DeAngelo's Hope
DeAngelo's Story
DeAngelo Allen was a 31-year-old man that went missing around September 21, 2022 from the 1000 block of Old Coldwater Rd. in Anniston, Alabama. DeAngelo's family organized searches and worked diligently to bring awareness to their plight to find DeAngelo and bring him home safely. With the help of organizations such as The Black and Missing Foundation and Aniah's Heart, DeAngelo's case gained media attention and garnered public support. Even though evidence pointed to a negative outcome, DeAngelo's family continued to search in vain for him for 8 months. On May 25, 2023, Keither Snider and her son, Gavin Snider were arrested and charged with the murder of DeAngelo. The Sniders are currently in jail, awaiting trial. DeAngelo's remains have not been recovered.
DeAngelo was a father to four children. He was very close to his siblings, and they loved each other dearly. He was a son that never missed the opportunity to tell his mother that he loved her. He was a creative spirit that enjoyed music. He was fiercely protective of those he loved, and many have been devastated by his absence. It is the hope of DeAngelo's family that no other family has to deal with the devastation of having a loved one to go missing and never return.
