Terri Allen Went To Pick Up Her Clothes And Never Came Back...Alive.

Terri L. Allen

Terry was a bright girl with a bright smile and a kind personality. She was always wanting to learn. 

She attended East High School. She was hardworking as she was a cheerleader, 100-meter sprinter, was in the church choir, manager for the football team, a statistician for the basketball team. She was also worked at a hamburger joint. 

Around 5:45 p.m., on June 24th, 1983 16-year-old Terry left her home in Kansas City Missouri on the 26000 block of Park to pick up a load of clothes from the cleaners. It was supposed to have been a quick trip. When she didn't return later that night her mother worried and she called family and friends. She didn't return home that night and was never seen again.

The next morning her family and friends initiated a search for the girl. Unfortunately, around 9 a.m. and only mile from her home, they found her body. She was partially nude, in a bushy field near a radio tower on 22nd Street and Woodland Ave. She had been strangled to death.
