A Kenosha, Wisconsin, jury convicted Zachariah Anderson on March 22, 2023, of first-degree intentional homicide, hiding the corpse of Rosalio Gutierrez Jr. and two counts of stalking, although Gutierrez's body has never been found.

Gutierrez, 40, known as Pocho, lived in Kenosha and worked for the Wisconsin State Public Defender's office. He held degrees in criminal justice and sociology and was the father of two children. In February 2020, Sadie Beacham ended a long-term relationship with Anderson, 42, of Mequon, with whom she shared a daughter, and began a relationship with Gutierrez that she had started online.

Gutierrez was last seen on May 17, 2020. The next day, Beacham went to his Kenosha apartment and found large amounts of blood on the floors, furniture and ceiling, signs of a struggle and a missing area rug. Kenosha police responded to a welfare check at the apartment that day.

Investigators documented months of surveillance by Anderson. He tracked Beacham using a phone hidden in their daughter's car seat and gave the daughter another phone to record her mother. On April 25, 2020, Anderson took the daughter with him at night to Beacham's house, looked through a window, went through Gutierrez's truck, photographed its plate and registration, rang the doorbell and left.

Mequon police arrested Anderson on May 21, 2020, at the request of Kenosha police on two felony stalking counts. Gutierrez's blood was found in Anderson's work van, which had its carpeting removed and its interior cleaned with bleach. Two uneaten cans of sardines were under the passenger seat. Cadaver dogs and searchers found burn pits at Anderson's home and property containing charred clothing and the remains of a bleach bottle. Walmart surveillance from May 19, 2020, showed him buying garbage bags, latex gloves, bleach wipes and cans of sardines.

During the recorded interview after the stalking arrest, Anderson explained his surveillance of Beacham and Gutierrez and denied any involvement in the disappearance. Prosecutors later characterized his account to police as false denials. Homicide and hiding a corpse charges were filed in December 2020. Anderson's daughter, who was 15 and is not named in reporting, testified for the State on March 15, 2023, describing the surveillance her father had directed.

Anderson pleaded not guilty to all counts. After a four-week trial, a jury of seven women and five men deliberated for about 10 hours over two days before convicting him on all four counts. On May 16, 2023, Kenosha County Circuit Judge Bruce Schroeder imposed a life sentence with eligibility to petition for extended supervision after 40 years, plus consecutive terms on the remaining counts. The structure means Anderson could not apply for release until his early 90s. He told the court, "I didn't kill anybody." In June 2024, he filed a $10 million claim against the City of Mequon over the May 2020 arrest, alleging there was no probable cause and that the search warrant contained false information. The city attorney recommended rejection, and a committee vote was set for June 11, 2024. The status of any direct appeal of the conviction could not be confirmed.
