The Wrong Car

Secrets of a very public murder


In 1969, while riding through York, Pennsylvania with her family, Lillie Belle Allen was shot and murdered by a gang of youth before the watching eyes of police and many neighbors. 


The police to this day lie about the murder, saying no suspects or witnesses could be found. Long-suppressed police files, published for the first time in The Wrong Car, tell quite a different story.


The Wrong Car reveals for the first time the true, shocking story of Allen’s murder, compiled with the help of these  previously secret police reports. The Wrong Car documents a chilling story of ongoing police and court corruption in a small, working-class community.


The Wrong Car allows you to read the statements of eye-witnesses, follow the clues, and discover what happened to Lillie Belle Allen and her family.
