WHERE ARE THEY? [TRUE CRIME ] - Ep. 12 - The Springfield Three - What Happened to Them?

First and foremost, I want to preface this by saying that when I started to investigate the case of The Springfield Three, I had no idea what I was getting into. As you know, I do my best to give you an episode a week, but that is not nearly enough time to delve into all of the intricate details about this case.

 

That being said, what you’ll learn here today are details from local Springfield newspapers at the time of the crime up to and including this year, 2022. I’ve included as much as I could find without it being completely overwhelming, but just know that for every piece of information available, there were countless others just waiting in the wings to get added. The whole case is like a multi-layered Rubix cube; when you turn one corner, something else changes.

 

Others have covered this case incredibly well, and one, in particular, is a woman who grew up in the area at the time the crime occurred. I’ll have her information available for you at the end of this podcast if you want to hear more. It’s a fascinating case full of “whodunnits,” and just when you want to point the finger at someone, someone else pops up.

 

I sincerely hope that, for the sake of the families, that one day, this will be solved. It’s been a long 30 years.

 

With that said, let’s get to the case of The Springfield Three.
