A 56-year-old Cudjoe Key, Florida man was arrested on May 28, 2026, for murder in the death of his wife: 62-year-old Lynne Alane Shadduck.

She was found unconscious on a hallway floor with injuries to her face, head, and hands at approximately 5:51 a.m. on Maracaibo Lane.

The Sheriff’s Office was notified after her husband, Bradly Shawn Shadduck, went to a neighbor’s residence wrapped in a blanket or towel but otherwise naked, and asked them to call 911 as there was “blood everywhere.”

The interior of the Shadduck residence was found in disarray with blood in multiple areas.

Lynne Shadduck was taken to Lower Keys Medical Center on Stock Island where she was later pronounced dead.

The investigation remains ongoing. Autopsy results are pending.

“There is no threat to the public at this time” said Sheriff Rick Ramsay, who also responded to the scene.

Shadduck was booked into jail on Thursday.
