In the early morning hours of June 7, 1992, the quiet town of Springfield Missouri became home to one of the most baffling mysteries in American history. Sometime between 3 and 7am, 47-year-old Sherrill Levitt, her 19-year-old daughter Suzie Streeter, and Suzie’s friend 18-year-old Stacy McCall disappeared without a trace from Levitt’s home on Delmar Street.
There were no signs of forced entry or a struggle, the beds appeared to have been slept in, and none of the neighbors remembering seeing or hearing anything out of the ordinary. Even to seasoned investigators, it seemed as though the women had simply vanished into thin air.
For more than 30 years, police and amateur sleuths alike have worked to solve the disappearance of the Springfield Three. Yet, we seem no closer to finding the missing women than on the day they vanished.
