The Killer Clown Mystery

Wellington, in Palm Beach County, Florida, sits inland from West Palm Beach. The town grew from almost nothing in the 1980s to about 61,000 people, though only about 20,000 lived there when this story began; the median household income was $98,163 and the median home price $642,500. Charles Oliver Wellington, a Massachusetts accountant and aviator, bought 18,000 acres of swampland in the 1950s and named it the Flying Cow Ranch after his initials, The Aero Club, where the Warrens lived, was an aviation community with its own grass runway and hangars built into the houses.

At about 11am on 26 May 1990, Joe and his mother had just finished breakfast when someone knocked. Marlene looked out and saw a person in a full clown costume, orange hair and white face paint, holding a basket of flowers and mylar balloons. She said the flowers were pretty, opened the door, and the clown, without speaking, took out a gun and shot her in the mouth. Joe, who had a cast on his leg, saw the clown run to a white Chrysler LeBaron with no plates and drive off. the rest of this account is covered until you choose to reveal it Neighbours heard two shots and later heard Joe wailing. The bullet entered her lip, fractured her teeth, went through her tongue and lodged in her spinal cord; she died two days later, on 28 May.

The LeBaron was found a couple of days later in Royal Palm Beach. It had been rented from Pay Less on Congress Avenue by the Warrens' own rental company and left with the keys in it after a telephone instruction that the company later denied giving. The police had little else: no gun, no fingerprints, no surveillance footage, just the basket and balloons. this part of the story is covered for now details of the account remain covered until revealed
