Biography

Maddie Key is a former employee at Dearth's Earth. While in high school, she was Emile Freshwater's girlfriend and discovered his body 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 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 arriving in his Jeep at 9:08am, roughly the time Jared and Emile would have returned home after track practice. Given the fact it was a minimum 30 minute drive from Samuelton to Dryer Lake Clark couldn't have killed the boys or even Tabitha and still made it to the resort by 9:08.

Authorities suggest either 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 DVD with a copy video file taken in evidence by investigators was subsequently lost. Because the hotel system backups were automatically purged after 30 days there was no further opportunity to analyze the recording.
