US Man Kills And Dismembers 19-Year-Old College Student On First Date

A 34-year-old man in the US has been found guilty of killing and dismembering the body of a 19-year-old girl on their first date after the two watched an episode of a Netflix series with an eerily similar theme. According to the New York Post, Maxwell Anderson killed Sade Carleena Robinson in April 2024 after the two met for dinner. They went to a restaurant and a bar before Anderson invited her to his home in Milwaukee. This was the last time Robinson, a criminal justice student at Milwaukee Area Technical College, was seen alive. 

The 19-year-old was reported missing the next day, when she didn't show up for her shift at a pizzeria. The police checked her home and found no trace of her. Then, on the same day, cops found her sawed-off leg on the shores of Lake Michigan, as per the outlet. They also found additional body parts, including a foot and human flesh, scattered throughout the city. 

Prosecutors showed bloodied photos from Anderson's phone to prove he was the teen's killer. One deleted picture recovered by investigators captured Anderson holding Robinson's chopped-off right breast. 

The jury was told that Anderson committed the heinous crime after he watched a Netflix animated series named 'Love, Death & Robots' with Robinson. One of the episodes in the series showed a dismembered corpse, which was discovered on the beach, similar to Robinson's body.

Cops also found a "sex dungeon" in Anderson's home after his arrest. In his basement, he had a "sex sling, restraints and handcuffs," police said. 

Other photos on Anderson's phone included pictures of the 19-year-old inside his home. The jury described the pictures as graphic and disturbing. "That was pretty damning evidence that shook everyone. I physically felt like I was gonna throw up at that point. I know a lot of people were shaking and crying," juror Melissa Blascoe said.

Anderson is believed to have planned Robinson's killing for months, creating a space covered in a plastic tarp, the Post reported. 

After committing the brutal killing, he drove Robinson's car around Milwaukee for some time before parking it in North Milwaukee and setting it on fire.

The 15-member jury took 45 minutes to reach a guilty verdict. Anderson was ultimately found guilty of first-degree intentional homicide, mutilating a corpse, hiding a corpse and arson. No motive for the killing was revealed during the trial.

The 34-year-old now faces a mandatory life sentence, but Judge Laura Crivello could sentence him to additional extended supervision.

Ex-Startup Founder Struggles To Find A Job, Says "No One Is Calling Back"

A former startup founder recently opened up on Reddit about his struggles to find a job after entrepreneurship, despite having done it all. In his post, titled 'I was a founder. Now I'm looking for a job and no one's calling back or even answering', the anonymous user revealed that he had co-founded a healthy food and beverage startup with two friends, where they managed every part of the business themselves, from marketing and customer service to finance, compliance and content. "We were bootstrapped, learned everything on the fly and kept it running as long as we could," he said.

However, his dream soon shattered as, without funding, his co-founders stepped away, and he eventually had to shut down his firm and enter the job market. "We reached a point where we had to make a decision. Either raise money we weren't ready for or accept that maybe it wasn't going to scale the way we dreamed," he said. "We couldn't put in anymore money and my partners chose to step away and i had to now look for a job and thats when I started realizing how hard that shift actually is," the user added.

The anonymous user shared that despite several interviews and positive feedback, he was told his background was "too 'founder-y' for structured roles, not domain-specific enough for niche ones." "We're not sure how to fit your background into this role. You're overqualified," he was told.

"I'm not asking for anything outrageous. Just a chance," the Redditor said, adding, "This isn't a rant or a call for pity. It's just the part no one talks about. Sometimes, the founder's story ends quietly."

The post resonated with several social media users who had walked he same path. 

"I was in the same situation a few years back after closing down/exiting my previous company. I don't know if you have any work experience apart from this or not, but I'd suggest going directly to the founders of companies that you want to work with," suggested one user.

"I shut my business and applied for jobs at the same time. Nothing clicked. It's hard to convince people you can be part of a team again," shared another. 

"Exactly the same situation as you. Had to shut down the business as I pretty much exhausted all my personal funds. Have been trying to raise funds for my next venture and also applying for jobs at the same time. Nothing seems to be working out at the moment. Keeping my fingers crossed," commented a third user. 

"I am at where you're at right now. It's been 2 years no success. Surviving on some freelance work from past network. We were building in fintech. Thinking of starting up again but more meticulously the before," said another.

Trump-Musk Feud: Tesla Now Worst-Performing Stock, Loses $380 Billion In 2025

Elon Musk's political adventure has been nothing short of a roller-coaster ride - Oval Office access and conference calls with world leaders at the President's golf resort at its peak and being threatened about his government contracts being scrapped and tax benefits being revoked at its worst.

But it is Musk's businesses that have borne the brunt of his political escapade, especially in the last 24 hours, after his public fallout with former friend and boss Donald Trump. Tesla has become the worst-performing large-cap stock this year. Its valuation was on a steady decline ever since Musk made his political ambitions public. 

THE DECLINE

Its decline picked pace amid Trump's rhetoric about "beautiful" oil and his executive order on Day 1 of his second term ordering to "drill baby, drill" to "Make America Great Again". As Trump kept hard-selling vehicles that run on petroleum, the demand for Electric Vehicles or EVs fell sharply.

Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk's political controversies over his ties to far-right groups resulted in Tesla stock losing even more value after Trump took office in January. But the most devastating blow to the Tesla stock came after Thursday's explosive fallout when the two brash billionaires indulged in a no-holds-barred verbal duel resulting in an end to their partnership.

FREE FALL

Stock valuation went into free fall as markets opened after Trump's 'One Big Beautiful Bill' was passed by House Republicans leading to Musk and Trump trading threats and insults. Tesla stock plunged more than 14 per cent, resulting in a wipeout of roughly $152 billion in a matter of hours.

With this, Tesla has lost more than $380 billion in valuation since the beginning of 2025 - making it the biggest loser among large-cap stocks. Tesla's market capitalization has fallen 29.3 per cent to $917 billion so far this year. 

The firm, which ranked eighth globally in terms of market cap at the start of the year, is now on the verge of dropping out of the top 10 big companies globally.

THE EV-KILLER BILL

Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill' is seen by Elon Musk as an EV-killer since the bill removes tax cuts or tax benefits given to electric vehicle manufacturers. For a firm like Tesla, this means tens of billions of dollars annually.

Donald Trump has now also threatened to cut Elon Musk's government subsidies and contracts, which give both Tesla and SpaceX "billions and billions of dollars" of benefits. Elon Musk's personal wealth has also taken a beating since the public feud, dropping by nearly $9 billion, according to Bloomberg's billionaire index.

'SUCH INGRATITUDE'

During the spat, Elon Musk reminded the "ungrateful" President that the reason he can call the White House his home, was because of Musk's financial and moral support during the election campaign last year, for which he had poured in hundreds of millions of dollars.

"Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate...Such ingratitude," Musk wrote in a post on X.

Musk has now suggested that Trump "should be impeached" and JD Vance should take over, claiming that the US President figures in the Epstein files over his links to child sex abuser and trafficker Jeffery Epstein.

Family Of Indore Woman, Who Went Missing In Meghalaya, Demands CBI Probe

The family of an Indore-based woman who went missing in Meghalaya last month while honeymooning with her husband urged the Union government on Friday to hand over the case to the CBI after expressing dissatisfaction with the probe of the north eastern state's police.

Sonam Raghuvanshi (25) and her husband Raja Raghuvanshi (29) disappeared on May 23, hours after they checked out of a homestay at Nongriat village in Meghalaya's East Khasi Hills district. Raja's body was found in a deep gorge near a waterfall in Sohra area, some 20 kilometres away from the homestay, on June 2.

Meghalaya police, which registered a murder case after Raja's body was found, are yet to get clues about Sonam's whereabouts.

"My daughter has been abducted and is still in the clutches of her captors. Meghalaya police is not investigating the matter properly. They have been negligent right from the beginning. I have been seeking the deployment of the army since the day they went missing. If it was done in time, they would have been found safely," Sonam's father, Devi Singh Raghuvanshi, told PTI.

He said the Centre must hand over the case to the Central Bureau of Investigation.

With desperation setting in, Raghuvanshi said he had hung an inverted photograph of Sonam on the advice of an astrologer so that she can be found safely.

After their marriage here on May 11, the couple left for Meghalaya on May 20 for their honeymoon, family said.

The couple arrived at Mawlakhiat village on May 22 on a rented scooter. They parked their scooter and trekked 3,000 steps down the gorge to visit the famous living rootbridges at Nongriat village, where they stayed the night and left the homestay the following morning.

On May 24, their scooter was found abandoned at a cafe along the road from Shillong to Sohra.

A woman's white shirt, a strip of medicine, a part of the LCD screen of a mobile phone and a smartwatch were seized at the spot where Raja's body was found, as per Meghalaya police.

"Trump Is In The Epstein Files, That's Why...": Elon Musk's Bombshell On X

Amid a spiraling feud with friend-turned-foe and former boss, Donald Trump, Elon Musk has dropped a bombshell. US President Donald Trump is in the Epstein files, and that is why they are not being released, the tech billionaire claimed in a stunning remark on his social media platform X.

"Time to drop the really big bomb: Donald Trump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!" Musk wrote just over an hour after a verbal spat with the President took an ugly turn.

He followed that up by saying, "Mark this post for the future. The truth will come out."

Inseparable for the last nine months, billionaires Donald Trump and Elon Musk were only praises for each other, but the last week has been turbulent, and the past 24 hours explosive. With the passage of the controversial 'One Big Beautiful Bill', which the two friends have deep disagreements over, the gloves have now come off.

Over the past few hours Trump and Musk have dealt blow after blow on each other. While Trump publicly chided Musk over his posts, saying he was very "disappointed with Elon", Musk was quick to remind the "ungrateful" President that the reason he can call the White House his home, was because of Musk's support during the election campaign last year.

"Elon and I had a great relationship. I don't know if we will any more," Trump said at a White House press briefing. He also predicted that Elon "hasn't said bad about me personally, but I'm sure that'll be next," adding that he was "very disappointed in Elon".

In his swift and lethal response, Musk said, "Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate...Such ingratitude."

But as the stock value of Musk's EV firm Tesla plummeted with the passing of the controversial bill, Elon Musk dropped a series of posts, lambasting the US President for what Musk called "The Big Ugly Bill". His latest post however, is bound to shake up Washington DC - that the Epstein files aren't public because the US President figures in it.

Reacting to the post, a troll attempted to insinuate that Virat and Anushka sideline Bhawna during their major milestones. They wrote, "Why does he never mention you in any speech or like your post? Not even Anushkha does, lol." 

To this, Bhawna responded politely by sharply. She wrote, "May god give you the patience to understand love can exist in many ways, which is not necessarily shown to the world, but it's still there, like the love for almighty. Hope you have enough love in your life, no insecurities, only true bonds which don't need any validation. God bless you."  

Her graceful response quickly went viral on social media, with fans praising her for standing up for her brother and his wife with such dignity.
