Hope.

There's a fourteen-year-old case in Springfield Missouri. Three women -- a mother, her daughter, and the daughter's friend just disappeared from the mother's home virtually without a trace. There are sketchy accounts about a possible older green van in the area.

They have never been found, and the city has moved on to sad acceptance that they are most likely dead.

Then a story like this comes across the wires: A girl who disappeared ten years ago turns up alive.

It's a reminder that, though unlikely, some kidnapping victims ARE recovered alive, even a decade later. So we shouldn't give up searching for them and the evil that took them.

There is a $42,000 reward for the location and prosecution of the persons responsible for the abduction of the three women.

Anyone with information into the disappearance of Mrs. Levitt, Miss Streeter, and Miss McCall please contact the Springfield Police Department or CRIME STOPPERS.
