The Last Night Together

0:00 Speaker 1: The disappearance of the Springfield Three. On the morning of

0:03 Speaker 1: June seventh, nineteen ninety two, something strange happened inside a

0:07 Speaker 1: quiet home in Springfield, Missouri. A house that should have

0:11 Speaker 1: been full of life was completely silent. The home belonged

0:15 Speaker 1: to Cheryl Levitt, a forty seven year old hairdresser, who

0:18 Speaker 1: lived there with her daughter Suzanne, Susie Streeter, a nineteen

0:22 Speaker 1: year old who had just graduated high school, and Susie's friend,

0:25 Speaker 1: Stacy McCall, also eighteen. The night before, everything seemed normal.

0:31 Speaker 1: Susie and Stacy had spent the evenings celebrating their graduation.

0:35 Speaker 1: They attended parties, laughed with friends, and eventually returned to

0:39 Speaker 1: Susie's house late at night. They were never seen again.

0:43 Speaker 1: The next morning, Susie's mother arrived and immediately noticed something

0:47 Speaker 1: was wrong. The front door was unlocked, the women's belongings

0:51 Speaker 1: were still inside, their purses were there, their cars were

0:55 Speaker 1: parked outside. Their clothes, makeup, and personal it idea were untouched.

1:01 Speaker 1: It looked like they had simply vanished in the middle

1:04 Speaker 1: of the night. But the strangest part was what investigators

1:07 Speaker 1: found inside. The living room lamp was knocked over, a

1:11 Speaker 1: broken clock was discovered. There were signs that something unusual

1:15 Speaker 1: had happened, but there was no obvious struggle, no blood,

1:19 Speaker 1: no bodies, no clear evidence. The three women had disappeared

1:24 Speaker 1: without leaving a single explanation behind. Police began searching immediately.

1:29 Speaker 1: Neighbors were questioned, friends were interviewed. The entire area was investigated,

1:36 Speaker 1: but the biggest mystery was that someone had been inside

1:38 Speaker 1: the house or at least knew something about what happened.

1:42 Speaker 1: A few days later, a strange message was discovered written

1:45 Speaker 1: on the answering machine. It was not a confession, it

1:49 Speaker 1: was not a threat. It was simply a message from

1:52 Speaker 1: someone claiming to have information, but investigators could never determine

1:56 Speaker 1: who left it. Over the years, countless theories and merged.

2:00 Speaker 1: Some believed the women were taken by someone they knew.

2:04 Speaker 1: Others believed it was a random attack. Some suspected the

2:08 Speaker 1: answer was connected to people close to them, but every

2:11 Speaker 1: lead eventually disappeared. The case gained national attention, and decades

2:16 Speaker 1: later the Springfield three remained missing. Their families never received answers.

2:22 Speaker 1: Three women walked into a house on a summer night

2:25 Speaker 1: and somehow vanished before sunrise. More than thirty years later,

2:30 Speaker 1: the question remains, what happened to the Springfield Three
