wow. no matter how many cases I watch, it's crazy how 1 day you're living your life and then the next your kidnapped never to be seen again. I hope a breakthrough is seen, RIP to the springfield 3.
I know that agony. My sister Jamie Grissim disappeared fifty years ago walking home from school , just three weeks past her sixteenth birthday December 7, 1971. Google her.
I went to High School with these girls, graduated earlier in '89, but I do remember Susie running around with a ponytail on top of her head, like Pebbles from the Flintstones, and being quite outgoing. I was working at Mazzio's pizza at the time and, I'm guessing the Mom had ordered pizza that night to be delivered. Our delivery driver said that the light was broken when he got there and no one answered the door. Two places the bodies might be, one was a pig farm not too far out of town, the other was a concrete dump right in the middle of town.
What time did he deliver it? The girls didn't show up until after 2 am. If the globe was broken well before then, and Mom didn't answer the door, makes the case go in the direction that he was already in the house when the girls arrived but that would make no sense because they got ready for bed. I also went to school and graduated with them. I knew suzie and stacy very well. Keep hoping that one day it will be solved.
@@TheBlacksheep2020 it was one of his last deliveries and it would of had to be before 10pm. The delivery was successful so it would have been to the mother, Cheryl.
@@TheBlacksheep2020 I know I said in the first post that no one answered the door but I got to thinking about it and remembered that the reason the detectives had actually talked to the driver was because of the pizza box and receipt. But I do remember him telling me the porch light was already broken.
That totally confuses me because Susie and her Mom went home and had pizza early as a celebration, before Susie had gone out for the evening. I'd understood they'd picked it up themselves.Theyd actually declined a dinner invitation by Stacey and her family.
@@maryjocassell48 I was working that night. It was definitely delivered which is why SPD talked to the delivery driver about the light fixture. I wish I could remember the driver's name, I'd try to get in touch with him. I do remember he was shook up about the interview though. Did you go to KHS?
The scariest thing about the case is the simplest answer is probably lurking yet there just aren't enough clues. I'll bet this was some creep they all knew, someone who lived in the neighborhood, someone who started watching them after they moved in. The idea of the three of them being taken without anyone seeing or hearing anything means it had to be someone with a gun who demanded they be quiet and get into a vehicle most likely. The attacker most likely had one of the girls drive so that he could keep an eye on the three women. It's beyond sad. This is one of those cases that I've wondered about for years.
I know. I said the exact same thing after watching this. Do we live constantly among such vial evil people? Makes me more depressed than scared though. The ripples of trauma these people are creating is crazy.
@@leabarlow7645 It's challenging to find that healthy balance of caution while going on about our lives out in the world- and in our homes too, without being *that* person. My kids think I'm crazy with my warnings, anecdotes, and the instant primal panic I experience when they don't respond to my texts or calls right away. I struggle with knowing that I have to let them live their lives in this crazy world and hope they take a dose of what I say seriously.
Thank you Chris n Amy for putting this case back out there again...!!! It needs to be solved. It's a wild case... families need to know what happened! Poor girls 😔 😎✌🏻
@@TrueCrimeRecaps "You got it" ? "Thanks for swinging by" ?? You sound like a bot. How very impersonal of you 😕 This was a long video, people gave you their time. Not a great response to a lovely & thoughtful comment.
I'm so impressed with your research!! I am from Springfield, Missouri. I have never heard another UA-cam channel give such accurate and well researched info. I'm curious if you are also from there. You have mentioned just about everything (that I can remember) that was eventually either leaked, or released. This case haunts me. Stacy McCall's mother was very visible and verbal. It was heart wrenching to see her on the local news begging for her daughters safe return at first, and then as the years rolled on, started begging to know where her body was so she could be brought home. Heart wrenching!!! I am sure the rest of her family and Susie and Cheryl's family all were also heartbroken, it's just that Janis McCall was so visible. I wish the truth would come out before Stacy's parents pass away. All the remaining family members deserve some respite.
With so many crime channels putting out so much content, you and your wife still manage to bring something new, which I appreciate. Probably the wrong word to use as you cover murder but I do 'enjoy' the videos on your channel and imo you are the best with the pictures and facts - thank you 👍
I can usually get my head around most disappearances but this one has always had me stumped I mean there's absolutely no direction to go so it's no wonder detectives couldn't solve this as its a total MYSTERY
Great recap, Chris. You guys are so thorough. This case has boggled my mind for many years. I pray there's justice one day. I don't understand why the cops haven't taken that radar more seriously. It could be insignificant but it could be major. Such a sad case.
I've seen a few channels cover this case and none of them had any of the detail about the possible suspects that we get here from Chris. Not even close. Great work, guys.
Thank you for talking about this case!! So scary & sad how they seemed to just vanish!!! This is one case that I still think about!!! What if the mom & daughter had someone watching them for awhile, and they weren't even aware of it??!!! 🤔 And the friend just happened to stay that night so she was taken too!!!! I hope we get answers someday on what happened to them!!!! 🙁💔🙏
@@jessicaclifford590 they are not convicted or let off based on the results in the US-you are incorrect and ignorant. They are inadmissible in the court system here. Thus, they can’t be used. Only to help guide an investigation.
@@jessicaclifford590 They are not admisable in American courts, the police just use them to rule people in or out of crimes, they are used Europe at times esp in sex offender cases...... from what i read
@@mmells_12 how can a polygraph test be used to rule someone out of an investigation, yet inadmissible as evidence in a case? Many of these suspects need to be further looked into but they passed a polygraph and nope nothing to see here!
These three women deserve to have a final funeral and resting place especially after all these years. I seriously doubt that it won't cost the hospital that much money to unhurt three women. I'm truly sad for these women and how thier lives were just snubbed out because someone said so. They were cheated out of their lives here on earths earthquakes and it makes me sick!! May they RIP🌈🌦🥰⛄💔😇😇🏚🙏🙏🙏🙏
WOW- what a bizarre case ! I’m in Wheatland , about an hour from Springfield. SO many likely , deranged suspects ! You guys really do awesome analysis of cases ! Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
They need to dig up the parking lot! All the wasted time chasing different theories it’s beyond stupid to not at least check! Hoping all three can finally rest in peace! Excellent coverage of the awful case.
I live in Missouri and this case drives me crazy. I really think they need to push the Cox guy a little more. He said he won't say anything until his Mom is dead though. So baffling!
The law is too soft on known criminals like him, he should have the information pulled out of him, this is the issue with cases like this, the criminal seems to think they are running the show, and most of the time they actually do and make a mockery of the law. He's killed a few people and other crimes, so imo he should be shown no mercy till he talks, hell he displayed no mercy for those he's murdered. Time for karma.
I’ve read/watched/listened to EVERYTHING I’ve been able to find regarding this case. I’ve never come upon such a detailed but clear cut presentation of the women’s case. Excellent job, thank you for sharing Sherrill, Stacy and Suzie’s story. I’m going to share this with everyone I know. All three victims deserve to be found and returned to their loved ones.
I hear Betterhelp only pay the sponsored channel a large amount of money. But they sell contact details of anyone who contacts them for counselling. Also they pay the therapists the smallest amount of money!! This is just what I've been hearing so wanted to pass on the info, so please do your homework into them.
This is definitely the best summary I’ve heard of this perplexing case thus far. Thank you! I wish I had a good theory to untangle the mystery but unless someone reveals the information they know and have carefully protected for almost 30 yrs., I’m not sure this sad case will ever be solved. I hope it will be, though. What a terrible, protracted ordeal for all the family members and friends of these 3 women.
Hey, Chris and Amy! This one always breaks my heart because the young girls were the same age as me. This is one of those that I wish would get solved. Hopefully the local pd will just dig up the parking garage. I mean what do they have to lose? I ask you.
@@donnalombardo1135 - I love True Crime stories but I don't think i ever heard of the yogurt shop murders. I will check out the story now. There's alot of unsolved cases and it's reallly sad.
7 mins in , “THE EMPTY PICTURE FRAME” - Surly an answer to this can be easily found??? One of her girlfriends would have known WHO was in that picture frame !! Unless it was already empty but iF NOT , one of the friends would know for sure. As a kid in the 80s/90s we would rotate the photos in our frames & always be proud of who was in it , be it a boyfriend or best friend , if that picture was removed at the time they went missing this literally could be a HUGE clue as to what happened - well at least a potential clue!! IS there an answer to it??? did the police or anyone ever look into it?? sometimes the smallest, little thing can be the biggest clue! Hope they didnt overlook this ???? cheers! Love your work guys, this case absolutely HAUNTS me but fascinates me at same time as a true crime person. But so sad for families & friends... I hope this case is solved in our life time !!! cheers loz (australia) xx
Found your channel, thank you kindly from all the people on UA-cam that covered this case, you did a excellent job explaining things I didn’t hear before. This case always baffled me due to nothing found or heard.
Correct I heard in one of the comments years ago that the mom was dating the owner of PFI. And he was a married man. And the girls were supposed to be home that night…
This has bothered me soooo much. I was a kiddo when this happened, but I saw a story about it on unsolved mysteries re-runs that they used play. It baffles me. And we were all so dumb back then. Naive about contamination of possible crime scenes! That’s what older ladies would do, is clean a friends house up really quick to help them out. They’d do dishes, and tidy up. And the teen boy- just trying to sweep glass out of the way! 🥺🥺🥺 the perfect storm of mess ups.
This case always bothered me. I bought my first house in Spfld. In late 70's early 80's. Ironically i ran a security and private detective agency. It was a great place to live. Plus it's where Brad Pitt grew up lol. I truly hope they solve this case. These poor families need answers and justice. I for some reason always thought the mother was the target. Maybe someone who was infatuated with here from the salon. Idk though this one is a tough one with all potential evidence being destroyed. Prayers to all their family and friends. Happy turkey day Chris and Amy💖.
I've NEVER clucked SO fast on a video LOL! Hey Chris and the beautiful Amy!! This case has ALWAYS bothered me!! How did ALL 3 girls just vanish?? Also..the broken light bulb?? What's up with that? So confusing! Am I right..they still haven't been found?
This case has always bothered me! I read somewhere that people thought the two people who kidnapped and killed Cassidy Rainwater in Missouri might have something to do with the Springfield Three. I hope one day the true story of this disappearance will finally come to light!
You and Amy are my favorite true crime channel. You are thoroughly researched, give it in a simple way that is enjoyable for all levels of intellect and every case is interesting. It's also obvious that you both care about the families and friends of the victim's. Thank you.
When is it EVER okay for neighbors, friends or family to totally roam around in your home, check messages just everything they were doing.... They're the reason the case never was solved🙄.... No one thought to call 911.... So annoying... They literally cleaned n destroyed all the evidence! Great friends....
This has got me thinking about other cases like this, such as Cary Stayner and Oba Chandler. They also each kidnapped a woman and two teenage girls. So it's possible a single perpetrator was involved. The motive would probably be sexual. But this is pretty baffling. Great work as always ❤❤
You are actually the only other one that I've ever noticed mentioning Cary Stayner and the Yosemite case. People over and over proclaim that it couldn't possibly be one perpetrator, but Stayner shows us differently. ☮️💜
Such a smart thing to do! Someone recently commented on Michael Peterson and how he absolutely wouldn't murder two women ending up at the bottom of the stairs. But, I completely remember a case where the husband murdered his two wives in their tubs. It was the Boczkowski case. 😋😎
I wasn’t really familiar with this case until I watched this video. Very thorough research done on this case in your presentation. A very heartbreaking case with a no doubt sinister ending to these beautiful lives🙏
I love this channel because I love the synopsis first, speculation second approach. Great job! I'm always uneasy when I hear law enforcement ruling out a potential suspect on the basis of that person passing a polygraph.. Polygraphs are junk science and there are all sorts of things that can cause a false positive or a false negative result. Keep in mind that, among others, Gary Leon Ridgway (aka the Green River Killer) passed two different polygraph exams in regard to one of his victims. And all the spies who have been caught in the military or Department of Defence in the last 50+ years had a history of successfully passing more than one polygraph as part of their annual security clearances--doesn't exactly inspire confidence. So some of the potential suspects in this case seem only to be ruled out on the basis of successfully passing polygraphs--if you decide those results are neutral, well, is there anything else that rules them out?
Agreed! They messed with a crime scene. There could have been evidence in the house but since they were in and out and touching and cleaning, they were either hiding something or just idiots. If you can't find someone don't mess with the scene!
What is wrong with these people!!!!! No wonder this is unsolved everybody around them were cleaning and covering up the scene!! Oh and the accidental voice message
Truly horrific. The girls took off their makeup when they arrived, so definitely nothing was untoward then. Nobody knew they were going to stay there that night, not even themselves and no money taken?. I think the woman living there for only two months had a creepy stalker and it was a case of wrong place, wrong time for the girls
Elaine There was actually a Peeping Tom in their neighborhood that very night. And, apparently Sheryl had been outside in the carport refinishing furniture that evening. The Dental building parking lot next door is the perfect place from which to watch someone, as they tend to close early. Cary Stayner easily abducted a Mother and two teenaged girls, using a weapon and bindings. Purses gathered together at Susie's room entrance makes me think he'd mislead the women into believing momentarily that he was only going to rob them. Susie's room had french doors leading out to the backyard.
The way they tidied up the home makes me want to scream! But they were so young and well meaning, and the thought that this was a potential crime scene likely didn't occur to them. Nobody expects anything like this to happen to anyone they know. Plus it was 30 years ago, so people weren't as aware of the preservation of evidence as we are now. It's like everything that could go wrong did go wrong in this case. Ev-ery-thing!
@@bari2883 I think so too. Maybe that possibility was investigated but there wasn't enough evidence to charge them. What's almost a certainty is that a couple of those girls "friends" or boyfriends had something to do with it. At this point I think it's too late as the police have nothing, not even bodies.
Upon hearing the disturbing facts of the missing “Springfield Three” case, I keep coming to these conclusions - Sheryl was the target. I only say this because the decision for Susie and Stacie to stay at Sheyl’s house was a very last minute decision. That means if someone was stalking Susie and Stacie, he or they, got very lucky that out of nowhere Susie and Stacie just happened to go off to an isolated house where he/they could attack them instead of the staying overnight as originally planned at the house of dozens of house guests where attacking them wouldn’t be possible. On the other hand, Sheryl was scheduled to be home, at first (all alone) for the entire evening. These circumstances lead me more towards Sheryl was the target, and Susie and Stacie ended up in the wrong place as unplanned victims. Just the chain events, lead me to feel Sheryl was the target. I may be wrong, of course, as there’s not enough concrete information, but I’d really start there, or authorities should start there, specifically with Sheryl. What was Sheryl’s life like during that time period, what were her relationships, friends, business dealings, everything? Who would have had something specifically against her to go to the trouble of entering her house, kidnapping her and making her vanish? And eliminate the other 2 girls too as collateral damage with out blinking an eye, and cover up the crime so well? Also, I tend to think at least 2 men were involved, maybe more, but at least 2, only because it would be difficult for one man to remove 3 women from the house and keep them under control. Not impossible mind you, as I guess one perpetrator could, but I think 2 would have a safer chance of controlling 3 hostages. Although Bart has a troubling history, I don’t think he’s involved with the crime. However, any of the other suspects (or similar creeps out there like that) are definitely possible contenders, but no solid directions to say exactly who? And Lastly, if Robert Cox is really involved, are we seriously to believe he’ll volunteer the information if his mother dies. Right. Why? Cox has nothing gain and everything to lose. Whoever did this has gotten away with it unfortunately for 3 decades now. And if involved, Cox has no reason to change that now, unless he’s made to talk, something that can to benefit him, so I doubt he’ll talk, even when his mother dies. And that’s assuming he’s not full of shit to begin with. Man, this case is frustrating and scary all at once, frustrating due to the lack of good leads to follow, and scary that in a 6 hour window of between 2am and 8am that day, something very bad happened to these 3 women by one or several very bad people, and to this day, three decades later, we know practically nothing else. But my condolences to the victims, and I still hold out hope that one day, this terrible case may finally be solved and the perpetrators held accountable.
You referred to the house they were abducted from as being isolated. It's not. There are other homes around it and the house is the first house on your right when turning onto E. Delmar from S. Glenstone, a very busy thoroughfare that runs all the way from the Southside of Springfield to the Northside of Springfield.
I worded that part wrong as I didn’t mean to say the house itself was isolated, I meant more like the house was isolated from all people on that particular evening, as Sheryl was supposed to be the only occupant.
Cheryl was an extremely busy Cosmetologist at that point with 250 of her own clients. She was known to help a client even if she had to wait on being paid. Apparently at that point she was known as being a homebody, and that night was working on refinishing an old dresser. Before her daughter went out that night, Cheryl and Susie had a pizza together at home, I believe. ☮️💜
Cary Stayner in Yosemite used a gun and tied 3 women up to subdue them. He abducted, raped and murdered them. They were found in their burned rental car some time later.
It took only one time listening to this video to make me a fan for more. I love the way it was narrated because my mind could see the whole story play out. Good stuff and I'm now subscribed.
Btw, I love your show! I appreciate immensely how thorough your information is and how youve investigated any possible angle or suspect. I dont feel left hanging after watching you guys, even if the crime hasnt been solved. Great job!!
I remember when this happened. I was living in Arkansas at the time. Its crazy that these women have yet to be found. No signs of them at all...crazy!!
One of the things I've always found odd about this case is how could just one person overpower three young (two of them especially) and healthy people and why would he choose to do so. Would have not been easier to only target one if this was indeed a random act of violence? And in their own home, on top of that? The third parked car definitely holds the biggest evidence for me. But after all these years ...
Put a knife to one's throat or gun to one's head and they would most likely comply. Have one tye the hands of the other. It can be done. BTK controlled whole families this way.
I know it seems unbelievable, but look up Cary Stayner in Yosemite. He abducted, raped and murdered 3 women by himself with a gun and tied them up to subdue them. He was the Maintenance man at their hotel. They were found later in their burned rental car. He was a burgeoning serial killer. ☮️💜 Also, that very night in their neighborhood there was a peeping Tom, 3 doors down from their home. Sheryl had been outside refinishing furniture in her carport that evening. Detective Ken Mains from unsolved no more believes he watched Sheryl from the Dental building parking lot next door. I believe the purses were all neatly together in Susie's room , because the perpetrator mislead them into believing he was only going to rob them. Susie's room has french doors leading out to the backyard.Also, Ted Bundy and BTK began as peeping Toms.
Where u r most likely getting killed anyway so f ur friend every man for themselves. Much safer. Just like cave diving. Don't risk ur life to save someone else cus that's two dead instead of one. U limit loss
I’m assuming that it was planned and the mom was the original target. The girls caught a case of wrong place wrong time. Also if u watch other videos the comments from locals say that the mom wasn’t as innocent as she seems she allegedly attracted the wrong crowd
I also found it odd really odd that Susie and Stacy kept rearranging their their plans for the evening! I thought that was weird, they kept going from one house to the next..it just seemed..... like some really erratic "planning" I'm sayin. I mean, every time they would make a plan they wouldn't stick to it! that time... that evening, I just think that's strange! I wonder if that has anything to do with what happened to all three of them..
This mystery has always baffled me. It's crazy. I definitely think the girls were followed there from someone they knew and all 3 were kidnapped from the house
It would be horrible to have someone that you love go missing and then you add to that the fact that you never had any answers to what happened to them!
You did your homework on this good job. My opinion is Sherrill had someone over that night. Suzie was gone for the night so she wasn't supposed to be back. I've always thought Suzie parking the way she did meant someone else was parked there. Sherrill's friends saying she didn't have a boyfriend doesn't mean anything. Sherrill was an older woman who seemed kinda private with her social life. She may not have felt the need to let people know her personal business and maybe she would have told a friend that she had a man come over that she liked but she never got the chance. It's always mentioned that Stacey left in nothing but her underwear and T-shirt. What girl who is planning on being away for over 24 hours doesn't have a change of clothes with her ? Most girls that age have clothes in their car. I don't see Stacey getting up that morning and not taking a shower. How many people put on dirty underwear after taking a shower ? It's impossible to know for sure Stacey didn't have a change of clothes with her. The girls didn't get back to the house till at least 2:30 am. Who knows what they walked in on. Maybe Sherrill was watching TV with her friend or maybe they where in bed asleep who knows. Maybe Sherrill wasn't too happy about Suzi showing up or maybe the man wasn't or both. An argument could have broke out. Suzi had already moved out once before to live with Bart so they didn't always get along. I don't put much credence in the serial killer theory. If someone had Sherrill in their sights I doubt they are going to take a chance with 2 extra cars there. Why take them anywhere ? That's just taking way too much of a risk. He would want to leave that house with no one in tow. It's not easy to hide 3 bodies for ever. Tying them up and killing them in the house would make more sense. No one is going to leave money behind regardless what they are there for. The door being unlocked is odd. In my opinion it shows they left that way. Who was the last person to pull that door shut ? Unfortunately there was never a chance to get finger prints. A killer imo would want that door locked. The killer would have no idea who was going to show up and when but with a locked door that person most likely would have assumed they weren't home. Where did the $800 come from ? Was that her take home pay for the week ? I doubt it since she worked for a business she wouldn't have gotten paid by the customer. It's also too much for tips. I wonder what denominations the money was in. If someone was going to kidnap you I would think you would offer them money to let you go. Even if it didn't work the money would have been gone. All the purses lined up like that is weird. In an interview with Bart he mentions something about the purses being moved. I thought he said one of Suzie's friends moved them. I'll have to listen to it again to hear exactly what he said. If it was only Sherrill and Suzie who disappeared I would say there is a good chance they just ran off for what ever reason to start a new life but Stacey being there tells me this unlikely scenario didn't happen. I think Stacey was collateral damage.
Ahhh.. forgive me for the late comment, I am now in the middle of a binge 🥰 This one always gets me. I think to myself how do 3 women just disappear with nothing leading anywhere. Well then, I might take a walk in a park by myself and look out into the vast amount of trees, and go... Oh, I see. So many places to put or bury bodies, its a big world out there. Sad as that is 😔
They thought they were helping. Did I see video that at least part of the house was really messy? Maybe they couldn’t stand being in the house bc it was so dirty.
I remember seeing billboards with their faces on them when I was a child. Wow makes me feel old! There has also been the son of a very very wealthy family in Springfield suspected for years. I believe Stacy went out with him.
I know who you are talking about, and stacy never went out with him. Stupid rumors like this have never helped the chances of it being solved. Too much wasted time on garbage theories.
Currently living in Springfield. My oh my, has it gone to crime. Has turned into one of those towns where you step outside at night, and there is a good chance you will hear gun shots blasting off in the background...
Wouldn't it be interesting to know how many people have been murdered since the beginning of time? Because being a true crime fan, it seems every second person has either been murdered or is missing
I have solved the case. They all were killed by Janelle and her boyfriend. First they knew to much about the patterns of the Mother and daughter. They had ready explanations for the two to contaminate the scene. Secondly, using a new method of obtaining clues from victims, all three knew the murderer.
When you realized something is wrong and 03 people are missing would you spent time cleaning the shattered glass as a help for the owner . And conveniently they brought few others inside the house just to tamper the evidence and also deleting a voice message . It's has to be them jennel and her boy friend . At lease they got something to do with the disappearances. They worked out everything which wasn't normal in that house yet they never bothered to inform the officials.
Janel and Mike were waiting on Suzie and Stacy to go to the water park. They went to Suzie’s, noticing the broken glass Mike swept it up bc Janel was barefoot. The phone rang and Janel answered it to a prank call. Mike and Janel didn’t take people to the house. Stacy’s mom accidentally erased the “nasty” voicemail. Family and friends came to the house with Stacy’s mom and ultimately called police.
I'm not for certain. But I believe that the men who killed and held and ate a captive woman in Lebanon Missouri have recently been looked into for this crime? Hopefully some answers come sooner or later. These Beautiful Ladies deserve it. Sad story.
It’s so bizarre to me that there isn’t a person out there with a few thousand bucks to pay a scientist or drilling company to take core samples and close this lead out. If the hospital is willing to allow it then it seems ludicrous that this hasn’t been done. I think the richest family in the world lives pretty close to Springfield MO.
I've heard that the friend was supposed to sleep at janelles but changed her mind and went to susies. I think janelle went there with mike offended about stacey snobbing her sleepover and the light was smashed by janelle and this started a fight that turned into murder. They know what happened to the three.
hm I found it strange how they give a story about getting two calls. I mean why would a perpetrater then be calling back, sounds ridiculous to me. And many are saying it seems investigators are covering for someone? could it be them, tampered evidence, deleted call? yet they won't say who deleted call? huh? I mean I don't want to accuse anyone but have these two really been looked into?
…Um, Well, Sadly -to answer the thumb-nail posed question- I’d definitely lean to that they are not alive - And almost assuredly were murdered shortly after they went missing. ✌️
wow. no matter how many cases I watch, it's crazy how 1 day you're living your life and then the next your kidnapped never to be seen again. I hope a breakthrough is seen, RIP to the springfield 3.

Google her.
@@yourbeautifulnightmare4657 today marks 30 years since they've gone missing 😔
I went to High School with these girls, graduated earlier in '89, but I do remember Susie running around with a ponytail on top of her head, like Pebbles from the Flintstones, and being quite outgoing. I was working at Mazzio's pizza at the time and, I'm guessing the Mom had ordered pizza that night to be delivered. Our delivery driver said that the light was broken when he got there and no one answered the door. Two places the bodies might be, one was a pig farm not too far out of town, the other was a concrete dump right in the middle of town.
What time did he deliver it? The girls didn't show up until after 2 am. If the globe was broken well before then, and Mom didn't answer the door, makes the case go in the direction that he was already in the house when the girls arrived but that would make no sense because they got ready for bed. I also went to school and graduated with them. I knew suzie and stacy very well. Keep hoping that one day it will be solved.

The idea of the three of them being taken without anyone seeing or hearing anything means it had to be someone with a gun who demanded they be quiet and get into a vehicle most likely. The attacker most likely had one of the girls drive so that he could keep an eye on the three women. It's beyond sad. This is one of those cases that I've wondered about for years.

Absolutely! Someone who was at the friends house they had just left from who knew where they were going and who lived at that house!
They’re bodies are under the parking garage. Why haven’t they dug it up yet
Or maybe it was two creeps
The amount of creeps unveiled when investigating suspects is frightening.
I know. I said the exact same thing after watching this. Do we live constantly among such vial evil people? Makes me more depressed than scared though. The ripples of trauma these people are creating is crazy.
@@leabarlow7645 It's challenging to find that healthy balance of caution while going on about our lives out in the world- and in our homes too, without being *that* person. My kids think I'm crazy with my warnings, anecdotes, and the instant primal panic I experience when they don't respond to my texts or calls right away. I struggle with knowing that I have to let them live their lives in this crazy world and hope they take a dose of what I say seriously.
@@leabarlow7645please tell me what is wrong with the HUMAN RACE
Are they so incapable of just leaving other people ALONE.?
@@temporarilyimmortal795 Unfortunately in 2023 we have to be HELICOPTER PARENTS. and watch for ourselves too.
Pay Attention people.
Thank you Chris n Amy for putting this case back out there again...!!! It needs to be solved. It's a wild case... families need to know what happened!
Poor girls 😔 😎✌🏻
You got it, thanks for swingin by!
@@TrueCrimeRecaps "You got it" ? "Thanks for swinging by" ?? You sound like a bot. How very impersonal of you 😕 This was a long video, people gave you their time. Not a great response to a lovely & thoughtful comment.
@@Julia-uh4liPerfect comment, well done you.❤
I'm so impressed with your research!! I am from Springfield, Missouri. I have never heard another UA-cam channel give such accurate and well researched info. I'm curious if you are also from there. You have mentioned just about everything (that I can remember) that was eventually either leaked, or released.
This case haunts me. Stacy McCall's mother was very visible and verbal. It was heart wrenching to see her on the local news begging for her daughters safe return at first, and then as the years rolled on, started begging to know where her body was so she could be brought home. Heart wrenching!!! I am sure the rest of her family and Susie and Cheryl's family all were also heartbroken, it's just that Janis McCall was so visible.
I wish the truth would come out before Stacy's parents pass away.
All the remaining family members deserve some respite.
It’s so heartbreaking for all their loved ones. The not knowing is so torturous.
That same research was already out there!!! Maybe they should quick talking about it and do a real investigation on this case!
I’ve followed this case since I got into true crime about 12 years ago. So sad there is still no closure..Springfield 3
Ugh this case is so frustrating! So sad it's been that long. These beautiful woman need to have this solved.
I love both of your voices! And no crazy background music. Thanks for an excellent job.
With so many crime channels putting out so much content, you and your wife still manage to bring something new, which I appreciate. Probably the wrong word to use as you cover murder but I do 'enjoy' the videos on your channel and imo you are the best with the pictures and facts - thank you 👍
We really appreciate you saying that! We love our work, and its nice to hear from viewers who recgonize that.
I can usually get my head around most disappearances but this one has always had me stumped I mean there's absolutely no direction to go so it's no wonder detectives couldn't solve this as its a total MYSTERY
Great recap, Chris. You guys are so thorough. This case has boggled my mind for many years. I pray there's justice one day. I don't understand why the cops haven't taken that radar more seriously. It could be insignificant but it could be major. Such a sad case.
One day if they look into that parking garage,.. who knows?
We may find out something new.
Thank you for coming and spending some time with us!
@@TrueCrimeRecaps This is one of my favorite channels. Keep up the good work! And Happy Thanksgiving!
I've seen a few channels cover this case and none of them had any of the detail about the possible suspects that we get here from Chris. Not even close. Great work, guys.
The calls coming from inside the house!!! Strange one. I've got to look into this one. Good job.
This case always haunts me.
I hope the Springfield 3 case gets solved soon so they can have a proper burial.
Thanks Chris and Amy🙏💯🤗
You are most welcome. Thank you!!
Love stumbling upon new channels and then spending the early hours (it's past 1am here in the UK) engrossed and watching a bunch of uploads!
Thank you for talking about this case!! So scary & sad how
they seemed to just vanish!!! This is one case that I still
think about!!! What if the mom & daughter had someone
watching them for awhile, and they weren't even aware
of it??!!! 🤔 And the friend just happened to stay that
night so she was taken too!!!! I hope we get answers
someday on what happened to them!!!! 🙁💔🙏
Man, I wish this case would get solved. Just like so many others, I wish the Delphi murders would get solved too.
Yogurt shop murders too
@@donnalombardo1135 OMG yes!
In the the Delphi case the guy was underneath thier noses...glad they got him.
Well, thanks God Delphi murder of Libby and Abby was solved
Why are people completely ruled out if they pass a polygraph? I thought polygraphs are kind of questionable.
They don't use them in the uk because are unreliable but people seem to be convicted or let off in the US based off them :/
@@jessicaclifford590 they are not convicted or let off based on the results in the US-you are incorrect and ignorant. They are inadmissible in the court system here. Thus, they can’t be used. Only to help guide an investigation.
@@jessicaclifford590 They are not admisable in American courts, the police just use them to rule people in or out of crimes, they are used Europe at times esp in sex offender cases...... from what i read
Ugh it drives me crazy when I hear this. Polygraphs should be illegal.
@@mmells_12 how can a polygraph test be used to rule someone out of an investigation, yet inadmissible as evidence in a case? Many of these suspects need to be further looked into but they passed a polygraph and nope nothing to see here!
These three women deserve to have a final funeral and resting place especially after all these years. I seriously doubt that it won't cost the hospital that much money to unhurt three women. I'm truly sad for these women and how thier lives were just snubbed out because someone said so. They were cheated out of their lives here on earths earthquakes and it makes me sick!! May they RIP🌈🌦🥰⛄💔😇😇🏚🙏🙏🙏🙏
The expense of an excavation would be footed by the police department/city, not the hospital.
WOW- what a bizarre case ! I’m in Wheatland , about an hour from Springfield. SO many likely , deranged suspects ! You guys really do awesome analysis of cases ! Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
this case has always been so creepy and fascinating to me, a true disappearance and mystery.
They need to dig up the parking lot! All the wasted time chasing different theories it’s beyond stupid to not at least check! Hoping all three can finally rest in peace! Excellent coverage of the awful case.
The city keeps blocking it so they can't. Makes you wonder 🤔🤔
@@amandajoy2034 what is the city hiding by not digging up the parking garage? hmmmm!
and I agree they should dig up the parking lot,,,, suppose to follow all leads no matter what,,,,,hope they will finally do it
I agree
Great presentation, Chris. New spins on the case. Thank you. ♥️
It's our pleasure, thank you so much!
I love the way you guys recap these stories. And this one is heartbreaking 💔
It wouldn't cost that much to check out the parking garage. How sad that they won't even try to solve this cold case.
If the people under the garage are not the Springfield Three, the excavation could solve some missing persons cases.
I live in Missouri and this case drives me crazy. I really think they need to push the Cox guy a little more. He said he won't say anything until his Mom is dead though. So baffling!
The law is too soft on known criminals like him, he should have the information pulled out of him, this is the issue with cases like this, the criminal seems to think they are running the show, and most of the time they actually do and make a mockery of the law. He's killed a few people and other crimes, so imo he should be shown no mercy till he talks, hell he displayed no mercy for those he's murdered. Time for karma.
Cox is just looking for attention.
Psychopaths can pass Lie Detectors when lying.
They must know that. They still get something from it tho, I guess.
I’ve read/watched/listened to EVERYTHING I’ve been able to find regarding this case.
I’ve never come upon such a detailed but clear cut presentation of the women’s case.
Excellent job, thank you for sharing Sherrill, Stacy and Suzie’s story.
I’m going to share this with everyone I know.
All three victims deserve to be found and returned to their loved ones.
I hear Betterhelp only pay the sponsored channel a large amount of money. But they sell contact details of anyone who contacts them for counselling. Also they pay the therapists the smallest amount of money!!
This is just what I've been hearing so wanted to pass on the info, so please do your homework into them.
Geesh I was really gonna do it. These therapists need dough right now. I really hope it’s not a lot of people feeling depressed and hopeless out here
@@shareenepoole9834 yes I hope not too given the current situation with the pandemic 👎🏻
Were Janell and her boyfriend ever investigated?
Not thourougly, but they need to be. They are not at all "innocent".
was about to say that Janelle and her BF seem sketchy
I definitely couldn't say for sure but something seems off about their behavior most definitely.
The way Chris and Amy tell the stories and the details are top class
This is definitely the best summary I’ve heard of this perplexing case thus far. Thank you! I wish I had a good theory to untangle the mystery but unless someone reveals the information they know and have carefully protected for almost 30 yrs., I’m not sure this sad case will ever be solved. I hope it will be, though. What a terrible, protracted ordeal for all the family members and friends of these 3 women.
Hey, Chris and Amy! This one always breaks my heart because the young girls were the same age as me. This is one of those that I wish would get solved. Hopefully the local pd will just dig up the parking garage. I mean what do they have to lose? I ask you.
We agree! Dig up the parking lot, it may solve the case.
So sorry for those poor girls.
This and the yogurt shop murders
@@donnalombardo1135 totally agree. Those girls were close in age to me as well. In that case something kind of reeks of local corruption to me.
@@ClassicGamer74 I think so too it might be the two men who were sitting in the booth when they closed the place but they never checked them out
@@donnalombardo1135 - I love True Crime stories but I don't think i ever heard of the yogurt shop murders. I will check out the story now. There's alot of unsolved cases and it's reallly sad.
7 mins in , “THE EMPTY PICTURE FRAME” - Surly an answer to this can be easily found??? One of her girlfriends would have known WHO was in that picture frame !! Unless it was already empty but iF NOT , one of the friends would know for sure. As a kid in the 80s/90s we would rotate the photos in our frames & always be proud of who was in it , be it a boyfriend or best friend , if that picture was removed at the time they went missing this literally could be a HUGE clue as to what happened - well at least a potential clue!! IS there an answer to it??? did the police or anyone ever look into it?? sometimes the smallest, little thing can be the biggest clue! Hope they didnt overlook this ???? cheers! Love your work guys, this case absolutely HAUNTS me but fascinates me at same time as a true crime person. But so sad for families & friends... I hope this case is solved in our life time !!! cheers loz (australia) xx
To make sure that they do investigate it call the tip line
Found your channel, thank you kindly from all the people on UA-cam that covered this case, you did a excellent job explaining things I didn’t hear before. This case always baffled me due to nothing found or heard.
I remember when this happened. I had just moved to Springfield Missouri. Sad it's never been solved. They need to dig up PFI
Correct I heard in one of the comments years ago that the mom was dating the owner of PFI. And he was a married man. And the girls were supposed to be home that night…
This has bothered me soooo much. I was a kiddo when this happened, but I saw a story about it on unsolved mysteries re-runs that they used play. It baffles me. And we were all so dumb back then. Naive about contamination of possible crime scenes! That’s what older ladies would do, is clean a friends house up really quick to help them out. They’d do dishes, and tidy up. And the teen boy- just trying to sweep glass out of the way! 🥺🥺🥺 the perfect storm of mess ups.
This case always bothered me. I bought my first house in Spfld. In late 70's early 80's. Ironically i ran a security and private detective agency. It was a great place to live. Plus it's where Brad Pitt grew up lol. I truly hope they solve this case. These poor families need answers and justice. I for some reason always thought the mother was the target. Maybe someone who was infatuated with here from the salon. Idk though this one is a tough one with all potential evidence being destroyed. Prayers to all their family and friends. Happy turkey day Chris and Amy💖.
Well I feel sorry for all the turkeys whose life was ended so horribly.
I've NEVER clucked SO fast on a video LOL!
Hey Chris and the beautiful Amy!!
This case has ALWAYS bothered me!! How did ALL 3 girls just vanish?? Also..the broken light bulb?? What's up with that? So confusing! Am I right..they still haven't been found?
Hey there!
@@TrueCrimeRecaps Sorry Chris! I added more lol
This channel pop up in my feed last week I think it was....I am now hooked!
I am disturbed by the 'ruling out suspects' based on passing polygraphs. Yikes.
Wow haven’t been on when you guys first upload awesome.
Hey, I live in Ava, MO! Although I was still in Cali at the time of this, I had read up on it, but you have even more detail!!
This case has always bothered me! I read somewhere that people thought the two people who kidnapped and killed Cassidy Rainwater in Missouri might have something to do with the Springfield Three. I hope one day the true story of this disappearance will finally come to light!
I wondering why jannel and Mike didn't call the police when they found the house empty
You and Amy are my favorite true crime channel. You are thoroughly researched, give it in a simple way that is enjoyable for all levels of intellect and every case is interesting. It's also obvious that you both care about the families and friends of the victim's. Thank you.
When is it EVER okay for neighbors, friends or family to totally roam around in your home, check messages just everything they were doing.... They're the reason the case never was solved🙄.... No one thought to call 911.... So annoying... They literally cleaned n destroyed all the evidence! Great friends....
Janelle and. Mike know exactly what happened. Occam's razor tells us so.
Yes, they do know for sure.
This case is amazing. I have seen it many times and still can't believe it hasn't been solved.
I think so too, three people? this one should be solved.
Great job on this recap. I can’t believe they were never found. We are talking about THREE people, not one!
Omg I'm so happy you talked about this case
This case has always got to me hope they find who did this. ✌
This has got me thinking about other cases like this, such as Cary Stayner and Oba Chandler. They also each kidnapped a woman and two teenage girls. So it's possible a single perpetrator was involved. The motive would probably be sexual. But this is pretty baffling. Great work as always ❤❤
You are actually the only other one that I've ever noticed mentioning Cary Stayner and the Yosemite case. People over and over proclaim that it couldn't possibly be one perpetrator, but Stayner shows us differently. ☮️💜
@@maryjocassell48 when I see a case I usually try to go back and look at other similar crimes to help me understand what might have happened. 😊😊
Such a smart thing to do! Someone recently commented on Michael Peterson and how he absolutely wouldn't murder two women ending up at the bottom of the stairs. But, I completely remember a case where the husband murdered his two wives in their tubs. It was the Boczkowski case. 😋😎
A concrete cutter can cut a core sample for small $. The high cost excuse, is just an excuse.
I'm 8 minutes into the story. Had to rewind a CPL times to get the names right, but at this point I would point my finger at Janelle and her boyfriend
Bingo
@@TheBlacksheep2020 You commented that you knew Stacy and Suzie very well. You must have known Janelle, too. Why would you suspect Janelle?
would janelles boyfriend be possibly mike clay? just wondering!
3 anomalies!!?? And they don’t follow up? Ridiculous 😢
I wasn’t really familiar with this case until I watched this video. Very thorough research done on this case in your presentation. A very heartbreaking case with a no doubt sinister ending to these beautiful lives🙏
Thanks for the recap. I enjoy watching you guys.
I love this channel because I love the synopsis first, speculation second approach. Great job!
I'm always uneasy when I hear law enforcement ruling out a potential suspect on the basis of that person passing a polygraph.. Polygraphs are junk science and there are all sorts of things that can cause a false positive or a false negative result. Keep in mind that, among others, Gary Leon Ridgway (aka the Green River Killer) passed two different polygraph exams in regard to one of his victims. And all the spies who have been caught in the military or Department of Defence in the last 50+ years had a history of successfully passing more than one polygraph as part of their annual security clearances--doesn't exactly inspire confidence.
So some of the potential suspects in this case seem only to be ruled out on the basis of successfully passing polygraphs--if you decide those results are neutral, well, is there anything else that rules them out?
Something about the Janelle and her boyfriend doesn’t sit right with me.
Agreed! They messed with a crime scene. There could have been evidence in the house but since they were in and out and touching and cleaning, they were either hiding something or just idiots. If you can't find someone don't mess with the scene!
What is wrong with these people!!!!! No wonder this is unsolved everybody around them were cleaning and covering up the scene!! Oh and the accidental voice message
Truly horrific. The girls took off their makeup when they arrived, so definitely nothing was untoward then. Nobody knew they were going to stay there that night, not even themselves and no money taken?. I think the woman living there for only two months had a creepy stalker and it was a case of wrong place, wrong time for the girls
Elaine There was actually a Peeping Tom in their neighborhood that very night. And, apparently Sheryl had been outside in the carport refinishing furniture that evening. The Dental building parking lot next door is the perfect place from which to watch someone, as they tend to close early. Cary Stayner easily abducted a Mother and two teenaged girls, using a weapon and bindings. Purses gathered together at Susie's room entrance makes me think he'd mislead the women into believing momentarily that he was only going to rob them. Susie's room had french doors leading out to the backyard.
Yous two are great. So we'll researched and informative.
Thank you much, and thanks for watching.😊
The way they tidied up the home makes me want to scream! But they were so young and well meaning, and the thought that this was a potential crime scene likely didn't occur to them. Nobody expects anything like this to happen to anyone they know. Plus it was 30 years ago, so people weren't as aware of the preservation of evidence as we are now. It's like everything that could go wrong did go wrong in this case. Ev-ery-thing!
Nope. You are correct. They tidied up because the smashed light was the start to things turning violent. Those two killed them.
@@bari2883 Which two?
@@TheBlacksheep2020 the girls friend and her boyfriend that went there and swept up the light.
@@bari2883 I think so too. Maybe that possibility was investigated but there wasn't enough evidence to charge them. What's almost a certainty is that a couple of those girls "friends" or boyfriends had something to do with it. At this point I think it's too late as the police have nothing, not even bodies.
Upon hearing the disturbing facts of the missing “Springfield Three” case, I keep coming to these conclusions -
Sheryl was the target. I only say this because the decision for Susie and Stacie to stay at Sheyl’s house was a very last minute decision. That means if someone was stalking Susie and Stacie, he or they, got very lucky that out of nowhere Susie and Stacie just happened to go off to an isolated house where he/they could attack them instead of the staying overnight as originally planned at the house of dozens of house guests where attacking them wouldn’t be possible.
On the other hand, Sheryl was scheduled to be home, at first (all alone) for the entire evening. These circumstances lead me more towards Sheryl was the target, and Susie and Stacie ended up in the wrong place as unplanned victims. Just the chain events, lead me to feel Sheryl was the target.
I may be wrong, of course, as there’s not enough concrete information, but I’d really start there, or authorities should start there, specifically with Sheryl.
What was Sheryl’s life like during that time period, what were her relationships, friends, business dealings, everything? Who would have had something specifically against her to go to the trouble of entering her house, kidnapping her and making her vanish? And eliminate the other 2 girls too as collateral damage with out blinking an eye, and cover up the crime so well?
Also, I tend to think at least 2 men were involved, maybe more, but at least 2, only because it would be difficult for one man to remove 3 women from the house and keep them under control. Not impossible mind you, as I guess one perpetrator could, but I think 2 would have a safer chance of controlling 3 hostages.
Although Bart has a troubling history, I don’t think he’s involved with the crime. However, any of the other suspects (or similar creeps out there like that) are definitely possible contenders, but no solid directions to say exactly who?
And Lastly, if Robert Cox is really involved, are we seriously to believe he’ll volunteer the information if his mother dies. Right. Why? Cox has nothing gain and everything to lose. Whoever did this has gotten away with it unfortunately for 3 decades now. And if involved, Cox has no reason to change that now, unless he’s made to talk, something that can to benefit him, so I doubt he’ll talk, even when his mother dies. And that’s assuming he’s not full of shit to begin with.
Man, this case is frustrating and scary all at once, frustrating due to the lack of good leads to follow, and scary that in a 6 hour window of between 2am and 8am that day, something very bad happened to these 3 women by one or several very bad people, and to this day, three decades later, we know practically nothing else.
But my condolences to the victims, and I still hold out hope that one day, this terrible case may finally be solved and the perpetrators held accountable.
You referred to the house they were abducted from as being isolated. It's not. There are other homes around it and the house is the first house on your right when turning onto E. Delmar from S. Glenstone, a very busy thoroughfare that runs all the way from the Southside of Springfield to the Northside of Springfield.
I worded that part wrong as I didn’t mean to say the house itself was isolated, I meant more like the house was isolated from all people on that particular evening, as Sheryl was supposed to be the only occupant.
@@brianmorash3962 Thanks for letting me know. In that case yes it was isolated. 🙂
Cheryl was an extremely busy Cosmetologist at that point with 250 of her own clients. She was known to help a client even if she had to wait on being paid. Apparently at that point she was known as being a homebody, and that night was working on refinishing an old dresser. Before her daughter went out that night, Cheryl and Susie had a pizza together at home, I believe. ☮️💜
Cary Stayner in Yosemite used a gun and tied 3 women up to subdue them. He abducted, raped and murdered them. They were found in their burned rental car some time later.
It took only one time listening to this video to make me a fan for more. I love the way it was narrated because my mind could see the whole story play out. Good stuff and I'm now subscribed.
Love your channel ❤
Btw, I love your show! I appreciate immensely how thorough your information is and how youve investigated any possible angle or suspect. I dont feel left hanging after watching you guys, even if the crime hasnt been solved. Great job!!
I remember when this happened. I was living in Arkansas at the time. Its crazy that these women have yet to be found. No signs of them at all...crazy!!
Happy Thanksgiving guys!!! Than you for the Recap!!!
Happy Thanksgiving!!
Keep this story alive. Someone out there knows the answer.
One of the things I've always found odd about this case is how could just one person overpower three young (two of them especially) and healthy people and why would he choose to do so. Would have not been easier to only target one if this was indeed a random act of violence? And in their own home, on top of that? The third parked car definitely holds the biggest evidence for me. But after all these years ...
Put a knife to one's throat or gun to one's head and they would most likely comply. Have one tye the hands of the other. It can be done. BTK controlled whole families this way.
I know it seems unbelievable, but look up Cary Stayner in Yosemite. He abducted, raped and murdered 3 women by himself with a gun and tied them up to subdue them. He was the Maintenance man at their hotel. They were found later in their burned rental car. He was a burgeoning serial killer. ☮️💜 Also, that very night in their neighborhood there was a peeping Tom, 3 doors down from their home. Sheryl had been outside refinishing furniture in her carport that evening. Detective Ken Mains from unsolved no more believes he watched Sheryl from the Dental building parking lot next door. I believe the purses were all neatly together in Susie's room , because the perpetrator mislead them into believing he was only going to rob them. Susie's room has french doors leading out to the backyard.Also, Ted Bundy and BTK began as peeping Toms.
The person uses empathy to overtake them like I'd u run u r the reason ill slit her throat. So they feel guilt to stay
Where u r most likely getting killed anyway so f ur friend every man for themselves. Much safer. Just like cave diving. Don't risk ur life to save someone else cus that's two dead instead of one. U limit loss
I’m assuming that it was planned and the mom was the original target. The girls caught a case of wrong place wrong time. Also if u watch other videos the comments from locals say that the mom wasn’t as innocent as she seems she allegedly attracted the wrong crowd
I also found it odd really odd that Susie and Stacy kept rearranging their their plans for the evening! I thought that was weird, they kept going from one house to the next..it just seemed..... like some really erratic "planning" I'm sayin. I mean, every time they would make a plan they wouldn't stick to it!
that time... that evening, I just think that's strange!
I wonder if that has anything to do with what happened to all three of them..
What do you mean?????
This mystery has always baffled me. It's crazy. I definitely think the girls were followed there from someone they knew and all 3 were kidnapped from the house
Thank you guys enjoyed hearing this terrible crime so unbelievable , makes me count my Blessing !
I love your stories. Have a blessed Thanksgiving
Great recap ! love ur channel! Thank u!
Thank you too!
I lived in the Kansas City metro at this time. It was a horrendous mystery that continues to this day. 30 years as of last year.
It would be horrible to have someone that you love go missing and then you add to that the fact that you never had any answers to what happened to them!
You did your homework on this good job. My opinion is Sherrill had someone over that night. Suzie was gone for the night so she wasn't supposed to be back. I've always thought Suzie parking the way she did meant someone else was parked there. Sherrill's friends saying she didn't have a boyfriend doesn't mean anything. Sherrill was an older woman who seemed kinda private with her social life. She may not have felt the need to let people know her personal business and maybe she would have told a friend that she had a man come over that she liked but she never got the chance.
It's always mentioned that Stacey left in nothing but her underwear and T-shirt. What girl who is planning on being away for over 24 hours doesn't have a change of clothes with her ? Most girls that age have clothes in their car. I don't see Stacey getting up that morning and not taking a shower. How many people put on dirty underwear after taking a shower ? It's impossible to know for sure Stacey didn't have a change of clothes with her.
The girls didn't get back to the house till at least 2:30 am. Who knows what they walked in on. Maybe Sherrill was watching TV with her friend or maybe they where in bed asleep who knows. Maybe Sherrill wasn't too happy about Suzi showing up or maybe the man wasn't or both. An argument could have broke out. Suzi had already moved out once before to live with Bart so they didn't always get along.
I don't put much credence in the serial killer theory. If someone had Sherrill in their sights I doubt they are going to take a chance with 2 extra cars there. Why take them anywhere ? That's just taking way too much of a risk. He would want to leave that house with no one in tow. It's not easy to hide 3 bodies for ever. Tying them up and killing them in the house would make more sense. No one is going to leave money behind regardless what they are there for.
The door being unlocked is odd. In my opinion it shows they left that way. Who was the last person to pull that door shut ? Unfortunately there was never a chance to get finger prints. A killer imo would want that door locked. The killer would have no idea who was going to show up and when but with a locked door that person most likely would have assumed they weren't home.
Where did the $800 come from ? Was that her take home pay for the week ? I doubt it since she worked for a business she wouldn't have gotten paid by the customer. It's also too much for tips. I wonder what denominations the money was in. If someone was going to kidnap you I would think you would offer them money to let you go. Even if it didn't work the money would have been gone.
All the purses lined up like that is weird. In an interview with Bart he mentions something about the purses being moved. I thought he said one of Suzie's friends moved them. I'll have to listen to it again to hear exactly what he said. If it was only Sherrill and Suzie who disappeared I would say there is a good chance they just ran off for what ever reason to start a new life but Stacey being there tells me this unlikely scenario didn't happen. I think Stacey was collateral damage.
Hya from Uk xx this popped up and I clicked fast 😊
Awesome! Great to have you here!
Ahhh.. forgive me for the late comment, I am now in the middle of a binge 🥰 This one always gets me. I think to myself how do 3 women just disappear with nothing leading anywhere. Well then, I might take a walk in a park by myself and look out into the vast amount of trees, and go... Oh, I see. So many places to put or bury bodies, its a big world out there. Sad as that is 😔
Well done Chris & Amy. Baffling case.
Thank you for checking this case out. Totally baffling. One of those real Mysteries.
One thing that really bothers me about this case is WHY THE HELL DID THEY CLEAN THE HOUSE!!!!??? Why did they wait so long to report them missing?
They thought they were helping. Did I see video that at least part of the house was really messy? Maybe they couldn’t stand being in the house bc it was so dirty.
Love starting my day with some TCR. Consistent top quality content. Love you guys 🤘🏻😈❤

Best comment ever! Means so much, thank you!
Thanks to Mike and Amy, this is so horrible! I can remember being the girls' age and all the fun I had with my best friend .
This is one of my true crime obsessions. I hope they solve this case soon.
I remember seeing billboards with their faces on them when I was a child. Wow makes me feel old! There has also been the son of a very very wealthy family in Springfield suspected for years. I believe Stacy went out with him.
@Chantel Gangi no but his family owns a business.
I know who you are talking about, and stacy never went out with him. Stupid rumors like this have never helped the chances of it being solved. Too much wasted time on garbage theories.
Currently living in Springfield. My oh my, has it gone to crime.
Has turned into one of those towns where you step outside at night, and there is a good chance you will hear gun shots blasting off in the background...
I live her also, have all my life. You are being a little dramatic lmao
After watching this episode (after midnight) I'm gonna need to visit their sponsor for therapy! This episode gave me the creeps. lol
Wouldn't it be interesting to know how many people have been murdered since the beginning of time? Because being a true crime fan, it seems every second person has either been murdered or is missing
I have solved the case. They all were killed by Janelle and her boyfriend. First they knew to much about the patterns of the Mother and daughter. They had ready explanations for the two to contaminate the scene. Secondly, using a new method of obtaining clues from victims, all three knew the murderer.
Thank you Columbo

It could too be like the Cary Stayner case in Yosemite involving a Mother and two teenaged girls. ☮️💜
When you realized something is wrong and 03 people are missing would you spent time cleaning the shattered glass as a help for the owner . And conveniently they brought few others inside the house just to tamper the evidence and also deleting a voice message . It's has to be them jennel and her boy friend . At lease they got something to do with the disappearances. They worked out everything which wasn't normal in that house yet they never bothered to inform the officials.
Janel and Mike were waiting on Suzie and Stacy to go to the water park.
They went to Suzie’s, noticing the broken glass Mike swept it up bc Janel was barefoot.
The phone rang and Janel answered it to a prank call.
Mike and Janel didn’t take people to the house.
Stacy’s mom accidentally erased the “nasty” voicemail.
Family and friends came to the house with Stacy’s mom and ultimately called police.
@@amandanegrete1306 They did quite a lot to help police with the investigation. And also they thought a lot about Janel's feet...
I'm not for certain. But I believe that the men who killed and held and ate a captive woman in Lebanon Missouri have recently been looked into for this crime? Hopefully some answers come sooner or later. These Beautiful Ladies deserve it. Sad story.
Yes! Keeping a close eye on this story....
It’s so bizarre to me that there isn’t a person out there with a few thousand bucks to pay a scientist or drilling company to take core samples and close this lead out. If the hospital is willing to allow it then it seems ludicrous that this hasn’t been done. I think the richest family in the world lives pretty close to Springfield MO.
but where did the lead come from snout the parking garage?
I really wish the Cox South Hospital parking garage theory would just go away permanently.
It's obviously bullshit.
@@forhim9861 a pshychic. zero credibility.
Best true crime duo ever.
I've heard that the friend was supposed to sleep at janelles but changed her mind and went to susies. I think janelle went there with mike offended about stacey snobbing her sleepover and the light was smashed by janelle and this started a fight that turned into murder. They know what happened to the three.
hm I found it strange how they give a story about getting two calls. I mean why would a perpetrater then be calling back, sounds ridiculous to me. And many are saying it seems investigators are covering for someone? could it be them, tampered evidence, deleted call? yet they won't say who deleted call? huh? I mean I don't want to accuse anyone but have these two really been looked into?
Actually, the girls ended up going to Cheryl's house because Janelle had a ton of company, so her house was too crowded. ☮️☮️
…Um, Well, Sadly -to answer the thumb-nail posed question-
I’d definitely lean to that they are not alive -
And almost assuredly were murdered shortly after they went missing. ✌️
Thank you Chris for sharing.
