Grand jury charges Florida Keys man with murder in beating death of his wife

A Monroe County grand jury charged a Florida Keys man Monday with first-degree murder in the beating death of his wife inside the couple’s home in May.

State Attorney’s Office prosecutors originally charged Bradly Shawn Shadduck, 56, with second-degree murder, but the grand jury indictment supersedes that charge, and he is now being held without bond on premeditated murder.

Deputies arrived at his canal-lined Maracaibo Lane home where he lived with his wife, Lynne Alane Shadduck, on Cudjoe Key early morning May 28 to find a grisly scene with blood inside the house.

Lynne Shadduck, 62, was found naked, lying in the hallway around 6 a.m. She had injuries to her face, the back of her head and her hands, deputies say.

Minutes earlier, Bradly Shadduck, who was wearing only a Cleveland Browns blanket, went to a neighbor’s home and told him to call 911.

“Dude, my whole [expletive] house is full of blood, covered everywhere,” deputies heard him tell the neighbor on the man’s security-camera footage, according to his arrest report.

Monroe County Fire Rescue paramedics took Lynne Shadduck to Lower Keys Medical Center in Key West, where she died. When they arrived at the house, she was still breathing and had a pulse, according to the arrest report.

Bradly Shadduck told deputies at the scene that “things just happened,” the arrest report states.

But when deputies took him to the sheriff’s office headquarters on Stock Island, he elaborated, saying he and his wife went to a restaurant on Summerland Key, one island north of Cudjoe Key in the Lower Keys, where they “had lots of drinks,” he told deputies, according to the report.

“Bradly said that when he drinks, he passes out and doesn’t remember anything,” the report states. But he also told detectives that he and his wife had “rough sex, and that is why the inside of the house is a complete mess,” according to the report.

The interview ended when Shadduck asked to speak to an attorney, deputies wrote in the report.

Detectives obtained a search warrant for the couple’s house and described in the report what they found as “a complete disaster.”

“There was blood throughout the entire residence, from the front door there was bloody hand smears along with pools of blood on the floor in the main living area,” the report states.

“Several items, objects and or instruments were broken throughout the entire residence. … Several towels were covered with blood on the floor between the living area and the kitchen,” the report continued. “The main hallway had a bloody smear on the floor as if the victim was dragged down the hallway to the bathroom. The bathroom with the toilet and the tub/shower combo all had dried blood on or around each of these.”

Another of the Shadducks’ neighbors let deputies watch security-camera footage from her house, and it shows Bradly Shadduck outside her home at 4:07 a.m. banging on the windows and front door. He was shirtless and wearing shorts, according to the arrest report.

The camera footage also showed Shadduck grabbing the railing to her steps and shaking it with both hands, the report states. Deputies found two bloody handprints on the railing.

That woman also said she heard the couple arrive at their house at around 1:35 a.m., according to the report. Other than traffic tickets and boating infractions, he does not have a criminal record in the Keys, according to court records. Those familiar with him say he is a musician who performs at several Keys bars.

Major Crimes Assistant State Attorney Colleen M. Dunne will prosecute the case, the State Attorney’s Office said. Information on his legal counsel was not immediately available.
