MO - Sherrill Levitt, 47, Suzie Streeter, 19, & Stacy McCall, 18, Springfield, 7 June 1992 #11

I remember exactly when this occurred. I recall exactly what I was doing. I remember how spooked I was, really spooked, and how horrified. My first name and Sherrill's are exactly the same. This is one of the cases that brought me to Websleuths. I don't really have any more insight or knowledge than anyone else here. I've wanted this case solved for a very long time. I don't care if I'm right or totally off base. What I want more than anything is that these people are found. We can go from there.

When Suzie lived with him their lives would have intersected in a way living with a parental unit wouldn't. My ex had some creepy friends one lurked around his apt everytime his sister was their alone. She was 17 maybe 18 the guy was at least 10 years older he had a girlfriend and 3 kids. One day he showed up at the back door and was surprised to see me there too. My ex has drug issues and just being around him or at his apt introduced you to shady characters.

This makes sense to me, having experienced similar circumstances. I'm open to that idea.

This could apply to anyone that had some connection to someone that knew one or more of the women.

It became name calling and accusations and it stopped being a discussion. Instead of talking about things or making him think about stuff that seemed normal but as an adult wouldn't be, he had to defend himself and his wife and even Suzie.

i stepped away as it started getting ugly.
imo the desired outcome was achieved.
I will leave it at that.

glad there is some interest and brain storming again

I think this case is solvable. This case when I heard about seemed like something you could barely believe happened. Three people vanishing like they were abducted by aliens mid-bedtime routine. Two of them girls that had just graduated and should have had their whole lives in front of them. I also felt like Suzie and her mom were treated unfairly, like they did something to cause the disappearances.
I think people might have answers and not realize it. Friends might have neglected details thinking they didn't matter so why mention [fill in the blank].

Michael Clay did clear up how some people perceived Suzie. Her freedom made her seem like a party girl, when in fact she wasn't a drinker or into pot. I don't think she was some wild bad influence on her friends.

Cherrymeg, I know you have worked for this case to it get profiled again on national TV. While I feared that wouldn't happen, I admire your dedication and your efforts. That these poor victims are recovered is, first and foremost, all of our greatest wish. Off topic, but not really, I think our ladies would appreciate you keeping them in focus. I know that I do.

That's interesting about that screen. I had never heard about this before. Someone on here had also mentioned that they didn't believe the cars were parked in their usual spots. possibly because another car was parked there. That would mean someone was already there before the girls drove there.

The media reported that a witness, and I think they stated one of their friends, or someone in the neighborhood, or it was possibly the paper delivery person, that said that their cars had been parked differently earlier in the morning, then they did later that morning when they were discovered missing, or......after the police were called. I can't remember which ones it was off the top of my head.

so true cherrymeg
I am the same age as suz and stace and at that time we missed so many great memories because it was still not an everyday thing in the early 90s to have a camera handy!!!
I'm sure there would be some but in todays times that grad night would have been so well captured we likely wouldn't have this thread.

If you don't mind trying to answer a question, when the crime occurred, and I mean with in the first two weeks or so......ish.......what was the "Buzz" in your pier group?
Reason I ask is, I've often wondered if there was and stories going around people that were their age, or around town in general?

I always though that if we knew some of the things people of that age group were hearing at the time in their circles and around the town, it may help point the case in a more specific direction

I just can't believe there there weren't some prevalent or reoccurring themes or stories, or things people had heard, rolling around people of their age group.

A lot of people have said that the PFI rumor surfaced early after the crime occurred, among'st various circles around town??

I think someone needs to go back and look at the graduation party timeline. When someone is missing you don't want to upset their parents by talking about things only friends would talk about especially when they come back the next day and you seem like a snitch. After 25 every detail matters. People are still alive now, but they might have a different perspective on things as adults. This is the time to get answers.

I know a paperboy said something about a van on the street. A friend of Suzie's and Sherrill's I think mentioned that the cars were usually parked differently. You might be right.

So were you just making a reference to "Your Childhood", as opposed to actually living in Springfield and knowing the girls. I guess I misunderstood what you were stating. Sorry.

yes
only connection same vintage.

 

[OzarksTrailBlazer]

The photos being removed is very strange. Any thoughts on that?

My thought: someone who knew about the house and where they were had something to do with it. If true.

 

[k-mac]

Let’s not forget it was Dusty who had knowledge of the Delmar house (of POIs that we know) when they only lived there two months.

It was Joe who broke into homes in the area to steal various things when he wasn’t with Mike and Dusty.

I’m not saying Mike and Dusty did it. So stop putting words in my mouth CherryMeg.

They are uncleared suspects. Just because Mike and his wife charmed you on here doesn’t mean they aren’t guilty. In fact it tells me almost the opposite of anything. It sounded like they were playing the board. Or maybe he’s feeling guilty about something on his conscience to come on here after all these years...

well its all possibilities at the end of the day and should be a rational topic of discussion here.
as I said in a previous post imo the desired outcome from their presence was achieved.

It also calls into question, why did they "Walk back from Joy's party, almost 2-miles to Janelles, in the middle of the night to get their cars, instead of SA driving them back. He stated that he watched them walk to their cars, and that was the last time he ever saw them. And then Janelle went back into her house. So what, did SA just turn around and walk back almost 2-miles to his Jeep alone in the dark
This makes no sense, and never has. It also doesn't make any sense why one of the girls would just leave and not give him a ride back to his car. He wasn't hanging out with JK at that time.....she went into the house. Again, the story makes no sense.

You are right. That's a very hard story to believe. Maybe someone needs to chat with those people again. Also, up to this point, I have never seen it mentioned that anyone Positively saw the girls drive their vehicles from that last party.

There are a lot of weird things or people behaving suspiciously. I think re-questioning people at parties and that entered the house the next day would be a start. Teenagers might have lied about things to protect themselves or because they thought they were protecting their friends. Maybe they knew about sneaking out or meeting older guys or minor drug use or something that would have upset parents but wouldn't have been illegal. After 25 years things you think are serious as a kid you realize are minor on the scale of things. Does that make sense?
It's important to figure out if the weird behavior was harmless or sinister.

<modsnip: quoted post was removed>

I think Mike Clay offered some good insights on Suzie. Suzie doesn't have a lot of people defending her or her character. He mom disappeared. Her brother is less than credible. Saying no one is ruled out. is not the same as being an official suspect or person of interest.
You want this solved and you want answers. Can you try and be open minded? Talk about your theories. People will listen.
