In 1997, Robert Craig Cox, imprisoned in Texas as a convicted kidnapper and robber, and the suspect in a Florida murder, told journalists that he knew the three women had been murdered and buried and claimed their bodies would never be recovered. Cox stated to authorities and journalists he would disclose what happened to the three women after his mother died.

The Springfield Three - 19-year-old Suzie Streeter and her 18-year-old friend, Stacy McCall, had just recently graduated from Kickapoo High School. They were last seen in the early morning hours of 7th June, 1992, when they left a graduation party. They had intended on staying at a friend’s house but decided that it was too busy so planned to go back to Suzie’s house which she shared with her mother, Sherrill Levitt. It is believed that the two girls made it back to the house considering all of their clothing and jewellery that they had been wearing that night was found inside the house. Sherrill was last heard from at approximately 11:15pm on June 6, when she spoke to a friend on the phone. The three seemingly disappeared without a trace. The following day, on 8 June, a friend went by the house to visit the girls. She noted that there appeared to be broken light in the porch and the front door was left open, although there appeared to be no sign of forced entry. She entered the house and couldn’t find anybody. The beds had been slept in and the family dog appeared to be very agitated at something. While the friend was there, the phone rang. On the other end of the line was a man who said sexually explicit things to the friend who hung up. He called back immediately. The friend was extremely concerned and called the authorities. A missing persons investigation was immediately launched and while the authorities received over 5.000 calls, none of them uncovered anything useful and the disappearance of the three still remains a mystery.

The Springfield Three is an unsolved missing person case that began on June 7, 1992, when Sherrill Levitt, Suzie Streeter and Stacy McCall went missing from their home. Stacy McCall and Suzanne Streeter graduated from Kickapoo High School on June 6, 1992. They were last seen at around 2:00 am on June 7th as they left a graduation party at a friend’s house. The pair planned to spend the night at a friend’s house, but when the friend’s house became too crowded, they instead left to go to Suzie’s mother’s house, Sherrill Levitt. It appeared that they arrived at the residence, because their clothing, jewelry, purses and vehicles were still at this location. The parents of Stacy McCall, contacted police in reference to their daughter’s disappearance from the home of Sherrill Levitt and Suzanne Streeter, at least twelve hours after the women were last seen. Other friends and family began calling and visited the house during the day. The police later admitted that the crime scene had possibly been tainted by the twenty or so people who visited Sherrill’s house. Upon officers’ arrival, the house bore no signs of a struggle, except for a shattered porch globe (the light bulb was still illuminated) that was cleaned up by well-meaning friends of the missing women. Springfield police now believe that the broken glass from the porch light might have given some hint of what transpired that night. All personal property was left behind including purses, money, cars, keys, cigarettes, and the family dog. Suzanne’s mother, Sherrill Levitt, was last heard from at approximately 11:15 p.m. on June 6, 1992, when she talked with a friend about painting a chest of drawers. Levitt’s car and the furniture she was refinishing as well as her personal belongings were found inside the residence, and it appeared her bed had been slept in when friends and police arrived to check the residence. Despite over 5,000 tips from the public, neither their whereabouts or their remains have ever been found.
