A case that will be featured in Season 2 of TNT's Cold Justice has already produced an arrest warrant in the unsolved disappearance and homicide of 27 year old Tracy Lynn Allen. Tracy was 27 years old when she vanished in May of 2001. She left her 3 and 6 year old daughters with a neighbor who was babysitting for her, went out one evening and never returned. Instead, ex husband Garfield Allen picked up the kids from the neighbor and dropped them off at his mother's house. He told his mother Tracy ran off with another man.
Tracy and Garfield divorced in 2000 and were known to be having custody issues prior to her disappearance. I suspect the Altus police department suspected Garfield way back when, but lacked sufficient evidence to take action against him. Tracy's remains have never been found. The Cold Justice team agreed to take a look into this case, and in late November an arrest warrant had been issued for Garfield Allen for second degree murder. When authorities traveled to Hillsboro to arrest him, he went on the run. To my knowledge he is still wanted and on the run.
Just a little preview of the effect the attention of Cold Justice can have on a cold case. This case is listed as the first one on their Season 2 episode guide, not a bad beginning for their second year.
