Monroe County Sheriff’s Office deputies say they arrived at a grisly scene inside a Florida Keys home early Thursday morning after a husband brutally beat his wife to death.

Deputies found 62-year-old Lynne Alane Shadduck naked, lying in the hallway of her house on the canal-lined Maracaibo Lane in Cudjoe Key around 6 a.m. She was bloody and had injuries to her face, the back of her head and her hands, deputies say.

Her husband, Bradly Shawn Shadduck, 56, is in the county’s main jail on Stock Island. He was booked on a second-degree murder charge. About 15 minutes before deputies got to the house, 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 the 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.

Her husband told deputies at the scene, “Things just happened,” the arrest report states. When cops took him to the sheriff’s office’s headquarters on Stock Island, he elaborated, but the interview ended because he asked for an attorney, deputies wrote in the report.

Shadduck said he and his wife went to Tonio’s Seafood on Summerland Key, one island north of Cudjoe in the Lower Keys. There, they “had lots of drinks,” Shadduck told detectives, 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.

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. 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 footage also showed Shadduck grabbing the railing to her steps and shaking it with both hands, the report states, adding that deputies found two bloody handprints on the railing. That neighbor said she heard the couple arrive at their house at around 1:35 a.m., according to the report.

Shadduck’s first appearance before a judge is scheduled for Friday, June 5. Information about his bond and legal counsel was not immediately available. Other than traffic tickets and boating infractions, he does not have a criminal record in the Keys, according to court records.
