George Allen enters Blueberry Hill resturant in University City, Missouri on November 14, 2012, for a bite, hours after being released from state prison. Allen 56, has spent the last 30 years in prison for the 1982 rape and murder of Mary Bell, whose body was found inside her St. Louis home in 1982. At the time of the crime, DNA testing was not available. Allen was picked up by police because he looked like another suspect they wanted to talk to. After questioning by detectives, he confessed. There was no physical evidence like fingerprints presented to the jury that linked Allen to the crime. UPI/Bill Greenblatt
