The true story behind The Killer Clown: Murder on the Doorstep

The series follows the case of Marlene Warren’s murder and sheds light on its details through interviews with investigators, attorneys, and Marlene’s son, Joe. The first episode, airing June 5, 2025, covers the initial investigation into her death.

As reported by CBS News, in 1990, Marlene Warren, a wife and mother, was shot in the face on her Florida doorstep by someone dressed as a clown holding balloons and flowers. Her son Joe and his friends witnessed the crime.

Detectives suspected her husband, Michael Warren, due to their troubled marriage and rumors of his affair with Sheila Keen. Michael had a solid alibi, so no charges were filed.

A costume shop lead pointed to Sheila, who bought a clown outfit, wig, and makeup a few days before the murder. A Publix supermarket employee described a woman matching Sheila’s appearance buying balloons and flowers. Despite this, evidence was insufficient, and the case went cold. In 2017, new DNA and fiber evidence linked Sheila to the crime.

She was arrested, and in May 2023, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder to avoid a life sentence. Sheila served a prison sentence for 18 months. Michael was never charged but profited from Marlene’s assets after her death. The case revealed a web of infidelity and deceit.
