Killer Clown Smiles For Mug Shot.

Killer Clown Finally Brought to Justice.

A cold case involving a murderous clown was finally solved after 27 years, the death of Marlene Williams. Florida, May 26th, 1990 Williams was eating breakfast when a doorbell rang.

Palm Beach County investigators declined to share additional details about the case, saying the investigation is ongoing.

Palm Beach County Sheriff Rick Bradshaw said advancements in DNA evidence helped seal the case. In 1990, the evidence was just not strong enough to secure a conviction, he said.

It’s exponentially so much better to assist us in making sure we have the right person.”
