On July 24, 1975, 73-year-old Mary Amelia Allen failed to show up at the dress shop she worked. Her supervisor called her daughter in law because she was worried. Her daughter in law went to Mary's Claymont, Deleware home, and found her body.
Mary's body was found in a pool of blood in her bedroom. She had been dragged from the bathroom to the bedroom causing her clothes to be ripped. She was stabbed around 20 times.
A neighbor last saw her around 8 the night before. She was attacked between then and 10 a.m. It's believed that she was attacked while getting ready for work. The house didn't look ransacked and robbery doesn't seem to have been motive.
