It’s been nearly three decades since a clown bearing a bouquet of carnations and two balloons shot 40-year-old Marlene Warren in the face in the doorway of her Florida home, leaving her to die.

For years the May 26, 1990, slaying in wealthy Palm Beach County went unsolved and the killer clown went unidentified — that is, authorities say, until now.

Armed with new DNA evidence, investigators arrested Sheila Keen Warren on Sept. 26 about a mile from her home in Abingdon, Virginia, where she was living with Michael Warren, Marlene’s widower, whom Sheila wed in 2002.

Charged with first-degree murder, Sheila was extradited on Oct.

Police were able to catch an alleged killer who police say dressed as a clown and killed a woman in Florida nearly 30 years ago by setting a trap for her, ABC’s 20/20 reports in an episode airing Friday night.

In May 1990, when Marlene Warren, 40, opened the door of her luxurious Palm Beach County home, she was fatally shot in the face by someone dressed as a clown who then slid into a white convertible and calmly drove away.

The case went cold for years until Palm Beach County authorities reopened it — and discovered new DNA evidence allegedly linking a woman named Sheila Keen Warren,...

A 54-year-old Virginia woman is finally behind bars nearly 30 years after she allegedly dressed as a clown and shot her boyfriend’s wife in the head in Florida – a case dubbed the “Killer Clown.”

Sheila Keen Warren was arrested in Washington County, Virginia, on Tuesday after a grand jury indicted her on a first-degree murder charge in August, the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office announced in a statement on Tuesday.

The arrest comes 27 years after Keen Warren allegedly put on an orange wig and white face paint and headed to Marlene Warren’s Wellington home with flowers, two balloons and a gun,...

The end of next month marks the 38th anniversary of David Lynch’s debut feature film, “Eraserhead.” To preemptively commemorate the occasion, we thought we’d dust off an oldie, but a very much still relevant goodie. Filmmaker (and mega Lynch buff) Michael Warren cut together a fantastic 18-and-a-half-minute supercut of Lynch’s work three years ago, which holds up, given that the writer-director’s last feature was “Inland Empire” way back in 2006. Warren’s tribute chronicles all ten of one-of-a-kind artist’s narrative movies to date, including “Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me.” A true homage, it doesn’t skimp on making use of shots from the “Twin Peaks” series, either. Notable not just for its thoroughness, Warren’s video is wonderfully edited. He seamlessly splices together “Dune,” “Wild at Heart,” and “The Elephant Man” with “Blue Velvet,” “The Straight Story,” and “Mulholland Drive” (not to mention the other aforementioned pictures). Just as strong,...

As if he were answering every sci-fi lovers’ dream, Michael Warren has taken it upon himself to create this massive, startlingly impressive super edit/fan version of David Lynch’s film version of the Frank Herbert novel "Dune." Warren’s version is comprised of the theatrical cut of the film (which even "Dune"-novices have seen by now), the extended television cut (for slightly advanced "Dune" lovers), and the deleted scenes.

There’s a long, storied history of Hollywood films being turned into Broadway musicals, none quite so much as animated classics such as Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King. One of the more recent Hollywood-to-Broadway transplants is none other than DreamWorks Animation’s 2001 hit Shrek, which was turned into Shrek the Musical. For those of us who weren’t lucky enough to either see the show on Broadway or in its touring edition, you won’t have to wait much longer to check this out for yourself. Shrek the Musical is lumbering its way onto Blu-ray and DVD this Octogre…uh, October. (October 15, to be precise.)

Vulture is in the midst of its Sitcom Smackdown, a three-week contest that pits the best sitcoms of the last 30 years against each other to crown the ultimate winner. But while that bracket focuses on the greatest, most innovative modern comedies, it couldn't cover all of the series that live on in our hearts, the ones that may not fit those highfalutin parameters but which we could talk about for days. To give these other series their moments to shine, every day we’ll be pitting two like-minded comedies against each other: We’ll pick our winner, and readers will then vote for their own. Today: It’s more family-on-family, as we pit Family Matters against Step by Step.

Boyett, whose family comedies,...

Washington, Oct 2: Hollywood actress Jessica Alba has reportedly said that turning 30 and having another child has made her more "considerate".

Alba, 30, recently gave birth to another daughter in August, with TV actor Michael Warren's son, Cash warren.

The 'Fantastic 4' actress admitted that motherhood and hitting the landmark age have both contributed to her becoming more selfless.

"I feel like I'm much more considerate and can give more of myself than I could before, as I was so caught up in being self-aware and being a people pleaser that I almost got in my own way. Now I'm at ease with myself," Contactmusic quoted the actress as saying.

"I'm definitely more grounded and secure in my choices. My priorities.

The Indiana governor needs to jump into the 2012 race-or stop ruminating about it. Jill Lawrence on why playing the reluctant candidate is more likely to turn Daniels into a Fred Thompson than a George Washington.

One week of making the rounds as a possible presidential candidate, and Mitch Daniels is already digging himself out of a hole. Memo to Mitch: Get in or out, but do it soon. There's such a thing as playing too hard to get, and it can be risky.

Q: I have always had a massive movie crush on the ever-darling Simon Rex. I was not of the generation that lived through his rise to stardom and/or the revelation of pre-stardom past. How did he survive it? How did the gay community go through it? It seems stunning to me that the news of his past is not more widely discussed. Was it well discussed in the past, or simply a notch on a tabloid page? Did he ever fend off allegations of him being gay? – Maharajah, West Palm Beach, Fl
