Missouri - The Springfield Three--missing since June 1992 - #15

[tlcya]

Sherrill Levitt was born on November 1, 1944, and was age 47 at time of her disappearance. She was 5 feet 0 inches (1.52 m), 110 pounds (50 kg), with short light blonde hair, brown eyes and pierced ears. She was a cosmetologist at a local salon and a single mother, and was described as being very close to her daughter, Suzanne Elizabeth "Suzie" Streeter. Streeter was born on March 9, 1973 (age 19 in 1992), was 5 feet 5 inches (1.65 m), 102 pounds (46 kg), with shoulder length blonde hair and brown eyes. Her distinguishable marks included a scar on her upper right forearm, a small mole on the left corner of her mouth, and pierced ears (left ear pierced twice). Streeter's friend, Stacy McCall, was born on April 23, 1974 (age 18 in 1992), was 5 feet 3 inches (1.60 m) and 120 pounds (54 kg), with long dark blonde hair and light colored eyes.[1]

The Springfield Three - Wikipedia

On Tuesday, fresh flowers rest near by a memorial to the two teens and mother. Like those fresh flowers Stacy McCall's mother tells KSPR she feels fresh leads, technology and investigators can still bring her daughter and the other two women home.

"I look at Stacy and I think she's not 18, she's 38. It's heartbreaking," McCall said in an interview with us on the twenty year anniversary. "Twenty birthdays and twenty Thanksgivings and Christmases and so many times that we sit around the table wanting her nearby."

(...)

Chief Webb offers this advice to any law enforcement who finds the mystery in their hands: "Never give up. You have to go to work on this and treat any piece of information like it's the glue we've been waiting for to crack this case open."

Janis McCall asks people who speculate to stick to the facts and stay away from so many rumors she feels have sensationalized the case.The reward fund for prosecution of those responsible now sits at 42 thousand dollars.

New eyes could eventually solve case of Springfield's 3 missing women

Admin note: During the period the posts in #2 and #3 were being made, Websleuths rules were different, links are no longer good and much of the discusssion that took place at that time has since been disproved as not connected or incorrect. For that reason, Threads #2 and #3 will remain unavailable.

Sometimes, a colder case needs fresh eyes. Eyes that will start with nothing and examine every available resource to come up with a theory. This is one of those cases. What was done was done. Some was very helpful and bears continued scrutiny. Some has already been put to bed and left behind. Consider Threads #2 and #3 to be the latter. Thank you to all who examine the facts of this case and provide your thoughts. These women still wait for justice. Their family members still await closure.

Suzie seems like the obvious target to me and looking at Sherrills friends speak glowingly about what a lovely person she was so I don’t picture her hanging around with the wrong crowd.

Now this could of simply been a rapist or a burglar but then it’s mighty strange that Suzie and Stacey didn’t make it home until 3am- ish and they managed to get changed and into bed for then whatever happened went down.


The timing points to Suzie again IMO

SPD identified & flew to FL in early 1993 to interview the caller, as reported in the NL. The area code of the caller was released so if you dig you can find it. Work the family trees of suspects to find who was living in that part of FL. And keep in mind throughout your research of this case that blood is thicker than water, & that in-laws are not blood. Separate the wheat from the chaff.

This is what I've gathered from the N-L articles posted by @Seeker994 :

7:30 PM Stacy arrives at Kirby house (NL June 19). Nigel delivers cake to Suzie's.

8:00 PM Suzie arrives at Kirby house (NL June 19)

8:30 PM Party @ Joy house. The girls reportedly ask Brian if they can stay the night there. (NL June 19)

10 – 10:30 PM Suzie and Stacy reported seen at the A-Mart with another female (Janelle?). Stacy was with a man. Clerk Steve Thompson “vaguely” remembers the girls talking about meeting up later that night (NL June 19). Janelle claims they were all together the whole night (NL June 20, 21).

10:30 PM Stacy calls her mother (from the Kirby house?)

11:30 PM The girls go to the Elder party (on Hanover). (one mile from the A-Mart) (NL June 19)

2:00 AM Back to Party #1 (girls get a ride from Shane Appleby in a jeep). Joy declines invite and Janelle offers to let them stay with her. (NL June 19)

2:15 AM A woman resembling Sherrill asks A-Mart clerk Steve Thompson about Suzanne Streeter by name, and 2 other friends. (NL June 18, 19)

2:20 AM Suzie and Stacy leave the Kirby house in their own vehicles to go to Suzie's house. (NL June 19).

--------------------------------------------------------

Any corrections greatly appreciated.

I could not find if it was reported from where Stacy called her mom. 10 - 10:30 PM is the attributed time. I would trust Mrs. McCall on this one.
Possibly she did not want her mom knowing she would stay the night at a boy's house, and used Janelle instead.

It wasn't until later, around 2, when they got back to the Joy house, after the Elder party, that the girls found out that they couldn't stay there.

When did they decide not to go to Branson that night, and why?
It would seem that decision was made early, between 8 and 10 PM or so, when they asked Brian Joy if they could stay at his house, and when Stacy called her mom to let her know they would not be going to Branson that night.
Unless, of course, the NL got their times wrong...

I read that Suzie arrived at Janelle's house first at 8:15 PM and Stacy arrived at 8:30 PM.

I read that Suzie arrived at Janelle's house first at 8:15 PM and Stacy arrived at 8:30 PM.

Yep. I read that, too. Both times are on different day printings of the News-Leader. Their motto, "We get everything right. Mostly".

 

[lisaNYC]

How many police reports were made on this case? I know that @Seeker994 posted the first page of the first report. Were there any other reports that someone can post?

 

[Nixaeagle]

Because someone asked on the last thread .

 

[arc anjil]

I had a hard time reading the first report (handwritten). Still only get half of it.

I'd like to some more published SPD reports on this case. I've looked, but I found nothing...

SPD identified & flew to FL in early 1993 to interview the caller, as reported in the NL. The area code of the caller was released so if you dig you can find it.

Can you post that article from NL?

Can you post that article from NL?

I must be blind as a bat but I was totally unaware that caller had been identified. I would like to see that article. I do have a reasonably good idea who the caller was as a certain someone had confirmed ties to Florida but I had no recollection of that article.

 

[Hurricane]

Can you post that article from NL?

I'll tell you where to find it. The article was first printed in the NL on 3/06/1993 and discussed extensively at various times throughout these threads beginning in Thread #2, Page 32 with Post #776. If you don't have a subscription to an archival news service, you need to get one.

You knew about it when you tried to make the connection to Cox:

Quoting your post:

4) We know that the SPD went to Jacksonville, Florida in 1993 (?) to interview a male individual; evidently the person who called to AMW. They must necessarily have identified this person to have seen him in person. The newspapers/media have never said that they didn't identify him so that leaves us with the logical inference they managed to identify this person. We cannot know but we can suggest that this person also fingered Cox. If this person identified another person or gave information relevant to the investigation, we have no information who it pertained to.

The new thread's starting to look promising. I say we solve it by page 11.

@arc anjil I like the timeline! @Boston Corbett I like your optimism!

I find the whole address thing interesting. Not sure what to make of it right now.
