CUDJOE KEY, Fla. — A Cudjoe Key man is facing a second-degree murder charge after sheriff’s deputies said he killed his wife in a bloody attack on Thursday morning.

According to the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded just before 6 a.m. to the home of Bradly Shawn Shadduck, 56, and his wife, Lynne Alane Shadduck, 62, at 136 Maracaibo Lane.

Deputies said Bradly Shadduck went to his next door neighbor’s house “with a Cleveland Browns blanket and no clothes on” and told his neighbor to “call 911, dude; my f---ing whole house is full of blood, covered everywhere with blood, say it, will be there.”

According to an MCSO arrest report, deputies arrived to find the home “in complete disarray” with several broken household items and “blood and blood smears throughout the floor, along with a large pool of blood located in the center of the living room.”

Deputies said Bradly Shadduck “was completely naked and only covered with a blanket,” while Lynne Shadduck was lying naked in the hallway, bloodied, bruised and unconscious, but still breathing.

The report states that when deputies asked Bradly Shadduck what happened, he simply said, “This just happened,” but “refused to provide any additional details regarding the incident and repeatedly stated his wife needed help.”

Medics took Lynne Shadduck to Lower Keys Medical Center, where she would be pronounced dead later that morning.

Authorities said Bradly Shadduck told detectives he and his wife had “food and lots of drinks” at a restaurant on Summerland Key the previous night and claimed the home was in disarray because of “rough sex.”

“Bradly said that when he drinks, he passes out and doesn’t remember anything,” MCSO Deputy Paul McNalley wrote in the arrest report. “Bradly doesn’t remember going to his neighbor’s home asking for help. Bradly then asked for a lawyer.”

In video showing him going to his neighbor’s home to make the 911 call request, deputies said Bradly Shadduck “appears to be wet and possibly just took a shower.”

They said an additional piece of video showed him banging on the windows and door of another neighbor a little less than two hours before.

“Bradly at this time is shirtless and wearing a light-colored pair of shorts. Bradly is heard breathing heavily and attempts to open the front door by entering a passcode, but was unsuccessful,” McNalley wrote. “Bradly is seen banging on the windows and doors for approximately (two to three) minutes. Bradly is then seen grabbing the railing with both hands and shaking it. (The homeowner) gave consent to search and there were two bloody prints located on that railing.”

Authorities said a search warrant of the home later revealed blood “throughout the entire residence,” including on towels and in the bathroom and master bedroom.

“The main hallway had a bloody smear on the floor as if the victim was dragged down the hallway to the bathroom,” McNalley wrote.

McNalley concluded that evidence showed what appeared to be “a significant fight and struggle for the victim,” but he noted that Bradly Shadduck was unhurt.

Bradly Shadduck, as of Friday morning, was being held in MCSO’s Key West jail facility with no listed bond.

Records show he’s set to be arraigned next Friday.
