On a summer evening in June 1992, 18-year-old Stacy McCall had just graduated from Kickapoo High School in Springfield, Missouri. To celebrate, she and her friend, 19-year-old Suzanne 'Suzie' Streeter, attended several graduation parties. Their initial plan was to stay at another friend's house, but due to it being crowded, they decided to go to Suzie's home at 1717 East Delmar Street, where she lived with her mother, 47-year-old Sherrill Levitt.
The two friends were last seen at approximately 2:15 a.m. on June 7, 1992, as they left the last party. Sherrill had been home that evening and was last heard from around 11:15 p.m. on June 6th when she spoke to a friend on the phone. Sometime between when the girls arrived at the house and the following morning, all three women vanished without a trace.
The next morning, friends became concerned when Stacy and Suzie didn't meet them as planned to go to a water park. When they went to the house on East Delmar Street to check on them, they found the front door unlocked. Inside, the television was still on, and all of the women's personal belongings, including their purses, money, clothing, cars, and keys, were left behind. The only things out of place were a broken porch light globe and a message on the answering machine that was unfortunately erased before police could hear it. The family dog was also found inside, seemingly anxious. There were no signs of a struggle, yet the circumstances strongly suggested an abduction.
The disappearance of Stacy McCall, Suzie Streeter, and Sherrill Levitt, often referred to as 'The Springfield Three,' launched an extensive investigation involving local police, the FBI, and numerous other law enforcement agencies. Despite thousands of tips over the years, no significant breakthroughs have been made in the case. A convicted kidnapper and robber, Robert Craig Cox, claimed in 1997 that he knew the women were murdered and that their bodies would never be found, but investigators have not found his claims to be credible. The families of the missing women, particularly Stacy McCall's parents, have remained dedicated to finding answers, co-founding a nonprofit to help families of missing persons. The case remains one of the most baffling unsolved mysteries in American history, leaving a community and three families with unanswered questions and enduring grief.Last Seen: Jun 6, 1992
