117: MISSING: The Springfield Three

At around 2:15 am on June 7, 1992, 18-year-old Stacy McCall and 19-year-old Suzie Streeter returned to Suzie’s home in Springfield, Missouri after a night of graduation celebrations. Suzie’s mother, Sherill Levitt, was already inside. Hours later, at 8:00 am, a friend called to finalize their plans for the day, but no one answered. When she went to the house, Stacy, Suzie, and Sherill’s cars were all in the driveway, their purses and belongings were inside, and the dog was there - but Sherill, Suzie, and Stacy were gone. Detectives quickly determined they had been abducted. An exhaustive investigation followed, with nonstop media attention. Despite this, no sign of the women was ever found. Thirty-three years later, Sherill Levitt, Suzie Streeter, and Stacy McCall are still missing, and the question remains: what happened to the Springfield Three? **If you have any information in this case, please call the Springfield Police Department at 417-864-1810 or Crime Stoppers at 417-869-8477.

On the night of December 4, 1998, 21-year-old Yale senior Suzanne Jovin left her apartment to return a carpool key to the campus police office. She told a classmate she planned to go home afterward and get some rest. Just over 30 minutes later, Suzanne was found stabbed to death nearly two miles away on a street corner in a wealthy neighborhood. Detectives determined she could not have walked there in the time available, leading them to believe she had been driven to the location by someone she knew. Despite multiple investigative efforts, that person has never been identified and no one has ever been charged with Suzanne’s murder. More than 25 years later, her case remains unsolved, and the question still lingers: who killed Suzanne Jovin? **21-year-old Suzanne Jovin was last seen around 9:25 p.m. on December 4, 1998, walking near Phelps Gate on Yale’s campus in New Haven, Connecticut. Anyone with information about Suzanne’s case is asked to contact the Jovin Investigation Team Tip Line at 866-623-8058 or email [email protected].

But Tracy was nowhere to be found. Sixteen years later, she is still missing, leaving her community asking the same question: where is Tracy Ocasio? *On the night of May 26, 2009, 27-year-old Tracy Ocasio watched the Orlando Magic game at the Tap Room in Orlando, Florida and left around 1:30 a.m. She never made it home, and her mother discovered she was missing the next morning.

On January 26, 2011, 27-year-old Ellen Greenberg left work early when a snowstorm hit Philadelphia. She stopped for gas on her way home, then spent the afternoon grading papers in the apartment she shared with her fiancé, Sam. That evening, Sam called 911 to report that he had found Ellen in the kitchen with a knife in her chest. She had been stabbed twenty times, including multiple wounds to the back of her head and neck. At first, the Medical Examiner ruled her death a homicide. But weeks later, the ruling was changed to suicide, shocking many. Ellen’s parents have spent more than a decade fighting that decision, convinced their daughter didn’t take her own life, and that the truth about what happened to her is still being covered up.

At around 3:45 a.m. on October 4, 2011, Jeremy Irwin came home from a late-night electrical job to find the front door unlocked and the lights still on inside his Kansas City home. As he walked through the house, turning off lights and checking on his children, he made a chilling discovery - his nearly eleven-month-old daughter, Lisa, was gone. Lisa had been last seen the night before, at around 6:40 p.m., when her mother, Deborah Bradley, said she put her to bed in her crib. Within those nine hours, Lisa vanished without a trace. In the days that followed, detectives found burned baby clothes in a nearby dumpster, and multiple people reported seeing a man walking with a baby in the middle of the night near the Irwin home. But Lisa was never found. More than fourteen years later, her disappearance remains one of Kansas City’s most haunting unsolved cases, leaving everyone asking: what happened to Baby Lisa ? If anyone has information about this case, please call Kansas City CrimeStoppers at 1-816-474-8477. There is a $100,000 reward available.

On September 23, 1998, 19-year-old Amber Wilde, a college student who was four and a half months pregnant, called her father after getting into a minor car accident near the University of Wisconsin at Green Bay.  Later that evening, she spoke to him one last time from her apartment landline, but the next day she never showed up for class or a doctor’s appointment. A week later, her car was found abandoned near Lambeau Field, with her keys inside and her purse locked in the trunk. But Amber was nowhere to be found. More than twenty-seven years later, Amber’s disappearance remains unsolved. Detectives believe she was murdered, but without her body, they’ve never been able to prove it. Her family is still searching, waiting for the answers that will finally bring Amber home.
