Angela Elaine Allen was 28 when she was last seen in Syracuse, New York, on December 26, 1979. That morning she spoke briefly with her mother by phone, saying she was too tired to talk and would call back. Later that day she was seen near her South Salina Street apartment, where she lived with her husband, Hubert James Allen, and their two children. She reportedly left to go shopping and never returned; her mother filed a missing person report two days later.

Suspicion has focused on her husband. Hubert James Allen was later convicted of murdering a girlfriend and her child in 1985, and a woman who was his girlfriend at the time of Angela’s disappearance provided information to police implicating him in Angela’s case. Angela’s body has never been found; investigators have considered areas the couple frequented, including the Onondaga Indian Nation territory and local salt pits, as possible locations for remains. No charges have been filed against Hubert in connection with Angela’s disappearance.

Does anyone have memories of Angela, the family’s South Salina Street neighborhood in 1979, or information about places the couple visited that could help the investigation?
