartment
was a huge red flag. This wasn't someone that was
normally a problem at all at this apartment complex. She
told this person that came to check on one of
her tenants, AB's a fricolutely not I'm not gonna take
my master key and just go walk in an apartment.
That's not how this works. And from her point of view,

(19:18):
she's like, I'm not about to get in the middle
of some squabble between adults and start opening doors willy
nilly like that. Ain't that ain't gonna what's gonna happen here?
But she asked a little bit more, had a few
more questions, and Christine was told that her tenant, whose
name was Shade Robinson, hadn't shown for work and they
were very worried about her. So much so that's why
they wanted to get into the apartment. Shade didn't no call,

(19:40):
no show. That just was not who she was. She
had never been that way, and so it just really
had them alarmed for what was going on with her.
So understanding now what the whole situation was, together, Christine
and the coworker went to Shade's apartment and they knocked
and knocked and knocked, but there was no answer. So
that po leasing manager Christine suggested, maybe you should try

(20:02):
to call her mom or a parent, but the co
worker didn't want to do that. Now, I'm not going
to call her mom. I don't want to get up
in the middle of all that. So Christine then suggested, well,
maybe we should call the police. Maybe the police could
do a welfare check on her. So that turned into nothing,
and the coworker ended up leaving and returning to the
place of work, which was called the pizza Shuttle. And

(20:24):
when that coworker went back to the pizza shuttle and
spoke to the manager, they decided at that point, you
know what, maybe we really should call nine one one
for the welfare check, and so they did, and so
the police would start looking into her whereabouts for now
though they were having to deal with something else. They
had this suspicious car fire that had happened overnight and
another part of town as well as now a city

(20:44):
worker was calling in to make a police report about
a smashed fence at the Dawn water pump station. Like
total vandalism and ridiculousness was going on in town. So
this guy's name was Francis Miller. He was the Department
of Public Work supervisor and he was notified on April
second that the gate that closes off the service road
to that water pump area looked like it had been

(21:06):
rammed by a vehicle. So he called the police really
for insurance purposes, because if he didn't have a report,
he couldn't make the claim to have it repaired. And
so the police said, sure, we'll be out there shortly.
We'll take our pictures, we'll ride our report. Now this gate,
I want to tell you a little bit about it.
It was a large industrial gate and it was in
proper working order the night before because work crews were

(21:27):
there and they had left around four pm. So this
had to have happened overnight. It wasn't like it had
been that way for days. So usually the gate was
closed and then it was chained shut, and it has
these poles that are mounted in the ground as you'd
expect on either side of the of the drive. Well,
a car had clearly blown through that gate and even

(21:48):
up ended the poles that were in the ground. So
while mister Miller was awaiting the police arrival for the report,
he found some car parts that were near the gate,
and it seemed pretty that these were from the car
that must have rammed the gate. So he decided and
this tickled me because I don't know that I would
have thought to do this necessarily. I would have just

(22:09):
been pissed off my gate was broken. But he decided
to go through these pieces he found, and he looked
and was able to locate a stamped bit of information
into the plastic in the pieces. And so, just out
of curiosity and I guess boredom waiting on the cop
he decided to google it and show enough. If that
did not come back to a Honda Civic, so he

(22:31):
figured that must be the car that rammed the gate.
And this wasn't an accident either. I want to be
clear about that this road was off the beaten path,
clearly marked with multiple signs. There was a do not enter,
do not park, all these signs in big bold signage
and lettering, so this was absolutely on purpose. So police

(22:52):
arrived and they took the pictures, wrote the report and
gave it to him so he could make that insurance claim.
This type of shit is so aggravated at minimum because
it wastes resources of officers and time, and it costs
taxpayers money. But it has to be dealt with. Now.
While that was wrapping up, I want to go back
now to that missing person's report for Shade Robinson. Who

(23:14):
was she and what was she like? This is something
that we all want to know. If someone is not
answering their phones, is this normal? Look, we all have
somebody we know is going to be an hour late
to a party. We all know them right now in
your head, you're laughing, you know, Yep, that's who it is.
We all know the person who's not going to answer
the damn phone. We also know the person that will
always answer the phone. Those are things that police officers

(23:36):
want to know because that's characteristics that can give us
an idea of whether there's trouble or not.

Speaker 2 (23:41):
Well.

Speaker 1 (23:42):
Shade was nineteen years old and she had moved with
her family to Milwaukee at the age of two, so
I mean she had been there a long time. And
she was described when she was younger a very curious child.
She loved to explore. She had joined the Girl Scouts,
which was so exciting for her. And as she got older,
she grew to be someone who loved the arts. She

(24:03):
loved the beauty of dance. But she also and I
love this, appreciated the toughness of the military. She thought
that was cool. She loved because she was young at
this time, the ROTC program, which she joined in school
with dreams of eventually hopefully being able to join the
US Air Force. This girl was a dedicated student, a

(24:26):
teacher's dream. She even graduated a semester early from Riverside
High School in twenty twenty two. So this girl was
a winner, to say the least. So she had enrolled
in college and she was pursuing a degree Dunda dun
in criminal justice. So this is a girl after my
own heart. Totally lover already, Okay, And the fact that

(24:48):
she was missing though, was really strange too, because the
area where she lived was not one that police frequented.
We all know the areas where the police are gonna
have to be making arrests at night. Wherever you live,
you know where you're supposed to be, and you know
where you shouldn't be. This was a good place where
she was. So Shade held two jobs, okay, one at

(25:11):
that pizza shuttle that I mentioned to you, and another
at the local Wisconsin country club where she worked, but
also her sister worked there as well. They were servers,
and she was a well loved coworker. Her fellow coworkers
really thought that she was everything that a coworker should be,
and this included a man named Quincy who suffered from

(25:34):
some pretty terrible walking disabilities. Shaw Day would always greet
him with a smile and go out of her way
to help Quincy up the stairs when he would get
to work. She was just a kind hearted girl like that.
And not only was she helpful and kind, but she
was a social butterfly. She was a magnetic personality. And

(25:57):
I don't want to say she lit up a room
because it's so damn cliche, but when I heard social butterfly,
you know exactly who this girl was. You know that
she had that smile, she had that laugh that people
noticed because she was vibrant, and she radiated joy and confidence.
Does that sound like a girl who's gonna just stop

(26:18):
answering her phone, because it doesn't. I know that, and
you know that. So some of her friends kind of
took note of this because one of her friends named Elena.
They had just been discussing how exciting it was that
Nicki Minaj was going to be having a concert in
two weeks, and Shade was so excited. She wanted to

(26:38):
go so bad to this Nicki Minaj concert. It was
almost Shade's birthday, right, so she wanted to plan something awesome.
Young people, you know, they always want to have their
birthday week and all of that. So Shada was over
the moon about all the excitement and things that were
to come. Clearly very driven and motivated young lady. She
earned everything that she had too. She was very independent.

(27:02):
She was blazing a path for herself with plans for
the future. But now poof, she was just gone with
absolutely no sign of where she would be. So where
do we even start. Well, the welfare check was done
as promised by police. They arrived at the apartment and
they were let in by the maintenance man. His name
was Eddie and Eddie, the maintenance man, opened up that

(27:24):
apartment for them so they could conduct their search. So
while they were opening the door, though, Eddie kind of
glanced over his shoulder and mentioned that Shade had waved
by to him just the night prior when she left
the apartment complex, like he saw her because she said
by Eddie, and she even did a little small talk
while she was leaving and told Eddie that she was
going on a date and she was super excited for

(27:46):
this date. She was just a friendly girl, and he
really was worried and hoped that she was okay. And
he never saw her after that. So the detective that
was on that scene, her name was Nora Burlow. She
entered Chade's apartment, which was in unit three oh nine,
and she immediately observed that this was a studio apartment,
very small, very small, but it had a kitchenette, it

(28:10):
had a large closet and a bathroom, and then the
rest of this apartment was just kind of open. It was,
you know, it kind of reminded her of a college
student's dorm room. Messy of course, but typical for someone
that was her age. Lots of purses and clothes everywhere,
she had a trundle bed, but the bottom wasn't pulled

(28:30):
out or anything. And there was also a safe in
her apartment. Now, they were able to get into that
safe and a few things caught their attention. One of
them was there was THHC in there, and there was
also a small amount of meth and they said that
this was in pill form. So while this girl's missing

(28:52):
and I don't necessarily like to bring to light any
negative things, it's the truth and that's what they found.
So this kind of made the police wonder, is it
possible that she could have come in contact with a
less than desirable person, maybe in conjunction with this aspect
of her life, and maybe met some sort of problem,
and that's why she's not answering the phone. Now, this

(29:13):
was certainly an unknown but it was taken into account
as a possibility that they may need to look into.
So they started looking through these purses that were also
strown about in this apartment, and Detective Burlow found an
ID in one of them, and comparing that photo on
the ID to the demographics that she pulled from the
Department of Transportation database, the detective was able to pull

(29:35):
together a basic physical profile of Shade, a short black female.
So why is this important? Well, this peaked that detective's
interest in that she had already been briefed that morning
on the leg that was found at Warnamonte Park. The
leg that was found was of a short, black, presumed

(29:56):
female based on the pink toenail polish that were on
the toes. So was it possible that that leg belonged
to Shade? That really became the thought on the forefront
of this detective's mind. So she would need to retrace
Shade's last known whereabouts though, to see if this was
even a possibility in a timeline that she would have
to create. So the detective was able to confirm Shada

(30:18):
had gone to work at Pizza Shuttle on April first,
and she did work her shift. And Shade had lots
of friends, but specifically she had one friend that she
worked with at the country club that would call police
whenever she got word that Shade was missing. They were
very close, specifically for the past year. They did homework together,

(30:41):
they hung out, They even had created dating profiles together online,
things like tender and hinge and all that kind of stuff.
And when that friend was told that Shade was missing. She,
as you can imagine, became immediately alarmed by this and
doing what young people do. She pumped on Life three sixty. Now,

(31:02):
I gotta tell you this. I find it so weird,
so weird how teenagers are today that they share their
location with everybody, with everybody. It is the weirdest damn
thing to me. But they do. I have teenage, a
teenage child of my own, and I'm like, why, She'll
She'll look down at her phone. We'll be driving. She
looked down, She'd be like, oh, so and so's at

(31:24):
the water park. I'm like, how do you know that? Oh,
I'm looking at Life three sixty. You had damn stalker.
Why are y'all doing this? But when she looked and
I'm not, Yeah, I'm not being mean to teenagers, okay,
but it is weird. It's different from the time I
grew up. But when she looked at Life three sixty
to see where Shade was, or at least where her
phone was, she was really confused because Shade's phone was

(31:44):
showing at Warnemont Park. But because of the day and
the time of day that it was, she realized, Okay, well,
Shade is missing. So this can't possibly be true because
Shade's phone was showing that it was for a LM
in the park. Well, that can't be because it's not
four am. So she figured, Okay, I guess her phone

(32:06):
must have died when she was at that location last
and she never reconnected to update her current location. So
this friend, her name is Elena Fisher, contacted police. Now,
this had been her best friend since fourth grade, really
a good friend since fourth grade, and she had just
spoken to Shade about a Jamaica trip that she went
on and they had talked about life in general. So

(32:27):
when she found out Shade was missing from her cousin,
she panicked, so she called police to give them the
last known location of what Shade's phone was showing, and
this included a drive that she took to a restaurant
and then to another one at about nine twenty six

(32:48):
on the Freeway which took her to Gordon Street and
then to a share it in drive. Now, kudo's to
this friend, because this friend wasn't playing. This friend mapped
it out and it was literally a map of everything
Shade had done prior to her disappearance and prior to
the phone not connecting and giving an update on her location.

(33:09):
So putting the two friends' location information together, a pretty
clear picture was being painted. Shade had gone to a
few locations and ended up last known at the same
park where that leg was found, and it was a
black woman's leg. So, as you can tell, this is
not looking good in terms of finding Shade alive at
the moment. Well, the car fire from that night before

(33:32):
Shade was reported missing also came into play at this point.
So the fire department got a call for a vehicle
fire in the wee early morning hours of April second,
which was only two blocks from where the fire department was.
So the fire was mainly in the passenger side and
the trunk area of a small sedan. Now, no people

(33:53):
were around the actual car because the car was next
to a vacant building, and the fire department knew it
was a vacant building because they were actually using it.
They were doing trainings there, so no one should have
really been back there for any type of legitimate business,
I guess, as you could say. So they extinguished the

(34:13):
fire and then they cut into the trunk because they
wanted to make sure that no one was in it.
And when they cut it open. Luckily no one was
so because this was so suspicious, they called police. Police
arrived and they started taking photos. The officer wrote down
the plate number and the VEN number on this vehicle

(34:34):
and they ran it in the database to make sure
that the license plate and the VEN number matched and
that they could identify who owned the vehicle, and that
vehicle came back to none other than shot A. Robinson. Now,
the front of the vehicle was damaged, and not just
from the fire. It looked like this car had run

(34:55):
into something. In the passenger side they found shot A's purse,
and in the trunk the police uncovered multiple items. They
found some ripped, whitewashed jeans and a puffy black jacket,
as well as some they looked to be like tannish
yellowish underwear. Now, there was something about the location of

(35:19):
that underwear that is a little bit if you're a woman,
it's kind of spine tingling, because the underwear was still
around the legs of the jeans. The jeans were inside out,
and it was like the jeans had been peeled off
of someone and not removed one leg at a time.

(35:39):
It's like the underwear and the jeans were grabbed at
the waist and then peeled back off of someone because
they were in reverse, but they were still around the
legs of the jeans. There was also a work apron
that was in the trunk, and police could smell gasoline.
There was obviously some type of accelerant here, and they
found that it was really on this stuffed animal that

(36:01):
was in the vehicle. And something that they noted also
was the driver's side seat position. It was very very
far back. Well. Shade Robinson, based on their demographics, was
very tiny. So what they did was they took the
seats and they got a same model vehicle as the

(36:21):
one that was burned, and they got two officers at
the department to come and sit in the vehicle. One
of them was a really tall officer, one of them
was a really short officer. And the tall person fit
comfortably the feet touched the pedals. There was plenty of
headroom and all of that, but the little shot, a short,

(36:42):
little self, would not have been able to reach the
pedals comfortably. So the in and of itself, that was
a clue. Police did not believe that Shade Robinson was
the last one who drove her car to where it
was finally left and set on fire. So a detective
went to the Shuttle Pizza which was to Shade's apartment
and was able to get video of Shade's last shift

(37:05):
from the manager. And that last shift would have been
on April first. Remember leg is found on April second.
Carfire is on April second. Shad Ay worked on April first.
So the video showed her arrive and I watched all
of this video, so it shows her arrive. She parks
in this parking garage, and her vehicle is noted as
a Honda Civic in the video and matched the burned

(37:28):
vehicle obviously, but one difference was that the front end
of the vehicle did not have any damage to it.
It was in perfect condition. So she got to work
around nine am. She left around five pm, and as
she backs out and drives off, you can see the
vehicle was in great condition. There was just one gut
wrenching thing about that video though, and it's that you

(37:51):
can can't help but notice what Shade is wearing. She
was wearing ripped, whitewashed jeans and a puffy black jacket,
the exact same clothing that was now found in the trunk.
Of her burned car. So what the hell happened to
Shade after five pm? So five pm would now become
the new timestamp of her last known whereabouts. A request

(38:14):
of Shade's phone providers had been that a request had
gone in to get her phone records, but that did
not come back in yet. I mean, this isn't the
movies where it comes back in three seconds. It takes time.
So meanwhile, police were wondering if maybe the front end
damage to Shade's vehicle was connected to the gate that
was smashed at the water pump station right near where

(38:36):
the leg had been recovered. So a detective, Nathan Spittelmeister,
went to go check this out. And remember how I
told you there was a police department located right near
the high school, which was right basically across the street
from where the water pump station would be and where
the leg was found. Jim, did you see what happened

(38:59):
in Texas today?

Speaker 2 (39:00):
Wait before you tell me that, let me tell you
what happened in New York.

Speaker 1 (39:04):
It cannot be as crazy as the case I told
you about yesterday in Louisiana.

Speaker 2 (39:07):
You know what, we should do a podcast about it.

Speaker 1 (39:10):
And with that we did. Crime War Weekly covers the
crime news headlines that have dominated the week.

Speaker 2 (39:16):
We cover trending crimes from all over the country and
even sprinkle in a few globally.

Speaker 1 (39:22):
Crime War Weekly is available now wherever you listen to
your podcasts.

Speaker 2 (39:26):

in the description of this podcast.

Speaker 1 (39:38):
So there were two cameras that really would come into play.
One faced a large open field area which was the
area of where the busted fence was. But it was very,
very grainy, very poor quality. It's like, damn, if you're
going to put cameras up and go to the trouble
of putting them up, how about we buy some good ones.
How about we do that people, because why have the

(39:59):
camera if the image looks like shit? Okay, but that's
what we have. So the other one face the parking
lot of the station. So you're looking at this very
boring video of basically a parking lot. But in the
very far right corner of the video, in the very
top far right of the video, there's a white shed

(40:20):
that can be seen in the distance, and that shed
is right where two streets intersect, So where those in
a intersect the public would have to either turn left,
or if you're come in the other direction, you would
have to turn right, because it's just like it comes
to a point where you have to turn. The other
option is that you could go straight, but that just

(40:43):
is an entrance to a golf course, so there's no
reason to go there. Like at night, you know, you
just have to turn where these roads intersect. Only the
private access to the pump station is at the end
of where the intersection is also and that gate is locked,
so that's why you have there's nowhere else to go.
So the video catches that area just barely, and it's

(41:06):
so dark. It's very dark at night, very very still,
and nothing is happening. There's no one on the roadway
except one vehicle that eventually comes into frame. There's a
flash of light which is clearly a dark vehicle traveling
because like I said, it's very poor quality, but you
can see the flash of light which you can identify

(41:27):
that it's a car traveling. And then that light just disappears.
And this was around two thirty ish am in the morning.
Then about two hours later, at four thirty am, the
car lights return from the area where they disappeared and
the car goes back in the opposite direction. So the

(41:47):
police went to the high school and got video from
where the high school was, and the video there faces
the entrance to the Mornamonte Park and that water pumps
station road, so this was the student parking lot road
basically where these cameras were. So go into the school.
The school resource officer was able to pull these videos

(42:09):
and they watched them together and sure enough they were
able to pick that same vehicle back up around that time,
and it goes when you're looking through that camera to
the pump station and there were no other vehicles that
were there in that timeframe. Then the vehicle, like I said,
left again at that exact same four thirty timestamp. It's

(42:30):
very faint, but it's easy to recognize once you realize
what you're looking at. Another view from another camera of
the front entrance of the school, you see the car
pass by as it's leaving. So the water department obviously
they should have video right well. Their camera faces the
road that also passes the gate, and they had one

(42:51):
at the end near the shoreline of Lake Michigan. And
the video from these water department cameras is chilling, and
I wish I had another word to use other than chilling,
but it's really what it is because when you're watching,
it is so dark. There's waves crashing, okay, and the

(43:13):
only light that you can get is from the moon.
It's just like where a wolf style shit going on.
It's just the moonlight. And as you're watching this complete
stillness other than the waves crashing and maybe the trees
kind of wave a little bit, all of a sudden,
you see a figure kind of walking in the darkness.

(43:34):
And when you watch it, you can tell it's somebody
walking by the cadence. It's very hard to see, but
you can tell. So you watch this person and you
see him carefully go down the bluff and then turn
and then walk off into the distance towards the area
where that leg was discovered. The next day, he stays

(43:56):
down there until about four fifteen before a sending back
up that steve that steep bluff. And I've put that
video on Patreon for you some still shots of it,
actually because I want you to see this because it
is it's bizarre. So there's one shot though, as he's
kind of climbing back up the hill that you can

(44:17):
tell either this is the fucking hunchback of Notre Dame
or he has a big backpack on. So it's dark
and it's nighttime, but you can make it out and
you realize in that moment that you are watching someone
most likely with a backpack full of body parts being
transported in the cloak of night. It's just unbelievable when

(44:40):
you really assess what you're looking at. So there's another
detective on this case, and you'll notice I'm going to
tell you a lot of detective names that a lot
of people worked on this. This guy was Matthew Vandertie.
So he did an exigency request with Verizon to get
an immediate limited record just basically to see who was

(45:01):
Shade talking to. Last exigency just means that it's of
great importance. We don't have time for a long drawn
out thing. Someone's life or maybe in danger, or something
terrible may happen, and so we need some We need
information now when we can't wait. So Detective vander Tide
did eventually get a warrant for the full records of
her phone and her locations, and who she had been

(45:22):
talking to before she went missing was obviously of paramount
importance and could possibly be cross referenced with video surveillance
if they just knew where she had been exactly. So
the report came back that Shada had been communicating with
the same phone number frequently the night before she went missing.
So going further back, though, Okay, this number and Shada

(45:45):
actually started texting at the end of March. Okay, Sha,
DA's now missing a month later in April, but it's
not actually a full month because if you look at
the dates, it's more like March thirtieth or so. So
they were obviously new friends that did not go far back,
and it looked, based on the conversation in the texting

(46:06):
that they had just met, and she said something to
the effect of, hey, love, I forgot my comb. Can
you keep it and get it back to me? So
if you're saying love to somebody, hey love, then you
know you're it's a new thing, but it's a pet
term you would say to somebody. And the person responded,
of course, no problem, and alluded to the fact that, hey,
we'll exchange the comb whenever we meet up again on Sunday.

(46:30):
So the text recovered between her and the other and
that number read exactly as follows. Sha Day said where
are we meeting? I can do five like five pm,
and that person said, hmm, downtown somewhere. Shade said okay.
Then that person said Brat House on Third, which was

(46:51):
a restaurant type situation, and Shade said perfect. Then this
person said, okay, I'm going to shower first and I
need to pick up my W two from the last
year at Twisted Fishermen. It'll be more like five point
fifteen when I get there. Are you hungry? And Shade
said okay, and yes, are we eating at the brad
House or the other place. This person then said, let's

(47:12):
seat it Twisted. I'm feeling seafood. Shade said yes, I
love seafood, and then the person said sounds good. See
you soon. That was the last text message that Shade
ever sent. Ever So, the Life three sixty data that
detectives had from the friends, as well as the records
now from a warrant that they got, showed her location specifically,

(47:36):
and she did go to the Twisted Fishermen around six thirty.
Then she went to a place called Duke's on the
Water until roughly nine pm. Then she moved to a
residential area around twelve forty five am, which would have
been April second, and then she went to the area
of downtown Milwaukee and then towards this thing called Pleasant

(47:57):
Valley or this area called Pleasant Valley Park around one
thirty am, which was near the Milwaukee River. So detectives
were able through their their searching to identify the owner
of that phone number that Shade was texting that night,
and that number came back to a thirty three year
old guy named Maxwell Anderson. Now a little bit about Maxwell.

(48:20):
He is a tall, white male. He's got broad shoulders,
a really solid stature, and as you notice, because I
said he was thirty three, he was a bit older
than the nineteen year old, but he didn't really look it.
I would have guessed by looking at him, maybe mid
to late twenties. His hair was long, just to his shoulders,

(48:43):
and it's like dirty blonde, and it definitely gives kind
of like a grunge look about him. But it was
shaved underneath up to the top of his ears, so
he would sometimes pull it up into like a man
bun situation, and when he did that, he looked like
a biker. So his image kind of changed depending on

(49:03):
how he had his hair. He had tattoos on his
chest area and up like to his collarbone area, but
either way he rocked a full beard that matched his
hair color. He had very small blue eyes and a
very thin small mouth. So that's just a little bit
about what he looked like, but a little bit more
about him. He lived in a duplex unit and he

(49:26):
rented out the lower unit of the duplex to another guy.
Looking up in the records of from the DMV, they
found that he drove a black SUV and the renter
that lived with him drove a black Honda Civic, so
they would realize that he was a dog lover. He
had two dogs of his own. He had a lab
and a pit mix and in that home he had

(49:52):
tons of tools. He would constantly be someone that was
out working on the house, but the projects never really
seemed to finish anything that he started. He kind of
seemed to not go back to it and fully complete
those projects. He was rough around the edges, but he
worked as a bartender. He also worked security at the bars,

(50:14):
and he really just his persona fit that when you're
assessing what is this guy like? And although he was rough,
his managers knew him and felt that he was a
well liked guy, a good worker, and they had no
complaints about him. Now his record showed. His criminal record
showed that his personal life also had kind of a

(50:37):
bit of a roughness to it. Also, he had a
disorderly conduct and a drunk driving type charges going on.
So hey, for some that bad boy look and image
is attractive. Okay, And hell, y'all, who am I playing with?
We all love that, girls, Ladies, you know that we
all love the bad boy image. Quit playing with yourself.
You know it. Hell, every movie, every damn movie, is

(51:01):
the emotionally damaged man that's rough around the edges that
saves the girl. Right, give me a damn break. This
dude was rough around the edges. Shada was like, hell, yeah,
that's a big boy, and she might have been attracted
to that. And I'm gonna give her that because I
get it, totally get it. Now. Those last messages that

(51:22):
were exchanged were in reference to their first date that
they had planned for the evening of April first. So,
now that sha Da was missing, this guy had some
explaining to do. Was he involved in her disappearance or
was this some really unfortunate timing for a first date. Well,
police were going to look further into this. Now they

(51:42):
found that he had attended a few different high schools,
and he also had done a brief service in the
US Navy that was from April twenty eleven until January
twenty twelve. Now, why this service ended very quickly, I
don't have the answer for that. I did look, and
it's not quite clear from what I can understand why
his service was so short. But after that he held

(52:05):
down some jobs and he worked at the Twisted Fishermen, which,
like you heard in the messages, was where he and
shot they were going to go have that first date.
Other than that, there really wasn't much to him, so
they were going to continue to investigate that. But now
the autopsy of the leg that was found was underway,

(52:26):
So April second was whenever it was a foot, the calf,
and the knee of a right leg were looked at
by the medical examiner. Now, they estimated that whoever owned
this leg was roughly five feet tall, and they also
estimated that this leg was likely cut off after death.

(52:47):
Why because remember I mentioned there was no bleeding. Well,
when your heart stops, your blood stops flowing. And this
leg wasn't all bloody like you would really expect one
to be. Now, let's talk about the leg, the femur. Okay,
it's the strongest bone in the body, and it was broken.
It was it was snapped, Okay, very very hard to do.

(53:09):
Matter of fact, the most common way that someone would
break a femur would be a car accident. Because of
the extreme amount of force required to break this bone,
nobody could, like, for instance, do this by hand. You're
not going to snap somebody's leg by hand. If this
leg belonged to shah Dah, it looked like she was
dead and her leg was cut off after she died.

(53:32):
But where was the rest of her? Why was the
leg removed? Obviously, these were the questions that were horrifying
yet imperative to find out. Well. Luckily, now that we
live in a time where people are constantly under surveillance video,
police would begin searching for a digital story to take
place from cameras in the area of the places that

(53:56):
Max and Shade were last known to be on the
last night that she was seen alive, and this would
begin at the Twisted Fishermen. Now, I want to interject
this real quick. This leg was not confirmed to be
shad as they would have to do DNA testing, So
everything I told you is all that they had at
that moment, and this would bring us to the Twisted Fishermen.

(54:17):
So this is a really really cool establishment too. I
looked it up. So the river runs right alongside the
restaurant and it's outdoor. It's like all decked. It's got
yellow picnic tables, strung lights, a really cool nighttime vibe.
I would love to go there and drink a beer,
I can tell you right now. And they also have
these really cool iglu looking I guess it's a tent,

(54:37):
but it's like an iglu looking thing that's over the
tables for a more I guess private setting if you're
on a date. But also if it was rainy, you
could still lead outdoors in these little iglooes and they're
kind of clear. I thought it was cool, really relaxing place,
So if you're in the area, I'd say go check
it out. Looks kind of neat, But speaking of going

(54:57):
in checking it out, the owner there was ready and
willing to help police with anything that they needed, and
so he turned over a surveillance video from the night
of Shade and Max's first date, which was at April first,
and you'll see on camera at five oh nine pm
Max arrives. His hair is pulled back into that man bun.
He's wearing a car heart t shirt and jeans and

(55:20):
he enters the restaurant alone. Now, inside the restaurant, it's
a kind of like a sports bar situation. There's these
big TVs. There's a big like marlin fish mounted up
on the wall. There's a bar full of all the
alcohol and all the good stuff. Well, when he walks in,
he sits down at the bar next to the bartender

(55:40):
because it was empty in there. The bartender was just
sitting on a bar stool looking at his phone. Well,
when he goes and he sits down next to him,
they exchange polite conversation, they handshake, kind of what you
would expect, and so he orders a beer, and about
twenty minutes later on camera you see shah Day walk in.
They sit down and it is super relaxed. They're looking
over the menus, they order some food and while they're eating,

(56:04):
the entire time they're talking to the bartender and they're
really the only people in the restaurant, at least the
section that you can see on camera, and at one
point all three of them took a shot together behind
the bar. So it's super casual, very normal, extremely normal.
They're chuckling, they're making eye contact with each other while

(56:24):
they're talking. Everything you would expect a first date to be.
Around six o'clock, they're done eating, and yet Max drinks
another beer, so he orders another one. He's drinking it.
They're hanging out, and that's whenever he pays the bill good.
They're on a first date. He paid for it. It's
still light outside, you can tell through the windows, and

(56:45):
they continue to talk to the bartender while they're seated there.
And it's very obvious by this point when you're watching
the video that Max knew the bartender more than just
meeting him in the moment when they sat down, because
they do a whole lot of chatting and talking, and
then they also do another shot together. Now, Shade, I
believe waved that shot off. She didn't want it, but
the bartender and Max take one. Now. Body language is

(57:09):
something that's it just matters to me. I read people
a lot through the way that they they move and
I watched Max closely in this video, and Max at
one point turns his barstool towards Shota, and he is
very much listening and pay attention to what she is saying.
He's very locked in on her while she's talking, and

(57:30):
he kind of childishly twists back and forth in the
barstool while he's while they're chatting. Then after a little while,
they put on their coats and they say they're goodbyes
to the bartender. Shote even shook his hand and said
nice to meet you. And the two left there around
six thirty pm, so following them on camera, the couple

(57:51):
then moves to a place called Duke's on the Water,
which is located in a bar district, so to speak.
They arrived together in Shade's car. She was dry, they
got out, they walk across this multiple lanes of highway
to Dukes and then they're they're seen on camera walking
down the street and again I'm watching body language. Max

(58:12):
takes his hand and he puts it down on her
lower back as they're crossing all of these roads, kind
of escorting her across these crosswalks safely. They enter the
bar and Max leads the way to the very far
end of the bar, specifically the last two chairs, and
everything again relaxed and chill, and I watched all of

(58:32):
this surveillance video, all of it. They order a drink,
and Max would drink more drinks throughout their time at
the bar, like if we were going one for one.
He's definitely out drinking her. They played a dice game
with these other patrons that were there. Shot a just
kind of watched. But at one point she gets up
and she goes to the jukebox with another female and

(58:53):
I guess they played some music, and then they played
beer pong, which really I think it was water pong,
but they're on a table against another couple. They're all
high fiving. It's literally just a cool, fun night. But
I would be hard pressed to think that Max wasn't intoxicated, okay,
just on the sole number of drinks that he drank.

(59:14):
He wasn't fall down on drunk or anything. But he's
drinking a lot okay while they're there. He even goes
out for a smoke break at one point, totally composed.
In total, the couple stayed for about two and a
half hours at that bar, so we know she's still
alive around nine pm. That's when they decided to leave.
Now it's dark outside at this point, and you watch

(59:35):
them on camera turn and go the same way they came,
walking to Shade's car. She gets in the driver's seat,
he gets in the passenger seat. They drive off, but
after that, no one knew what happened. Well, the Life
three sixty app again was going to come into play
at this point because that did show their movements where

(59:56):
cameras did not, and they ended up in an area
very close to where Maxwell Robinson was believed to live.
Now I say very close because again it's it's not
spot on, one hundred percent science, it's just giving a
general area based on towers. So based on the area
and the location and the fact that Shade still had
not been found, police were able to get a search

(01:00:18):
warrant for Max's home, and based on the violence that
was potentially affected on Shade by Max if that was
her leg, the SWAT team was used to make entry
to this home. I mean, shit, y'all, I mean a
whole leg was found. Someone cut the damn thing off,
so it would be much better safe than sorry, And
that's why I don't think it was overkilled whenever they

(01:00:39):
brought in the SWAT team. Now, unfortunately for his roommate,
this would be a bit traumatizing. It's so important that
you vet the people you know that you're gonna pay
to be a roommate with, because as the SWAT team
stormed that home, this poor guy was asleep and pulled
from his bed in nothing but his underwear at gunpoint,

(01:01:01):
handcuffed and drug out of the house, not knowing what
the fuck was going on. So at this point though,
everybody was a suspect, and this definitely included the renter
of Maxwell's lower unit. Max, though was not home, So
at this point detectives begin their investigation and they search
the home looking for anything that may point them in

(01:01:24):
the direction of Shai Dai. Now, this home was really
like three stories, even though it didn't look like it.
There was an upper, a lower, and then there was
a basement. The exterior absolutely nothing fancy. It's kind of
this blaw tan brick and there was no landscaping, no
curb appeal really, but it just kind of looked like
two single guys lived there. The upstairs area was full

(01:01:47):
of furniture. It had like this red couch an armwaffull
of liquor. The room had decorations that kind of reminded
me of someone maybe who traveled a bit. There was
like a wooden zebra head on the wall. There was
a big axe that looked like old type of weaponry.
Lots of small planted plants, knives and sheaths, but they

(01:02:13):
were kind of weird. I want to tell you about this.
The knives weren't just knives and sheaths. They had shriveled
up dead chicken heads on the end of them. And
I have pictures of them because you're going to want
to see this, go look at them on Patreon. But
it was kind of gross and creepy. And that aside,
there were that's where Max stayed, was up in that
upper part, and he had sown like his cargo pants

(01:02:36):
to his couch and used it as like a tool
holder over the arm of the couch. Lots of knife sharpeners.
They had found over fifty two knives in the kitchen,
and considering Shota's leg had been cut off, or at
least they believed it was, all of this could have
been potential evidence. The furniture was really mixmatched and there

(01:02:58):
were knives inom But just because someone likes knives, this
doesn't mean that they hurt people. And I want to
be very clear about that. Right now there's a knife
collector going, oh, don't hurt people. I got that, I
got you. I'm just telling you what was there. It does, however,
make this a CSI nightmare as far as testing all
of these knives to see if maybe they were used
in some sort of violence. Now, the basement portion of

(01:03:19):
the home was drab and exactly what you would expect
of a basement. It looked dingy and wet. It was
more of a storage area than anything. But there was
a bed in the basement. It had a makeshift room
kind of with hanging curtains, but it wasn't something that
it looked like it was someone's dwelling. It was like

(01:03:39):
just this makeshift bed behind curtains. There were washers and
dryers down there, and the roommate said that it smelled
horrible because the dogs were all kept down there and
would use the bathroom down there from time to time,
and so it just was kind of an icky, gross
place of the house. When they were searching those dryers,
they found the car heart shirt that they saw Maxwell

(01:04:03):
wearing at the Twisted Fishermen, and so they took that
to try to see if they could possibly test that
for any DNA or something. But meanwhile, Shade's mama, who
was just beside herself about her daughter being missing, got
a phone call from police saying would you come in.
We would like to get a DNA sample from you,
because CSI had taken Shade's toothbrushes and hair brushes from

(01:04:26):
her apartment when they were searching it, but her mother's
DNA would really solidify that if that leg had half
of her DNA, then this was definitely Shade's leg. So
she readily gave that sample. They did a swab in
her mouth, but she really prayed her daughter was still
intact and maybe that leg wasn't hers. All things considered,

(01:04:47):
you would really rather your daughter's still be missing than
in pieces. And that's really difficult to say, but that's
the truth. But for now, all she could do was
wait and continue to pray that Shade was just safe somewhere. Now,
cell phone records were heavily being scrutinized in comparison to
one another, meaning Max's and Shade's detectives wanted to see

(01:05:07):
were they together traveling and they would find yes, their
phones were always hitting the same towers and moving together.
They left the Twisted Fishermen together, dukes on the water together,
and then they did both show up at Max's home
area together, but that was until Shade's cell phone battery died.
At that point, the towers were no longer able to

(01:05:31):
track her whereabouts. But even then though, Max's cell phone
continued to move with Shade's vehicle based on the video
obtained in the area of where the vehicle was driving.
But you have to understand, this only meant Max's phone
was in the car. You don't know, We don't know,
police don't know. He could have forgotten his phone in
her car. She forgot her comb with him. So just

(01:05:53):
because his phone is in her car doesn't mean that
he was. So was Max actually in the car, You
couldn't tell. And the video was Shade alone in that
car and maybe got kidnapped like at a gas station
after she left his house. There was no video to
prove one way or an or another how she left
the house or what exactly what time I guess she

(01:06:15):
left the house. So based on the video to that point,
detectives said, let's go to a walk about of the
area of Maxwell's home looking for maybe some evidence, and
they even checked in the trash cans, as horrifying as
this is to see are there maybe body parts in
these trash cans. So it's at this point that I'm

(01:06:37):
going to have to leave you wondering what are they
going to find in those trash cans? And until then,
make sure you keep an eye on your trash can,
because unsecured trash the official buffet of stray animals, nosy neighbors,
and police hell bent on finding shot A. Robinson
