On Memorial Day weekend of 1990, 40-year-old Marlene Warren heard the doorbell ring in her Palm Beach County home. When she opened the door, she was delighted to find a clown standing on the porch, holding two balloons and a basket of carnations. The clown handed the gifts to Marlene, then pulled out a gun and shot her in the face. Two days later, Marlene died in the local hospital, with nobody understanding who hated Marlene so much that they’d commit such a horrific crime. An investigation that spanned 27 years would finally reveal who’d painted their face in white clown makeup that day and murdered Marlene Warren in cold blood.
