Three Gone Overnight

0:00 Speaker 1: On the morning of June seventh, nineteen ninety two, the

0:03 Speaker 1: city of Springfield, Missouri, was waking to what should have

0:06 Speaker 1: been an ordinary Sunday. Families were heading to church, Coffee

0:10 Speaker 1: brewed in quiet kitchens. Graduation celebrations from the night before

0:15 Speaker 1: were still fresh in people's minds. But inside a modest

0:19 Speaker 1: home on East Delmar Street, something was terribly wrong. The

0:23 Speaker 1: house looked normal, the television was on. The family dog

0:28 Speaker 1: wandered through the rooms, anxious but unharmed. Three purses sat

0:33 Speaker 1: neatly together inside the house. Jewelry had been left behind,

0:37 Speaker 1: cars remained parked outside. Nothing appeared stolen. Yet the three

0:42 Speaker 1: women who lived there or had spent the night there,

0:44 Speaker 1: were gone. They had vanished without leaving a single note,

0:48 Speaker 1: no signs of a struggle, no blood, no broken windows,

0:53 Speaker 1: no obvious clues. The missing women were Cheryl Leavitt, her

0:57 Speaker 1: nineteen year old daughter, Susie Streeter, and Susie's friend Stacy McCall.

1:01 Speaker 1: The disappearance shocked Springfield. One missing person was unusual, two

1:07 Speaker 1: was alarming. Three adults vanishing from the same house overnight

1:11 Speaker 1: without a trace seemed almost impossible. The previous evening had

1:15 Speaker 1: been filled with celebration. Susie and Stacy had just graduated

1:19 Speaker 1: from high school. Like many graduates, they spent the night

1:23 Speaker 1: attending parties with classmates, laughing, taking photographs, and celebrating the future.

1:29 Speaker 1: The plan had originally been to stay at a friend's house,

1:33 Speaker 1: but after finding it too crowded, the two teenagers made

1:36 Speaker 1: a last minute decision they would spend the night at

1:39 Speaker 1: Susie's home instead. It was a small change, a simple decision,

1:44 Speaker 1: one that would change their lives forever. They arrived at

1:48 Speaker 1: the house sometime after two am. Inside, Cheryl Levitt was

1:52 Speaker 1: already home. She had recently moved into the house and

1:55 Speaker 1: was looking forward to beginning a new chapter of her life.

1:58 Speaker 1: Neighbors later reported hearing nothing unusual during the night, no screams,

2:03 Speaker 1: no gunshots, no loud arguments, just silence. Then, sometime between

2:10 Speaker 1: the early morning hours in sunrise, all three women disappeared.

2:14 Speaker 1: The first sign that something was wrong came later that morning.

2:18 Speaker 1: Friends arrived at the house, expecting to pick up Susie

2:21 Speaker 1: and Stacy for a day at a local water park. Instead,

2:24 Speaker 1: they found an unlocked home. The dog was inside, the

2:28 Speaker 1: women's belongings were still there, but the house was empty.

2:32 Speaker 1: At first, they assumed the women had stepped out Briefly,

2:36 Speaker 1: minutes turned into hours, calls went unanswered, Concern quickly turned

2:41 Speaker 1: into fear. By the end of the day, Springfield police

2:45 Speaker 1: had launched one of the largest missing person investigations in

2:48 Speaker 1: Missouri history. Three women had vanished from a single home,

2:53 Speaker 1: No witnesses had seen them leave, no one had reported

2:57 Speaker 1: suspicious activity, and somewhere in the darkness that summer night,

3:01 Speaker 1: a mystery had begun, one that would remain unsolved for

3:05 Speaker 1: decades and become one of America's most haunting missing person cases.

3:09 Speaker 1: As news of the disappearances spread through Springfield, investigators rushed

3:14 Speaker 1: to the house on East Delmar Street. The first glance,

3:17 Speaker 1: nothing made sense. The front door was unlocked. Inside the

3:22 Speaker 1: home appeared calm and orderly. There were no overturned chairs,

3:26 Speaker 1: no broken furniture, no obvious signs of a violent struggle.

3:31 Speaker 1: It looked as though the three women had simply vanished.

3:34 Speaker 1: Detectives carefully searched each room. They found Cheryl Levitt's purse.

3:39 Speaker 1: Next To it were the purses belonging to Susie Streeter

3:42 Speaker 1: and Stacy McCall. Inside were their driver's licenses, money, and

3:47 Speaker 1: other personal belongings. If the women had planned to go somewhere,

3:51 Speaker 1: why would they leave without their purses. Even more puzzling,

3:55 Speaker 1: all three cars were still parked outside the house. Nothing

3:59 Speaker 1: suggested they had driven away. The family dog, a Yorkshire

4:03 Speaker 1: Terrier named Cinnamon, wandered through the home unharmed. The frightened

4:07 Speaker 1: little dog appeared to have been left alone for hours.

4:10 Speaker 1: Investigators believed that if the women had left voluntarily, it

4:14 Speaker 1: was unlikely they would have abandoned the dog without arranging

4:17 Speaker 1: for someone to care for it. Then, detectives noticed another

4:21 Speaker 1: strange detail. Near the front porch was a broken glass

4:25 Speaker 1: globe from the porch light. Several friends had arrived at

4:28 Speaker 1: the house before police were called. Believing it was simply

4:31 Speaker 1: broken by accident, they had swept up the shattered glass

4:35 Speaker 1: and thrown it away. At the time, they had no

4:38 Speaker 1: idea they might be disturbing a potential crime scene. Whether

4:41 Speaker 1: the broken porch light was connected to the disappearances has

4:44 Speaker 1: never been proven, but investigators could no longer examine it

4:48 Speaker 1: as evidence. The first hours of any investigation are often

4:52 Speaker 1: the most critical. Unfortunately, before officers secured the home, several

4:57 Speaker 1: friends and family members had entered the house. Some answered

5:01 Speaker 1: the ringing telephone, Others cleaned up small items. People walked

5:05 Speaker 1: through rooms that might have contained fingerprints, footprints, or other

5:10 Speaker 1: valuable evidence. By the time detectives took control of the scene,

5:14 Speaker 1: any trace evidence may already have been compromised. Investigators immediately

5:19 Speaker 1: began reconstructing the women's final known movements. Susie Streeter and

5:24 Speaker 1: Stacy McCall had spent the evening celebrating their high school graduation.

5:29 Speaker 1: After attending several parties, they changed plans at the last

5:32 Speaker 1: minute and decided to sleep at Susie's house instead of

5:35 Speaker 1: a friend's home. That spontaneous decision meant very few people

5:39 Speaker 1: knew exactly where they would be spending the night. Cheryl

5:42 Speaker 1: Levitt had spent the evening at home. She had spoken

5:46 Speaker 1: with friends and family and appeared to be settling in

5:49 Speaker 1: after recently moving into the neighborhood. Nothing suggested she expected visitors.

5:53 Speaker 1: During the early hours of the morning, as detectives interviewed neighbors,

5:58 Speaker 1: they searched for anyone who had seen a suspicious vehicle

6:01 Speaker 1: or heard unusual noises. Most reported a quiet night, no screams,

6:06 Speaker 1: no gunfire, no obvious disturbance. It was as though whoever

6:11 Speaker 1: had taken the three women had done so swiftly and silently.

6:15 Speaker 1: The investigation was only beginning, but one unsettling question already

6:20 Speaker 1: haunted detectives. How do three adults disappear from a house

6:24 Speaker 1: without leaving behind a single clear clue. As detectives continued

6:28 Speaker 1: searching the house, they realized they were dealing with something

6:31 Speaker 1: far more unusual than a typical missing person case. Three

6:35 Speaker 1: women had disappeared from the same home. No ransom note

6:39 Speaker 1: had been left behind, no signs of forced entry could

6:42 Speaker 1: be found, and despite a thorough search, there was no

6:46 Speaker 1: blood or obvious evidence of violence. Investigators began by establishing

6:51 Speaker 1: a timeline. On the evening of June sixth, nineteen ninety two,

6:55 Speaker 1: Cheryl Levitt had spent the night at home. Friends later

6:58 Speaker 1: described her as up and excited about settling into her

7:02 Speaker 1: recently purchased house on East Delmar Street. Meanwhile, Susie Streeter

7:07 Speaker 1: and Stacy McCall were celebrating their high school graduation. They

7:11 Speaker 1: attended several parties with classmates, enjoying what should have been

7:14 Speaker 1: one of the happiest nights of their lives. Originally, the

7:18 Speaker 1: two young women planned to spend the night at another

7:20 Speaker 1: friend's house, but after finding it overcrowded, they changed their plans. Instead,

7:27 Speaker 1: they drove to Susie's home sometime after two am. That

7:30 Speaker 1: unexpected decision would become one of the biggest mysteries in

7:34 Speaker 1: the case. How many people knew they had changed their plans,

7:38 Speaker 1: Did someone follow them, or did someone already know they

7:41 Speaker 1: would be there. Detectives interviewed everyone who had seen the

7:45 Speaker 1: women that evening. Friends recalled nothing unusual. Neither Susie nor

7:50 Speaker 1: Stacy seemed frightened. No one reported them being followed. The

7:54 Speaker 1: celebrations had ended like any other graduation night. Then investigators

7:59 Speaker 1: discovered another puzzling detail. Several people reported receiving strange phone

8:05 Speaker 1: calls at the house after the women disappeared. One caller

8:08 Speaker 1: allegedly made disturbing, inappropriate comments before hanging up. Unfortunately, because

8:14 Speaker 1: friends answered the phone before police secured the home, the

8:18 Speaker 1: calls could not be traced. Whether the calls were connected

8:21 Speaker 1: to the disappearances or simply cruel prank calls has never

8:25 Speaker 1: been determined. Meanwhile, officers expanded the search beyond the neighborhood.

8:30 Speaker 1: Roads fields, wooded areas, and nearby lakes were searched. Helicopters

8:36 Speaker 1: flew overhead. Volunteers joined officers in looking for any sign

8:40 Speaker 1: of the missing women. Nothing was found, not a piece

8:44 Speaker 1: of clothing, not a personal item, not a single confirmed

8:48 Speaker 1: clue pointing to where they had gone. As the days passed,

8:52 Speaker 1: investigators faced an unsettling possibility. Whoever had taken the women

8:57 Speaker 1: appeared to have planned the crime carefully. Three adults had

9:00 Speaker 1: vanished without waking the neighborhood. No witnesses came forward claiming

9:05 Speaker 1: they had seen a struggle. No one reported hearing screams.

9:09 Speaker 1: If an abduction had occurred, it had been carried out

9:12 Speaker 1: with remarkable speed or under circumstances. Investigators still could not explain.

9:17 Speaker 1: The case quickly became front page news across Missouri. Families

9:22 Speaker 1: locked their doors earlier, neighbors watched unfamiliar cars more closely.

9:27 Speaker 1: Fear spread through Springfield. If three women could disappear from

9:31 Speaker 1: their own home without a trace, could it happen to anyone?

9:35 Speaker 1: With each passing day, the mystery deepened. The house held

9:39 Speaker 1: almost no answers, the neighborhood offered few witnesses, and somewhere

9:44 Speaker 1: beyond East Delmar Street, someone knew exactly what had happened

9:48 Speaker 1: during the final hours before dawn. As the search entered

9:51 Speaker 1: its second week, investigators faced a difficult reality. There was

9:56 Speaker 1: still no trace of Chryl Levitt, Susie Streeter, or Stacey Mca.

10:00 Speaker 1: The women had seemingly disappeared without leaving behind a trail.

10:04 Speaker 1: The case quickly grew into one of the largest investigations

10:08 Speaker 1: Springfield had ever seen. Hundreds of tips poured into the

10:12 Speaker 1: police department. Some callers claimed they had seen the women

10:16 Speaker 1: in nearby towns. Others reported suspicious vehicles parked near East

10:20 Speaker 1: Delmar Street on the night of June sixth. Every lead

10:24 Speaker 1: was investigated, most ended in disappointment. Detectives began looking closely

10:29 Speaker 1: at the lives of all three women. They wanted to

10:32 Speaker 1: know whether any of them had enemies, received threats, or

10:36 Speaker 1: been involved in situations that could explain their disappearance. Cheryl

10:40 Speaker 1: Levitt had recently gone through a divorce and had just

10:43 Speaker 1: moved into her new home. Friends described her as independent

10:47 Speaker 1: and optimistic. She was decorating the house and looking forward

10:50 Speaker 1: to a fresh start. There was nothing to suggest she

10:53 Speaker 1: planned to leave. Susie Streeter, only nineteen years old, had

10:58 Speaker 1: just graduated from high school, she was excited about the

11:01 Speaker 1: future and had been making plans with friends. Stacy McCall

11:05 Speaker 1: shared those same dreams. Neither young women had packed belongings

11:09 Speaker 1: or hinted at leaving town. Investigators concluded that a voluntary

11:13 Speaker 1: disappearance involving all three women was highly unlikely. Attention then

11:18 Speaker 1: shifted to possible suspects. Detectives questioned acquaintances, former partners, and

11:24 Speaker 1: people who had crossed paths with the women in the

11:26 Speaker 1: days leading up to the disappearance. One of the earliest

11:29 Speaker 1: theories was that someone known to at least one of

11:32 Speaker 1: the women had come to the house. The lack of

11:34 Speaker 1: forced entry suggested they may have opened the door willingly,

11:38 Speaker 1: but there was no evidence proving that theory. Another possibility

11:42 Speaker 1: was that an intruder had entered while the women were asleep. Again,

11:47 Speaker 1: there was no physical evidence to confirm it. The more

11:50 Speaker 1: investigators searched the stranger, the case became three women, one house,

11:56 Speaker 1: no signs of violence, no bodies, no confirmed way witnesses.

12:01 Speaker 1: Then another detail caught investigator's attention. Neighbors reported seeing unfamiliar

12:06 Speaker 1: vehicles in the area around the time of the disappearances.

12:10 Speaker 1: Descriptions varied, and none could be confirmed with certainty. Some

12:14 Speaker 1: mentioned a light colored van, others described different vehicles. Despite

12:20 Speaker 1: extensive follow up, none of the reports produced a suspect.

12:24 Speaker 1: As national media began covering the story, tips flooded in

12:28 Speaker 1: from across the country. Some claimed the women had been

12:31 Speaker 1: spotted alive. Others pointed investigators toward possible suspects. Many leads

12:37 Speaker 1: sounded promising, almost all were eventually ruled out. Each dead

12:42 Speaker 1: end added to the growing frustration. The Springfield three case

12:46 Speaker 1: had become a mystery unlike any investigators had faced before.

12:50 Speaker 1: The evidence was scarce, the theories were numerous, and somewhere

12:55 Speaker 1: hidden behind countless rumors and false leads was the truth

12:58 Speaker 1: about what had happened after after Susie and Stacy walked

13:01 Speaker 1: through the front door in the early hours of June seventh,

13:04 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety two. The answers were out there, but finding

13:08 Speaker 1: them would prove far more difficult than anyone could have imagined.

13:12 Speaker 1: As investigators dug deeper into the lives of the three

13:15 Speaker 1: missing women, they began building profiles of everyone who had

13:19 Speaker 1: been in contact with them during the days leading up

13:22 Speaker 1: to the disappearance. Every friend, every neighbor, every coworker, every

13:27 Speaker 1: former boyfriend. No possibility was ignored. Detectives quickly ruled out

13:32 Speaker 1: the idea that the women had simply run away. Their purses, money, keys,

13:38 Speaker 1: and personal belongings had all been left behind. Cheryl had

13:42 Speaker 1: recently purchased her home and was settling into a new

13:45 Speaker 1: chapter of her life. Susie and Stacy had just celebrated

13:48 Speaker 1: graduating from high school and were making plans for the summer.

13:52 Speaker 1: Nothing suggested they intended to disappear. Attention soon turned to

13:57 Speaker 1: whether someone had targeted one of the women's specific If so,

14:01 Speaker 1: had the other two become unintended victims, or had all

14:04 Speaker 1: three been deliberately taken. Without physical evidence, investigators could not

14:10 Speaker 1: answer either question. Meanwhile, volunteers continued searching fields, wooded areas,

14:16 Speaker 1: abandoned buildings, and nearby lakes. Search dogs were brought in

14:21 Speaker 1: aircraft surveyed remote locations from above. Despite the enormous effort,

14:26 Speaker 1: nothing connected to the women was found. The absence of

14:30 Speaker 1: evidence became one of the case's greatest mysteries. In many disappearances,

14:35 Speaker 1: investigators eventually discover clothing, a vehicle, or another personal item.

14:40 Speaker 1: In this case, there was almost nothing. It was as

14:43 Speaker 1: though the three women had simply vanished into the night.

14:47 Speaker 1: As media coverage intensified, rumors spread throughout Springfield. Some people

14:52 Speaker 1: believed the women had been kidnapped by a stranger. Others

14:56 Speaker 1: suspected someone they knew. A few even suggested organ criminal involvement,

15:01 Speaker 1: but investigators repeatedly emphasized that theories were not evidence. One

15:07 Speaker 1: name that attracted attention was a local man with a

15:09 Speaker 1: violent criminal history who was in the area around the

15:12 Speaker 1: time of the disappearances. Detectives looked into him and other

15:16 Speaker 1: individuals whose backgrounds raised concern. Each lead was investigated carefully,

15:22 Speaker 1: yet none produced enough evidence to bring charges. The investigation

15:26 Speaker 1: remained at a standstill. Then another development complicated the case.

15:31 Speaker 1: Psychics from across the country began contacting law enforcement and

15:35 Speaker 1: the families, claiming they knew where the women were or

15:38 Speaker 1: what had happened to them. Some pointed to rivers, others

15:42 Speaker 1: to farmland or abandoned properties. Investigators followed up on some

15:46 Speaker 1: tips when they could be independently checked, but none led

15:49 Speaker 1: to the missing women. For the families, each false lead

15:53 Speaker 1: brought renewed hope, followed by heartbreak. Weeks became months, months

15:58 Speaker 1: became years. The mystery only deepened. Three women had disappeared

16:03 Speaker 1: from a quiet suburban home. No ransom demand had ever

16:07 Speaker 1: been made, no confirmed sightings had been verified, no bodies

16:11 Speaker 1: had been found, and no one had been arrested. The

16:15 Speaker 1: Springfield three case was no longer just a local investigation.

16:19 Speaker 1: It had become one of America's most baffling unsolved disappearances,

16:24 Speaker 1: leaving detectives with one haunting question. If someone was responsible

16:28 Speaker 1: for taking all three women, how had they managed to

16:31 Speaker 1: leave almost no trace behind. Months passed, but the investigation

16:36 Speaker 1: into the disappearance of Cheryl Levitt, Susie Streeter, and Stacy

16:40 Speaker 1: McCall refused to slow down. Detectives continued chasing every credible lead.

16:46 Speaker 1: Every phone call was documented, every reported sighting was investigated,

16:51 Speaker 1: Every possible suspect was examined. Yet the case remained as

16:55 Speaker 1: mysterious as it had been on the first day. The

16:58 Speaker 1: home on East delm Mar Street had yielded very little

17:01 Speaker 1: physical evidence. Investigators believed the women had most likely been

17:06 Speaker 1: inside the house when whatever happened began, but without signs

17:10 Speaker 1: of a struggle, it was impossible to determine exactly how

17:13 Speaker 1: they had left, or whether they had left voluntarily under threat.

17:17 Speaker 1: One theory suggested the women may have opened the door

17:20 Speaker 1: to someone they knew. If the visitor was familiar, they

17:23 Speaker 1: might have allowed that person inside without hesitation. Another theory

17:27 Speaker 1: proposed that an intruder entered after the women had gone

17:31 Speaker 1: to sleep. Both possibilities were investigated, neither could be proven.

17:36 Speaker 1: As the search widened, detectives received reports from across the country.

17:41 Speaker 1: Some witnesses claimed they had seen three women matching the

17:44 Speaker 1: missing trios descriptions at gas stations, truck stops, or restaurants.

17:49 Speaker 1: Others believed they had seen them traveling in a suspicious van.

17:53 Speaker 1: Each tip was carefully checked, none could be confirmed. Meanwhile,

17:58 Speaker 1: investigators interviewed people who had attended the graduation parties with

18:02 Speaker 1: Susie and Stacy the night before. They wanted to know

18:05 Speaker 1: whether anyone had followed the young women or overheard their

18:09 Speaker 1: last minute change of plans. No witness could provide evidence

18:12 Speaker 1: that someone had targeted them that evening. The sudden decision

18:16 Speaker 1: to stay at Susie's house instead of another friend's home

18:19 Speaker 1: remained one of the case's biggest mysteries. Was it a

18:22 Speaker 1: coincidence or had someone learned of the change unexpectedly. The

18:26 Speaker 1: uncertainty made it difficult to establish a clear motive. Over time,

18:31 Speaker 1: several convicted criminals were examined as potential suspects because they

18:35 Speaker 1: had histories of violent offenses or were known to have

18:38 Speaker 1: been in the Springfield area. Investigators questioned them, compared timelines,

18:43 Speaker 1: and searched for connections to the missing women. Despite public speculation,

18:48 Speaker 1: no one was charged in connection with the disappearances. The

18:51 Speaker 1: evidence simply wasn't there. As the months turned into years,

18:55 Speaker 1: the case officially became a cold case, but cold did

18:59 Speaker 1: not mean for good. The Springfield Police Department continued to

19:03 Speaker 1: keep the investigation open. Detectives revisited evidence as new technology

19:08 Speaker 1: became available. They hoped that a forgotten witness, an overlooked clue,

19:13 Speaker 1: or an advance in forensic science might finally provide the

19:16 Speaker 1: breakthrough they had been waiting for for the families. Hope

19:19 Speaker 1: never disappeared. They continued speaking publicly about Cheryl, Susie, and Stacy.

19:25 Speaker 1: They wanted people to remember that behind the headlines were

19:28 Speaker 1: three women with dreams, families, and futures that ended in mystery. Somewhere,

19:34 Speaker 1: they believed someone knew exactly what had happened inside or

19:38 Speaker 1: just outside that quiet home on East Delmar Street. The

19:42 Speaker 1: silence surrounding that night had lasted for years, but they

19:45 Speaker 1: believed it would not last forever. As the years passed,

19:49 Speaker 1: the disappearance of the Springfield three became one of America's

19:53 Speaker 1: most infamous unsolved mysteries. The investigation had produced thousands of tips,

19:59 Speaker 1: detectives had had interviewed hundreds of people. Entire fields, wooded areas,

20:05 Speaker 1: and abandoned properties had been searched. Yet the most important

20:08 Speaker 1: question remained unanswered. Where were Sheryl Levitt, Susie Streeter and

20:14 Speaker 1: Stacy McCall. With so little physical evidence, investigators began taking

20:19 Speaker 1: a closer look at individuals who might have had the

20:21 Speaker 1: opportunity or the motive to commit such a crime. Several

20:25 Speaker 1: convicted offenders were questioned over the years after rumors connected

20:29 Speaker 1: them to the case. Some claimed to know what had happened.

20:33 Speaker 1: Others made vague or contradictory statements while in prison. Each

20:37 Speaker 1: claim was investigated, none could be verified with evidence. One

20:42 Speaker 1: of the names that frequently surfaced was Robert Craig Cox,

20:45 Speaker 1: a convicted kidnapper and murderer who had been living in

20:48 Speaker 1: the Springfield area in nineteen ninety two. Cox denied involvement

20:52 Speaker 1: in the disappearance. However, investigators considered him a person of

20:57 Speaker 1: interest because of his criminal history and his presence in

21:00 Speaker 1: the area around the time the women vanished. At one point,

21:04 Speaker 1: Cox made cryptic comments suggesting he knew the women were dead,

21:07 Speaker 1: but he refused to provide details. Police were never able

21:11 Speaker 1: to corroborate those statements, and no charges were filed against

21:15 Speaker 1: him in connection with the Springfield three. Another theory suggested

21:19 Speaker 1: that the women had been abducted by more than one person.

21:22 Speaker 1: Some investigators believed it would have been extremely difficult for

21:26 Speaker 1: a single offender to control three adults without leaving signs

21:29 Speaker 1: of a struggle. Others argued that if a weapon had

21:32 Speaker 1: been used, one individual might have been able to force

21:35 Speaker 1: them to comply. Without evidence from the scene, neither theory

21:39 Speaker 1: could be confirmed. The mystery surrounding the broken porch light

21:43 Speaker 1: also continued. Because friends had unknowingly cleaned up the shattered

21:47 Speaker 1: glass before police arrived, investigators lost the opportunity to examine

21:52 Speaker 1: it for fingerprints or other forensic evidence. To this day,

21:56 Speaker 1: no one knows whether the broken globe was connected to

21:59 Speaker 1: the disappearance or was simply an unrelated accident. As time

22:03 Speaker 1: went on, rumors spread throughout Springfield. Some claimed the women

22:07 Speaker 1: had been buried in remote farmland. Others believed they had

22:11 Speaker 1: been taken out of the state. A few even suggested

22:14 Speaker 1: organized criminal involvement. Detectives followed every credible lead they could,

22:20 Speaker 1: None produced the evidence needed to solve the case. For

22:23 Speaker 1: the families, every new rumor brought a mix of hope

22:27 Speaker 1: and disappointment. They wanted answers based on facts, not speculation.

22:31 Speaker 1: They continued urging anyone with genuine information to contact the

22:35 Speaker 1: Springfield Police Department. They believed someone had remained silent for

22:40 Speaker 1: far too long. Somewhere, they said, someone knew what happened

22:44 Speaker 1: during those early morning hours of June seventh, nineteen ninety two.

22:48 Speaker 1: The question was whether that person would ever come forward.

22:51 Speaker 1: As another year passed without an arrest, the Springfield three

22:55 Speaker 1: investigation remained suspended between possibility and mystery. Women had disappeared

23:01 Speaker 1: from a home without a trace, and despite decades of searching,

23:05 Speaker 1: the truth remained hidden in the silence of that summer night.

23:09 Speaker 1: As the investigation entered another decade, the Springfield three case

23:13 Speaker 1: had become more than a local mystery. It was now

23:16 Speaker 1: one of the most discussed unsolved disappearances in America. True

23:20 Speaker 1: crime investigators, journalists, and amateur detectives all searched for the

23:25 Speaker 1: clue that police might have missed. Every few years, a

23:28 Speaker 1: new theory emerged. Every few years, hope returned, but the

23:32 Speaker 1: outcome remained the same. No confirmed evidence, no arrest, no answers.

23:38 Speaker 1: One of the most talked about leads involved an anonymous

23:41 Speaker 1: tip claiming the bodies of the three women had been

23:44 Speaker 1: buried beneath the parking garage at Cox Medical Center South,

23:47 Speaker 1: which was under construction around the time of the disappearances.

23:51 Speaker 1: The claim attracted widespread attention. Some believed it could explain

23:55 Speaker 1: why no trace of the women had ever been found.

23:58 Speaker 1: Investigators were viewed the information carefully. However, there was not

24:03 Speaker 1: enough reliable evidence to justify excavating the entire structure, and

24:08 Speaker 1: no public evidence has confirmed that the women are buried there.

24:11 Speaker 1: The theory remains unproven. Another lead involved reported sightings of

24:16 Speaker 1: a suspicious green van near the neighborhood around the time

24:19 Speaker 1: the women disappeared. Witnesses offered varying descriptions. Detectives investigated the reports,

24:26 Speaker 1: but no evidence conclusively linked any specific vehicle to the crime.

24:30 Speaker 1: As the years passed, advances in forensic science gave investigators

24:35 Speaker 1: renewed hope. Evidence collected in nineteen ninety two was re

24:38 Speaker 1: examined using newer techniques. Items from the house were reviewed again.

24:43 Speaker 1: Detectives hoped modern technology might reveal fingerprints, DNA, or other

24:49 Speaker 1: clues that earlier methods could not detect. Despite these efforts,

24:53 Speaker 1: no breakthrough was publicly announced. The case remained open. Meanwhile,

24:58 Speaker 1: the families of Cheryl, Susie, and Stacy continued to live

25:03 Speaker 1: with uncertainty. Without answers, there could be no closure. Birthdays

25:07 Speaker 1: came and went, holidays passed. Every anniversary of June seventh

25:12 Speaker 1: served as a painful reminder that the women had never

25:15 Speaker 1: returned home. Law enforcement never stopped encouraging the public to

25:19 Speaker 1: come forward with credible information. Investigators believed that someone who

25:24 Speaker 1: lived in Springfield in nineteen ninety two might remember a

25:27 Speaker 1: detail that seemed insignificant at the time, a strange vehicle,

25:31 Speaker 1: an unusual conversation, a person behaving suspiciously after the disappearances. Sometimes,

25:38 Speaker 1: detectives noted cold cases are solved by memories that surface

25:42 Speaker 1: years later. The Springfield three investigation had become exactly that

25:47 Speaker 1: a case waiting for one missing piece, Somewhere, someone knew

25:50 Speaker 1: the truth. Whether it was the person responsible, an eyewitness

25:54 Speaker 1: who had remained silent, or someone who unknowingly held an

25:58 Speaker 1: important clue, Investigata believe the answer still existed. Until that

26:02 Speaker 1: answer was found, The disappearance of Cheryl Levitt, Susie Streeter,

26:07 Speaker 1: and Stacey McCall would remain one of the most haunting

26:10 Speaker 1: mysteries in American criminal history. As the years became decades,

26:14 Speaker 1: the Springfield three investigation entered a new phase. The search

26:18 Speaker 1: was no longer driven only by witness interviews and neighborhood canvasses.

26:23 Speaker 1: It was driven by technology. Detectives revisited old evidence, hoping

26:28 Speaker 1: that advances in forensic science could uncover something that had

26:31 Speaker 1: been impossible to detect. In nineteen ninety two, every item

26:35 Speaker 1: recovered from the house was reviewed again. Investigators looked for

26:39 Speaker 1: fingerprints that might now be identifiable. They searched for DNA

26:44 Speaker 1: that earlier testing methods could not detect. They compared evidence

26:48 Speaker 1: against expanding criminal databases. But despite these advances, no publicly

26:53 Speaker 1: announced breakthrough emerged. The mystery endured. At the same time,

26:59 Speaker 1: independent journalists and true crime Researchers continued examining the case.

27:03 Speaker 1: Some uncovered forgotten interviews, others revisited old witness statements. Many

27:09 Speaker 1: proposed new theories, but investigators consistently emphasized one point, A

27:15 Speaker 1: theory is not the same as evidence. Without verifiable proof,

27:20 Speaker 1: no conclusion could be drawn. The case also remained clouded

27:23 Speaker 1: by rumors. Over the years. Numerous people claimed to know

27:27 Speaker 1: what had happened to Cheryl, Susie and Stacy. Some alleged

27:31 Speaker 1: the women had been buried in remote locations. Others claimed

27:35 Speaker 1: they had been taken across state lines. Every credible tip

27:38 Speaker 1: was investigated, none produced evidence that could solve the case.

27:43 Speaker 1: One challenged detectives faced was the passage of time. Witnesses

27:47 Speaker 1: memories faded, Some people who had been questioned in the

27:51 Speaker 1: early years had since died. Potential evidence may have been

27:55 Speaker 1: lost or destroyed. Yet history had shown that even decades

27:59 Speaker 1: old cases could be solved through persistence. The families never

28:03 Speaker 1: gave up. They continued participating in interviews and public appeals,

28:07 Speaker 1: asking anyone with genuine information to contact the Springfield Police Department.

28:12 Speaker 1: Their message remained simple, no matter how much time has passed,

28:17 Speaker 1: the truth still matters. Investigators also believed it was possible

28:21 Speaker 1: that someone involved in the crime had confided in another

28:24 Speaker 1: person years ago, a family member, a friend, a cellmate,

28:29 Speaker 1: someone who had dismissed the information at the time might

28:32 Speaker 1: now realize its significance. That possibility kept the investigation alive.

28:37 Speaker 1: The Springfield three case became a powerful reminder that unsolved

28:41 Speaker 1: disappearances affect far more than the missing. Families spend years wondering,

28:46 Speaker 1: communities continue asking questions, and investigators keep searching for answers

28:52 Speaker 1: that refused to come. More than thirty years after that

28:55 Speaker 1: summer morning, one fact remained unchanged. Three women had heared

29:00 Speaker 1: from a quiet home on East Delmar Street. No confirmed

29:03 Speaker 1: trace of them had ever been found, and somewhere hidden

29:07 Speaker 1: beneath decades of silence lay the truth investigators had been seeking.

29:12 Speaker 1: Since June nineteen ninety two, more than thirty years after

29:15 Speaker 1: the disappearance of Cheryl Levitt, Susie Streeter, and Stacy McCall,

29:20 Speaker 1: the investigation remained open. The case file had grown to

29:24 Speaker 1: thousands of pages, contained interviews, search records, forensic reports, maps, photographs,

29:32 Speaker 1: and countless tips from people who believed they knew what

29:35 Speaker 1: had happened. Yet none of it had provided the one

29:38 Speaker 1: thing investigators needed most, a definitive answer. Over the years,

29:43 Speaker 1: detectives revisited several persons of interest. Some had criminal histories

29:49 Speaker 1: involving violence, others were connected only through rumors. Each credible

29:54 Speaker 1: lead was examined, but despite decades of investigation, no one

29:59 Speaker 1: was publicly charged urged in connection with the disappearances. The

30:02 Speaker 1: lack of physical evidence continued to frustrate investigators. Without confirmed DNA,

30:08 Speaker 1: a body, or a reliable eyewitness, proving what happened was

30:12 Speaker 1: extraordinarily difficult. Still, the case was never abandoned. Advances in

30:17 Speaker 1: forensic science gave detective's reason to keep reviewing the evidence.

30:21 Speaker 1: Items collected in nineteen ninety two were re examined using

30:25 Speaker 1: modern techniques. Investigators hoped that new methods might reveal a fingerprint,

30:30 Speaker 1: a DNA profile, or another overlooked clue. So far, no

30:35 Speaker 1: publicly announced breakthrough has resulted. Meanwhile, the families of the

30:39 Speaker 1: missing women continued their search for answers. They participated in

30:43 Speaker 1: interviews and documentaries, reminding the public that behind every headline

30:48 Speaker 1: were three people whose lives had suddenly and mysteriously ended.

30:51 Speaker 1: They asked only one thing, If you know something come forward.

30:56 Speaker 1: The case also became a landmark in true crime discussions

30:59 Speaker 1: because of its unusual circumstances. Three adults disappeared from the

31:04 Speaker 1: same home, no obvious signs of a struggle, no confirmed witnesses,

31:09 Speaker 1: no ransom demand, no trace of the victims. Few cases

31:13 Speaker 1: combine so many unanswered questions. Investigators continued to believe that

31:18 Speaker 1: someone somewhere had information that had never reached police. Perhaps

31:23 Speaker 1: someone had seen an unfamiliar vehicle, perhaps someone remembered a

31:27 Speaker 1: strange conversation after the disappearances, or perhaps someone had kept

31:32 Speaker 1: a secret for decades. History has shown that cold cases

31:36 Speaker 1: can be solved many years later when a witness finally

31:38 Speaker 1: decides to speak. That possibility kept hope alive for detectives.

31:44 Speaker 1: Every new tip represented another opportunity for the families. Every

31:49 Speaker 1: passing year was another reminder that they still did not

31:52 Speaker 1: know what happened to Cheryl, Susie, and Stacy. The mystery

31:56 Speaker 1: remained frozen in time. A quiet neighborhood, a summer night,

32:01 Speaker 1: three women, one house, and a disappearance so complete that

32:05 Speaker 1: even after decades, it continues to challenge investigators and haunt

32:09 Speaker 1: everyone who hears the story. As the investigation moved through

32:13 Speaker 1: its third decade, the disappearance of the Springfield three remained

32:17 Speaker 1: one of the oldest active missing person cases in Missouri.

32:21 Speaker 1: Despite the passing years, detectives never officially closed the file. Instead,

32:27 Speaker 1: they continued reviewing evidence whenever new information or advances in

32:31 Speaker 1: forensic science became available. Every few years the case returned

32:35 Speaker 1: to the national spotlight. A television documentary, a newspaper investigation,

32:41 Speaker 1: a true crime podcast. Each brought renewed public interest and

32:45 Speaker 1: another wave of tips. Most were carefully investigated. Most led nowhere,

32:51 Speaker 1: but detectives knew that cold cases are sometimes solved because

32:54 Speaker 1: one person finally remembers or finally decides to speak. The

32:58 Speaker 1: families of Cheryl lay of It, Susie Streeter, and Stacy

33:02 Speaker 1: McCall never stopped hoping. They urged anyone with credible information

33:07 Speaker 1: to contact the Springfield Police Department. Even after decades they

33:12 Speaker 1: believed the truth had not disappeared. Someone still knew what

33:15 Speaker 1: happened During those early hours of June seventh, nineteen ninety two.

33:19 Speaker 1: Investigators also continued evaluating long discussed theories. Could the women

33:25 Speaker 1: have been abducted by someone they knew, did they unknowingly

33:29 Speaker 1: let the offender into the house, or was it the

33:31 Speaker 1: work of a stranger who happened upon them that night.

33:35 Speaker 1: Each theory explained some parts of the mystery. None explained

33:39 Speaker 1: all of it. Without conclusive evidence, Detectives refused to declare

33:44 Speaker 1: any single theory as fact. That caution was important. Over

33:48 Speaker 1: the years, rumors had often spread faster than verified information.

33:53 Speaker 1: Some people claimed to know where the women had been buried.

33:56 Speaker 1: Others accused specific individuals without proof. Investigators repeatedly emphasized that

34:03 Speaker 1: speculation could not replace evidence. The goal was not simply

34:07 Speaker 1: to solve the case, It was to solve it correctly.

34:10 Speaker 1: As technology advanced, forensic experts revisited old evidence once again.

34:16 Speaker 1: Modern DNA testing had solved numerous cold cases across the

34:20 Speaker 1: United States. The hope remained that one overlooked sample or

34:24 Speaker 1: one future scientific breakthrough might finally unlock the Springfield three mystery.

34:29 Speaker 1: For the families, however, the greatest burden was uncertainty. Without answers,

34:34 Speaker 1: there could be no true closure. Every birthday, every holiday,

34:39 Speaker 1: every anniversary served as another reminder of the loved ones

34:42 Speaker 1: who never came home. The Springfield three case had become

34:46 Speaker 1: more than an investigation. It had become a symbol of

34:49 Speaker 1: unanswered questions. Three women vanished from a quiet home. No

34:54 Speaker 1: confirmed trace of them has ever been found, and after

34:57 Speaker 1: all these years, investigators still belie leave the truth existed.

35:01 Speaker 1: It was simply waiting for the one piece of evidence

35:04 Speaker 1: or the one witness that could finally bring the silence

35:07 Speaker 1: to an end. More than three decades had passed since

35:10 Speaker 1: the disappearance of Cheryl Levitt, Susie Streeter, and Stacey McCall.

35:15 Speaker 1: Time had changed. Springfield neighborhoods had grown, businesses had come

35:20 Speaker 1: and gone, New generations had moved into the city, but

35:25 Speaker 1: the mystery of the Springfield Three remained frozen. In the

35:28 Speaker 1: early hours of June seventh, nineteen ninety two, investigators continued

35:32 Speaker 1: to examine every credible lead. The case was never forgotten.

35:36 Speaker 1: Whenever new information surfaced, detectives reviewed it carefully, hoping it

35:41 Speaker 1: would finally provide the breakthrough that had eluded them for decades.

35:45 Speaker 1: Advances in forensic science brought renewed optimism. DNA technology had

35:50 Speaker 1: helped solve many cold cases across the United States. Evidence

35:54 Speaker 1: that once seemed insignificant could now reveal crucial details. The

35:58 Speaker 1: Springfield Three and investigation benefited from these advancements, as detectives

36:03 Speaker 1: revisited preserved evidence. Though no publicly announced breakthrough emerged, the

36:08 Speaker 1: families never stopped asking for answers. They encouraged anyone with

36:12 Speaker 1: knowledge of the case to come forward, no matter how

36:15 Speaker 1: small the detail might seem. Sometimes, investigators explained, a single

36:20 Speaker 1: forgotten memory can unlock an entire investigation. A conversation overheard

36:25 Speaker 1: years ago, a vehicle scene near the neighborhood, a confession

36:30 Speaker 1: made in private, even after decades, those details could still matter.

36:34 Speaker 1: Over the years, numerous books, documentaries, and podcasts explored the disappearance.

36:40 Speaker 1: Each presentation introduced the case to new audiences. With every

36:44 Speaker 1: renewed wave of attention came additional tips. Most were investigated,

36:50 Speaker 1: few could be verified. The mystery remained intact. Investigators continued

36:55 Speaker 1: to emphasize an important point. Many theories had been discussed

36:59 Speaker 1: public Some suggested the women had been targeted. Others believed

37:04 Speaker 1: the crime was random. Some focused on individuals who had

37:08 Speaker 1: been questioned during the investigation, but none of those theories

37:12 Speaker 1: had been proven by publicly available evidence. The official investigation

37:17 Speaker 1: remained guided by facts rather than speculation. For the families,

37:21 Speaker 1: the passage of time did not lessen the pain. Every

37:24 Speaker 1: year without answers was another year without knowing what had

37:28 Speaker 1: happened to their loved ones. Hope, however, remained. History had

37:32 Speaker 1: shown that cold cases can be solved decades later, sometimes

37:36 Speaker 1: through new forensic methods, sometimes through a witness who finally speaks,

37:41 Speaker 1: sometimes through a mistake made by the person responsible. The

37:45 Speaker 1: Springfield three case still held that possibility. Somewhere. Investigators believed

37:51 Speaker 1: someone knew the truth, someone knew why three women vanished

37:55 Speaker 1: from a quiet home without leaving a trace, and until

37:58 Speaker 1: that truth was uncovered, the case would remain one of

38:01 Speaker 1: the most enduring and heartbreaking mysteries in American criminal history.

38:06 Speaker 1: More than thirty years after the disappearance, the Springfield three

38:10 Speaker 1: case remained one of the most perplexing unsolved investigations in

38:14 Speaker 1: the United States. The evidence had been examined countless times,

38:18 Speaker 1: witnesses had been interviewed and re interviewed. Searches had been

38:22 Speaker 1: conducted across Missouri and beyond, Yet the mystery endured. Investigators

38:28 Speaker 1: believed the answer was still out there simply had not

38:31 Speaker 1: been found. Over the years, several cold cases across America

38:36 Speaker 1: were solved after decades of silence. New DNA techniques identified suspects,

38:41 Speaker 1: old witnesses revealed forgotten details. People who had lived with

38:46 Speaker 1: secrets finally chose to speak. Those cases gave the families

38:50 Speaker 1: of Chryl Levitt, Susie Streeter, and Stacy McCall hope that

38:54 Speaker 1: their loved one's disappearance could one day be solved as well.

38:57 Speaker 1: The Springfield Police Department continued to encourage the public to

39:01 Speaker 1: submit credible information, even if a memory seemed insignificant. Investigators

39:07 Speaker 1: wanted to hear it. A suspicious vehicle, an unusual conversation,

39:12 Speaker 1: someone who suddenly left town after June nineteen ninety two.

39:15 Speaker 1: Any detail could become the missing piece of the puzzle.

39:19 Speaker 1: The case had also become a lesson in the importance

39:22 Speaker 1: of protecting crime scenes. Before police arrived on the morning

39:25 Speaker 1: the women were reported missing, friends and family had unknowingly

39:29 Speaker 1: entered the house, answered the telephone, cleaned up broken glass

39:33 Speaker 1: from the porch light, and moved through rooms that might

39:36 Speaker 1: have contained valuable evidence. They acted with good intentions, believing

39:41 Speaker 1: the women had simply stepped out. No one realized they

39:44 Speaker 1: might be disturbing the scene of a major criminal investigation.

39:48 Speaker 1: Detectives have never publicly stated that those actions prevented the

39:52 Speaker 1: case from being solved. However, they highlighted how critical the

39:56 Speaker 1: earliest moments of an investigation can be for the family.

40:00 Speaker 1: Speculation offered little comfort. They had heard hundreds of theories

40:04 Speaker 1: over the years. Some sounded convincing, others were clearly impossible,

40:10 Speaker 1: but without evidence, none could answer the one question they

40:13 Speaker 1: had lived with since June seventh, nineteen ninety two. What

40:16 Speaker 1: happened to Cheryl, Susie and Stacy. That question remained unanswered.

40:22 Speaker 1: Somewhere beyond the rumors and false leads lay the truth,

40:25 Speaker 1: whether it rested and forgotten evidence, an overlooked witness, or

40:29 Speaker 1: the memory of someone who had remained silent for decades.

40:33 Speaker 1: Investigators believed it still existed until it was found. The

40:37 Speaker 1: Springfield three would remain one of America's most haunting unsolved disappearances,

40:42 Speaker 1: a case where three women vanished in a single night,

40:45 Speaker 1: leaving behind only silence, unanswered questions, and a mystery that

40:50 Speaker 1: has refused to fade. More than three decades after that

40:53 Speaker 1: quiet summer night, the disappearance of Cheryl Levitt, Susie Streeter,

40:58 Speaker 1: and Stacy McCall remained and one of the most enduring

41:01 Speaker 1: mysteries in American true crime. The case was still open.

41:05 Speaker 1: It had never been forgotten. Detectives continued to review new

41:08 Speaker 1: tips whenever they arrived, knowing that even after many years,

41:13 Speaker 1: a single piece of credible information could change everything. The

41:17 Speaker 1: families never stopped searching for answers. Although time had passed,

41:21 Speaker 1: the pain of not knowing remained. Without knowing what happened,

41:25 Speaker 1: there could be no real closure. They continued to honor

41:28 Speaker 1: the memories of Cheryl, Susie, and Stacy, while hoping that

41:32 Speaker 1: someone somewhere would finally reveal the truth. The disappearance also

41:38 Speaker 1: became a powerful reminder of how fragile ordinary life can be.

41:42 Speaker 1: One evening, two teenagers celebrated their high school graduation with friends.

41:47 Speaker 1: A mother spent a quiet night at home. By sunrise,

41:50 Speaker 1: all three had vanished. No confirmed struggle, no clear suspect,

41:55 Speaker 1: no explanation. Investigators repeatedly stressed that the case should be

42:00 Speaker 1: guided by evidence, not rumors. Over the years, countless theories

42:05 Speaker 1: had circulated. Some focused on known criminals. Others claimed the

42:09 Speaker 1: women had been buried in secret locations. Many stories spread

42:14 Speaker 1: through books, television programs, and the Internet. Yet none of

42:18 Speaker 1: those theories have been publicly proven. The official investigation continued

42:22 Speaker 1: to rely on verified facts. As forensic science advanced, hope remained.

42:28 Speaker 1: Across the United States, cold cases that once seemed impossible

42:32 Speaker 1: to solve had been reopened through improved DNA testing, digital analysis,

42:37 Speaker 1: and witness cooperation. The Springfield three investigation could still benefit

42:41 Speaker 1: from future breakthroughs. That possibility kept the case alive. Law

42:46 Speaker 1: enforcement continued encouraging anyone with credible information to contact the

42:51 Speaker 1: Springfield Police Department. Investigators believed the answer might still exist

42:56 Speaker 1: in someone's memory, a conversation overheard years ago, an unusual

43:00 Speaker 1: event that suddenly made sense, or a person who had

43:04 Speaker 1: carried a secret for far too long. For the families,

43:07 Speaker 1: justice was not about revenge. It was about truth. They

43:11 Speaker 1: wanted to know what happened to their loved ones. They

43:14 Speaker 1: wanted answers supported by evidence, and they wanted the mystery

43:18 Speaker 1: that had haunted them for decades to finally come to

43:21 Speaker 1: an end. Because at the center of this extraordinary case

43:24 Speaker 1: were not just headlines or theories. They were three real women,

43:29 Speaker 1: three lives, three families still waiting for the day when

43:33 Speaker 1: silence would finally give way to the truth. On the

43:36 Speaker 1: morning of June seventh, nineteen ninety two, three women disappeared

43:40 Speaker 1: from a quiet home in Springfield, Missouri, Cheryl Levitt, Susie Streeter,

43:46 Speaker 1: Stacy McCall. Their purses remained inside the house, their cars

43:51 Speaker 1: were parked outside. The family dog was left behind. There

43:55 Speaker 1: were no obvious signs of a struggle, no ransom demand,

43:59 Speaker 1: no confirmed eyewitness, and despite one of the largest investigations

44:03 Speaker 1: in Missouri's history, no one has ever been charged with

44:07 Speaker 1: their disappearance. Over the years, investigators followed thousands of tips.

44:12 Speaker 1: They questioned persons of interest. They searched fields, forests, lakes,

44:18 Speaker 1: abandoned buildings, and remote properties. They revisited the evidence using

44:23 Speaker 1: newer forensic techniques. Still, no confirmed trace of the three

44:27 Speaker 1: women has ever been found. The case became one of

44:30 Speaker 1: America's most haunting unsolved mysteries. It has inspired documentaries, books, podcasts,

44:37 Speaker 1: and countless discussions among investigators and true crime enthusiasts. Yet,

44:42 Speaker 1: after decades of speculation, one fact remains unchanged. No publicly

44:47 Speaker 1: available evidence has conclusively explained what happened inside or just

44:51 Speaker 1: outside the home on East Delmar Street that summer night.

44:55 Speaker 1: For the families, the pain has never been about the

44:58 Speaker 1: publicity it has always been about the absence. Birthdays passed

45:03 Speaker 1: without celebrations, holidays came and went with empty chairs at

45:07 Speaker 1: the table. Every anniversary brought the same unanswered question, what

45:12 Speaker 1: happened to Cheryl, Susie and Stacy. Investigators continue to believe

45:17 Speaker 1: that someone knows the truth. Perhaps it is a witness

45:20 Speaker 1: who has remained silent, Perhaps it is someone who was

45:24 Speaker 1: told a secret years ago, or perhaps future advances in

45:27 Speaker 1: forensic science will reveal evidence that today's technology has not

45:31 Speaker 1: yet uncovered. History has shown that cold cases can be

45:35 Speaker 1: solved decades later. Justice is sometimes delayed, but it is

45:39 Speaker 1: not always denied until that day comes. The Springfield three

45:44 Speaker 1: case remains open, a reminder that even in the quietest neighborhoods,

45:49 Speaker 1: mysteries can endure for generations. Three women left behind everything

45:53 Speaker 1: that mattered, a home, family, future, and a mystery that

45:58 Speaker 1: continues to challenge in investigators more than thirty years later.

46:02 Speaker 1: Perhaps one day the silence will end, perhaps one witness

46:06 Speaker 1: will finally speak, Perhaps one overlooked clue will unlock the truth.

46:11 Speaker 1: Until then, the disappearance of the Springfield three remains one

46:15 Speaker 1: of the most chilling and heartbreaking unsolved cases in American history,
