Details of Disappearance
Angela was last seen in the 3500 block of south Salina Street Syracuse, New York at 2:10 p.m. on December 26, 1979. She spoke to her mother briefly over the telephone that morning, but said she was too sleepy to talk and would call her back later. Angela's mother says her daughter sounded normal during their conversation. She has never been heard from again and authorities don't believe she left of her own accord.

Angela left behind her last paycheck. Her husband, Hubert James "Mad Dog" Allen, attempted to pick it up after her disappearance. He's the prime suspect in her case; authorities believe he killed her on the day of her disappearance and disposed of her body. Possible burial sites include Onondaga Indian Nation territory, or the Allied Chemical salt pits in the northern part of the county. Hubert and Angela used to go on dates to both sites.

In October 1985, Hubert was convicted of the murder of his girlfriend, Lorraine Marshall, and their six-year-old son, James Jose Allen. Marshall was found stabbed to death in her apartment in March 1985; James's strangled corpse was found washed up on the shore of Onondaga Lake several weeks later.

Marshall had been seeing Hubert at the time of Angela's disappearance. She refused to cooperate with authorities about Angela's case until 1982, when she began making statements to investigators. Marshall stated that, in December 1979, Hubert had told her he accidentally killed Angela and asked for her assistance in hiding the body. Then he passed the story off as a joke. Marshall said she noticed that his boots were caked with mud after Allen's disappearance.

Authorities believe Hubert killed Marshall and their son because of her cooperation with the police about Allen's disappearance. He was sentenced to fifty years to life in prison for the murders and will not be eligible for parole until 2035; he will be ninety-two years old by then. He has never been charged in connection Allen's case. Hubert says Allen simply left him without warning one day and he does not know her whereabouts. He also said she took $11,000 in cash from their home when she disappeared, and he did not believe she was dead.

Angela was employed by the department store J.C. Penney at the time of her disappearance. Her mother attempted to have her declared legally dead in 1990, but she was declared legally missing instead. Her estate, including a $10,000 life insurance policy, was distributed to her two daughters.

Circumstances of Disappearance​

<<Angela Allen was reported missing two days after Christmas in 1979. Her mother was the last person known to have talked with Allen, on December 26.

Angela lived with her husband and two children in an apartment on South Salina Street. The day after Christmas, according to the statement made to police by her husband, Angela Allen left the apartment to go shopping. She never returned. A missing persons report wasn't filed until the noon hour of December 28. It was filed by Angela's mother, who, by that time, was very concerned about her daughter.

At the time, Allen was married to Hubert J. Allen, a man charged six years later in connection with the murders of a former girlfriend and their 6-year-old son. Allen was planning to leave her husband.

The girlfriend gave Syracuse police information several years after Allen's disappearance that implicated Hubert Allen in the death of his wife.

Police suspect Allen buried his wife's body either on the Onondaga Indian Nation, the Allied Chemical salt pits or in the northern part of the county, because those were areas they used to go to for dates.

Allen worked as an assistant manager and buyer at JC Penney's in Shoppingtown. Friends and fellow workers interviewed by police described the missing woman as friendly and dependable. She was devoted to her children.>>
 
In the aftermath of the case involving the murder of a missing Van Buren teen, the accused, who had pleaded guilty to murder, has died in prison. Officials confirmed that Lloyd Jones died of natural causes at the Tucker Unit in maximum security on Feb. 27.

Jones was sentenced to 60 years in prison following his guilty plea. Cecilia Reynolds, the mother of victim Angela Allen, expressed relief.

"She got justice, and now she can finally be able to rest in peace, knowing that her killer is behind bars for good," Reynolds said.
