Basic Information
Over 8 years ago, I put together a bit of a timeline, based on the police report and various media reports. It may provide a starting point for those who want an updated timeline. The original file has formatting problems. I've cleaned that up, added white space and bolded times. Nothing here outside of the police report is verifiably true, since decades-old media reports can be and will be incomplete and inaccurate. But this list reflects what was in the police report and mainstream media accounts:
I put this together for submission to the old forensic astrology thread. I would also say that Robert Cox was then and still remains a top suspect on my list.
Timeline, taken from police report unless otherwise stated:

Report states nothing in the house seemed to indicate a struggle.& Janis McCall was concerned that Stacy would not leave without her purse and medication for migraine headaches and depression. Officer Gault and [the reporting officer] were advised by the subjects present that they had already cleaned up the glass and looked into purses and around the residence prior to our arrival. Stacy’s clothes and jewelry are found in Suzie’s room, with Suzie's overnight bag.
Possible later sightings
June 7: Between 1 and 3 a.m. at George’s Steakhouse [disputed and usually discounted.]
Around sunrise, someone looking like Suzie seen driving a van.
Other events as reported in the media:
The girls had
originally intended to drive to Branson the night of June 6 and spend the night in a hotel. They changed their minds. Stacy called her mother to say that she was staying at the Kirby house.
A server at George’s Steakhouse reported seeing the women
between 1 and 3 am on June 7. The three arrived and departed together. Suzie appeared to be drunk and the women were with three men. Police received 3 calls about this sighting.
Janis McCall calls the Kirby house, speaks to Janelle’s sister and learns that Stacy stayed at Suzie’s house. She calls Suzie’s house and leaves message on the answering machine for Stacy to call her. Janis continues to leave messages on Sherrill and Suzie’s machine.
Sherrill’s Yorkshire terrier Cinnamon was in the house when Kirby and Henson arrived.
Suzie’s overnight bag was with the purses. [I don’t know where I saw this; I recall a big debate about this a few years ago on an earlier thread.]
Someone erases an
obscene call received Friday, June 5 and recorded on the answering machine. Kirby and Henson hear
two other such calls on Sunday June 7 while they are in the house.
A van (moss-green, blue or dirty brown) with a girl who looked like Suzie who
looked scared was
reportedly seen after sunrise on Sunday, June 7.
Suzie was scheduled to testify in a trial against three people, including her former boyfriend, involved in robbing graves.
Robert Craig Cox, in prison in Texas, has been questioned about involvement in the killings. He was once on death row in Florida for rape and murder of a young woman but released when he won an appeal. He was living in Springfield at the time of the disappearances.
