In the quiet town of Anniston, Alabama, a grim discovery was made on the morning of August 13, 2021. Authorities responded to a call on Parkwood Drive to find the body of 38-year-old Suzann B. Freck. She had sustained a fatal gunshot wound and was pronounced dead at the scene, marking the beginning of a homicide investigation.
Investigators with the Anniston Police Department quickly identified a suspect in the shooting. Christoper K.
Key was promptly taken into custody and transported to the Calhoun County Jail. At the time of his arrest, authorities announced that the investigation into Freck's death was ongoing.
In the months that followed, a federal indictment was brought against a Christopher Kevin Key in January of 2022. He was charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm in Calhoun County in August 2021, the same month and location as the death of Suzann Freck. While this charge was separate from the homicide, it was connected to the timeline of events surrounding her death. Further details regarding the motive for the shooting or the relationship between Freck and Key have not been made publicly available. Information about a trial, conviction, or sentencing in relation to the death of Suzann B. Freck has not been released.
