Rebecca Allen

**Rebecca Allen** was a resident of Gallows Creek and one of the Whistling Man's four suspected "Class of ‘69" targets. She serves as a minor character in *Killer Frequency*.

## History

Rebecca was born around 1950 and attended Gallows Creek High School. On September 2nd, 1968, she presumably went to that year's high school football team's party, where she, like the majority of guests, would have ran away after someone dressed as the infamous Whistling Man crashed the scene and appeared to stab player Jason Parker, unaware that it was an ill-spirited prank by members of the team, led by Teddy Gallows Jr..

In her final senior year, Rebecca was part of the car club and graduated in 1969, along with Keith Walker, Marie Campbell, Stanley King, Kim Walker, Ant Williams, Billy Price, and Chuck Brody. By 1970, Rebecca had joined a local crime syndicate that specialized in car theft. Despite Sheriff Matthews' public call for vigilance to help catch the thieves, the sheriff's office was unable to fulfill its promise of stopping the gang within the year, with their activities continuing for seven more years. At some point, however, Rebecca agreed to become an inside informant in exchange for total immunity and on July 19th, 1977, the car theft syndicate was dissolved after its 24 other members were arrested, Rebecca, credited as "R.A.", being acknowledged as an immense help to authorities. She went on to publish a crime memoir entitled "Diary of a Car Thief", with local reviewer Jim Randy unfavorably describing the author as first stealing the cars of Gallows Creek's citizens, then stealing their time and money with her book. It continued to be sold in town as late as November 3rd, 1986, with the Gallows Reporter including a cut-out coupon for 2$ off.

On March 22nd, 1986, Rebecca put her trailer home on lot 101 at 63 Maccready Street up for sale, at the price of $10,000 through real estate agent Tyler Wallace. Charmingly, instead of writing a description of the property, Rebecca simply vented about being harrassed by neighbors for her illicit activities in the past, telling victims of her car thefts to just "buy a new one", and that she wants to get as far away from the vengeful community as she can. On 10th February, 1987, Rebecca finally sold her trailer and moved to the east coast in Manhattan, New York City, for a new life.

At some point, Clive Elforth concluded that a wave of murders leading to the midwestern U.S. was related to the death of George Barrow in Gallows Creek, with Rebecca, Kim, Ant, and Chuck being likely victims in the future. He collected several pieces of media related to them, including their high school year book page, Sheriff Matthews' statement on Rebecca's syndicate's car thefts, the Gallows Reporter article on their disbandment through her assistance, Rebecca's ad for her trailer and the Gallows Reporter article on her move to New York. Clive still left a note with the trailer park location, apparently having not realized that Rebecca relocated seven months ago.

On September 3rd, 1987, at around 2:40 a.m., Forrest Nash found the board in Clive's office and realizing that it's related to the Whistling Man attacks, he tries to determine which of the possible targets the killer will go after next. It is not Rebecca, as she doesn't live in Gallows Creek anymore.

## Trivia

* Like with Ant Williams, it is unknown whether Marie was actually planning to kill Rebecca at some point or not, since it is uncertain if she was even at the party in 1968.
* Her book about car theft is likely a reference to Stephen King's horror novel *Misery*, wherein Paul Sheldon is said to have authored an unpublished work titled "Fast Cars" about the same topic.
* The title of the 1987 newspaper, "LOCAL LEGEND TAKES TO MANHATTAN", is likely a reference to *Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan*.
