Man kills serial pedophile
Suzanne Streeter, 19, lived with her mother, Sherrill Levitt, 47, in a house in the 1700 block of East Delmar Street in Springfield, Missouri. Suzie graduated from Kickapoo High School on the evening of June 6, 1992, along with her friend, Stacy McCall, 18. Although Suzie planned to meet with Stacy later that evening, she first had dinner at home with her mother. She and Stacy had made plans to spend their graduation evening at a hotel in Branson, but changed plans and decided to stay at another friend's home in Battlefield instead.![]()
Stacy McCall was supposed to spend the evening that night that the three women disappeared without a trace
Suzie called her mother at approximately 10:30 p.m. to discuss her plans, and was last seen, along with Stacy, at 2:15 a.m. after they decided to change their plans once again and head for Suzie's home...
Suzie's mother, Sherrill, telephoned a friend at approximately 11:15 on the evening of June 6, and told her friend that she was painting a chest of drawers at the time. She did not indicate that anything was amiss at her home.
Police believe that Suzie and Stacy returned to Sherrill's home sometime after 2:15 a.m., after having decided that their friend's home was too crowded. They were believed to have driven their separate vehicles back to Suzie and Sherrill's house and, according to those interviewed by the police later, they had made plans to meet with other friends at White Water amusement park in Branson later in the day.![]()

One of the girls' friends made several attempts to contact Suzie and Stacy by calling Sherrill's house and making in-person visits, but each time it appeared that no one was at home. After several failed attempts, Stacy's family called the local police and reported the mysterious circumstances.
When the police arrived at Sherrill's house, they discovered that her personal belongings were all there, and that their vehicles were parked at the home. Sherrill's bed looked like it had been slept in, and her eyeglasses were lying next to the bed. A book had been turned over, which indicated to the cops that she may have been interrupted while reading.
The family's Yorkshire Terrier was inside the house, and appeared to be anxious. The television was also turned on, and personal belongings did not appear to have been bothered. Although there was no sign of a struggle inside the house, police noted that the porch light had been shattered.![]()
Sherrill Levitt didn't take off on her own; her dog and her purse were left behind
Police observed that Sherrill and Suzie's cigarettes and lighters were left behind and that all three of the missing women's purses had been placed together on the stairway. Other items including money, jewelry, clothing, cars, and keys had been left behind. Because nearly 24 hours had passed before the police were notified, investigators believe the crime scene may have been tainted by loved ones attempting to figure out what had happened. Investigators, however, believe that all three women were abducted.
Several days later, a witness reported seeing a woman matching Suzanne's description driving an older moss green Dodge van on the afternoon of June 7. The witness said that the woman appeared terrified as she heard a male voice tell the driver, "Don't do anything stupid." Several other witnesses reported seeing a Dodge van in different areas of Springfield, but police have been unable to determine if the sightings were of the van they sought.
Robert Craig Cox, a convicted robber serving time in a Texas prison on charges unrelated to this case, was identified by investigators as a possible suspect. Cox apparently told detectives that he had not been in the Springfield area on June 7, but later recanted his statement. Cox also reportedly told a journalist that he knew the women had been murdered and buried near Levitt's home, purportedly claiming that their remains would never be found.![]()

An extensive search of the area around Sherrill Levitt's home did not turn up any human remains or any clues that could shed any light on the women's whereabouts. Investigators do not know if Cox's statements were credible, or whether he was merely seeking attention by providing false statements. He has never been charged in connection with the disappearances.
An anonymous caller telephoned the America's Most Wanted hotline when that program profiled the case in 1992, but either hung up or was disconnected before he could provide any information. Springfield investigators believe the caller had vital information, but despite public pleas for him to come forward the caller never contacted authorities again.
A reward fund has been established for information leading to the location and prosecution of the person or persons responsible for these disappearances. Anyone with information is asked to call the Springfield Police Department at (417) 864-1810, (417) 869-8477 (CRIME STOPPERS), or provide information via the department's 24-hour fax line at (417) 864-1713.







Still remember it like it was yesterday.. and still breaks my heart. I still occasionally google this to see if anything new is ever found and was surprised to find this today. I hope and pray that you'll one day know the truth.
Posted 01/24/2010 at 02:14:39 PMI also noticed the recent facebook group created for Jackie Johns and saw hundreds joining almost immediately. I was surprised to see that no facebook group existed for these 3. I think someone should create one to remember.. and keep people thinking about this until it can one day be solved.
God bless...
There is a book being written about a serial killer who operated in the Midwest during the time these three ladies disappeared. This suspect fits the details of this case very well via his profile, m.o. and travel habits.
Posted 01/26/2010 at 11:11:40 AMAlthough I wasn't a close friend to either Suzie or Stacy, I had several classes with them throughout high school. I have thought about this case throughout all these long years. I hope one day this mystery will be solved and laid to rest, so all of us can have resolution especially for the families involved. I wonder if Springfield Police will ever resort to a cold case task force and re-evaluate the evidence, with today's technology I'm positive they can uncover the truth.
