AMBER ALERT TN - Summer Moon-Utah Wells, 5, Rogersville, 15 Jun 2021 #28

[potatoes13]

Funny how everyone is mistaken in their recollections except for the Wells, huh ?

I didn’t mean to imply that, he certainly could have been told that, but I don’t think it’s accurate. Don’t know why he would be given misinformation.
MOO

 

[MsMarple]

This is Grandma's vehicle were talking about right?
Since there wouldn't have been enough room that could be why the boys were left home.
For them to all be at the amusement park together they must have a vehicle that's big enough for them all. Unless they rented one.

Or when necessary they took two vehicles. DW has a truck and CB has the Crosstrek.

 

[SLouTh]

And why did DD suddenly go radio silent?

Advised to by LE ….???? as the info could possibly be a “timeline discrepancy”????

Or perhaps he has simply lost faith in the Wells ????

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’ve always felt that must have been an initial error in communication.

 

[2.curious]

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.

So I think CB did show them pictures of her boys at the swimming hole. All he could be mistaken about is the date. But why would CB be showing officers pictures from another date?

And why did DD suddenly go radio silent?

I have been wondering why DD went silent for a while now.

The interview he did back in the beginning had a lot of conflicting information, I noticed right off.

Some of the statements could have been because he was told differently, like the boys swimming that day.
One statement I remember was that he said there were only about 5 or 6 dogs on the property.

He made several statements that were a little "off".

(475) LIVE Interview with Summer Wells Family Friend, David Dotson - YouTube

 

[TxLady2]

I don't think LE could tell DD not to speak out on camera. He's not family so whatever he chooses to do is really not their concern. I assume it is his choice not to... and he might have very good reasons for his silence.

 

[Mountain_Kat]

Maybe there is something in the water down there lol

Not one person says anything that's solidified by another.

moo

DD didn't strike me as someone who doesn't have his wits about him. In fact, he seemed quite intelligent to me. When he was asked something he didn't know, he said he didn't know. When he gave an answer, he seemed absolutely sure his answer was correct. I also don't believe for one second that he did anything to hurt Summer, or even saw her that day, so why would I NOT assume he was being honest and factual in his recollections ? Having said that, here's what he actually had to say about the video Candus showed him and LE. I'll leave it to others to decide whether or not they believe him.

60:09
okay um autumn is asking
60:12
you um you happen to mention a video
60:14
that you had seen of candace
60:16
showing the summer and the boys were
60:18
swimming yes
60:20
um do you know was that all of her boys
60:24
or was that
60:25
the young boy we were talking about uh
60:27
the the video i saw was
60:29
of uh summer and her three brothers and
60:32
but not the
60:33
not the other young man i was it was it
60:35
from that day or from a totally
60:37
separate time that you'd seen that video
60:39
that's uh
60:40
that that video that she showed me was
60:42
the date she showed me that day
60:43
that Summer went missing okay
60:46
did she say that it was taken that day or it
60:48
was taken a different day yes ma'am it
60:50
was taken that day
60:51
because okay they they had gone out
60:53
there swimming

 

[SLouTh]

I don't think LE could tell DD not to speak out on camera. He's not family so whatever he chooses to do is really not their concern. I assume it is his choice not to... and he might have very good reasons for his silence.

Agree with what you have said, however, would like to respectfully add that LE may be planning to call him as a witness of some description ??? And have possibly interviewed him as such??

LE may have just suggested they would prefer him not to give further interviews … rather than told him not to….

All IMO

 

[rosesfromangels]

Advised to by LE ….???? as the info could possibly be a “timeline discrepancy”????

Or perhaps he has simply lost faith in the Wells ????

JMO

Or perhaps he was inundated with crackpots demanding he provide answers he doesn’t have. He likely, and wisely decided to get out of the spotlight.

amateur opinion and speculation

Last night the Cher's went from her channel to his and communicated with DW several more times. They started off by reading a text message that DW had asked them to read.
01:01
yeah don had uh sent a text message
01:04
and he would like us to read it out
01:08
so he said
01:10
we could use help in our area looking
01:12
for summer we didn't realize how bad it
01:15
really is here people don't want us in
01:17
their areas asking questions and looking
01:19
around we need help
01:21
we went down some roads today and could
01:23
hear the soundtrack from the movie
01:25
deliverance pretty bad to say the least
01:28
yeah don's mentioned that a few times
01:30
that uh like from the from the air
01:33
all you see is trees but there are like
01:35
these tiny little houses and shacks that
01:37
people are living in
01:39
and you know they own property and
01:40
everything
01:41
and
01:44
it sounds like they don't want anybody
01:48
searching on their property i don't know
01:50
if law enforcement ran into issues
01:52
searching there but eq search did say
01:55
that that they were a lot of people were
01:57
coming up saying no you can't search
01:59
here and stuff like that so
02:01
i get the feeling there's a lot of areas
02:03
right around don's house that haven't
02:04
even been looked at
02:06
which is kind of concerning

Following is a transcript of a phone call from Cher to DW. She started by asking him about the phone call he made to CB on 06/15 when she was at Walgreens, and asked if he had said anything about a man on the property trying to grab children. DW goes on to talk about problems he is having with his efforts to search....he wants help. At 20:58 Candus can be heard crying and yelling in the background. She doesn't want him talking on YT.

17:11
calling
17:12
cw saying there was a guy on property
17:16
trying to grab the kids i don't i heard
17:19
this
17:21

17:23
said when he called her
17:25

17:49
i don't like to just make up
17:51
so we'll see what he says if he even
17:53

18:46
while and

property and go in their house
20:33
and stuff like that right
20:35
i mean i don't know what to do
20:37

20:39
these areas are so shady
20:42
in every way
20:43
and like drug areas or whatever it is
20:47
and they were having the search parties
20:50

21:05

I'm having difficulty copying the transcript for the next call so will post it separately. Following is link to broadcast.

 

[carbuff]

...
02:01
i get the feeling there's a lot of areas
02:03
right around don's house that haven't
02:04
even been looked at
02:06
which is kind of concerning
...

Snipped by me. Yeah, this is concerning.

 

[iQuill]

Where is Summer? That’s all ...Moo

 

[American Dream]

Thank you ALL for the warm welcome - it's very much appreciated.

One question - I know there is no clear timeline of full events, but one thing that really bugs me, is that we don't seem to know whether the boys were at home that day or if they went to work with DW. Am I remembering that correctly? That seems like a VERY easy one for LE to figure out, if I'm recalling this correctly it just doesn't seem to make any sense why that piece information is so difficult to nail down.

to my knowledge the only one who said the boys went to work with D is H. Why he would say that, I don’t know. Could C have told him that so A didn’t think they were home alone? Possibly.

New post on the Wells family website.
It's good to see the picture with the flyers posted.

Transcript for next phone call with DW from "Mr. Cher's" channel. He talks about how they chose Summer's name, then talks about trying to search in the back-roads and talks about LE. Near the end he starts rambling again about how Summer only wanted him for the first 18 months and how he is glad that CB spent quality time with her, etc. Candus can be heard briefly in the background at this point, and she doesn't sound happy.

65:09
was candace at the hospital at 8 am or
65:12
did she leave
65:13
home around it
65:14
i'm not sure

72:14
the time
72:17
but unfortunately
72:19
i mean
72:20
i just
72:22
they
72:23
i mean i know in this area they've
72:25
searched a lot they spent a lot of money
72:28
they've done a lot of work all that they
72:30
could do
72:32
i just feel and you know in my heart you
72:34
know you got all these underground
72:36
networks and they don't talk to law
72:38
enforcement they don't talk to nobody
72:41
you know where me
72:44
they can come in and search my house
72:45
anytime they can look up they can take
72:47
my phone like whatever i mean i'm not
72:49
trying to play mr perfect because i'm
72:51
not
72:52
but
72:55
i don't know
72:56
i just
72:57
i can't explain to people you know well
72:59
i'm just asking questions about summer
73:01

73:05
yeah
73:07
i wonder if you could go on the on the
73:09
news again
73:11
yeah i mean they definitely want me to
73:13
do that but every time i do you know i
73:16
look like a complete total idiot that i
73:19
am and you know that no
73:22
what if you had me like on video on the
73:24
side or something for some support or
73:26
something rooting on or whatever you'd i
73:29
think you would do fine
73:31
i don't understand why people can't come
73:33

@Unalienable Rights Kudos! How you could listen to that conversation and actually transcribe it, was amazing.

I had to read it three or four times to make any sense out it.

 

[MsMarple]

New post on the Wells family website.
It's good to see the picture with the flyers posted.

Thank You For Putting Up Signs (findsummerwells.com)

It's great to see flyers are getting posted but I'm at a loss here. The post links to FB where it warns that YT podcasts are detrimental to LE and the family. But both CB and DW chose to participate on YT podcasts more than once. What message is the family sending and aren't CB and DW "the family?"

Are they saying they (CB and DW) now regret talking to YT interviewers? Didn't DW talk to the Cher people just last night?

And I also see another post that says ...and God said 'I have heard your prayer.' Has something broken in the case? Wouldn't LE tell us about news? What prayer has been heard?

I'm really confused.

 

[Rose in SC]

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. JMO

Definitely not the Crosstrek. It's a cute little sporty car - can't image why a family of 6 would consider one when there are so many other options, even AWD, that would better suit their family. As a Subaru lover though, it's my dream car.

 

[Bodhi]

That is so weird. Did DD get this all wrong?

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?

Could it be true?

We don't know she told police that. It's more likely IMO the church friend didn't get a good look at the video or misunderstood what she was saying. After all, the focus that night was on Summer, who'd disappeared from home, not on who'd been swimming with her elsewhere in the early afternoon. It seems likely to me that the friend had a oblique view as Candus showed the video to the police officers. He saw or heard kids playing in the water. He mistook or assumed the boy in the video as one of Summer's brothers, and he assumed that all the brothers were there.
