Anderson then drove around Milwaukee where he disposed of her body in multiple places along with setter her car on fire.

“What kind of person cuts off someone’s head off? A killer, a killer who’s trying get away with killing,” Vance-Curzan said in court. “There is no question about the person responsible for doing it. The killer, it’s him.”
