Summary
It's a case with an ending almost as stunning as the scene where it all began — 33 years ago in the doorway of a home in a gated community of Wellington, Florida. A killer dressed as a clown fired a single bullet into the face of Marlene Warren, a soft-spoken mom from the midwest. For three decades, the case sat as one of Florida's most notorious unsolved murders. But after the face behind the white paint is finally revealed, hopes begin to falter that Marlene's murder would ever be truly solved. The story Felonious Florida brought you in Season 2 comes to an end.
