SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (KY3) - Tuesday marks 30 years since 3 Springfield women vanished.
You don’t have to say who ‘The Springfield Three’ is to know their names. Fliers and billboards were plastered all over the Ozarks for years.
Now three decades later, police tell us they are still actively investigating the case.
“It’s 1992, Springfield, Missouri, in the basically the heart of the bible belt,” said former Springfield Police Detective and current Bolivar Police Chief Mark Webb.
On June 7, 1992, 18-year-old Stacy McCall, her friend, 19-year-old Suzi Streeter, and Streeter’s mother, 47-year-old Sherill Levitt, were reported missing.
“It was a totally different world back then. It wasn’t all the phone tracking and the towers and all stuff we do now,” said Webb.
He was one of the first detectives assigned to the case.
He says it seemed as though the two teens made it to Levitt’s house on Delmar Street in the early morning hours of June 7 after attending a party to celebrate their high school graduation.
“I saw her graduate Saturday night, and now she’s gone,” said Janice McCall in 1992.
Inside the house, nothing seemed to be out of place. No personal items were missing. The women’s keys and purses were accounted for. Their cars were parked in the driveway.
The three women seemed to have vanished without a trace.
