The Murder Of Paula Allen [True Crime Documentary]
Firefighters were called to the double-wide trailer on March 22, 2011, and discovered Paula Allen trapped inside. She died of smoke inhalation and thermal burns, according to autopsy records. The fire was ignited by David Allen, 49, according to the inquiry.
The Coryell County Sheriff's Department claimed it was not an accident. According to Allen's indictment, the grand jury charged him with capitol murder, alleging that he set fire to his home while his wife was inside sleeping. In 2012, a Grand Jury indicted David Allen.
Following the indictment, he pleaded guilty to capital murder and is now serving a 30-year sentence in a state prison in Huntsville.
