The Pearland Police Department made quick work of a murder investigation last week that ended with the arrest of a local man suspected of strangling his mother-in-law.

According to reports from Pearland Police Detective Cecil Arnold, PPD was dispatched to the 1500 block of Panorama View Lane in Pearland on Thursday, September 20, at around 5:45 PM.
 
Members of the Pearland Fire Department were already at the scene performing life-saving measures on a 61-year-old female that lived at the residence.
 
Once Pearland Police Units arrived, they were informed by the Fire Department that the female victim had marks consistent with strangulation.
 
The victim was sent via ambulance to the hospital, but unfortunately died from her injuries shortly after arriving there.
 
Detective Arnold and his team began investigating the incident immediately, and they were able to quickly ID a potential suspect ... 55-year-old Richard Key.
 
According to information gathered by PPD, Key lived in the same home as the deceased female, and has been the common-law husband of the victim's daughter for over a decade.
 
Key was located, brought in for an interview with Detective Arnold and was arrested all in the same evening.
 
Key is currently being held in the Harris County Jail on $250,000 bond.
 
Great job by everyone involved, including the first responders for getting the info to detectives quickly so the investigation could get underway.

Praying for the family. Sad that people go to the extreme of taking a life when you have the opportunity just to walk away.

He is a piece of trash that has sponged off of that family for years. He claimed to be in the military even though he just put on someone's Navy cap and called himself military. His best talent was sitting on his unemployed *** drinking beer. Our community is better off without him.
