It was 10.45am on 26 May 1990 and Marlene Warren was enjoying breakfast when the doorbell rang.
The 40-year-old got up from the table where she’d been sitting with son Joe Ahrens, 21, and his friends.
Her husband Michael, a car salesman, was out.
Walking to the hallway of her family’s home in an upmarket area of Palm Beach, Florida, Marlene swung open the door.
Found someone unexpected on her doorstep.
A clown.
Wearing a bright orange wig and a full face of circus make-up.
So strange…
The clown
