AMBER ALERT TN - Summer Moon-Utah Wells, 5, Rogersville, 15 Jun 2021 #32

[AgeofAquaruis]

Same. Can’t stop thinking about SW. I even dream about her. Last night I woke up startled and thought wow I know what happened to her. Then my dream memory vanished. But my dreams are such BS because I also dreamed that a doctor implanted a *port* inside my arm. Don’t ask me what a port is. I have no idea.
Please let Summer be found ASAP

A port is for getting access for giving intravenous meds such as Steroids, chemo ect . It can be left in, so you can back to Dr office, infusion room, and get hooked to get meds so you don't have get poked with a needle each time you go back.

I keep coming back to "lost in the woods.". IMO CW has not been forthcoming about the length of time before she checked on Summer in the basement. I don't mean 2 vs 15 minutes but much longer than that. IMO CW has minimized the time, probably due to guilt and fear of CPS and possibly DW. There may have been ample time for Summer to wander deep into the woods, become disoriented, and be seriously injured. I think CW took off in the truck looking for Summer because she knew wandering off was a real possibility. Maybe Summer had even done it before. IMO DW jumped to the abduction conclusion based upon the 2 minute scenario. Of course, this is all just my opinion but it wouldn't surprise me at all if Summer is found in the woods. I do wish they would search again.

I know we are very much in the minority, but this is my theory as well. I've followed far too many cases here, with far less complex terrain, with far bigger missing individuals than tiny little Summer, and sometimes they are found months or years later in areas previously searched, or never found.

Honestly, I thought it was a oft' used southern expression. Jumped right up, set right up.... Need some bonafide southerners to weigh in on that perception.

Amateur opinion and speculation, y'all. ; )

Been in the South for 25+ yrs. Its a normal expression, and so is the context. I think CW was just trying to convey that Summer had enthusiasm for whatever- like planting the flowers.

I am from Tennessee. I have always lived in the south.

I have heard of people saying this, yes. That really wasn't the point though. It was said twice kind of close together referring to a child that not only was said to be healthy, but quite active.

It has just started bothering me. Moo jmo imo

 

[AgeofAquaruis]

What happened to 5-year-old Summer Wells? What we know one week since she went missing What was she actually wearing when she got gone? What is the actual timeline? Who was where, and when? Sorry if I don't exactly trust someone with such a record, and those who's CW, and DW words,and actions have been what they have been from the get go,since Summer went missing,and even before that. MOO

 

[Fleur-de-lis]

It actually sounds like an ideal time to make a trip, with the boys in CPS care and before travel gets hectic/pricey due to the holidays. I have little sympathy for the parents at this point, but it is perfectly reasonable - and healthy - for them to take trips and do normal things. The idea that they spend every waking minute weeping or searching isn't realistic. Recognizing that life goes on and caring deeply for a child are not mutually exclusive things. JMO.

But how well HAVE they searched? MOO

 

[Sundog]

Your child is missing and you take a trip to Utah to make a memorial? Who’s feeding the dogs and cats? Who is searching for Summer? I wouldn’t leave my home in case they found her. I’d be searching in those woods everyday JMOO

DW's father lives in Utah and is elderly and not well. It may have been important for him to go back home and see him while he can.

 

[TeaTime]

Where do you suggest they look? 1,200 searchers spent weeks searching the 5 mile radius of the home.

The dogs lost her trail at the end of the drive where it meets the road. Across from the drive of the lady who heard the scream.

Where do they go? Personally search to the 5- 6 mile perimeter? 6-7?

I am not sure what people expect of them. They are keeping her face and her story out there. So the public can look too.

LE has said that they (LE) have searched. Equusearch searched. FBI, cadaver dogs, etc. Tons of various professionals have searched - does it matter “how well” the parents have searched at this point?

That's how I've always heard it used; a way to express that the person was excited or enthusiastic about what they were about to do; i.e., you didn't have to cajole or convince - just the mention of it had them anxious to participate.

DW's father lives in Utah and is elderly and not well. It may have been important for him to go back home and see him while he can.

DW and CB-W make it hard to feel any sympathy for them. Really hard. That said, as Sundog points out, this may be a needed trip, or it may be DW is seeking a bit of reprieve from the sadness and chaos surrounding his homestead. Given what we have heard from his various relatives, I'm not sure he'll find that.

The parents may know of hidey holes that searchers couldn't find, or at least easily. Regardless of how many resources and passes have been made, I think another search is needed.

This time, with a different approach. I'm suggesting the focus be on secondary surfaces; where a tiny little sprite like Summer could have slipped between objects and have fallen, wedged, or lays under the primary surface. Drop cams will be needed to find her, which are expensive and not easy to come by. There are other less expensive (and less effective) ways to create a drop cam, and I hope they deploy as many as they can.

Despite the searchers and the dogs, I believe she has been missed. It happens frequently. It's very hard to find someone outdoors, let alone such a tiny little child in such dense terrain. I do believe Summer will be found, but it's going to take a different search strategy to find her. Get under, look up! Look down between objects, however improbable and small looking.

Amateur opinion and speculation

 

[tedtink]

This may have been theorised before and it's something that I don't necessarily believe but it is a possibility.

I'd thought about this after watching the video's from Church and CM'D's interview with R. SW is constantly seeking attention from R and twists forward to look into Rs face for more attention even though she is being held and cuddled already, she plays with R's hair and seems to indicate putting it onto her own head.
I also took into account DW saying that SW never wanted her Mum as a baby and always wanted him in the first year. This could suggest an attachment problem with SW and CB in where SW looked elsewhere (to DW) for her emotional needs.
I've seen similar attention seeking in children with Mother/parental attachment issues, these children seek out adult attention, sometimes uninhibited and can go to anyone, including strangers to fulfil their emotional needs.

I wonder, and could be totally way off here, but could Summer have walked down to the road and have got picked up by a stranger or an older couple? Someone who at first wondered where she had come from. Could they have taken her back to their own place? (I'm thinking earlier than the reported timeline).

It it possible that we could be looking at a couple, who may never been able to have children, who may have lost a child, were desperate for kids and have decided to keep Summer? Or a person who has suffered and unable to overcome a loss of a loved one.

I say keep her, because once they initially saw news reports, perhaps they got spooked and realised they'd get into serious trouble, if they handed her back.

Perhaps after seeing more of SW's family set up online, they felt justified that they should keep her, as in their minds they could provide SW with what, they perceived, the love and care she didn't have? In return, fulfilling their needs too.
Perhaps they felt more justified when they saw the boys had been taken?

Yes, this would mean someone mentally unbalanced, and irrationally justifying the need to keep SM.

This might sound way off and like I say, I'm open to all theories, but thought Id put my thoughts down. It would mean a chance meeting where all parties' needs are fulfilled, but it does happen.

I didn’t realize the neighbour lived right across the road.

What are the chances she was hit by a car and the driver took her away? Like a hit and run but taking all evidence with them.

 

[December]

If someone tried to take SW to keep as their own, they better be on the ball because she would get away from them pretty easily the first time she got bored. That just seems to be the way she is.

She's the kid that wants to be outside running around and playing. Where she'd go and what she'd do, idk. I think she would miss her family, but idk if she would know how to get back to them as she's so young.

This assumes someone unhinged, but relatively benign. However, there have been cases of people imprisoning their own children, so...

I have heard of adults finding themselves on missing children's websites. So, i guess this could happen.

I have also wondered if someone gave her a ride (i know that would be extremely weird) and then let her off at the wrong place due to the numerous cops at SW's street. So, SW did get lost in the woods, but not her woods. I know that is weird, but i think somehow she got lost farther than she could walk, but not super far away.

People who know her say she "didn't talk much", but "when she wanted to, she could talk a lot". So, someone might think she was quiet, but I don't know that she is. She just talks when she feels like it. Which could be anytime. (Random thought here, sorry.)

SW was said to be wearing a pink top and gray shorts. She was barefooted.

If you don't believe CB at all, then the answer to all questions is pretty much, "we don't know". I play the throw everything the witness said out the window (just as an exercise, it doesn't mean i necessarily don't believe them, but i don't want to get too caught up in their story because I wasn't there). But, in this case, there is really nothing left because LE has not exactly given us an exacting rundown. Also, they weren't there until after the fact.

 

[passionflower]

I agree after seeing church videos SW really wanted female attention <modsnip> Her hands go up like a toddler to be picked up. <modsnip> JMOO

 

[renarde]

Maybe another search, using drones... they could look for a pink shirt:

Loc8 software is a useful tool for search and rescue

I just do not know. But, when the lady heard the scream, she dropped her purse. She was at the end of her drive where she was planting flowers. Per Don, their driveways are across from each other. She is not reported to have seen any vehicle in the area.

She dropped her purse while planting flowers? I thought someone said her adult children heard the scream too. I will have to go look for her statements.

If this woman and her adult children are accurate, I hope that they could replicate/imitate the scream. It would tell us a great deal, potentially.

I don't understand having her purse with her while gardening, this has been brought up before on here.
Her children are 19 and 14 years old.
Her story of that afternoon seems to get more & more exaggerated each time it is told.

Neighbor of Summer Wells says she heard a scream shortly before she went missing - YouTube

WJLD News11 TN

The sheriff was told about the scream in the beginning. It wasn't known to the public for several weeks when DW mentioned it in an interview with CM.
