The Mysterious Disappearance Of Two High School Students And Their Mother

Missing Persons Suzi Streeter And Stacy Mccall

This missing person case is particularly distressing, as it saw the disappearance of three young women. On June 7, 1992, 19-year-old Suzi Streeter, her 47-year-old mother Sherill Levitt, and her 18-year-old friend Stacy McCall all vanished from their Springfield, Missouri home.

Just the day before, Streeter and McCall celebrated their high school graduation, and those celebratory events were the last times anyone reported seeing the two students and the mother anywhere in Webster County.

“I expected her home that night, the next day, maybe a couple of days afterward,” recalled Janis McCall, Stacy’s mother, in 2017. “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.”

Though the Missouri State Highway Patrol, Springfield Police Department, and numerous other law enforcement agencies including the FBI conducted their own investigations, no promising leads into the missing persons case ever turned up. Even a 40-acre search across the county in 1993 yielded nothing.

However, a 1996 prison interview with murderer Robert Craig Sox garnered some hope. Sox claimed to have been in Springfield the day the three women disappeared, but no charges were ever levied against him.

Then, a few years later in 2002, two women called police to say that there were men at a Webster County concrete company who seemed suspicious. A subsequent search of the site turned up human remains. The bones, however, proved far too old to belong to any of the three women.

The next year, authorities found blood at a farm in Cassville. But, once again, lab testing dashed any hope of providing answers to the mysterious disappearances.

Sherill Levitt

The nearly three-decades-long mystery has yet to curb Stacy McCall’s mother’s determination to find her daughter. Unfortunately, the Springfield Police Department has long abandoned the case of the Springfield Three.

“Until I know a hundred percent that Stacy is deceased, I will never declare her dead,” said Janis McCall. “They’re going to have to find some remains somewhere before I call her legally dead. It’s not for any reason other than if I do and she’s not dead, think of how mad she’d be when she gets back.”
