Summary

Marlene Warren loved clowns. She loved them so much, she painted many pictures of clowns, and one of her paintings is our cover photo. Marlene enjoyed clowns so much, that it was an ironic tragedy when she was murdered by one. In 1990, Marlene answered the front door to her home where she was greeted by a clown with flowers and balloons for her. While Marlene admired the flowers as they were held by the clown, the clown then shot her point blank in the face. Listen to this week's episode to hear more.
