Stacy McCall (l.) Sherrill Levitt (m.) and Suzie Streeter (r.)
-I very seldom write about Springfield's Three Missing Women aka The Springfield Three. I find that I can't be objective when I get to the police and the prosecutors office in this case. For those of you who don't know, I have been receiving tips and conducting my own investigation into the disappearance of Sherrill Levitt, Suzi Streeter and Stacy McCall on June 7, 1992.
The SPD and the prosecutors office have pretty much stonewalled me and the evidence I have brought them regarding the women's disappearance. They are in possession of two rings that were found in a shoebox full of articles about the women, along with two other rings, in a house on W. Walnut.
Those rings still have not had any DNA testing conducted on them "because we feel they were handled by too many people," according to Sgt. Allen Neal of the SPD. Touch DNA could be crucial in this case for analysis on those rings.
-
In December of 2010 Investigation Discovery came to Springfield and Tennessee to interview former and current detectives on the case, Rick Norland, the gentleman I hired to conduct the Ground Penetrating Radar scan at the parking garage, Janis McCall, Janelle Kirby, Bartt Streeter and myself. The story below is from London's Daily Mail. Below that are links to the original story KY3 aired on the missing women. Below that are links to the program that aired on Investigation Discovery or ID titled, "The Springfield Three."
-
Until people start DEMANDING answers, we will be at the same place we are now in another 19 years....still seeking justice for Sherrill, Suzi and Stacy. -
If you have any information on their disappearance I can be reached at 417-369-2616 or meyer_news@hotmail.com or the SPD @ 417-864-1810

After Monday's programme, The Springfield Three, aired on the Investigation Discovery cable channel, police chief Paul Williams vowed to keep the investigation his top priority.
Department spokesman Corporal Matt Brown said: 'We are very committed to it. We don't know if this is a case where what happened is known by only a few people or many.'
He said police hope anyone with 'even a small piece of information they are holding onto that they don't think is important' will come forward.
The show detailed the events surrounding the mystery which began after the teenage girls graduated from Kickapoo High School in Springfield.
They were last seen around 2.15am when they left a graduation party and headed back to Suzanne's home to spend the night.

The house in Springfield where Suzie Streeter and her mother lived before they vanished |
When the alarm was raised the following day, investigators found their cars in the driveway of the house at 1717 E. Delmar Street.
The beds had been slept in. Broken glass was on the porch. The dog was restless. The TV was fuzzy. Their purses, money and keys remained in the house.
The only possible hint of foul play was a shattered ceiling light fixture on the front porch.
All the eerie details were retold as the show revealed how 5,000 leads have been investigated and despite alibis, a number of people are still on the suspect list.
-
The frustrations by investigators were also highlighted. 'It became an animal of its own,' retired detective
Mark Webb said of the investigation.
Allen Neal, lead detective with Springfield police, said: 'I can't think of another case that has come close to this level.'

'My gut feeling is, 'I'm pretty sure they're not alive,' but I have this little corner in my heart that says Stacy's still alive and I'm going to get her back.'
'People that may have forgotten something or maybe remember now,' This [show] gives them a chance to call police and say this was really important.
'We're going to find answers for ourselves and each other. It may be the tip we've been waiting on.'
As far as suspects are concerned, Mrs McCall thinks that everyone who was interviewed should be talked to again.
-
She also thinks it's important to consider anyone in the area at that time who was or is a known abductor or murder.
-
After her daughter's disappearance, she launched One Missing Link - a non-profit organisation working with the National Center For Missing and Exploited Children.
-
Chief Williams, who took office eight months ago said he wants answers, just like the families who have waited 18 years.
-
He added: 'We'll always hold out hope we'll find them but as years go by, the prospects certainly dim.
'We're looking at some reviewing some cases that haven't been done before. Probably a more open discussion about what leads are. Let's follow them or put them to rest.'
Anyone who has information is asked to call 417-864-1810.
