Madison Key

Madison is a character in the Melisende Dulac Series.

Biography

Maddie Key is a former employee at Dearth's Earth. While in high school, she was Jared Freshwater's girlfriend. She discovered the bodies after the Freshwater Murders.

During the events of Memory Garden, she works at the Samuelton Ledger as a local reporter and copy editor. She also works part-time at Cuppa Jo as a barista.

Maddie has long questioned about Clark’s involvement in the Freshwater Murders. She argues that while it was theoretically possible Clark killed Dorothy, security footage from the Dryer Lake hotel parking lot showed Clark’s Jeep arriving at 9:08 am, roughly the time Jared and Emile would have reached home after their track practice. Given the fact it was a minimum 30-40 minute drive from Samuelton to Dryer Lake he couldn't have killed the boys or even Tabitha and still made it to the resort.

Authorities suggest the clock at the hotel security system was off, or reports of exactly when the boys left practice and Tabitha her overnight were inaccurate. Lack of any other plausible suspects and Clark's apparent flight lend weight to their belief he is the perpetrator.

The video recording from the security system was subsequently lost, and no backup was kept by the hotel—eliminating any opportunity to analyze the recording further.
