FLORIDA 1990 Cold Case Solved - The Clown Walked Away Slowly After Shooting Her

A woman answered her door to a clown with balloons and was shot dead. The Marlene Warren case remained an enigma for 27 years. In May 1990, a bizarre crime shook Wellington Florida when a visitor dressed as a clown arrived at the front door. What initially appeared to be a strange, tragic encounter quickly turned into a complex investigation as the perpetrator fled the scene. This clown murder case spanned decades, with few leads and a husband who was nowhere near the scene at the time of the shooting. We trace how investigators eventually linked the getaway car to a family business, leading to a breakthrough nearly three decades later. The footage details the evidence that stalled the case for years and the final resolution that came long after most had given up hope of finding the truth. It is a look at a cold case that finally saw a guilty plea, even if the accused maintained their innocence until the end.
