The Springfield Three is a missing person case that occurred on June 7, 1992 when Sherrill Levitt, Suzie Streeter, and Stacy McCall went missing from 1717 E. Delmar St, Springfield, Missouri. They or their remains have never been discovered.
Stacy McCall and Suzanne Streeter had just graduated from Kickapoo High School and on June 6, 1992 celebrating at a grad party. They were last seen early morning on June the 7th as they left the party. The pair planned to spend the night at Suzanne Streeter's house with her mother, Sherrill Levitt, 47, in a modest house in central Springfield. Sherrill, an in-demand hairdresser at a local salon, was a single mother and especially close to her only daughter. It appeared that they arrived at the residence because their clothing, jewellery, purses, and vehicles were still at this location.
The parents of Stacy McCall, one of the missing women, contacted the police in reference to their daughter's disappearance from the home of Sherrill Levitt and Suzanne Streeter, the other two missing women. Other friends and family began calling and visited the house during the day. The police later admitted that the crime scene had possibly been tainted by the twenty or so loved ones who visited Sherrill's house. Upon officers arrival, the house bore no signs of a struggle, except for a smashed porch light had been shattered which was unintentionally cleaned up by well meaning friends of the missing. Springfield police now believe that the broken glass from the porch light might have given some hint of what transpired that night. All personal property was left behind including, purses, money, cars, keys, cigarettes, and the family dog.
Suzanne's mother, Sherrill Levitt, was last heard from at approximately 11:15 p.m. on June 6, 1992 when she talked with a friend about painting a chest of drawers. Levitt's car, and personal belongings were at the residence and it appeared as though her bed had been slept in when friends and police arrived to check the residence...
Robert Craig Cox told journalists that he knew the women had been murdered and buried and claimed their bodies would never be recovered. Cox, a convicted robber told investigators that he was staying the night with his girlfriend in the Springfield area the night the women disappeared, but later told investigators that he stayed at the home of his parents who confirmed his alibi. Authorities are uncertain if Cox was involved in the case or if he is seeking attention by issuing false statements...
