Woman Pleads Guilty to Murder in 1990 ‘Killer Clown’ Case

Sheila Keen-Warren pleaded guilty to being the long-sought "killer clown" who murdered a Florida mother 33 years ago. In 1990, Marlene Warren answered the door of her home to find a woman dressed as a clown delivering flowers and a balloon reading "You're the greatest." Suddenly, the clown pulled a gun and shot Marlene in the face. She later died. The case went cold until Sheila was arrested in 2017 after her hair fiber was found in the getaway car.

can’t even imagine knowing it was your stepmom who murdered your mom just heartbreaking

[developer]

Imagine you find out that your moms killer was your stepmom. Very tragic.

Justice system is more of a clown then her.

[mimimarie]

I wouldn't be surprised if the husband knew about the murder or even helped planned it.

[kokoro]

What about the husband? You're telling me he knew nothing? That he was innocent? 🤬

[ZolAkechi]

Time served? What time did she serve? A few years? What a joke.

That should be first degree and life.

[kristenfambrough]

There's NO WAY the dad didn't know!! Why isn't he being charged with anything?! Absolutely NO WAY he didn't know...

[vaughmit]

it's so upsetting because Marlene was a huge fan of Clowns... I hate that Sheila used that to get her guard down. How horrible.

[marilynh.]

10 months is shameful. She should get life.

[jisoo]

That son lost a mother and a father because of two adults selfish actions… what a waste.

[gdewyg]

She really died innocent and let her rest in peace although no justice served

[sinead]

She basically got away with murder.. 10 months is a joke.. Where is the husband in all this.. He is just as guilty as what she is.. He was in on it!

[jessicapurdum]

10 months really speaks to how little our Justice system values women’s lives. She deserves Justice. I can’t believe it.

I’m so sorry for Joseph when he was 21 years after the tragic loss of his mother. He deserves a lot of love after the cold case has been solved. Justice will be served cold on Keen for killing Joseph’s mom.

[derrickjenkins]

Wow, didn’t realize how cheap human life is. This woman only got “10 months” for destroying a family. I think the husband had something to do with it also. They were having a affair.

[mspears_bobobuddytheseniorcat]

How did she get second degree murder?! She obviously purposely planned and intended to kill her! If that not first degree murder I don’t know what is! Also 10 months is insane.

[earthrocker]

The case is on morbid podcast - the crazy lady smiled at the son who had a broken leg trying to chase her, walked to her car and broke off as the son is trying to get her and his friends who were over were rightfully freaking out.

[chapter]

They need to question the husband. There’s no way he didn’t know about this.

[TeraLee..]

I remember this story on 20/20.
Everyone KNEW it was her…I believe HE KNEW she had done it and may have had previous knowledge.

[C_Los]

How is 5 years enough time for killing someone? Nah B, if that were my mom I’d have to go boom bap her myself
