The Springfield Three

Part Two: 92-40169

In the days, weeks, and months following the disappearance of three women from Springfield, Missouri, a high-profile search ensued. Authorities attempted to turn over every stone in the women's past, hoping they'd find some tantalizing lead that would point directly to them. Sadly, no such evidence was unearthed…

In the early morning hours of June 7th, 1992, three women disappeared. 47-year-old Sherrill Levitt, 19-year-old Suzanne Streeter, and 18-year-old Stacy McCall were all believed to have been at Sherrill's home - along the 1700 block of East Delmar Street in Springfield, Missouri - at some point that morning. But sometime after Suzanne and Stacy arrived at the home, just after 2:30 AM, the three would disappear.

In the days and weeks that followed, the family members, friends, and other loved ones of the three missing women suffered tremendously. But none more so than Stacy McCall's parents, Stuart and Janis, with Stuart telling reporters with the Springfield News-Leader:

"What am I going to do if I have to go identify the body? You have to put it out of your mind and say it's not going to happen. It's just a big mind game you play with yourself."

As the uncertainty of their daughter's fate continued to play out, the McCalls and others would have to deal with the burden that often plagues the loved ones of missing people. They had to not only deal with the severity of the loss - in their case, that of their youngest child - but also the unnerving unknowing that came with that, not knowing where Stacy was. Or if she was even still alive.

While the McCalls struggled to work through their grief, others close to the Springfield Three continued to work through their own emotions, not knowing where to expend energy. Many tried to join in the local search efforts in certain ways - putting up flyers, assisting in searches of local areas, etc. - while others didn't know how to help without feeling like they were getting in the way. Some felt like they just wanted to let the police do their job and help out only if they were called upon to do so.

Sadly, Sherrill Levitt and Suzie Streeter had both been each others' biggest advocate, so them disappearing at the same time made it hard for anyone in the region to speak for them. However, they did have family that would speak to the press on occasion, including Sherrill's uncle, Cliff Williams, who lived in nearby Webster County, as well as her son (and Suzie's brother), Bartt Streeter.

Bartt, 27-years-old at the time, hadn't spoken with his mother or sister in a few months. However, he would soon find himself in the middle of the story, as police set out to uncover what his relationship was with 2 of the 3 missing women. As the closest familial connection either of them had in the Springfield area, he undoubtedly found himself high up on the suspect list early on. Especially once police learned that he had grown estranged from them months beforehand.

Bartt Streeter was interviewed by investigators multiple times over, and like many of the early suspects, was polygraphed. However, police officials refrained from calling him a suspect, describing him as cooperative many times over. Bartt himself would state that he had nothing to hide, and reportedly sat with police through multiple interviews, and even voluntarily dropped by police headquarters to chat with investigators about the current status of the investigation multiple times.

Months later, though, the pressure of the high-profile investigation seems to have gotten to Bartt Streeter. He reportedly quit his job and moved out of town. Years later, he'd get in some legal trouble for a number of reasons, but that's something we'll touch on later.

Surprisingly, as police dug into the backstory of Bartt Streeter - and what had led to him growing estranged from his immediate family - they learned about one of Suzie's boyfriends, who also became an early suspect. Suzie's relationship with this young man had led to Bartt voicing his disapproval, which led to him having multiple arguments with his mother and sister, ultimately losing touch with them for months before their eventual disappearance in June 1992.

Mike Kovacs was a young man that had dated Suzie for a couple of years, up until September of the year prior, 1991. During their relationship, both Mike and Suzie were reportedly abusive with one another, with Kovacs admitting that he and Suzie would both "hit each other" quite a bit, citing their immaturity as a rationale. Despite that, though, the two had dated for two years, and actually lived together for a brief period of time the summer before Suzie's disappearance, but their relationship had ended rather explosively later that Fall, in September 1991.

As it turned out, Suzie had sought a restraining order against Mike Kovacs roughly seven months before her disappearance, on October 23rd, 1991. In a sworn statement, Suzie claimed that Kovacs was abusive towards her, and had expressed multiple signs of troubling behavior such as slashing her car tires, threatening her via telephone, and harassing her at school, work, and home. For that reason, a 10-day restraining order was granted on October 23rd, but at a hearing to extend it beyond November 5th, Suzie was a no-show, so the protection order expired.

When asked by reporters about Mike Kovacs being a suspect, police told the Springfield News-Leader:

"Now you know why he was one of the first people we interviewed and began doing background checks on... We do have four or five people we are looking at very closely. These are people who have non-substantiated alibis for breaks in time during the time we believe the women disappeared. Mr. Kovacs is one of those individuals."

While Mike Kovacs was suspected of potential involvement early on, it's believed that the investigation quickly ruled him out as a suspect due to his relationship with Suzie seeming to have been a thing of the past, and their explosive break-up happening nearly a year beforehand. They doubted he would have sought revenge at all, especially at the time that did. Yet, that didn't stop police from looking into him as a possibility early on.

As days began to turn into weeks, the investigation into the disappearance of the three women seemed to stall. Yet the case remained front-page news for all of the local newspapers, and dominated coverage on the evening news in the region surrounding Springfield, Missouri. It was reported that investigators had looked through all of the various alleged leads they'd been given, such as allegations of Stacy and Suzie getting wrapped up in drug use the night of their graduation (of which no evidence was found), as well as Sherrill living beyond her means, going into debt to finance her house renovations (which again, no evidence was ever found). As I touched on, Sherrill's divorces had also been amicable, and she didn't seem to have any evil ex's that wanted to do her harm. So for that reason, solid, tangible leads were hard to come by for investigators.

Roughly a week-and-a-half after the Springfield Three vanished into thin air, police in Springfield would release a composite image of a "transient type" man seen near Sherrill's home on June 5th and again on June 6th, the days immediately preceding their disappearance. This individual was described as being between 34 and 48 years old, standing around 5'8" or 5'9" tall, having a thin frame (estimated to weigh around 145 lbs), with shoulder-length hair that was sandy or reddish in color, a freckled & tan complexion, a full-looking beard, and what looks like thin, almost drowsy-looking eyes.

With the release of this composite image, Police Captain Tony Glenn stated:

"This individual was totally out of place in the area. He was a transient type with no apparent reason for being there. It's something we feel is significant."

A woman that lived four blocks away from Sherrill told police that she'd seen a similar man on June 6th at her home, along with another man wearing a fluorescent orange vest. This woman claims that the two men knocked on her front door and she didn't answer, but then they came around to the back sliding patio door, reportedly trying to open the door but abandoning the effort after a few minutes.

At around the same time investigators released the description and composite image of this transient individual, they also released a description of a vehicle seen at a Signal gas station located on the northeast corner of East Grand Street and South Glenstone Avenue, roughly one-quarter of a mile away from 1717 East Delmar Street, at around 4:30 AM on June 7th. The vehicle was described as a dark brown, two-door American-made vehicle, similar to an Oldsmobile, which was occupied by two men at the time.

Police had also received reports of a brown Dodge van seen near Sherrill's home on the morning of June 7th, which was described as a 1967-1970 Dodge van with a rusted bottom and no rear or side windows. This van had reportedly been spotted at a nearby dentist's office on June 3rd and June 4th, but hadn't been seen by any residents since the morning of June 7th, 1992. Later, police would amend their description of this van to be green or grayish in color, not brown, but we'll touch upon that some more later on.

Reporters would also highlight reports of a potential prowler seen roughly three blocks away from Sherrill's home the same morning that they'd gone missing. A woman there claims that she saw a tall, thin man with a baseball cap peering into her window at around 1:15 AM on June 7th, 1992, before she turned on the lights and watched the man flee. Later, she claims, a neighbor found broken plants under that same window, as well as a pocketknife, which was handed over to police days later, on June 9th.

Later that month, it was reported that a gas station employee may have seen Sherrill Levitt at around 2:15 AM on June 7th, 1992, at around the same time that Stacy and Suzie left Janelle Kirby's.

Steve Thompson, a 24-year-old employee at the Apco A-Mart about 4.5 miles south of Sherrill Levitt's home along East Delmar Street, claims that he saw a woman that looked incredibly similar to Sherrill after 2:00 that morning. This was in an area where Sherrill and Suzie had lived just months beforehand, before relocating to the home on East Delmar Street, and where they still spent a lot of time in so they were regulars in the neighborhood.

While it was hard for police to make heads or tails of this witness report, it would open up the possibility that Sherrill may have left her home early on the morning of June 7th to look for Suzie at around the same time that Suzie and Stacy had been driving home from Janelle Kirby's home in Battlefield. It would also indicate that Suzie and Stacy may have been at the gas station earlier that evening, at around the same time they were headed over to a party in Springfield. That party took place at friend Michelle Elder's home along East Hanover Street, roughly one mile away from the gas station, and this information may have given police belief that the witness sighting was credible. This was likely information that others like Janelle Kirby, as well as other friends of Suzie's and Stacy's, could verify.

Yet, the main component of Steve Thompson's witness report that police would struggle to verify was the belief that Sherrill Levitt had been out looking for Suzie late that evening. As far as they'd gathered, this was the only single report that she'd been attemping to locate Suzie, since by all indications, she'd believed Suzie would be staying with friends at a hotel in Branson, Missouri that evening. None of Suzie's friends (or their families) would recall getting a phone call from Sherrill that night, looking for Suzie. Kathy Kirby, Janelle Kirby's mother, told the Springfield News-Leader:

"If she wanted to get ahold of her daughter, she knew exactly where to call. Our phone did not ring one time. I don't want to call anybody a liar, but to me it's just very strange that she did not call us, when we had told her to call us if she needed to get ahold of Suzie."

Mary Keller, a close friend of Sherrill's, would also express doubt about this alleged sighting:

"For her to be out at 2 in the morning, just whistling in the wind or whatever, that's just nuts. The only way she would go out like that is if somebody called her and said Suzie needed her."

Yet despite that, authorities would state that Steve Thompson's information had some veracity to it, with Captain Tony Glenn telling reporters:

"Everything he has told us that can be verified, has been verified."

Thompson's account would undoubtedly shake up the potential timeline for events quite a bit, and put into question what may have happened inside (or outside) of Sherrill's home in the early morning hours of June 7th, 1992. However, weeks later, police seemed to have stepped away from Thompson's testimony, believing that it may have simply been a case of mistaken identity. They never really touched upon what led them to the sudden change in belief.

Later that month, another potential witness would come forward. A waitress at George's Steak House, a 24/7 diner located along South Glenstone Avenue, claims that she saw three women there on the morning of June 7th, at some point between 1:00 and 3:00 AM. It was believed that there was a mother and daughter, identical in appearance to Sherrill Levitt and Suzie Streeter, and that they were there with a younger brunette woman, possibly Stacy McCall. The waitress claims that the younger blonde woman, supposedly Suzie, was visibly intoxicated and was acting giddy, and that the older woman, presumably Sherrill Levitt, was trying to calm her down. The third woman, possibly Stacy McCall, remained quiet throughout their time there.

This would push back the known timeline a bit longer, and would indicate that someone may have followed the three women home from the diner, but as was the case with the potential gas station sightings, it was impossible to determine whether this was a true accounting of the Springfield Three, or just women that looked like them. Or whether this was a sighting that was just being conflated with another in the memory of someone recounting events days after the fact.

Surprisingly, Mike Kovacs was not the only ex-boyfriend of Susie Streeter's to be suspected of involvement early on. Another, Dustin Recla, found himself in investigator's crosshairs within the early weeks of the case, due to not only his volatile relationship with Suzie, but other criminal acts he was purported to have engaged in. Because of those, the suspicion around him would linger for months.

20-year-old Dustin Recla's prior criminal history put him on police radar in the first place, with him having been accused of helping break into a mausoleum that prior February. Recla and two cohorts, Joseph Riedel and Michael Clay, broke into a mausoleum at Springfield's Maple Park Cemetery, damaging two coffins in the process of stealing gold fillings from the teeth of corpses. Later, they'd pawned off the gold fillings for $30 at a pawn shop in Springfield. As a result, all had been charged with felony institutional vandalism, with Riedel having fled to Illinois afterward; Clay jumped bail and fled to California.

Based on the testimony of all three, Recla's involvement in the graverobbing heist had been rather minimal. He'd remained outside the mausoleum while Clay and Riedel broke into it, stealing the heads of two bodies inside; one of which they set on fire, the second of which they removed the gold fillings from before leaving it in a tree at Jenny Lincoln Park, where it was discovered days later by a pair of young boys playing.

At the time of the graverobbing incident, February 1992, Dustin and Suzie had only been dating for a brief period (if you recall, she'd broken up with Mike Kovacs the prior September). However, Suzie had been questioned by investigators about the vandalism of corpses, and reported provided them with a statement regarding Dustin Recla's involvement in the felony. Months later, investigators would theorize that this testimony - some of the only evidence against Recla and his cohorts - may have provided a motive for her to have been targeted by the group. It was also believed that Sherrill Levitt had against Recla, too, theorizing that he'd used her car to help carry out the crime.

Police would later learn that Dustin Recla and his associates were in Springfield on June 7th, the same time that Suzie disappeared, along with her mom and friend. Worried that the graverobbing trio may have had something to do with the missing three women, police surveilled Recla and his cohorts in the days that followed. However, it's unknown if any suspicious behavior was witnessed.

In the months that followed, police would continue to look into Dustin Recla as a potential suspect. A known drug user, Recla was also linked to a local M.C., the Galloping Goose Motorcycle Club, and police struggled to find anything that eliminated him as a possible abductor of the three women. Similarly, they struggled to find anything definitive connecting him to the disappearance, and months later, he was sentenced to a three-year suspended sentence for the grave-robbing incident from February 1992. This came with a number of stipulations, such as being placed in a community sentencing program and spending 14 days in county jail, as well as serving 150 hours of community service and paying restitution to the cemetery, but overall, it was a pretty light sentence. So much so that it's hard to believe Recla and his associates would have murdered three women to avoid it.

As weeks began to transform into months, nothing new seemed to develop. Authorities kept pushing for any of the hundreds, nay, thousands of tips they'd received to turn into a solid lead, but they, along with the missing trio's family and friends, remained disappointed. Despite that, however, they remained consistent in their belief that someone from the area had been involved, either in the disappearance itself or knew of it, yet was refusing to talk.

On December 31st, 1992, a call came in to the switchboard of "America's Most Wanted," with the caller offering up information about the disappearance of the three women. This information was apparently "specific" enough to get the attention of investigators, with Springfield Police Sgt. David Asher later stating:

"We were able to corroborate some of the information he provided as a result of our investigation. There was a motive mentioned and with the information provided, it's conceivable the crime occurred that way."

However, during the call, the call-taker mistakenly tried to loop in police to the call, resulting in the call being dropped without the caller's information being taken. Afterward, police and family members of the missing women would make public appeals for the caller to get back in touch with police once again, as they believed their information to have been incredibly useful. It's believed that the caller indicated stalking as a potential precursor to the crime, and hinted at a link to the Jacksonville, Florida region. Taped appeals for this caller to get in touch with them would air on "America's Most Wanted" through 1993, but it's unknown if this caller ever re-established contact.

Throughout 1993, the women failed to materialize in any way, missing their birthdays. First came Suzie's birthday in March, and then Stacy's in April, and finally Sherrill's in November (the second birthday she'd missed since the initial disappearance). On the one-year mark of the case, dubbed "92-40169" in local police records, it was still heavily-talked about amongst locals, who wondered what made this case so unsolvable. When asked why police still didn't know where the three missing women were, the lead investigator, Sgt. Asher, told reporters with the Springfield News-Leader:

"It's an unreasonable question. We don't know why because we don't have a crime scene. We haven't found the women. We haven't got a clue that we're aware of that's led us in a specific direction."

Later that month, the reward for answers rose to nearly $100,000, but still failed to lead to any resolution.

In 1993, a prisoner led investigators to a farm in western Webster County, where he claimed the bodies of Sherrill, Suzie, and Stacy would be found. However, an extensive search of the region turned up nothing new. Like the other tips, this had been a dead end, but the prisoner that led police to this farm would remain in their crosshairs for a while longer, due if only to his forced involvement in the story.

This prisoner was awaiting sentencing for an unrelated weapons violation in Greene County at the time, and told police that a friend had confessed to killing the missing three women whilst drinking. This prisoner then gave police the reported location where they could find the women's bodies as well as a gray-green van used to transport their bodies, leading to the search in 1993.

Surprisingly, that location had a tie to a separate crime from 1989. In that incident, three Springfield residents had also disappeared at the same time: 35-year-old Mary Susan Thomas, 34-year-old John David Davison, and 40-year-old Daniel Lee Davison. The victims were believed to have been killed in a drug deal gone wrong, and information had led police to that same stretch of land in 1990, three years earlier, where they'd heard that 2 out of the 3 bodies had been disposed of. But after a similar search back then, nothing had been found. Yet the property's owner, Francis Lee Robb. Sr., later pleaded guilty to two counts of 2nd degree murder.

Regarding the search of the property in 1993, police remained mum about what potential evidence, if at all, they'd discovered. Barred by a partial gag order from revealing anything found during the search, police would reveal that this was just the second of three searches they'd conducted in that area during this time, all of which pertained to the Springfield Three investigation. Despite the search warrants being sealed by a Webster County court, Springfield Police Captain Todd Whitson would reveal:

"It was not just routine. We have a substantial interest in this."

The inmate that led police to this location later pleaded guilty to two counts of unlawful possession of a concealable weapon, and was sentenced in November of 1993 to two years in prison. Despite it being reported that police had found nothing substantial during their searches, investigators speculated that this inmate knew more about the case than he had let on, as he had provided information that was not known to the general public. We'll hear more about this individual in the next episode.

In response to this search in 1993, family members and friends continued to struggle with the cynicism that seemed to be winning them over, with Sherrill Levitt's uncle, Cliff Williams, telling reporters:

"I'm beginning to think they're probably at the bottom of a lake somewhere. If they were alive, I'm sure, surely by now, somehow they would have contacted us."

Janis McCall, the mother of Stacy McCall, told the Springfield News-Leader:

"I'm glad they searched. I'm glad they came up with nothing, because I still think they're alive. I'm sick of the negative comments that they're not alive.

"I don't believe they're dead and buried."

From the earliest days of the investigation, police had tried to highlight a van that had been spotted in the area near Sherrill Levitt's home, which was believed to have been brown in color. But over time, police would amend that statement, claiming that it may have been gray-green in color. However this discrepancy came to be, I couldn't tell you. Regardless, this van was reportedly spotted near Sherrill's home in the vital time period that the three women were believed to have gone missing, some time between 2:30 and 7:30 AM on June 7th, 1992.

Well, in October of 1993, more than a year later, police discovered a similar-looking van at a public campground in Indiana, having been abandoned there by a couple, weeks beforehand. The couple reportedly stayed at the campsite that summer, having also driven a pickup truck, leaving behind the van at the RV park in Ripley County, Indiana when they left. Eventually, police were called to take care of the matter and discovered that the van, which had no license plates at the time, had been stolen from Springfield, Missouri the same week that the Springfield Three had gone missing.

Was this a coincidence? Maybe it was, as police believe the dark blue 1985 Dodge conversion van had no relation to their case, other than the similar time frame in which it had been stolen. This is despite it having been stolen from the 1500 block of North Glenstone Avenue, just 2.5 miles away from Sherrill Levitt's home, some time between June 4th and 9th of 1992.

After the discovery of this van, police would insist upon their interest in looking for a 1960s metallic green Dodge van, which more closely resembled the vehicle seen near the potential crime scene.

In August of 1994, a Green County grand jury was empaneled to explore the disappearance, re-examining the relationships between the primary suspects with the victims, as well as some other theories posited by investigators. One of the suspects that police began re-examining was Dustin Recla, the ex-boyfriend of Suzanne Streeter, who - along with his cohorts, Joseph Riedel and Michael Clay - had been probed for potential involvement back in 1992.

When asked about the grand jury by reporters, Dustin Recla would tell them:

"It's the same stuff. Nothing new for the past two years and some months."

Sadly, he was not the only one to make that same complaint. The police investigation, which was two years old at this point, had been struggling to make any real progress in quite some time, and by all indications, had long since stagnated. While police had received thousands of tips from all over the country, it seems like the massive influx of potential information led to a tsunami of speculation, with police struggling to determine which tip may grown into a lead. Now, a couple of years out from the mystifying disappearance of three women from Springfield, Missouri, they were just as lost as they'd ever been.

At this point, the investigation would begin to enter the most dreaded phase of an investigation.. the one that family members and other loved ones loathe to hear, because it almost undoubtedly implies that there is nowhere else for the case to go. That the leads, however many, have resulted in nothing but dead ends.

A cold case investigation.

That's on the next episode of Unresolved.

Before we go, while digging into the newspaper archives for this story, I found a letter to the editor written by Janelle Kirby, friend of Suzie and Stacy's, and one of the last people to see them.

For many months, the Springfield News-Leader had included daily pictures of the three missing women in their paper, counting each day that they'd been missing. However, partway through 1993, this feature was dropped, with the victims' family members and other loved ones disapproving. They still held out hope that the women would return home safely, and the paper losing hope in them seemed to cast doubt about that hopeful goal.

In this letter, Janelle Kirby wrote:

"I find it hard to believe you are no longer posting the days and pictures of Suzie Streeter, Stacy McCall and Sherrill Levitt in the newspaper. You are the only way we could keep this in the public eye from day to day.

"It seems like you have given up on their coming home. I strongly believe in my heart that my two best friends, who I miss very deeply, will come home. All that we have left to hold onto is hope and you are taking part of that away by removing their pictures from the newspaper.

"I want you to put yourself in my position. Would you want people to give up hope and quit praying for their return? With their pictures in the paper, maybe someone will see it, know something and come forward. By you taking them out of the paper, we cannot pray for that.

"Springfield needs to always remember and pray along with us for their safe return."
