George Allen, Jr.
George Allen Jr. happened to be one of those people who was in the wrong place at the wrong time. On February 4, 1982, Mary Bell was a 31-year old woman who had been found dead in her apartment, raped and stabbed to death. Their initial suspect, a convicted rapist who had just gotten out of jail who also happened to live in the same apartment complex as Bell, Kirk Eaton, had gone missing after Bell’s body was discovered. George Allen Jr., a diagnosed schizophrenic, had been walking near the area on March 14, as he lived around 10 blocks away from where Bell lived. Police officers took him in for questioning since he resembled Eaton, and strangely, he had admitted to forcing women to have sex with him, but then later on denied ever saying that. It was also noted that he was intoxicated at the time of the interrogation.
