Stacy mccall and suzanne streeter had graduated from high school the day before their disappearance and were last seen at approximately 2:15 a.M. On june 7, 1992, when they left a graduation party in a nearby community en route to the levitt/streeter home at 1717 e. Delmar, springfield. It appeared as though they had arrived at the residence because their clothing, jewelry, purses, and vehicles were still at this location. 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, purse, keys, etc., were left at the residence and it appeared as though her bed had been slept in when friends and police arrived to check the residence. Sherrill levitt: 11-01-44, 5', 110 lbs., brown eyes, short bleached-blonde hair, naturally curly hair, longer on top and short in the back.

She has a 3-1/2'' scar on top of her right forearm and a small tumor in the left corner of her mouth which gives the appearance that she has something in her mouth. With the assistance of the federal bureau of investigations, missouri state highway patrol, and numerous other law enforcement agencies, an extensive investigation into the lives of the missing women has been conducted with no positive leads concerning the reason for their disappearance or their location. A reward fund of $43,000 has been established for the location and prosecution of the persons responsible for the abduction of the three women.
