41 Years Later, Whatever Happened to Georgia Allen?
Was She Murdered? Is Her Killer Dead?
By Marie Beth Jones
It has been almost 41 years since
24-year-old Georgia Margurite (Smith)
Allen disappeared from her Lake Jackson apartment.
Georgia Margurit Allen
Although deputies of the Brazoria
County Sheriff’s Office they hold little
hope she is still alive, they continue
their efforts to find answers to what happened to her in the early morning hours
of August 6, 1972.
“We want to find her and return her
to her family so she can have a Christian burial,” said Nick Villalona, the
criminal investigator assigned to the
case when we first published this story
in 2009.
A tiny woman – five feet, two inches tall, weighing just 88 to 90 pounds
– Georgia had bleached blond hair and
hazel eyes.
On Saturday night, the night before
she went missing, she worked as a barmaid at the Holiday Inn in Lake Jackson
, Texas and was last seen in the hotel
parking lot in the pre-dawn hours of
Sunday morning.
Investigators – and there have been
several of them through the years, including H.L. Cotton, LoRene Blackburn, and Matt Wingo, among others
– filed extensive reports about what happened just before Georgia disappeared.
Those reports indicate that Georgia;
her estranged husband, David Allen;
and her friend, Charles Corsentina, had
been in the parking lot outside the inn
for about two hours.
Both of the men told officers that Da-
vid told Georgia to make up her mind
whether she was leaving with him or
with Charles, at which time she replied,
“neither one,” that she would walk
home.
She asked David for his key to her
apartment then she set out walking. David said when he went there later that
day, she was gone. No one has admitted
to seeing her after she left the parking
lot.
The apartment manager told officers
she thought Georgia and her two children – who were with David’s grandparents that night – were living there alone.
She had seen David three days earlier
when he brought in her check for the
rent – and then later picked it up when
it bounced.
Georgia had filed for divorce on June
5, 1972, but David said they got back
together for about two weeks and everything was going well, but when he went
to pick her up at work that night she and
Corsentina were together in the parking
lot.
About 9:40 that morning, he said, he
went to Georgia ‘s apartment but she
didn’t answer the door. The manager let
him in and he found his keys.
Georgia had at about $200 in cash and
several passes for Metro Airlines, which
she used to fly from Lake Jackson to
Houston and back.
Asked if he would take a polygraph
examination, David flatly refused.
In the days that followed there was
no activity in Georgia ‘s bank account
and no indication that – if she had taken
the shuttle flight to Houston – she had
bought an airline ticket there.
Georgia ‘s father, who filed the missing person report on August 18th, told
deputies he had recently learned that
David had threatened Georgia with a
pistol and had fired one shot to prove it
was loaded.
The missing person investigation was
closed on August 11, 1972, when investigators learned that Georgia had apparently left the Lake Jackson airport on
Metro Airlines, using a free Holiday Inn
pass, but she didn’t tell anyone, and a
month later when her photo was shown
to passengers aboard that August flight,
none of them could identify her. A short
time later, officers “definitely established” that the person named “Allen”
on the passenger list for the Metro flight

from Lake Jackson was not Georgia . It
was a 14-year-old girl who was put on
the flight by her grandmother.
Georgia ‘s mother and stepfather, Lila
and Marshall Hopkins of Huffman ,
Texas drove to Brazoria County to see
what they could find out About the same
time Sheriff’s I.D. Officer T.O. Bock
was checking Georgia ‘s apartment and
despite a painstaking search, he found
nothing that indicated foul play. Questions posed to people in neighboring
apartments revealed little of value.
On September 27th, David’s sister,
who was a close friend of Georgia ,
told officers that David would “rather lie than tell the truth.” She also reported that Georgia had told her David
had threatened her with a gun, and that
she would not go back to him because
she was afraid he would kill her. Then,
the day after that, Georgia went back to
him, David’s sister said, adding that he
had been in trouble several times, but
his folks had “bought him out.”
Another friend verified that Georgia
also told her David threatened her with
a gun and almost choked her to death.
This woman described Georgia as “a
good mother” and said she “would not
have left her kids.”
His sister told them that on one occasion when he was discussing Georgia ‘s
disappearance with other family members, he said that if he had wanted to
kill her, he would have taken her out in
the Gulf and thrown her overboard. As
investigators continued to question David and to check into his activities, they
learned he had purchased a boat in June
of 1972, two months before she disappeared.
In another interview with authorities,
David told them he was not worried
about Georgia , saying she was upset
because she was two months pregnant
and didn’t know if he or Corsentina
was the baby’s father. Asked again if he
would take a polygraph, David refused,
saying the request was insulting.
An interview with Corsentina followed. He told them he started going
with Georgia in May of 1972. She was
then planning to file for divorce from
David, who had gone to East Texas
following the gun threats. According
to Corsentina’s statement, David came
back to Brazoria County about July 28
and Georgia called to say she was going back to David. He saw her that night
at the Holiday Inn, and took her home
from work, he said.
“She told me … she loved me and
wanted to stay with me,” Charles said,
adding that she told him “many times
about David beating her” and threatening to kill her if she ever went with
anyone else. Charles said he was with
her on the nights of July 28-31. She was
off work for the first three days in August, and she and David moved things
into her apartment and took their kids to
Astroworld.
Charles was with her again on the
night of August 4th and took her home
about 3:30 in the morning. At the club
on the night of August 5th she told him
David had been waiting up for her that
morning and had followed them to
Charles’ beach house. She said David
threatened to kill her if she left him.
Charles also told investigators that
when David came to pick Georgia up
after work on August 6th she didn’t
want to leave with him. “She wanted
me to stay and go outside with her,” he
said. She told him “she didn’t want to be
alone with David and didn’t want him
coming to her apartment.” According
to Charles’ statement, Georgia “begged
David to let her go” but David “was
calm, and just kept saying, ‘I told you
what I’d do,’ or ‘remember what I told
you.’” At that point Charles said, Georgia told them she wanted to be by herself and asked David for his key. When
he gave it to her she set out walking to
her apartment.
Charles said he went to work the next
morning and when he got off at five
o’clock he went to the Holiday Inn. Finding that Georgia wasn’t there, he went to
her apartment and knocked on the door,
but no one answered. He said the door
was closed but wasn’t “caught,” so he
went inside, and found David asleep on
the mattress with no linens. David told
him he didn’t know where Georgia was,
and said he had come in at 9:30 that
morning and was let in by the landlady.
Charles saw the clothes Georgia had
worn the night before piled on the floor
as though she had just undressed and
left them where they fell. He said he
couldn’t tell if any of her things were
missing.
“It just looked like she had left with
her purse,” he said.
He told deputies that Georgia was
“very afraid” of David and seemed to
want to be away from him, but when he
came back she said she would have to
stay with David, that “he just wouldn’t
let her go.”
Despite David’s claims that Georgia
was considering an abortion, he said
Georgia had talked to him “as if she
really wanted this baby and she knew
that it was mine. We were planning to
get married, and we wanted the baby. I
don’t believe Georgia ever considered
an abortion.”
Charles said he was convinced that
“if Georgia was alive she would contact
me. She knows how to get me night or
day and I just know that she would let

City, the Galveston County “ENFORCERS” a team made up of several law enforcement agencies within Galveston/
Harris County and players from as far
away as Memphis, Tennessee entered
both the Men’s Open and the Men’s 35
and Up tournaments.
“This is the Enforcers seventh year
playing in the Texas Police Games,”

Richard Ferrino III, a Sergeant with the
Galveston County Sheriff’s Office. In
2007, the Police Games were held in
the Houston/Galveston area, and Ferrino decided to get a team together from
within Galveston County , made up of
law enforcement and correction officers
and firefighters.
ers placed third in the Men’s 35 & Up
Tournament, and finally won a medal on
their third attempt.
June 12th and 13th was the Men’s Open
tournament and they placed second.
From 2007 through 2013, The Enforcers have played in seven state tournaments and have earned a medal in five of
them; taking second place three times,
third place two times, and finished
fourth in 2010.
The Enforcers have traveled all over

Dallas and Conroe.
“As much as I hate to say it,” Ferrino said, “we were in the championship
game three times, twice undefeated only
to lose two in a row to take second place.
“That still kind of stings, because we
were so close to being state champs and
the best law enforcement softball team
in Texas , but I have to say we have put

Double Murder
On January 21,
2001 the bodies
of Texas Tech
assistant dean of
libraries Douglas
Birdsall, a 53year old white
man, and Viola
Ross, an 18-year
Vaughn Ross

calls from the previous day; they found
two blood pools, shards of auto glass
and a spent shell casing in the alley behind Vaughn Ross’ house. The evidence
there matched evidence recovered from
Birdsall’s car. Prosecutors indicated
the motive was jealousy involving
Vaughn Ross, a 29-year old black man,
his girlfriend Liza Ross McVade and
her former boyfriend Clarence Garner.
Viola Ross, who was also McVade’s
sister, called Ross’ home several times
in the hours before the shooting to speak
with her sister. She put Garner on the
phone with McVade at least once.
Vaughn Ross is schedule to die by
lethal injection in Huntsville, Texas on
July 18, 2013.

Almost 41 years later, Georgia is still
missing. David Allen died of a heart
condition in 1996. Many of the witnesses in the case are in ill health or dead.
No one is expecting that Georgia Allen will suddenly appear, alive and well,
but BCSO officers are unwilling to forget that she is still missing.

Hearing Impaired Driver
One day a certain lady was driving on the Highway. She frequently
checked her speed gauge to make
sure she stayed within the speed
limit. However, when she looked
into her rear mirror, much to her
dismay, she saw a police car not
far behind! And, to make matters
worse, the police car turned on his
flashing lights. She thought to herself, “Uh-oh, what have I done now?
I’m not speeding. I’m not drinking.
I have my seat belt on! I have kept
my license current and everything!”
So, she pulled over and the police car pulled over to the side right
behind her car. She drove her car
slowly to a stop, slowly rolled down
the window, and prepared for a
ticket when she knew she didn’t deserve it. A policeman walked up to
her window, and spoke to her. The
lady pointed to her ear and shook
her head, meaning she was deaf.
The policeman smiled slightly, and
knowing sign language, signed
back, “I know. I’m here to tell you
that your horn is stuck.”
