The Disappearance and Homicide of Daniel Joseph-Montgomery Allen



Daniel Joseph-Montgomery Allen vanished at the age of 21 in late 2012. The young man lived in Modesto, California at the time of his disappearance. Reports state that Daniel's family reported him missing in December 2012. He was never seen alive by his loved ones again.

Months later, in early March 2013, a family was walking across the Seventh Street Bridge over the Tuolumne River when they spotted a human body in the water. Police were called, and investigators determined that the deceased was a young male. Days later, the body was identified as that of Daniel Joseph-Montgomery Allen. 

Investigators determined that Daniel's body had been in the water for "at least a few weeks" before being found. It's unknown if investigators believe that he was already deceased at the time he was reported missing, or if they believe he was alive for a period of time after the fact. Information about the events leading up to his disappearance/death are also unknown. 

Shortly after Daniel was identified, it was reported that his death was being investigated as a homicide. Since then, though, news about the investigation has been minimal. Over a decade has passed since Daniel's death, and no persons of interest or suspects have ever been publicly identified. The case is considered cold. 

The Stanislaus County Sheriff's Office has investigative agency over Daniel's case. If you have any information that could help solve this homicide, please contact the sheriff's office at 209-525-7216 or submit a tip online.
