True Crime Sunday — The Springfield Three
June 7, 1992. Springfield, Missouri. Suzanne “Suzie” Streeter (19) and Stacy McCall (18) celebrated their high school graduation. After a night of parties, they returned to Suzie’s home at 1717 East Delmar Street, where her mother, Sherrill Levitt (47), lived.
By the next morning, all three women had vanished.
The scene was unsettling. Their cars were still parked in the driveway. Their purses were lined up neatly inside. Suzie’s ci******es were untouched. A broken porch light had been swept up. Nothing else looked disturbed.
Friends who came by to check the house found more strangeness. Two obscene calls rang through while they were there. The voices weren’t joking — they were deliberate, targeted.
Police pieced together theories: maybe someone followed the girls home from the graduation parties. Maybe an intruder waited inside the house. Or maybe the women were silently forced out into a car in the middle of the night.
Suspects surfaced. A convicted kidnapper named Robert Craig Cox hinted he knew where they were but never gave details. A tip years later suggested their bodies could be buried under a nearby parking garage, but concrete was poured before investigators could dig deeper.
More than 30 years later, there are still no arrests, no bodies, no answers. The case of the Springfield Three remains one of America’s most haunting cold cases — a night where three women stepped out of the light and were swallowed by the dark.
