I agree kitty
But to me it exposes CW's tendency to say out loud what she thinks is the best received version. Its not fully truthful.
Its not rocket science to see why that's an issue.

I see a broken woman, devastated.
My heart goes out to her.
To my eyes she is a victim here.
I see the discrepancies, I do.
But I do not believe they are relevant.
If she left A's house with an alive sleeping Summer and if A is correct that the journey home is 45 minutes duration and if it's accurate that she dropped H off at 2.30pm and spent 10-15 minutes chatting then it is not unreasonable to assume she got home at 3.30pm.
Her outing timeline stops are not relevant IMO if Summer was seen alive and sleeping at 2.30pm- 2.40pm.
I can understand her walking Summer to the porch because I have a sense that Summer was a live wire, she'd had her nap, she'd had candy.....
Did she go to the basement? We do not know, only her siblings may have noticed.
She could quite as easily have left by the door she entered while Mum's back was turned.
The only event that causes me concern is that she, herself expressed a desire to return to the main house. I wonder why? Bored? Possibly. But she had candy and a source for candy, her grandmother. We know she loved candy from her dad's interviews if they are accurate.
Did somebody beckon to her? Did she see somebody familiar who indicated she was to return to main house?
Or did she go to basement? Why would she? Lovely sunny day, refreshed after her nap, boys all glued to computer games...
Maybe she did go to basement and collected a toy or something and let herself out the basement door?
Or was called out?
Recall the landscape had changed because of the tree trimming . That would have been fascinating to a 5 year old.
I'm not connecting her disappearance with her father's history.
Because there is no evidence that any connection exists.
There is no evidence that Summer was a victim of SA.
So, this remains a missing person case, a missing child.
