  • 117: MISSING: The Springfield Three
    Dec 15 2025
    At around 2:15 am on June 7, 1992, 18-year-old Stacy McCall and 19-year-old Suzie Streeter returned to Suzie’s home in Springfield, Missouri after a night of graduation celebrations. Suzie’s mother, Sherill Levitt, was already inside.

    Hours later, at 8:00 am, a friend called to finalize their plans for the day, but no one answered. When she went to the house, Stacy, Suzie, and Sherill’s cars were all in the driveway, their purses and belongings were inside, and the dog was there - but Sherill, Suzie, and Stacy were gone.

    Detectives quickly determined they had been abducted. An exhaustive investigation followed, with nonstop media attention. Despite this, no sign of the women was ever found.

    Thirty-three years later, Sherill Levitt, Suzie Streeter, and Stacy McCall are still missing, and the question remains: what happened to the Springfield Three?

    **If you have any information in this case, please call the Springfield Police Department at 417-864-1810 or Crime Stoppers at 417-869-8477. There is a $43,000 reward available.**

  • 116: MURDER: Suzanne Jovin
    Dec 8 2025
    On the night of December 4, 1998, 21-year-old Yale senior Suzanne Jovin left her apartment to return a carpool key to the campus police office. She told a classmate she planned to go home afterward and get some rest.

    Just over 30 minutes later, Suzanne was found stabbed to death nearly two miles away on a street corner in a wealthy neighborhood. Detectives determined she could not have walked there in the time available, leading them to believe she had been driven to the location by someone she knew.

    Despite multiple investigative efforts, that person has never been identified and no one has ever been charged with Suzanne’s murder. More than 25 years later, her case remains unsolved, and the question still lingers: who killed Suzanne Jovin?

    **21-year-old Suzanne Jovin was last seen around 9:25 p.m. on December 4, 1998, walking near Phelps Gate on Yale’s campus in New Haven, Connecticut.


    Anyone with information about Suzanne’s case is asked to contact the Jovin Investigation Team Tip Line at 866-623-8058 or email
    jovin.case@ct.gov. There is a $150,000 reward available.**

  • 115: MISSING: Tracy Ocasio
    Dec 1 2025
    On May 26, 2009, 27-year-old Tracy Ocasio spent the night watching the Orlando Magic game at one of her favorite bars in Orlando, Florida. She told her mother she’d be home afterward, but she never returned.

    The next morning, Tracy didn’t answer her phone, and by that evening, her yellow Chevy Cobalt was found abandoned just a few miles from her house - unlocked, with none of her belongings inside.

    But Tracy was nowhere to be found.

    Sixteen years later, she is still missing, leaving her community asking the same question: where is Tracy Ocasio?

    *On the night of May 26, 2009, 27-year-old Tracy Ocasio watched the Orlando Magic game at the Tap Room in Orlando, Florida and left around 1:30 a.m. She never made it home, and her mother discovered she was missing the next morning.

    That evening, Tracy’s yellow Chevy Cobalt was found abandoned a few miles from her house, with no sign of Tracy and none of her belongings inside. Surveillance footage later confirmed she left the bar with James “Jimmy” Hataway, who became the primary suspect.

    Despite extensive searches, Tracy has never been found. Her case remains open, and Jimmy has never been charged in connection with her disappearance.

    If you have information in this case, please call Crimeline at 1-800-423-TIPS.*
