The case of the Springfield Three is one of the most haunting and enduring unsolved missing persons cases in American history. On the night of June 6, 1992, in Springfield, Missouri, three women—47-year-old Sherrill Levitt, her 19-year-old daughter Suzie Streeter, and Suzie’s friend 18-year-old Stacy McCall—vanished without a trace from Sherrill’s home at 1717 East Delmar Street. The night before, Suzie and Stacy had just graduated from Kickapoo High School. After attending several parties, they returned to Suzie’s house around 2 a.m. intending to sleep over. The plan was to go swimming the next day and meet up with friends. The next morning, the house was eerily silent. Friends who arrived to pick up the girls found all three women's personal belongings inside—purses, cars, and even Suzie and Sherrill’s cigarettes were left untouched. The front porch light was broken, the glass swept up by someone, and the front door was unlocked. There were no signs of forced entry, no signs of struggle, and no clear evidence of what had happened. Over the years, multiple theories emerged, including abduction by someone they knew, a botched burglary, or even police cover-up, but none have been proven. A key figure, convicted kidnapper Robert Craig Cox, claimed to know what happened but refused to say more. Despite intense media coverage and thousands of leads, the Springfield Three remain missing, and the case continues to baffle investigators and haunt the city more than three decades later. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
