Who is Allan Gore?
Allan Gore is famously known as the ex-husband of elementary school teacher Betty Gore.
The two previously met back when Betty went to college in Kansas, where Allan worked as a teacher’s assistant, and later moved to Texas.
On the outside, their marriage seemed normal, but it was later revealed that it was filled with infidelity and boredom.
Despite this, both tried to make it work because they did not believe in divorce, according to The Cinemaholic.
Outside of being a part of the criminal case, not much information is available on Allan’s personal life.
What happened to Betty Gore?
In 1980, Betty Gore was brutally murdered by her friend Candace “Candy” Montgomery after she hit her 41 times with an ax, Newsweek reports.

At the time, Allan was out of town for work, and Candy had gone over to the Gore resident to pick up a swimsuit for their daughter, who was spending the night at Candy’s home.
After he did not hear from his wife, he became concerned and asked neighbors to check-in at the house.
Upon entry, the neighbors reportedly found Betty’s body and her 1-year-old daughter who had been left alone all day, according to Bustle.
Candy later confessed to murdering her but claimed that she acted in self-defense after Betty confronted her about the affair she had with her husband.

Allan was reportedly never a serious suspect in Betty’s murder and it was actually his confession of the affair that led police to Candy in the first place.
Candy was then charged with murder but was found not guilty in 1984 by a jury.
Betty’s story is now the subject of a new Hulu series titled Candy.
Where is Allan Gore now?
Shortly after Betty’s death, Allan quickly remarried and lost custody of his children to Betty’s parents.
Allan reportedly lost touch with his daughters but rekindled their relationship, later on, The Cinemaholic reports.
He then moved to Sarasota, Florida, after retiring and has maintained a low profile ever since.
