A nearly 18-year-old mystery may be put to rest soon with the help of a vision from Mattawan's Ken Young. Stacy McCall and Suzie Streeter graduated from Kickapoo High School June 6, 1992. At the time, Stacy was 18 and Suzie just 19-years of age. Apparently, they planned to celebrate graduation with friends; however, the next morning, the girls (along with their mother, Sherrill Levitt) had vanished. A full investigation ensued and the three were never found, leaving the case classified as an "unsolved mystery."
If you went to Mattawan Schools in the 1980's, you will undoubtedly remember Michelle Bowman. Michelle was killed in an unfortunate accident while waiting for the bus to go to school one foggy morning. A rememberance of Michelle can still be found in the halls of Mattawan High School to this date. Ken Young decided, on April 10, 1986, while on leave from the Army, to visit Michelle's grave. He didn't have access to a car and decided to walk the round trip to Mount Ever-Rest Memorial Park in Kalamazoo. Ken told me "It was a perfect day and my walk took me past the area where she used to live." He also told me "When I did this, I honored her grave and this opened some doors. One of them was my vision with Stacy McCall on November 15th, 1998. Without Michelle, my vision with Stacy never takes place."
In Ken's vision with Stacy McCall "everything that she has shown me has either come true or is in the process of coming true. It took time to understand the vision. In April 2002, I figured it out. If I interpreted the vision correctly, the women were buried at Cox Hospital South in Springfield, MO. I wrote the Springfield Police Department in 2002 and again in 2004 telling them that I believed the women were buried there based on my vision with Stacy McCall."
Ken met reporter Kathee Baird in February of 2006 and shared his story with her as well. Kathee is a crime reporter with a blog she maintains and has the story on her website as well. During this time they worked together to sort out Ken's vision and the facts of the case, they received an offer by a man named Tim Gray. He claimed that he had a prototype GPR type of technology that could find human remains. Ken and Kathy took a chance and made arrangments for tim to come to Springfield to do some scans. He was to arrive in Springfield on April 17th. A week earlier, on April 10th, 2006, Ken visited Michelle's grave. He had not been there in 20-years. Kathee and Ken talked on their cell phones for several minutes during his visit to Michelle's grave. A week later, Tim Gray's instruments detected three anomalies at the Cox Hospital South Parking Garage. Unfortunately, this was not documented on video at the time.
A couple of months later, reporter Kathee Baird contacted Rick Norland to come down and do another GPR scan and this time, to have the event videotaped. He confirmed that the results were consistent with three graves. The video link is on You Tube with several other related videos on the disappearance of the three women from Kansas City, MO.
Despite the evidence consistent with anomalies under the parking structure, the police went on air and stated there would be no further investigation (February 2007). This past summer, Springfield, MO got another Police Chief, Paul Williams who has re-opened the case with new interest. Currently, Williams is considering bringing in national cold case investigators to bring peace to a family in Missouri who has had no answers to the whereabouts of these three women in the past 18-years.
The case of the "Three Missing Women" will be featured on an upcoming television program "Disappeared" on March 7th on the Investigation Discovery Channel.
If you, or anyone you know has any information on the disappearance of these three women please contact CRIMESTOPPERS at 417-869-TIPS (8477) or the Springfield Police Department at 417-864-1810.
While this story may not be about Ken Young, if his vision of Stacy McCall while paying respects at former classmate, Michelle Bowman's gravesite is correct, I think it certainly lends itself to the fact that everything really does happen for a reason and also opens up a few more questions in life. I guess you have to ask yourself if you believe in destiny or if people just get lucky?
