A person of interest has been identified in connection to a severed human leg found in a Milwaukee County park last week.
Police have not explained how Anderson became a person of interest in the case and said he has not been charged.
On Tuesday, April 9, prosecutors were granted a 72-hour extension to review the evidence. Otherwise, Anderson could be released.

The severed human leg was found at Warnimont Park in Cudahy on Tuesday, April 2. Then, less than a week later, human remains were found at three other scenes in Milwaukee County.
Investigators have not said if the incidents are related.
The Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office also added that someone at Warnimont Park came across “two items” that authorities believe “may be related” to their investigation of the leg that was found last week.

“It’s very unusual you’re going to have someone dismember a body,” he said.
He added that DNA, phone records and surveillance videos will be crucial to solve this case.
“You can see what law enforcement is trying to do to put this together,” Spingola said. “It’s a big jigsaw puzzle.”
While authorities have not connected Anderson to missing 19-year-old Sade Robinson, Spingnola noted that the family saying they were invited to his hearing is a telling sign.

“How does she come in contact with Mr. Anderson, where do their paths cross,” he said. “That’s going to be the interesting thing.”
The family of Robinson sat in the front row of Anderson’s hearing. Her car was found burned near where police found body parts and remains on three separate days over the weekend.
Since Robinson went missing, her family’s been asking for donations for search efforts, but as of Wednesday night, the GoFundMe said the money will now be used for memorial expenses.
So far, law enforcement has not confirmed if Robinson is dead or connected her in any way to the body parts. Police have also not connected her to Anderson.
