Welcome @American Dream! Excellent post! It's good to have you here.
Hi all... long time lurker, first time joiner/poster. I came across this case after vacationing in TN recently and seeing the missing person posters for Summer. What a precious little girl, this is incredibly sad. I've taken the time to read through almost all of the posts in the thread as well as watch some of the YouTube videos. 28 threads later, I think a few members have really hit it on the head in the last few posts.

I've read about other cases where internet sleuthing has been impactful, even two (at least) cases from here where a WS'er provided the tip that solved the case. Given that we don't even have an LE verified timeline here, unfortunately I don't think that will be the case with Summer.

Whatever facts LE has (which I'm sure they do), they are holding tight for likely very good reasons. With the info we have here, we have... well.... very little. Perhaps nothing in terms of what's important.

^ This. LE either already has this data or is working through warrants to get it. If/when they get it, they will only make public any piece of data they think will perhaps put pressure on someone if they believe foul play was involved.
Summer's disappearance is so incredibly disheartening, and given the (little) info we have, the best course of action for all of us is to pray and think positive thoughts for Summer's safe return.
Glad to be part of the WS community.
Could it have had a third seat? Because it not, then that would mean that Don, Candus, Summer and three boys would have never been able to go somewhere together. I'm thinking it maybe did have a third seat. JMOSomeone in the last thread pointed out that the Subaru Crosstrek wouldn't have fit all the kids plus mom and grandmother since it only has room for 5. Short of doubling up two kids I don't know if any of their other vehicles would fit more than the 4 kids and a driver.

I have a very big problem with the 7 pm sighting. this was after the 911 call. Doesn't make any sense at all.I posted the video in my response where LE said the time of Summer’s disappearance is
I cannot answer why LE would change the initial last seen time. Her age was initially reported incorrectly. I’m simply saying it doesn’t make sense to me to report her missing at 6:30 pm but say she was last seen at 7:00 pm, IMO.
Here are some articles that do not include 7pm as last seen:

I had a CrossTrek too and no third row back seat. It was a nice little vehicle, but could definitely not fit a family of 6.The Crosstrek doesn't. (I have one.) The larger Subarus (Outback, Forester) have the third seat it as an option.
I'm guessing that if they have to, they just squeeze all four kids into the back seat, and take two cars if CH comes along.
That is so weird. Did DD get this all wrong?Also odd was that in the (allowed) interview with the church friend, DD said CB showed him and officers video of the boys swimming that day. He also said he didn't know where CH was during that time.
I assume DD was simply mistaken or confused but maybe something was said that sounded like the boys had gone along that day? I don't know what he meant by "and some." Another mystery IMO.

According to him, Candus is showing the officers pictures off the boys swimming and saying it was earlier on the day Summer went missing. Why would she tell LE that if it wasn't true?

It is such a weird thing to be mistaken about. He knows the boys very well. So he would not think that H was actually any of her siblings.I think he was mistaken.
MOO
The only Subaru that has additional seating is the Ascent. I have a new Forester and when looking at other options the Ascent was attractive but I decided to stick with the Forester. When my kids were little I drove Toyota Land Cruisers which did have a third seat. I think the Chevy Suburban also has more seating. I'm not sure which other SUVs have both extra seats and 4WD/AWD.Could it have had a third seat?

Maybe there is something in the water down there lolFunny how everyone is mistaken in their recollections except for the Wells, huh ?
