Vanished: The House on Delmar Street

Well, today we are going to Springfield, Missouri.

It's a mid-sized city in the Ozarks, which is a place where people left their doors unlocked, and nobody thought twice about it.

Well, one night, a graduation night actually, between two and eight in the morning, three women vanished from a small house on East Delmar Street.

Their cars were still in the driveway.

Their purses, their keys, their money, and even the family dog was left behind.

There was no blood, no forced entry, and no witnesses.

Nothing.

Genuinely baffling.

The case is known as the Springfield Three, and it's one of the strangest disappearances in American history.

So get comfortable, as comfortable as you can, because we're gonna walk through this the way that Springfield lived it, hour by hour and year by year.

All right, let's get into it.

Let's start with the three women themselves, because before this became a case file, it was just a family and a friend.

Sherrill Levitt was forty-seven years old, and she was tiny.

She was only around five foot and about a hundred and ten pounds.

She was a single mom who worked as a cosmetologist at a salon in town called New Attitudes, and everyone who knew her said the same thing, that she and her daughter Suzy were close, really close, more like best friends than mother and daughter.

Now, Sherrill had bought a small house on East Delmar Street not long before all of this, and she was very proud of it.

She was working on fixing it up piece by piece.

She was painting, getting new furniture, and just making it hers.

And she and Suzy had only moved in that spring.

Now, Suzy Streeter was nineteen.

She was five foot two, and on June 6th, 1992, she was graduating from Kickapoo High School.

And graduating right alongside her was her friend Stacy McCall.

Stacy was eighteen, and she was the youngest of three daughters in a very tight-knit family.

And her parents, Janice and Stu, were actually in the stands that afternoon watching her cross the stage.

So the ceremony was at 4:00, and the high school was offering an alcohol-free lock-in that night, which is an all-night supervised party inside the building that ran until 8:00 the next morning.
