Marlene Warren
Prosecutors to seek death penalty against accused Wellington clown killer
Sheila Warren appeared in court Wednesday morning.
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — The suspect in the Wellington clown murder cold case made her first appearance in court Wednesday morning. During the hearing, prosecutors announced they will seek the death penalty against Sheila Warren.
Warren was booked into the Palm Beach County Jail Tuesday night. She was arrested at her Virginia home nearly 30 years after the murder.
Investigators say it was new DNA technology that pinned Keen Warren to the cold case.
It was Memorial Day weekend in 1990 when a woman dressed as a clown knocked on Marlene Warren's door, handed her flowers and balloons and then shot her in the face.
27 years later, deputies identified Keen-Warren as the woman behind the make up and clown wig.
At the time of the murder, deputies say Keen Warren worked for the victim's husband. The two were allegedly having an affair. They married 12 years after the murder.
Keen-Warren is expected to face a judge Wednesday morning.
