A quiet Cudjoe Key street turned into an active crime scene before sunrise Thursday when deputies arrested 56-year-old Bradly Shawn Shadduck and charged him with murder after finding his 62-year-old wife, Lynne Alane Shadduck, gravely injured inside their home. Medics rushed her to Lower Keys Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead. Shadduck was booked into the Key West jail and is being held without bond while he awaits arraignment.
Neighbors Flagged Down Deputies
Deputies say they were called just before 6 a.m. to 136 Maracaibo Lane, where they found the house "in complete disarray" and the victim lying in a hallway, according to Local 10. A neighbor told investigators that Shadduck had come next door "with a Cleveland Browns blanket and no clothes on" and repeatedly asked them to call 911, the arrest report states. Responding deputies described blood throughout the residence, including "a large pool of blood" in the living room.
Suspect's Account And Evidence
CBS News Miami reported that the Monroe County Sheriff's Office charged a Florida Keys man with murder on Thursday and that investigators are continuing their probe. The arrest report quoted Shadduck as saying he and his wife had "food and lots of drinks" the night before and suggesting the mess could be the result of consensual rough sex, though deputies said the physical evidence pointed to a serious struggle. Deputies also noted video of the suspect banging on neighbors' doors earlier that morning and two bloody prints on a railing at a nearby home.
Public Records Show Local Ties
State corporate filings list 136 Maracaibo Lane as the principal address for a company that names Bradly S. Shadduck as an authorized person, corroborating public records about the household, according to Florida Department of State records. County parcel data also ties the victim to a local property near Cudjoe Key, consistent with reporting on the scene.
Charges And Court Date
Deputies charged Shadduck with second-degree murder, according to Local 10, and he remains held in the Key West jail with no bond. Court records show an arraignment scheduled for Friday, June 5, when prosecutors will decide whether to file formal, potentially enhanced charges as the investigation continues.
Investigators Continue To Seek Answers
The Monroe County Sheriff's Office is still processing evidence and interviewing witnesses as it builds the case, media outlets report. Any new public records or filings are expected to appear through the county clerk's office and local news updates as the court process moves forward.
