There were no signs of a struggle except a broken porch light globe; there was also a message on the answering machine that police believe might have provided a clue about the disappearances, but it was inadvertently erased.
She was 5 feet 0 inches (1.52 m), 110 pounds (50 kg), with short light blonde hair, brown eyes and pierced ears.
She was a cosmetologist at a local salon, and was a single mother reportedly very close to her daughter, Suzanne Elizabeth "Suzie" Streeter.
Streeter was 19 years old and 5 feet 2 inches (1.57 m), 102 pounds (46 kg), with shoulder length blonde hair and brown eyes.
Stacy Kathleen McCall was 18 years old, was 5 feet 3 inches (1.60 m) and 120 pounds (54 kg), with long dark blonde hair and light colored eyes.
[1] Streeter and McCall graduated from Kickapoo High School on June 6, 1992, at the Hammons Student Center on Missouri State University's campus.
Elder stated at her party that she and McCall wanted to rekindle their friendship, so the pair made plans for the evening of Sunday, June 8.
[1] The original trio of girls planned to spend the night at Kirby's house but after realizing her house was too crowded with out-of-town relatives for her graduation, Streeter and McCall decided to go to Levitt's home at 1717 East Delmar to retire for the night; Streeter was excited to show McCall her new king-sized waterbed she recently had delivered.
[6] Nigel Kenney, a coworker and close friend of Streeter's, stated she was a "creature of habit" and very particular about parking her vehicle in the same spot of the residence's driveway.
Kenney believes that because Streeter's car was not in the carport as usual, someone else could have possibly parked in her spot when she and McCall arrived before dawn on June 7.
Inside the house, Kirby found Levitt and Streeter's dog, a Yorkshire Terrier named Cinnamon, who appeared agitated.
As they were leaving the residence, Kirby answered a "strange and disturbing call" from an unidentified male who made "sexual innuendos".
[6] McCall's parents contacted police in reference to their daughter's disappearance from Levitt's home more than sixteen hours after the women were last seen, and other worried friends and family called and visited the house the following day.
[7] All personal property was left behind including purses, money, cars, keys, cigarettes, and the family dog Cinnamon, who was most likely the only witness of the women's disappearance.
Investigators received a tip that the women's bodies were buried in the foundations of the south parking garage at Cox Hospital.
[10] In 2007, crime reporter Kathee Baird invited Rick Norland, a mechanical engineer, to scan a corner of the parking garage with ground-penetrating radar (GPR).
[6] Springfield Police Department (SPD) spokesperson Lisa Cox said that the person who reported the tip "provided no evidence or logical reasoning behind this theory at that time or since then."
