WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. —

Lawyers for the woman accused of being Wellington’s “killer clown” are demanding more evidence they say the state is withholding — evidence they say could aid in Sheila Keen-Warren’s defense.

Keen-Warren’s lawyers filed a motion to compel Friday demanding the state turn over the following information:

The Clown Sighting File –

Lawyers say after the 1990 murder of Marlene Warren by someone dressed as a clown:

    “The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office received numerous clown sightings and citizen leads, all of which were evaluated and placed in a clown sighting file.”

    But defense attorney Greg Rosenfeld said the current lead detective, Paige McCann, testified in deposits she’d never seen the file and had never looked into it to see if it even existed.

    The Federal Grants –

    Lawyers say Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office hasn’t revealed whether they used federal money to investigate this case and whether they have any financial incentive to do so.

    The Possible Suspect –

    In 1991 an inmate in Maine claimed cellmate Ed Bahr confessed to being hired as a hitman, dressing as a clown and shooting Warren in the face.

      The defense says McCann tested in a 2019 deposition she did not follow up with Bahr or any of the original persons of interest when she reopened the cold case and focused solely on Keen-Warren.

      “When questioned about Ed Bahr, she stated that she believed he was dead.”

      This year, however, the defense was stunned to learn the State went on to investigate Bahr without telling them – for 10 months, even traveling to his Houston home twice for searches:

      “The state didn’t reveal any of this…about a suspect in the death of Marlene Warren.”

      The Ongoing Investigation –

      The motion said the murder investigation is still ongoing, but the state refuses to provide any information:

      “The fact that the State is continuing the investigate this case five years after Ms. Keen-Warren’s arrest, and on the eve of trial, is unconscionable.”

      The state has yet to file any response to two motions to complete filed this week demanding they turn over information.

      A spokesman for the State Attorney’s Office declined to comment, saying they can’t comment outside of court.

      Trial begins Oct. 21.
