The case of the Springfield Three remains a chilling enigma, especially for those who remember the summer of 1992 when Suzie Streeter, along with her mother Sherill Levitt, and friend Stacy McCall, vanished without a trace. June 7th, 2024, marks 32 years since their disappearance from a Springfield, Missouri home, a grim anniversary that underscores the enduring questions surrounding this high-profile cold case. For those following true crime stories, the name Suzie Streeter is synonymous with unanswered questions and a community’s long-held grief.
The day before their disappearance was one of celebration: Stacy McCall and Suzie Streeter’s high school graduation. Following graduation ceremonies and parties, Stacy and Suzie were at Suzie’s mother’s home at 1717 E Delmar Street. This marked the last known sighting of Sherill Levitt, 47, Suzie Streeter, 19, and Stacy McCall, 18. The lack of any subsequent contact has deepened the anguish for their families and the Springfield community.
Janis McCall, Stacy’s mother, poignantly captured the ongoing nightmare in a 2017 interview: “I expected her home that night, the next day, maybe a couple of days afterward. Never in my wildest imagination did I ever think that it would be 25 years later, and I would be saying Stacy is still missing.” Her words resonate with the continued pain and uncertainty that define the Suzie Streeter case and the fate of the other two women.
Despite thousands of leads pursued over nearly three decades, the Springfield Police Department, with assistance from agencies like the FBI and Missouri State Highway Patrol, have not been able to definitively determine what happened to Sherill Levitt, Suzie Streeter, and Stacy McCall. The details of their last known hours paint a perplexing picture.
Authorities state that on June 7, 1992, the front door of Sherill Levitt’s home was found open. Inside, the family dog was present, and personal items including money, clothing, cars, and keys were left behind. Notably, there were no clear indications of a struggle within the residence, adding to the baffling nature of Suzie Streeter’s disappearance and that of the other women.
The search that ensued was extensive and community-wide. Friends, neighbors, and volunteers joined law enforcement in scouring areas around Springfield, extending to Lake Springfield, Forsyth, Joplin, and Stockton. Flyers and posters featuring the faces of Sherill, Suzie, and Stacy became ubiquitous in Springfield, a constant reminder of the missing women. Even now, some of these faded images can still be seen, a testament to the case’s lasting impact.
The Springfield Police Department has diligently investigated every angle, delving into the lives of Sherill Levitt, Suzie Streeter, and Stacy McCall. Yet, conclusive leads explaining their disappearance or pinpointing their current location remain elusive. While fresh leads have become scarce in recent years, the determination to find answers in the case of Suzie Streeter and the Springfield Three has not diminished.
