   Authorities in Springfield, Missouri have been trying to figure out what happened to three women in 1992. The women from the pictures left to right are Sherrill Levitt, Stacy McCall and Suzanne Streeter. AMW aired the story in late December 1992. On Jun 6, 1992, Stacy and Suzanne drove in separate vehicles to Sherrill's home when all three mysteriously disappeared. The following day, they were reported missing, all their belongings were at Sherrill's home. The only thing amiss at Sherrill's home was a broken porch light. Several unconfirmed leads in the days that followed included a woman who looked similar to Suzanne driving a green van with a man, the three women being sighted at a steakhouse and an unidentified transient man who was seen near Sherrill's home. When AMW aired this story in late December 1992, a person called the hotline but disconnected before Springfield investigators could talk to the caller. Investigators pleaded for the person to call again as they believe he had information regarding the case, but he was never heard from again. --- Thoughts? This may be one of the most baffling missing person cases on AMW I've ever heard of. Judging by the hotline caller and the broken porch light, it appears that this case is criminal in nature but aside from unconfirmed theories, there are no clear leads as to what happened. One thing that is clear to me is that I highly doubt one person could have pulled off the disappearance of three grown women so there are probably multiple people that were involved in this. www.charleyproject.org/cases/s/streeter_suzanne.htmlen.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Springfield_ThreeAdmin Note #1: According to the Charley Project, anyone having information should call the Springfield Police Department (Missouri) at 1-417-864-1810 or Springfield CrimeStoppers at 1-417-869-TIPSAdmin Note #2: If you have any news-related updates on this case, please contact us here: amwfans.com/thread/1662/website-contact-form |

Oh was this case is bizarre and there's so many theories according to that Charley Project website, including the former Chief of Police and Streeter's ex-husband among other theories. I think the problem in bizarre cases- is just that. It's hard to sift through the truth because the theories may sometimes become more bizarre than the case itself.

Crime Watch Daily did a segment on this case yesterday. Wanted to lay out even though we may have known some of the details before- -Among the theories was Suzanne's ex-boyfriend. Suzanne was apparently into satanism and her boyfriend was in a grave-robbing gang. She turned him in and was set to testify against him. -A prime suspect is a man who has spent time in prison in Florida, California and Texas named Robert Craig Cox. He has a history of abducting women and was a suspect in a homicide in Florida. In an interview with a local tv journalist, he makes odd claims about knowing the Levitt, McCall and Streeter are dead, but doesn't go into much detail beyond that. Robert Craig Cox moved to Springfield two weeks before the three women went missing and worked at the same car dealership as Suzanne's father. -A local freelance journalist named Kathee Baird becomes part of the story herself. She receives claims that Levitt, Mccall, and Streeter are buried under a hospital parking lot. However, the Springfield Police Sergeant interviewed for Crime Watch Daily says the women went missing a year before the hospital was built, and they would have been found from the excavation to build the parking garage. -Baird claims she knows what happened in the Crime Watch Daily interview with Kim Goldman, but is very vague on details, to the point that even the producer has to interrupt and vent his frustration. Baird claims she's being vague on purpose because she's afraid for her safety. Some in the Springfield Police say they have big questions about Kathy's information and says some of it comes from psychics, but the Sergeant interviewed welcomes all leads. My personal opinion is I'm sorry but Baird's evasiveness struck me as weird and there's just something about Robert Craig Cox and that tv interview. My feeling is that he's the guy responsible for whatever happened, but unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any DNA evidence to prove it. Here's the link to the story and segments: crimewatchdaily.com/2017/10/17/crime-watch-daily-investigates-the-mysterious-disappearance-of-the-springfield-three/ |

I was surprised to find that The Springfield Three case doesn't seem to have been added to the forum yet (perhaps it was never featured on the actual show - which would be a bit surprising since it is quite a famous case). I have come across an interesting theory as to the location of their bodies and wanted to post it. Apologies if I did miss the actual thread.
Whilst reading a thread on WebSleuths on The Springfield Three I came across a post ( www.websleuths.com/forums/threads/the-springfield-three-new-discussion.482989/#post-15542050) postulating as to the location of the bodies that surprised me at how glaringly obvious it was, and yet it seems to have been overlooked. Just 2 miles away from the house is a cemetery ( Google Maps), and it struck me as the most ideal place to dispose of bodies - right in "plain sight", and (potentially) extremely difficult to find again.
I had a quick look at the cemetery entrance and perimeter in order to convince myself it was possible for them to get in. This ( Google Maps) is what I saw. Honestly I didn't expect the "gates" to be so low. And it seems to be a common trend all around. I think that any trouble to them would have been quite minimal. If they are indeed buried in the cemetery then it seems the only realistic way to identify where would be to find an anomalous record/occurrence. I'm not sure if the cemetery (or at least the entrance) was monitored by CCTV/security. I doubt it personally, though that would help greatly. I wouldn't say that it is certain that their bodies were buried in the cemetery, but the facts do suggest it is very possible, perhaps even likely. I have submitted the tip to the Springfield PD and I hope that it does indeed produce results. P.S. I would appreciate it if anyone else can suggest cases where the killer(s) did indeed bury their victim(s) in a cemetery? I do know that one of the men convicted of the Hatton Garden raid buried some of the stolen jewellery in a cemetery ( www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/crime/12013764/Hatton-Garden-heist-Ringleader-The-Guvnor-backed-out-at-last-minute-court-hears.html), so I am certain that there will be other instances too. |

Hi notsholmes, we had in fact already been discussing this case! Sometimes the search feature on this forum is wonky and for some reason some cases won't come up, so my recommendation would be also to google the case plus amwfans.com (for example google Suzanne Streeter plus amwfans.com) and the case should come up  I'm not sure if I can remember cases where the killer buried their victims in a cemetary offhand but I'm sure it's happened multiple times. |

Oops, sorry - I was sure that there would be one, I just couldn't find it. What are your thoughts on the theory?

I think it is entirely possible Sherrill Stacy and Suzanne may unfortunately be buried under a cemetery. I am also of the belief Cox is at the very least partially involved if not the main/only guy but right now unfortunately there hasn't been anything to officially charge him. I'm glad you submitted the tip as I think it is a very good theory.

I wonder if Cox was saving the fact as a sort of taunt (i.e. that it would still be difficult to find them even after he reveals where they were hidden)? I doubt he would implicate himself completely - and people with twisted minds enjoy that kind of stuff.

Could be the problem with confessions from inmates is lots of times they claim to be involved in crimes they had nothing to do with just for the attention.

Actually I don't believe he is personally. However many seem convinced that he is, and if so, that could be an explanation. Why do you think he is?

Just circumstantial coincidences such as working at the same car dealership as Suzanne's father, moving in just weeks before Sherrill Stacy and Suzanne went missing etc... He was a good suspect already but also fits a timeline. |

I've been reading up a bit about Cox, and he strikes me as quite unusual, especially the fact that he refers to the case in a sort of bystander capacity. An example of that is this: He seems to be indicating against himself being the murderer by speaking in that sort of third-person way. Also, what would be his motivation? According to his previous crimes it was money (kidnapping (didn't find details but probably for ransom) and robbery) and he himself stated that he committed his crimes to satiate his gambling addiction (last paragraph):  ).
This news story also contains some interesting analysis of Cox.
