Herbert Allen was quite a character. In 2006, Herbert lived on East 340th Street in Cleveland, Ohio. He was divorced, retired, and enjoyed his weekly breakfast outing with friends at the Vasa Lodge.

Herbert, who usually went by Herb, was 78 years old in 2006. Since he was divorced and retired, he spent a lot of time alone, and most people described him as reclusive and quiet. Herb had some previous troubles in his life, but none of his friends were aware of anything- Herb was not the type of person to share these personal details with anyone.

Herb had seen a friend in Cleveland on November 23, 2006.

He would miss the next couple of weekly breakfast meetings with friends, and no one was quite sure what to think.

On December 12, Herb’s mini-van turned up in New Mexico, but Herb was nowhere to be found.

Herbert Allen was never seen or heard from again.

Where is Herbert Leroy Allen?

Herbert was born on September 8, 1928. Herb grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, and attended Collinwood High School, graduating in 1946.
