I'm a fricking liar. Okay. Look, here's what I decided to do. I love doing Murder, Mystery and Makeup. Please don't ever think otherwise. I love Murder, Mystery and Makeup, and I will keep doing it until fricking, I don't know. Till I just, I don't
know yet, but I love it. So I decided that I'm going
to be taking September off. Just taking a little break and
I'll be back on October 4th with Murder, Mystery, Makeup. Dark History will continue to upload wherever you listen to
podcasts on Wednesdays. And then the video
version will be uploaded on my YouTube every
Thursday, if you don't know, 'cause I don't even think
I've talked about it here on Murder, Mystery and Makeup. But I started another
series called Dark History. It's like Murder, Mystery and Makeup, except it's murder, mystery and history. Yeah. It's so fun. No makeup though. I mean I'm wearing makeup, but
like it's more storytelling. The reason I started this series was because while researching true crime, I always came across
stories throughout history that I wanted to talk
about here on Monday. But because they were
more like history focused, I felt like kinda like
didn't belong in a way. So I've been wanting to start a new series that was essentially
stories throughout history that at least I never
learned about in school. 'Cause let me tell you, history is wild. Okay? Wild. We kinda got off to a
rocky start at first, but I'm finding my groove in it and getting way more
comfortable, at least I think so. My whole goal with the series was to talk about lesser known
stories throughout history, but make it realistic
for the everyday person to understand, 'cause have
you ever read a history book and you're like, what kind of language are they speaking? I don't know what I just read. I know not everyone's
gonna relate to that, but that's how I felt a lot of the times. Well, I wanted Dark History
to be kind of like this, as I sit down and I
tell you what I learned. 'Cause let me tell you,
it's fricking fascinating. So on Dark History, we've partnered with historians
and specialists in the field for each episode who helps
us tell the real stories and no sugarcoating things. It's been an incredible experience and I've been learning so much. So if you're interested in that, you can find the Dark History
podcast every Wednesday, wherever you listen to podcasts. And I upload the video version on Thursday here on my YouTube for those of you who are
more of a visual person like myself. If you wanna watch the video version. So those will still be going
up throughout September. Murder, Mystery and Makeup
just will take a little pause, pause like puppy pause. I'm gonna snuggle my dog
and I read some books. I just need to take some deep breaths. I really appreciate all the loving support you guys have thrown my way. It really means more than you know, and I can't say that enough. I so really appreciate you and I really hope that we
can meet in person some day. And I don't ever want
you to think otherwise that I don't appreciate
you, 'cause without you, I wouldn't be here. You know? So I'm going to take a break and just not think about murder for a bit 'cause my life is consumed by murder. And then I'm gonna come back October 4th and jump right into Halloween, 'cause I got some, I got some ideas for Halloween. Okay? So, thank you for understanding. I know most of you will. I know some of you will be very upset and leaving some nasty comments, but I guess that's how
it is on the internet. I don't know. As long as I'm content with myself, are you contented with yourself Bailey? Yeah. Okay. Great. So I'll stop yip yapping and
let's get into today's story. This one has been highly requested and it honestly drove me nuts because I don't like unsolved stories. This one, it is unsolved. I know. Ugh! I hate them. If you're ever curious
to know what I'm using, I will list it down in the
description box down below. But other than that, I will,
again, get into the story. Thank you. So today's story takes place
in Springfield Missouri, in June of 1992. Now, like many kids in June, it's graduation day for the students over at Kickapoo High School. So, the kids are all excited and many are waiting for
this day for so long. And they're just excited to, you know, when you're graduating, you're just excited to
get out of high school and start like that new chapter in life. But at first, a lot of the
students after graduation, what do they wanna do? They wanna party. There's lots of parties
after graduation going on, and you know how high school parties are. Honestly, nothing good happens, but hey, whatever, time to celebrate, you know? Within the graduating class,
there were two good friends, Stacy McCall and Suzie Streeter. Yes. There's a lot of s's in this
name too, which doesn't matter, but it was kind of throwing me off. So Stacy is 18, and it
was said that she was fun, she's bubbly, she had
a great sense of humor. She hung out with a lot of
the class clowns it seemed and she loved to joke around, have fun. She just seemed like an all
around fun person to be around. It was said that she was very good looking and she did a couple of like modeling gigs for a local wedding shop. But after high school,
she was ready to graduate and go to Missouri State University. Suzie, now, Suzie was 19. She's also similar to Stacy. It was said she was very outspoken, she's outgoing, she was
super fun to be around, and seemed like a genuinely happy person. Suzie was said to be one to
hang out with the popular crowd, even dating one of the
high school "bad boys". I'm rolling my eyes
'cause it's like, well, yeah, okay, yeah, bad
boys in class (chuckles) it plays later on, it
makes sense, I guess. I just don't like bad boys, whatever. Children with problems? Anywho, it doesn't matter. She was dating one of
the high school bad boys, but Suzie herself, she
stayed out of trouble. You know, though, they're just
teenagers being teenagers. Some of Suzie's friends would tease her because she was like a creature of habit. I guess that's hilarious. (laughs) I'm laughing because like
it's not, but I get it 'cause when you're a teenager, people just pick on you for anything. But she was a creature of habit. She liked a routine. Suzie did. She liked your routine. And some of her friends believed that she may have had like OCD tendencies, cannot confirm or deny, but that's what her friends
kind of were thinking. After high school, Suzie, she wanted to follow
in her mom's footsteps and become a hairdresser. So there were a lot of
things going on this night. There were a lot of parties all around. Many people were heading
to Branson, Missouri, and they were gonna stay the
night out there at a hotel. And everyone was gonna celebrate
at the hotel and party. And then the next day they're gonna head to the local water park. It was called Whitewater. So party at the hotel,
wake up, go to Whitewater and celebrate there with
all the friends and stuff. You know? So Stacy and Suzie were gonna do this. They were gonna go out to the hotel, then join everybody at the water park. Great. But at the last minute they
decided to change their minds. They decide to head to another
friends of theirs house. Her name was Jenelle Kirby. Stacy calls her mom at
10:30 p.m to let her know that the plans had changed. Okay? So Stacy and Suzie are
hanging out together. She calls up her mom, she's like, hey mom, I'm not going to the hotel anymore. I'm going to Janelle's 'cause she's having like
a little party over there. And then tomorrow I'm
gonna go to the water park. So her mom was like, great. Have fun. Call me in the morning before
you head to the water park. Just so I know you're safe
and all that, you know, mom's gonna check in. So Stacy and Suzie, they
head over to Janelle's house where her neighbor was
having a graduation party of some sorts. It was said that it was crowded and it seemed to be a lot of fun. So, they had stayed up
until around like 2:00 a.m and then Stacy and
Suzie decided like, hey, we should probably go to bed
because we got to wake up early and head to the water park. So Stacy and Suzie go
inside of Janelle's house. And they plan on staying the night there, but they're like, oh, it's too crowded. We can't stay here. I guess Janelle's family, like
a bunch of her family members had come into town. She didn't know they
were coming into town, but there was no room for
Stacy and Suzie to crash. So they were like, okay, where do we go? So they decide like, let's go to Suzie's house
and sleep there instead. So they go to their friend
Janelle and they're like hey, we're heading out, but we'll
be back in the morning, so we can all head to
the water park together, pick her up, go together, you know? And Janelle's like, great. See you then. So the girls had over to
1717 East Delmar Street where Suzie lived with
her mom, Sherrill Levitt. So, we've got Stacy, Suzie and Sherrill. Sherrill and her daughter, Suzie, they had recently moved into this home, I guess like Suzie's parents had divorced and the two, her mom and Suzie,
they moved into the house. They were still kind of like
settling in, it seemed like. It was said that Sherrill,
the mom, she was 47 years old (chuckles) and I'm laughing because I
was watching some interviews trying to get an idea of like
who Sherrill was, you know? And most of the time in
a story like today's, people are like, oh, so-and-so lit up a room
when she walked inside and her smile would turn
anyone's day around. Like they were just amazing as a person. Well, (chuckles) it's awkward. It's awkward because Sherrill's sister, in a later interview would describe her as "a pretty fierce lady that
didn't do a lot of half measures in her life". So yeah. I really sat with that for a while. I was like, what does that mean? Half measures in her life? Huh? What does that even mean? I don't get it. Most of the time you get like, all their smile lit up a room. And the way she said it was
like very straightforward, like, no, like... I just don't know what that meant. I really sat with that for like a while and couldn't figure out what
she was getting out there. Half measures in her life. I'm sure someone will let me
know down below, I can't wait. Sherrill, she also worked as a hairstylist at one of the local salons. So the two of them drive
over to Suzie's house. Okay? They change out of their clothes, they wash off their makeup
and then they head to bed. Here's where the mystery comes in. So the next morning, it's 8:00 a.m. Janelle is calling Suzie. She's calling her house, again 8:00 a.m, but nobody's picking up the phone. Nothing, goes to voicemail. Okay, weird. Suzie and Stacy were supposed
to head over to Janelle's that morning to go to the water park and everyone is kind of
like waiting for them so they can all head out. So Janelle ends up calling again. Again, no answer. So Janelle was thinking like,
okay, I bet they slept in, right? I mean, they had a late night last night and they probably just don't
hear the phone ringing. Makes sense. So Janelle and her boyfriend, they decide to drive over to Suzie's house and it's around 9:00 a.m when they arrive, when they get there. So when Janelle and her boyfriend
pull up to Suzie's house, they see that all three of
their cars are out-front in the driveway. So again, they must be home. All their cars are there. It looks like everybody's home. Great. This is a random side note. But remember, I don't know
if you know, but it's 1992. Okay? No cell phones. Remember, no cell phones. This is a time when people, people back then before cell phones, they would just show up to your house. Oh yeah. Let me tell you, it was a different time. People would just show
up, knock, knock, knock. And you're like, oh, hi. It sounds awful, but
honestly kinda miss it. (laughs) Anyways. So no cell phones, great. So they go to the house, they see all the cars. So Janelle and her boyfriend, Mike, they walk up to the front door. And the first thing that they notice is that the front porch
light, it was broken and there was glass all over the floor. But the weird thing was,
or is, I don't know. The weird thing was, is (chuckles)... The weird thing was that the
porch light itself was broken, but not the bulb inside. Do you know what I'm saying? Like just the outer part was
broken, but not the bulb. And that was something that was noted. Weird, but more annoying because Janelle said that she wasn't wearing
any shoe, she was barefoot. So she was just more like worried that she was gonna step on glass. So it was said that the
boyfriend, Janelle's boyfriend, his name is Mike, he makes a makeshift broom and is able to sweep up the glass. They haven't even gotten to the door yet. They saw the glass just sweeping it up. Super nice. My question here, because I was trying to figure this out, was, I don't know how he, the boyfriend, had like a broom on deck or
where the said broom came from, because it said that he
swept it up with a broom. And in my mind I was
thinking it would make sense if it was a makeshift broom, like if you have like two
pieces of cardboard in your car or something, you know like. So I was like, maybe it was
a makeshift broom, but all, a lot of reports said he grabbed a broom and swept up the glass. Either way, I don't know
if it matters or not, but that part to me, I just, I get fixated on the weird stuff. Right. I was like, where did
this broom come from? But he swept up the glass. So after doing so, which honestly was nice, but
crime scene, so not good. So after he swept it up,
he goes to the front door, knock, knock, knock, no answer. And then they realize that
the front door was unlocked. So the door is unlocked and
the two of them go inside. They start looking around the house. Now the house itself was pretty quiet. The TV was left on, which was weird. I guess it was left on like
when those static channels were just like the white, black and white, you know what I'm talking about? Hopefully you know. So the TV was left on. And then they see Sherrill's dog. His name is Cinnamon. He comes walking into the living room and he seems very anxious. Little Cinnamon is very anxious. He just wants to like be helped. And they're like, okay. They said that they didn't
see anything unusual, but something felt off. And you know how that is. I'm just saying like, you
know our feelings, man. Sometimes they don't
make any sense, but man, are we little weirdos? I don't know. So they're saying they felt something, something felt off. So the two of them are
looking around the house and they come across all
three of the ladies purses, jewelry, and makeup at the house. Now to Janelle and her boyfriend, it meant like, oh, they must
have literally just been here, but the house was empty. So it was like, okay, we
must have just missed them. So other than the light
fixture outside being broken, there was really like
no signs of a struggle. It was just weird vibes inside. Janelle would say later on
that she honestly thought that the girls just must've
like headed out to the park, the water park, already at that point. And they just must've
like missed each other. So Janelle and her boyfriend,
they decide like, okay, let's just head to the park. They're probably already there. And we'll probably run into
like Suzie and Stacy, you know? So while they are walking
out to the front door, the phone rings. The phone rings. Janelle answers the phone. Now, on the other end
of the phone was a man she didn't know. And whoever it was was saying
a bunch of sexual innuendos. Yeah. I couldn't figure out like
what I'm thinking matters. It was just said sexual innuendos. It was enough to gross Janelle out. And she just hangs up the phone. She was like, click. Not long after she hangs
up, the phone rings again. And this time Janelle says
that she kind of hesitated a little bit more. She was like, I don't know
if I wanna answer this, but she ends up picking it up again. And it's a man on the other end, just saying all sorts of
like freak nasty stuff. Janelle said she gets grossed out, she's like, and then hangs up. At this moment, Janelle said that she had
like a light bulb moment. She had remembered not long ago, Suzie had mentioned that she
was getting weird prank calls. Is it prank calls or
crank calls by the way? I should have looked at, I really don't know
'cause I've heard both. And I don't, I always say prank. So Janelle was like, yeah, that was weird. That must have been like
the prank call, I guess. I don't know. She doesn't think much about it. And then she decides to
head out and go catch up with their friends at the water park. So they leave. Now I know you're thinking right now. You're like, wouldn't you
be worried when you do this? Wouldn't you do that? Wouldn't you blah, blah, blah. Coulda, woulda, shoulda. Right? But honestly, again, nobody
cared like that in 92. No cell phones. If someone wasn't home, they weren't home. And it wasn't like, I don't
know, but they didn't, they weren't thinking,
I can't speak for them, but they just, yeah. Do you get what I'm saying? Maybe you don't. We could play coulda,
woulda, shoulda all day. But at the end of the day
they left and they went to the water park. So around this time,
Janis McCall, Stacy's mom. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Stacy's mom, mom, mom, we know what's gonna come. Stacey's mom, she's
feeling a little uneasy. She hadn't heard from her
daughter that morning, and it was very unlike her to not call in at least like check in. So Stacy's mother, she decides
to call Janelle's house. Remember Janelle? The original plan? So she calls Janelle's house
and then Janelle tells her, oh, they ended up
staying at Suzie's house. And I think at this point
Stacy's mom was like, oh, okay. She must be just doing her thing, like graduation night, plans
are changing, she's fine. Just let her do her thing. And she kind of just lets her daughter be. And I say this because
Janis ends up waiting about seven hours. She lets seven hours go by
until she tries to again, connect with her daughter. Again, we coulda, woulda,
shoulda all damn day, but she was just kinda
like, you know what? My daughter, she just graduated. She's hanging out with her friends, she's doing her thing. She's responsible. Like let her be, she's okay, which is super sad because, I'm sure you wanna like
trust your daughter and stuff and now's not the time
to be trusting them. Anyway, so seven hours go by. So then, Stacy's mother, she decides to call Sherrill's house, see if her daughter's there, 'cause again, seven hours to go by, she hasn't heard from her daughter at all, and ring, ring, ring, no answer. So Janis figures that
something must be wrong with the house phone because it's ringing and nobody is answering. So like something must
be wrong with the phone. So she decides just to
go by Sherrill's house and see if they're there. So when Janis gets to the home, she finds that the front door is unlocked and she goes inside
and the house is empty. Now at this very same time, Janelle and her boyfriend
show back over the house to check and see why Suzie
and Stacy didn't show up. So it's kind of like a little
Scooby-Doo meeting, you know? Like the three of them are
all there and they're like, you're looking for them. I'm looking for them. We haven't seen them. So all three of them
decide to like kind of walk around the house and
do some investigating, looking for any answers. So Janis goes into Suzie's room and she notices that
Stacy's purse and makeup bag were sitting on the floor, right next to not only Suzie's purse, but also her mom, Sherrill's purse too. Now, it's weird because first of all, if you're going somewhere, most likely, you're gonna take your bag with you. Okay? Has all of your cards, ID. You get it, you would take it. Right? But that wasn't, what was really weird. I think what was even more weird was the fact that all
three of their purses were on the ground next to each other. Tell me that's not weird. That suspish right there. That would give me the chills. Like why are all their bags on
the floor next to each other? So this obviously kind of like
gives Janis a weird feeling. She's not feeling that great. She's like, you know what? I'm gonna call police. So she calls police, lets
them know what's going on. And then afterwards she calls her husband and tells him to come over
while she waits for police. So she hangs up the phone and then Janis, she notices that, well, that's my chair. I'm not farting. The on the answering machine, there's a blinking light going off, informing her that there's a message on the answering machine. And on the old school answering machines, it would blink, you know? Great. So she's like, okay, let me listen to the answering machine because maybe someone, maybe they left me a message or something. Janis listens to the answering machine and whoever it was left
a very lewd message. And it was pointless. Didn't really get to anything. It was just somebody again
making sexual innuendos. So she's like, oh my God, that's so gross. That's so weird. Now, here's the thing. The old school answering machines, they wouldn't save your
messages most of the time. You had to make sure
and save the messages. Most of the times they would
be automatically deleted once you play them. So, with that being said, after listening to the message, it gets deleted from
the answering machine. No. Yes. Like I get it. She shouldn't have listened
to the answering machine and everyone's gonna roast her, I know it, in the comment section,
we're all gonna be like, why would you do that? But I get it, I get it. She wanted to know. And she didn't mean for it to get deleted, but it got deleted, poor lady. I'm sure she regrets that very much. ♪ I know this may be wrong ♪ ♪ But I'm in love with Stacy's mom ♪ So by the time all this has taken place and the police are called, it's been like a full day since anyone has heard
from any of the ladies. Okay? But police end up coming out and they try to investigate the scene. But since people were coming and going, it's believed that it
contaminated the crime scene. Plus on top of that, the
voice message was deleted. So there's really not a lot to work with. Also a side note that I kinda
was purposely leaving out, 'cause it could get a bit
confusing for a lot of people. So while Stacy's mom is
waiting for the police and stuff to show up, she starts cleaning
the house a little bit. Okay? And I guess some neighbors
kind of hang out too. It wasn't clear if it was neighbors or if it was like Janelle
and her boyfriend, but they start cleaning up the house. They're like, oh, since I'm here, let me just pick up and
make things look nice. Not realizing that this is a crime scene and you shouldn't be cleaning it up. You know? So they're cleaning up the house. They're like, since I'm here, let me just be polite and do
the dishes for her and vacuum. So they literally clean the house and they're waiting and yeah. So that all, all bad. Stacy's mom literally did
everything you should not do. Great. That part was a little confusing to me 'cause I wasn't sure if
it was like the neighbors, because I know people were
kinda coming and going. Everyone was seemed to be really close, which sounds nice but not
when it's a crime scene. Could you imagine, oh, whoopsy. ♪ I'm in love with Stacy ♪ Bailey stop with that song! It's not appropriate right now. Okay. So police come out and
they're looking around and kinda like what
everybody else was saying, there's like not much for
police to be working with. They did note that the porch
light was indeed broken. Right? But other than that, there
was no sign of a struggle. The house looked very
normal and very clean 'cause it was cleaned. Suzie's bed, it looked
like it had been slept in, the girl's clothes, they were folded and they were like on the
dresser next to their jewelry. And it was said that in the room, there were makeup wipes
around suggesting that at some point they must've came home, they got unready, and
then they went to bed. They think that's, they at least at some point were there. Also upon further investigation, everybody's stuff was still there. They found $900 in Sherrill's
purse, her car keys. And again, there was jewelry. So it was clear to the police
that it wasn't a robbery. Yeah, because those are
prime things to be stolen, especially the $900. And then one thing that was noted, many found odd was that Sherrill, her pack of smokes and her lighter were still in her bag in the house. Now this may not seem not
important to many of us out here in YouTube world. Great. But Sherrill was a big time smoker. And it was said that
there was no way in heck that she would leave the
house without her smokes. Yeah, she could have gotten
another pack or something, but she wouldn't waste a pack like that. It would go with her. You know what I'm saying? So they're like, that's something. So police, they tried their best to try and like recover the
deleted voice message, but it was a dead end. They couldn't do anything about it. It was just gone. And again, there was nothing in the house that gave any clues as to
what happened that night. No furniture out of place, there was no signs of a struggle, there is no DNA, no blood splatter, spatter, which account? I mean, there's nothing. So police, they don't know
where to go from here. Well, some time goes by and
there are not many leads. So police start digging around and they look into all of the girl's past and they're trying to figure out, someone's gone out fricking something. So they start looking
into Suzie's background and they see that she was
dating a guy named Dustin for a bit of time. Now, remember in the beginning I said she was dating a bad boy? Yeah. Well Dustin was indeed a very bad boy. Okay? They see that they were
dating for a bit of time, and he had recently been arrested for being part of a grave robbing gang. Yes. He robbed someone's grave
and then got caught. So he got like gold teeth or something, like super, I hate people
that are just so stupid. Like why? Just leave them alone, they're dead. Leave them alone! Anyway. So he got caught. And I guess at some point,
Suzie had learned about this, that they had robbed graves and she ended up breaking up with him. Now there were rumors going around that said Suzie was the one
who turned him into police. I don't think it was a rumor because I found another source that said that she had actually
given a statement to police on March 5th, 1992. So yeah. She definitely said something
and the boys, this gang, they were going on trial and
Suzie was scheduled to testify against her ex-boyfriend and his gang at the trial in a few months. So if that doesn't
scream a fricking motive, I don't know what else does. I mean, all signs are
kind of pointing to him. Hello, like yes, you please, you're like, okay, that's it. It's this guy for sure. No ifs, ands or buts. So police, they go out
and they question Dustin. And they question also the friends that he's hanging out
with and they all pass a polygraph test and they
denied having anything to do with Susan's disappearance. Now there was nothing. There was no evidence to
link them to any crime. Okay? So the police, they had to let them go, but it was noted that none of
them had like a solid alibi as to where they were the night that the ladies went missing. Kind of seemed like everybody's story was kind of wishy washy. And they're like, we're
gonna fucking get you. I know it's them. It has to be. Next, the police decided
to look into Bart Streeter. So they're looking into this older brother and they look into his background. And they find that Bart, he was about nine years older than Suzie. And he was kind of considered
the black sheep in the family. Years before 1992, this
whole situation happened, Bart was kicked out of the family home and she was like on his own and he's struggling with alcohol. And he just really didn't
have the best relationship with his family. And for a while he kept his distance. And then after a bad breakup, he had recently moved back to Springfield. Bart wanted to try and fix
things between his family, his pretty much his mom's
relationship and his sister. So he cleaned up, he got a job and I think he got
sober from my understanding, but it was said that he
was doing a lot better. And then there was one point
when Suzie actually ended up moving in with Bart for a
bit of time to try and bond and like rebuild the
brother-sister relationship. But it didn't last that long. The two had gotten into
a really bad fight, I guess Bart was drinking and then he got aggressive towards Suzie. So it wasn't long after she moved in, she ends up moving back home. And then that was the end
of their relationship. So cops bring Bart in for questioning. And he tells them that
on the night of June 6th, the night before the women went missing, he had been in a neighbor's
house and he was super drunk. He said, "I was just wasted". So he said he was super wasted, but he ended up going
home at about 11:30 p.m. And then he passed out. Now there were no witnesses to confirm if his story was even true. So, plus he kept saying
he was super drunk. So it was like, how much
do we believe you, bud? So they asked if Bart
would do a polygraph test and Bart agrees. And it says that he
passes with flying colors. And again, because
there's no direct evidence that connects Bart to the disappearance, the cops, the police,
investigators, whoever, they have to let him go
because they got nothing. A couple of days after the disappearance, another lead comes in. This time, it's from an
older woman who lived in the same neighborhood as
the girls who went missing. So I guess this older woman, she would sit outside on her
little patio pretty often, as one does and she would just kind of observe her surroundings. She knew what kind of cars
came through the neighborhood. And she just kinda knew when like things seemed out of place. Well, she had called the police to report that a couple of days after
the woman's disappearance, she had noticed a strange
greenish van driving on the block. Yeah. It was like one of those creeper vans. And it was definitely out of place. What was even more strange to her was that there was a young
woman driving, with blonde hair. She's driving the van and
she seemed to be stressed or worried or bothered. Like she wasn't driving happy. She was just very... Something told the woman
that she was very stressed. Now the woman also said that
she had heard a male voice talking to the driver
or whoever was driving, and this male voice, it
sounded very aggressive. So she reported hearing a male saying, "don't do anything stupid". At least it was along those lines. So police asked her like, what took you so long to
like report this information? And the lady was like, well, I didn't know about these
women that were missing until recently. And then she made the
connection about the van and they're like, okay. I mean, at least they got it. So, police show this woman a photo of the three missing women. And she said that the person
who was driving the van definitely looked like Suzie. So could be true, could be not true. You know how eye witness accounts go. It's like you wanna
believe it, you really do, but it's hard because eye witness
accounts are not the best, but hey, they got nothing. So the woman reporting this sighting had no description of the man
who was talking in the van, but she did give a good
description of the vehicle itself. She said that it was
like a greenish color. It was between 1960 to
1970s and the police, they thought that she was
a very credible witness. So with this information, they go on a search for anyone
with this type of vehicle. They start pulling over every van that matches the description. And they go as far as to
buying a van similar to the one that the woman described
and they parked it in front of the local police station with a message in the
window that said like, have you seen this van? Looking for information. So it's parked out front. So anyone driving by, if they saw that van say come
forward with any information or like (indistinct). I thought it was a good idea. I was like, oh, that's great. You know how these stories go. Most of the time police are
like, oh, well, you know, we've seen it here a million... So at least they're trying. They're really hoping that
anybody will come forward with some information, like
have they seen that van? And over time they ended
up getting a lot of tips in regards to this van. Right. But many were reporting it
to be like a different color, but it sounded like
police were saying that it was like every color you can think of. People were saying they
saw this van, but in black, white purple, blue, and it
was just, it wasn't helping. It just wasn't going anywhere. So six months go by, still no leads. On New Year's Eve of 1992, an episode of "America's Most
Wanted" was playing on TV. And they were sharing the story about the strange disappearance
of what was now called the "Springfield Three". 'Cause it's Springfield
and there's three missing. On the show, they share all the
information they had, right? And they tell people to
call and come forward if they have any information like they do. So that night, a man calls in
saying that he had information about this case and the
operator on the phone, who initially answered the call then was trying to connect them to
the Springfield detectives. But sadly, the call was dropped
or whoever called hung up. But either way, call was done. So whoever it was hung up, whatever, and they didn't call back and the hotline was unable to trace the call. So once again, a fricking dead end. I guess it sounded promising, promising enough to like
bring it up, but who knows? What if it was just a
crank call, prank call, whatever it is. Well, again, more time just goes by. And then in 1993, there's a man by the
name of Steven Garrison, he came forward saying that he knew what happened to the Springfield Three. And he said he knew
where they were buried at and was willing to share this information only if he could get a plea bargain for what he was dealing with. So this guy, Steve says that
one night he was at a party and he was like getting
drunk with some friends, and this other friend who was
there that was super drunk comes up to him and starts
confessing to killing these women. So that's what he tells the police. Now police are kind of like, I don't know about your story, sir. You know, like, okay. But then Steven start to
share some information that wasn't released to the
public regarding the case. So they decide to have Steven take them where the bodies were buried,
allegedly, according to him. I'm not sure what it was he shared that was not public information, but it was something that
definitely got police interested, like, okay, maybe he's
onto something here. Police also served three search warrants in two different states where
they think there might be more clues based off of what
the Steven Guy was saying. And so even he ends up
bringing them to some property. A property that was searched, was a site that was once
mentioned in another case of two missing women back in 1990. Now this was not related to this, the Springfield Three case at all, but it was weird that this
was like the same location for another missing case. So maybe Steven got his cases
mixed up or I don't know, police found something. They found something. The property owner was
said to be an older man. I don't know. And he pled guilty to two
counts of second degree murder, which was a case that was
believed to be a drug deal gone bad, again, not
related to this case at all. The police find something on his property. And they end up putting
a gag order on Steven, which pretty much says that he legally cannot speak about this case or anything that they may
have found on the property. So they put on this gag. I don't know why it's called a gag order. It sounds dirty, but
it's called a gag order. So no one can talk about the case, right? Not even the police would
talk about the case. So when people are asking police, like, what are the updates or information about these missing women? Like what happened to them? Because there's like nothing. Nobody can talk about it
because of the gag order. So whatever was on this
property or whatever was found, they were not going to talk about it. Nobody was allowed to talk about it. Nothing. Very strange. Naturally, people were like, oh my God, it's related to the Springfield Three. I mean, hello, makes sense to
bring so hush hush about it. And it could be true,
but it also might not be. And maybe they found stuff on the property that was not related in any way, but maybe it was related to another case. But police did find Steven's
information credible and they were pretty familiar
with Steven's past as well. You see, Steven was
not a very great person to say the least. Steven, Steven, Steven. Steven was in prison
serving a 40 year sentence for kidnapping and rape charges from a Springfield college
girl who was kidnapped in 1993. So again, like he wanted
some sort of plea bargain to help him out with that situation. No. Who fricking knows what they found? Who knows what they
found in that property? I don't know. So it's a super weird story and no answer seemed to
be coming from this lead, especially with the gag order in place. Again, this story, three
women just vanished poof! Stacy, Suzie, and Sherrill. It's bizarre. No answer seemed to be coming from anyone. Well, that's when another tip comes in from Florida suggesting
that a guy named Robert Cox was responsible for the disappearances. Now, Robert was said to be
a highly trained Army Ranger who was recently convicted
and sentenced to death for brutally murdering another
19 year old girl in Florida. But in the end, his verdict was reversed. That's a whole mess that we're
not going to touch right now, but please do some digging
around and find out that Robert had moved to Springfield right before these women went missing. And he used to work at the same
dealership as Stacey's dad. So I mean, you know? Police question him and he says that he was at a golf
tournament with his parents who were staying with them for the night. And then the next morning he
took his girlfriend to church. And according to his girlfriend, that's exactly what happened. They don't really believe him or her. But again, without any hard evidence, they have to let them go. They don't have anything. I don't know how I feel
about this Robert guy. I mean, yeah. It's like, hmm, could be, but I don't know when he robbed them or so... I don't know. Later in 1995, Robert was arrested in Texas
for aggravated robbery. But this time, his girlfriend or the
now ex-girlfriend starts singing a different tune. She snatches back her original alibi on the night of the Springfield Three when they went missing. So she's like, actually I lied for him. He wasn't with me that night. So when Springfield police hear this, they go down to Texas to question him, but he refuses to talk. But then oddly enough, in 1996, during an interview with a local reporter, Robert says something just
super weird, super weird. This reporter asked him, hey, do you know anything about
that Springfield Three? And then Robert says, I
know that they're dead. I'll say that. Well, police again, get word of this. And they head out to
question Robert once again. But he refuses to admit killing
the women, being involved. He starts saying like super cryptic, mysterious messages to police, like, I can't give you any
specifics until my mom is dead. I just know they're dead. That's not my theory. I just know that. And it's like, dude, shut up. Don't do that. That's so annoying. So Robert is still considered
a person of interest, but they don't have any confession or hard evidence linking him to the case. So until then, the case
goes cold once again. Great. So with no new solid information
or leads after five years, the cops finally have to stop
actively working on the case. The three women were legally
declared dead in June of 1997. Even though their case
files still considers them to be missing. Yeah, super sad. There's nothing. There's no thing. So weird. So years go by, and then in 2007, there's a journalist named Kathee Baird. Anyway, she gets a tip from someone who either claimed to be a
psychic or claim to have, like had a vision or dream about
the Springfield Three case. She said that the three
missing women were buried in the foundation of
the south parking garage at Cox Hospital. Her vision told her this. So back in 1992, when the women went missing, this parking structure at the hospital hadn't been built yet. It was just a big lot of dirt. She shares this information
with investigators, but they pretty much
just laugh in her face. And they say something
like, there's no way, what are we going to do? Like tear up all the parking structure? And she's like, aren't you
going to do anything about it? And they're telling her
like, no, if they are there, they're buried by a ton of cement and we're not going to go like
blow up a parking structure just because a psychic said so. That's what police are saying. Well, Kathee, she can't
just let go of this tip. She needs to know if this tip is right, she needs closure, I get a girl. We would all be like, wait, you know, I need to investigate myself then. So she hires a mechanical engineer to use a ground penetrating radar, to scan the parking garage floor and see if anything turns up. Now, she's like recording
this guy, I guess. And this guy, he's using his machine. He says that he's getting
two images that are parallel in one spot, and there's another, like a third nearby that's perpendicular. I don't know. And then Kathee, she gets super excited and she goes over to the guy she hired and she tells him I'm working
on a missing persons case. And he's very casually
like, oh yeah, that's weird. Because like, this is exactly
what I see on my radar when I go over old graves. Huh! Well, this parking garage, it wasn't built until a year
after the women went missing. So in theory, the bodies should have turned
up during an excavation when they actually started
to build the garage, right? Kathee goes to police and tells them that. She also records the guy doing
it so she could show police, like, look at what he found. I hired him. This is what he's saying by blah blah. Police tell Kathee that the
radar scans aren't enough for them to demolish the garage. They still need more evidence. So Kathy starts doing some more
digging and then strangely, she just stops. Now, there was a podcast, this girl's kind of weird. This... Don't get too excited. Okay? Because there was a podcast
who was doing an episode on the Springfield Three
and they interviewed Kathee. Was it a podcast? No, I think it was a YouTube video. And they interviewed
Kathee about the radar scan in her investigation. And in the interview, she mentions that she thinks
she knows what happened. And unfortunately, Stacy was just collateral
damage in the scenario. She gets God, what's the word? Cryptic, I guess, herself. And she gets super tense and
it's awkward and uncomfortable. And the interviewer even calls her out. I'll link it down below. You have to watch it. Because the interviewer presses
her for more information about like who the real target was. And Kathee says that she
gets all uncomfortable. She's like, I'm not
going to talk about that. And then she goes on to say like, I've been advised to
leave this case alone. And I'm afraid for my safety. And then she goes on to
say a little bit more. But Kathee said that she would
not leave this case alone until she had solid proof of who did it. Okay, look, in the interview, she's giving off the vibe
that she knows who did it, that I can't talk about it
because I will be murdered next. And she's being super, again,
cryptic, like she knows. And then in the interview, she even goes on to say that
she knows who was responsible, but that she won't give up the information until it's solved. And it's a girl. You can't solve the mystery if you don't give up the
information as to who did it, but you're on national TV. It just kind of seemed
like she, I hate to say it. I hate to say a girl. I'm sorry. But it kind of seems like she
was doing this whole interview and stuff for attention, because why would you do an interview if you know all the information? Go to police. What are you doing on this interview alluding that you know, but,
I'm not gonna say anything. Why are you here then? Why are you wasting our damn time? It just seemed a little self-serving. I don't know. She might be onto something
with the parking garage area, but police, they felt like
her timeline didn't add up. And I couldn't find a
straight answer as to why they didn't wanna search
more into this tip. That to me doesn't make any sense. I mean, I understand that
blowing up a parking garage, that's probably a headache, but aren't you supposed
to solve some mysteries? Isn't that what you're supposed to do? I don't know. I didn't like that lady, but I just was gonna mention it because she has mentioned a
lot of the time in the story. She acts like she knows something. I don't know. I don't like her. I don't get good vibes. So since then there have
only been two more leads that didn't really pan out all that much. And then in 2002, there was a lead of a similar looking van that was spotted when
the three went missing. So cops went to a concrete
company where the van was spotted and they brought cadaver dogs with them. And the dogs did find some bones. I know. But then testing reports came
back saying that the bones were too old to be the women. So great. Now they saw someone
else's mystery, I guess. I hope they circle back on that one. And then in 2003, a tip leads investigators to a farm about an hour away from Springfield. And after some digging, police
find possible blood evidence and a piece of a vehicle that maybe could be part of the van that was seen. So police are excited and
immediately they sent the blood to the lab for testing, but
it came back inconclusive. So they just can't catch a break. It's weird because it seems
like they do wanna solve this case because they're trying, but then with the concrete
thing, they don't wanna solve. They don't wanna do that though. I don't know. Maybe they just don't find
her credible, that lady. Anywho, this case is still ongoing and hopefully one day
we'll know what happened to these three ladies,
the Springfield Three. They just fricking disappeared
and nobody knows anything. It's just bizarre. I spent so much time on this one, like looking around,
just try and look for, you just want something
there's, this is nothing. A couple of things; one
was it Suzie's boyfriend, the bad boy, obviously
there's a motive there. I guess at one point it
was mentioned like, oh, I would kill her from the boyfriend because he was so mad
that she rat him out. And honestly, that makes
the most sense, right? The boyfriend and the grave
diggers, if any of them, that seems like the thing. But here's the thing,
and this is my theory, I don't know who am I exactly. I'm just in YouTube box. But people like to talk. People love talking. They love sharing stories, they love sharing secrets. Oh yes. You love sharing a secret, don't lie. Don't lie. Secret, you're gonna tell someone. So if it was the boyfriend
and the gang of friends, there was like five or six of them. Chances are one of them
would say something, right? One of them would open their mouth, chicken out, confess, live with regret. There's just no way they would
all keep their mouth shut for this long, you know? So that's kinda why I was
thinking maybe it's not them because I cannot believe that
they would keep the secret for this long. They would... Someone would crack by now. But I don't know. It could be. I mean, again, they have
the motive and all that. It totally makes sense. Maybe they did keep the
secret for this long. But then I was thinking, I was marinating on this a little bit. And I was like, okay, so everyone seemed to know or be aware that the kids were graduating
high school that weekend. Remember graduation means parties. Kids doing stuff, kids hanging out at other people's houses, just not home, whatever. So my thought was, or is, or I don't know, is that the killer or whoever it was, knew that the girls were not
going to be home that night, Suzie's house. And it would just be mom
by herself at the home because the kids, remember, they were originally going
to stay at Janelle's house. Well, first they were
gonna stay at the hotel. Then they were going to
stay at Janelle's house and they didn't tell their mom
that they were coming home. So mom, she seemed outgoing and it kind of almost seems
like maybe wrong place, wrong time. Like the two girls were
supposed to stay the night at the hotel originally. They had their friends and
they weren't gonna be home. So mom is back at the house. Maybe she invites a Lone
Ranger over to the house since the kids are away. And this visitor parks in the driveway, in the spot that the
daughter always parked in. Remember in the beginning, when I described Suzie and her friends had said that
she had like OCD tendencies. Well, it was said that Suzie always parked in the same exact spot at her
house when she arrived there. But then that day, when
Janelle went to the house, she noted that Suzie's car was not parked where it normally is. And that was like major. It was something that
she obviously remembered, like that's weird. So the thought is, what if somebody was at the
house and was parked in the spot that the daughter would always park in? Right? So Suzie pulls up and is like, oh, weird. Someone's in my spot. I'll just park here behind my mom. And then Stacy followed
her and parked behind her 'cause there was three cards
there; mom, Suzie, Stacy, or something like that. Maybe someone was parked in her spot, somebody was hanging out with mom, maybe mom was at the house, the visitor is at the house, and the two girls come home
that night totally unplanned. Oh no, they're not supposed to be here. They're supposed to be whatever. Now this killer, this bad person is like, I got to get rid of all
three of these people now, not just Sherrill or whatever, you know? And my thought is that whoever it was, it was a super random hit. And that's why there's like
no trace back to anyone because it was someone
random or completely new, because that's why nobody has solved it. That's my thought because
people, again, love to talk. Somebody would've said something, unless it was someone who was
completely new and not around and just like left and nobody new spo... I don't know. I obviously am not solving any mysteries, but like I'm, I'm trying (chuckles). I hate unsolved stories. You know? You just want closure. It's just so sad. Like weird. I don't know. I would love to hear your
guys' theories down below. Let me know in the comment
section what you guys think. But other than that is
today's really sad story. Three just go missing like damn, scary. Anyways. Thank you guys so much for
hanging out with me today. I hope you have a
wonderful rest of your day, a great week ahead, and remember, I will see you in October. Don't worry, I'll be back BRB. And I really hope you have
a good rest of your month and I'll be seeing you very soon. Make a choices, be safe, and I love you. Okay. Bye. My foot fell asleep. (upbeat music)
