Details of Disappearance

Allen was last seen in the the 3600 block of Snapfinger Road in Lithonia, Georgia at 1:30 a.m. on July 4, 2017. She lived in a group home at the time of her disappearance, as she needed round-the-clock care. She has never been heard from again. Her daughter stated she was struggling with her mental illness at the time of her disappearance.

Allen's daughter continued to call her cellular phone on July 9, when it died. Phone records indicate the phone was being used during this time, although no one answered any incoming calls. Someone repeatedly dialed 1-2-3, indicating possible confusion. Allen's family believes she did this because her mental state had deteriorated.

There has been no indication of Allen's whereabouts since her disappearance. Her case remains unsolved.
