Going West: True Crime

In June of 1992, three women vanished without a trace from a quiet home in Springfield, Missouri. Suzie Streeter, her friend Stacy McCall, and Suzie’s mother, Sherrill Levitt, had returned home after a graduation celebration, never to be seen again. Their purses were left behind, the house showed no signs of struggle, and a cryptic, unsettling message on the answering machine was erased before police could hear it. What should have been a safe, ordinary night became one of the most haunting mysteries in American true crime, and what really happened inside that house may be far darker than anyone expected. This is the disappearance of the Springfield Three.
