The Killer Clown: Murder on the Doorstep

The Killer Clown: Murder on the Doorstep examines the jaw dropping true story behind the Florida Killer Clown case that gripped America in the early 90s. Marlene Warren, a young wife and mother was brutally gunned down on her own doorstep by a person dressed as a clown, witnessed by her traumatised 21-year-old son Joe and his friends.

With rumours of infidelity and an unhappy marriage Marlene’s husband Michael Warren emerges as the prime suspect, but with a solid alibi detectives can’t prove his involvement, and the case goes cold. Three decades later there’s a shocking twist – Michael’s alleged mistress Sheila Keen is arrested for Marlene’s murder accused of donning the clown disguise. In May 2023 Sheila pleaded guilty just before trial. Case closed? Or does this guilty plea raise as many questions as it answers?

This three-part series re-examines the case uncovering a complex web of love, betrayal, and deceit. Through interviews with investigators, attorneys for both the defence and prosecution, Marlene’s son Joe and others close to Michael and Marlene, the series unravels the chilling motives behind the murder and the quest for justice that spanned nearly 30 years.
