SPRINGFIELD, Missouri — Just hours after celebrating their high school graduation, two young women went home to spend the night with a friend.

By the following morning, they were gone.

So was the friend’s mother.

There was no confirmed goodbye. No known plan to leave town. No clear sign of a struggle. Their cars remained at the house. Their personal belongings were left behind.

And despite one of the largest searches in the history of the region, Sherrill Levitt, Suzanne “Suzie” Streeter and Stacy McCall have never been found.

More than three decades later, the case known as “The Springfield Three” remains one of Missouri’s most haunting unsolved disappearances.

The Springfield Police Department still considers the investigation active, while the FBI continues to list the three women as missing persons.

It began as a night of celebration
The disappearance happened in the early morning hours of June 7, 1992, in Springfield, Missouri.

The previous evening had been a happy one.

Suzanne Streeter, 19, and her friend Stacy McCall, 18, had just celebrated their high school graduation. Like many teenagers marking the end of high school, they spent the night attending graduation parties.

Eventually, the two young women went to Streeter’s home on East Delmar Street.

Living there was Suzanne’s mother, 47-year-old Sherrill Levitt.

That was the last known location of all three women.

According to the FBI, they disappeared sometime between approximately 2:15 a.m. and 7:30 a.m. on June 7.

What happened during those few hours remains the central mystery.

Three people disappeared — but the house remained
When the women were reported missing, investigators encountered a scene that seemed strangely ordinary.

Their cars were still there.

Their purses and keys were reportedly left behind.

Clothing and other personal belongings remained at the house.

Even the family dog was still there.

There was also no apparent evidence of a violent struggle inside the home, according to investigators and subsequent reporting.

That combination immediately raised questions.

If the three women had simply decided to leave, why did they leave behind so many possessions?

If they had been taken against their will, how could someone remove three people from the house without leaving obvious evidence?

And perhaps most importantly — who could have convinced or forced all three women to leave?

Those questions have remained unanswered for more than 30 years.

The morning everything changed
Stacy McCall had plans for the following day.

Friends and family expected the two teenagers to continue celebrating after graduation.

Instead, the plans never happened.

As the hours passed without hearing from the women, concern grew.

Eventually, authorities were contacted.

What initially appeared to be a missing-person investigation quickly became one of the biggest mysteries Springfield had ever seen.

Police began searching for the three women and attempting to reconstruct their movements during the final hours they were known to be together.

The investigation soon expanded far beyond the neighborhood.

A massive search produced no answers
Law enforcement agencies and members of the public conducted extensive searches across the region.

Investigators examined rural areas, farmland, lakes and other locations where the women might have been taken.

The case eventually attracted national attention.

Authorities received enormous numbers of tips, ranging from potentially useful information to bizarre claims and rumors.

Some leads sent investigators searching for possible burial sites.

Others focused on suspicious vehicles reportedly seen around Springfield around the time of the disappearance.

But none produced the breakthrough investigators desperately needed.

The women remained missing.

The mysterious green van
One of the recurring elements in the investigation was a green van reportedly seen in connection with the case.

Over the years, investigators received information about vehicles that witnesses believed might have been connected to the women’s disappearance.

One later search in Missouri involved a location where witnesses reported seeing men associated with a green van.

Cadaver dogs alerted investigators to several areas, and bones were recovered.

But testing determined that the remains were far too old to belong to the missing women.

The discovery generated hope that investigators might finally have found something significant.

Instead, it became another dead end.

Another search uncovered possible evidence
In 2003, investigators followed another tip to farmland south of Cassville, Missouri.

Heavy equipment was reportedly used to excavate portions of the property.

Investigators recovered what appeared to include possible blood evidence and a section of a green vehicle.

The possible blood evidence was sent for specialized testing.

The results, however, were inconclusive.

Once again, investigators were left with questions rather than answers.

The theories never stopped
As years became decades, theories about what happened multiplied.

Some people believed the women were abducted.

Others suspected someone they knew may have been involved.

There were theories involving suspicious vehicles, possible burial sites and individuals who came under scrutiny during the investigation.

But none of those theories has been proven to explain what happened to Levitt, Streeter and McCall.

That distinction is important.

The Springfield Three case has generated countless theories over the years, but investigators have never publicly established a definitive account of how the women disappeared or where they went.

Even the strangest tips were investigated
The sheer volume of tips made the investigation extraordinarily difficult.

Former Springfield police investigator Mark Webb later recalled receiving thousands of pieces of information.

Some were credible enough to investigate.

Others were bizarre.

Investigators followed leads involving possible burial sites, suspicious vehicles and alleged sightings.

At one point, authorities even received an anonymous message claiming that a letter containing clues about the women’s whereabouts had been hidden inside a newspaper stand.

Investigators checked it.

Like so many other leads, it did not solve the case.

The years passed, but the case never disappeared
For the families, the passage of time did not bring closure.

The photographs of the three women remained frozen in 1992 — a 47-year-old mother and two teenagers who had been looking forward to life after high school.

Stacy’s mother, Janis McCall, became one of the most visible voices keeping attention on the case.

For decades, she continued to hope that her daughter would eventually be found.

Memorials have been held in Springfield, while photographs and missing-person posters have remained reminders of a case that refuses to disappear from public memory.

34 years later, the mystery remains
As of 2026, the three women are still missing.

The FBI’s ViCAP alert identifies them by name and confirms that they were last seen on June 7, 1992.

Sherrill Levitt was 47.

Suzanne Streeter was 19.

Stacy McCall was 18.

None of the three has been located.

The Springfield Police Department continues to describe the investigation as active and has continued to appeal for information that could finally explain what happened.

A recent KY3 investigation marking the 34th anniversary of the disappearance also confirmed that the three women remain missing and that authorities continue to consider the case active.

The question that still haunts Springfield
Perhaps the most disturbing part of The Springfield Three is not what investigators know.

It is what they don’t know.

Three women were together in one house.

By morning, all three were gone.

Their vehicles remained behind.

Their belongings remained behind.

The family dog remained behind.

Yet the women themselves vanished.

For 34 years, investigators, relatives and members of the public have searched for an explanation.

There have been thousands of tips, extensive searches, possible clues and countless theories.

But no confirmed answer.

No bodies.

No definitive timeline.

And no explanation for how three people could disappear from a home in the middle of the night without leaving behind enough evidence to reveal where they went.

The Springfield Three remain missing — and one of America’s most enduring missing-person mysteries remains unsolved.
