    Florida case of clown who killed woman solved, police say – 27 years later

    Murder detectives in Florida believe they have solved a bizarre 27-year-old cold case in which a young woman was shot dead by a balloon-carrying clown who knocked at her door.

    The killer of Marlene Warren, authorities said on Thursday, was Sheila Keen, who was having an affair with the victim’s husband at the time of the May 1990 homicide and who was later to become his second wife.

    According to the Palm Beach sheriff’s detective Paige McCann, Keen, who was arrested in Virginia on Tuesday, dressed as a clown with white face paint to disguise her identity and called at the house in Wellington, where Warren was at home with her son and some of his friends.

    “The clown had two balloons as well as a bouquet of flowers and went to hand Marlene those items. And as she went to receive those items, she commented: ‘How nice,’” McCann told reporters at a news conference in West Palm Beach.

    “It was at that time the clown pulled out a gun and shot Marlene in the face.”

    She said one of the balloons was printed with the words: “You’re the greatest!”
