Carole Clement (Ace of Hearts, Florida)

AUDIOCHUCK
About this episode

Our card this week is Carole Clement, the Ace of Hearts from Florida. 

When a beloved mother and grandmother is found stabbed to death inside her own home in an affluent seaside community, detectives are immediately suspicious of her soon-to-be ex-husband. But when his alibi seemed to check out, they were compelled to look at less obvious alternatives. Was this a murder-for-hire plot, or could the killer be someone much closer to Carole than they’d previously assumed?

  • If you know anything about the murder of Carole Clement in Naples, Florida, in March of 1992, you’re urged to come forward. You can remain anonymous by submitting a tip through Southwest Florida Crime Stoppers online or by calling them at 1-800-780-8477.
