Yeah, this case has been unusual so that may impact how much information LE is going to release and whether or not they're going to clear anyone before Summer is found.This isn't really true. I've followed several cases where LE has publicly cleared family members, both early on or weeks in. It just depends on the case and how the LE investigating choose to proceed.
This may be the first case I've followed where LE actually backpedaled on when the missing person was last seen; now they say early afternoon on the 15th. IMO it means LE isn't willing to clear family right now.
Investigators say the circumstances surrounding the disappearance of missing Hawkins County 5-year-old Summer Wells remain unclear and that is “outside of the norm” for a missing child case.

“While every case is different, this one is definitely outside of the norm,” said Tennessee Bureau of Investigation spokesperson Leslie Earhart. “Typically in an investigation like this one, we have some idea of where the case is headed and what might have happened within a few days. In this situation, despite doing everything within our power and exploring all avenues, the circumstances leading to Summer’s disappearance remain unclear.”
“I understand the lack of answers frustrates you and the public, but trust me, no one is more frustrated than we are.”
