Clarence Ray Allen

Clarence Ray Allen

By the 1970s, Clarence Ray Allen had built a pretty good life for himself. He had a thriving business, a loving wife, children, and grandchildren. But, for some reason, that was not enough for Clarence and he started a criminal enterprise that was described as a gang of misfits. He began masterminding armed robberies but constantly told his crew that he would kill anyone who crossed him. And he carried out that threat when he proclaimed that his son's girlfriend, Mary Sue Kitts, was a snitch.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss Clarence Ray Allen. Allen was convicted of the murder of Mary Sue Kitts. But, he was angling for a retrial and he thought that his best course of action was to kill the people who could testify against him at his retrial. To do this, he enlisted his son and a hitman who had been in prison with him. Clarence Ray Allen lived a double life. To some, he was a kind man known for going above and beyond for his family, friends, and employees. Others knew him as an organized crime leader who would kill anyone who snitched on him. Clarence Allen had enough influence over his accomplices to order the murder of a teenage girl and arrange several murders from prison.
