Suzie Streeter, Sherrill Levitt and Stacy McCall have never been found
June 6, 1992, was a joyous moment in Stacy McCall’s life. That day, the 18-year-old graduated from Kickapoo High School in Springfield, Missouri, before going to parties that evening.
Before she left home for the night, she told her mom she was running late and would call her later, when she knew her exact plan.
“We both said, ‘I love you,'” her mom, Janis McCall, tells PEOPLE in this week’s issue.
That exchange, more than 27 years ago, marked the last time Janis ever saw her daughter.
After a night out, Stacy and her friend Suzie Streeter, 19, went back to the home Suzie shared with her mother, Sherrill Levitt, 47.
The next morning, Suzie and Stacy had plans to go to a water park with other friends. But the friends never heard from them, and after Janis couldn’t reach her daughter, she drove to Suzie and Sherill’s home hoping to find her.
Stacy’s car was parked outside, but no one answered the door. After opening the unlocked door, she walked into an empty house. The television was on and the three women’s purses sat lined up, opened on the floor. Stacy’s clothes from the night before were folded neatly in a bedroom.
