A woman accused of dressing up as a clown and fatally shooting Marlene Warren, her now-husband's first wife, in 1990 pleaded guilty to second-degree murder more than three decades later. Florida woman pleads guilty in 'killer clown' case:
A clown came to Marlene Warren's door in the late morning of May 26, 1990 holding flowers and balloons, according to witnesses and prosecutors.The clown, who prosecutors said was really Keen-Warren in a costume, offered Marlene Warren the carnations and balloons. Then she pulled the trigger and fled in a white Chrysler LeBaron, all in front of Marlene Warren's then-21-year-old son.
Detectives said at the time the murder was well-planned, but a few clues led them to look at Keen-Warren, the Palm Beach Post reported in 1990. One of the balloons she was holding while dressed as a clown that day depicted Snow White, and wasn't sold in many stores in the area. Investigators thought the car the clown drove could be one stolen from Michael Warren's business.
Deputies arrested her in Virginia, where she was living under a new name with Michael Warren, in 2017. She has remained in the Palm Beach County Jail, in what her attorneys described as "near solitary confinement" ever since.Keen-Warren pleaded guilty "because she is guilty,” Assistant State Attorney Reid Scott told the judge.
