CBS 48 Hours sets to revisit Marlene Warren’s shooting death from 1990 and the case against ‘Killer Clown’ Sheila Keen-Warren. Earlier this year, Sheila pleaded guilty to dressing up as a clown and shooting the former in the face over three decades ago.
Marlene’s case remained unsolved until 2017 when police arrested Sheila, the rumored mistress and subsequent wife of the victim’s husband, in connection to the murder. They linked her to the 27-year old slaying using DNA evidence as well as witness accounts. The accused’s guilty plea in April came with a 12-year sentence.
According to the Florida Department of Corrections, Sheila Keen-Warren, dubbed Killer Clown, is currently serving time at the Gadsden Correctional Facility.
The upcoming episode titled “Murder by Clown” airs on the channel this Saturday, October 28, 2023, at 10 p.m. ET.
Is Killer Clown Sheila Keen-Warren in prison?
As previously mentioned, Sheila Keen-Warren, dubbed Killer Clown, is currently serving her 12-year sentence at Florida’s Gadsden Correctional Facility. Earlier this year on April 25, she pleaded guilty to a first-degree murder charge stemming from Marlene Warren’s 1990 shooting death.
People Magazine reported that Sheila faced justice three decades after she dressed up as a clown and shot Marlene in the face at the doorway of her house. The victim’s then-21-year-old Joseph Ahrens son witnessed the incident that occurred in the morning hours of May 26, 1990.
The outlet further stated that authorities claimed they had long suspected Sheila’s involved in the killing. Moreover, prosecutors claimed she dressed up in a clown’s out and arrived at the Warrens’ home, bearing a bouquet of carnations and two balloons. After shooting the mother-of-one, the accused calmly fled the scene in a white convertible.
Authorities reportedly re-opened the case in 2014 and used DNA and witness accounts among other crucial evidence to link Sheila to the murder. The now-60-year-old initially faced first-degree murder charges before accepting a plea agreement approved by the victim’s family.
