I think you have to go to the holler (the one they're talking about) on a road or quite some ways over rough terrain. I think this is the same road that, though maps don't really show it, allows access to another road that (a person who knows what they're doing) can use to get away from that general area.

I imagine part of it is a bumpy ride and maybe not possible with just any type of vehicle. But, CB was driving CH's truck. I don't know if CH's truck is capable of getting to that other road or not.

I think it is probably not from what CB said. Possibly nothing CB had at home with her at that time could do any better than CH's truck (DW's truck was there, idk if CB had the keys or not, but idk if driving it would be any better than driving her mom's).

Can the Subaru do it? Maybe?

I am sorry, I can not remember exactly where i saw all of this about the roads. It's in these threads, mostly where people are talking about roads or terrain. This can be in regard to searches, sometimes.

I am not trying to be difficult about the holler. I get, it is a weird word. But, it is not a place SW could easily and quickly make her way to.

I am sure there are ways to get to it that SW (or her brothers) might know. I don't know if it is possible to even get there without leaving DW's property because i am not sure about property lines.

This place is not a place that can be seen and supervised from the camper or house (such as the yard car area, which is in a lower part of their yard).

It has always been kind of weird to me that CB immediately drove as far as she could into the holler (after searching the basement, namely the bed because she describes looking under the blankets).

SW absolutely could not have gotten into the holler, if i understand its distance from her house, even running in good shoes. It's too far.

But, then, CB has always said someone took SW.
 
I just realized H might have talked to SW one on one more than anyone on 6/15. They waited in the car together during a few stops at stores.

CB was with her a lot, too. But, she had to drive and H was actually sitting by SW.

I’m still having trouble understanding how a young teenager became part of that day…

If somebody took a child, wouldn't they head to Beech Creek Rd and out of Rogersville as fast as possible? Not a dead end road with rural, watchful neighbors. Of course CB knows this. Now maybe she was covering all bases, but I also thought that statement about driving to the back of the holler was suspicious.

While I don't think it would be a great idea for a complete stranger unfamiliar to the area to plan on abducting a child from the immediate area of Ben Hill if they were planning on going unnoticed, it's also not exactly a dead end road, IMO. It is in the sense of a paved and accessible/named road, but there are actually several other ways you could get around and off the hill. Also, it seems that there were some people out looking at properties during that time period, which might mean unusual vehicles turning around in drives and on dirt areas etc. There are also farms and fields and some clear cut areas thru out, which with an appropriate vehicle you could easily pass. IMO.

For the people who think the 'holler' is referring to the 'dead end' of Ben Hill vs the people that think the 'holler' is referring to the location on the Wells' property: which specific creek/creek bed do you think CW was referring to when she said the boys could go down there (and search)? And where DW assumably said he saw his boys and a neighbor searching when he drove up (by the shed?)
 
All right, i have to insert the disclaimer that even though I am from Tennessee, the geography of Hawkins County is not familiar to me.

I think the holler is the "dead end" that is not a dead end.

I think the creek is on the Wells' property. This is why the boys played there frequently and why CB sent them to search.

Now, as far as the holler, i reckon the reason why a person would search it quickly, eschewing other avenues of searching including the way most people access the Wells' property, is because they have knowledge that some person or persons who are not law abiding use that route to travel in and out of the area. I suppose it is more discreet.

Perhaps the person searching knows a route, since they live in the area, that they wish to check. However, not all vehicles are up to the task?

I imagine wherever or whatever this is has been checked and explored extensively since that night. Perhaps even later that same night.

There are only two reasons to hop in the truck and frantically drive down there immediately: 1. SW did wander and this was where she wandered (i have no idea if this is at all likely, but if so she was not barefooted) and 2. The person(s) suspected are familiar with local byways. So, if they're not local, they have made sure to find out about this place and the person searching even before LE arrives knows this.

Now, even if CB thought #2 was the case on 6/15, evidence may have been found out since then (and maybe even later that night) proving that theory wrong.

ETA: i think SW is probably in Hawkins County, maybe Sullivan County. Jmo.

So, you think she wandered away?

I don't know really what happened. I think that it is possible. But, then she would be in Hawkins County.

I mean, there's no way SW walked from her backyard to Sullivan County. If she's there, someone would have taken her. Also parts of Hawkins County are just too far away for her to get on her own.

I started thinking about Sullivan County when i watched a video someone in the area made just driving around. This was made before SW went missing. They drove across the county line from Hawkins to Sullivan, stopping just to look at a little park.
 
Just want to throw a couple ideas out there....

We don't know the family's original plans for the day. Was it a scheduled doctor's appointment or emergent? Was Summer expected to tag along? Or alternately, might Summer have run to the end of the driveway and placed in the vehicle because she didn't want to be left behind? Maybe the brothers were expected to watch her, not at 3 or 5 pm but closer to 8 am. Maybe a brother DID see her go down the path, but not at 7 pm, at 7 am (just prior to the departure to the doctor appointment).

If Summer was an unexpected tag along, and the combination of the appointment itself plus the prescription delay made for a longer errand than expected perhaps that's what led to later spontaneous events, namely the swim hole and other people.

None of this explains or implies what happened to Summer leading to her disappearance but it might lend sense to some seemingly conflicting details.

When DW pulled into the area about their home and not into the driveway, the location where he said he then just knew Summer was gone, perhaps up until that moment, he fully expected it was a prank.

I long thought he saw something from that vantage that somehow confirmed an abduction. I now think it's possible that what he saw (which was a neighbor searching for Summer) confirmed to him that it wasn't a prank, that Summer really was missing.

This still doesn't explain or imply what led to Summer's disappearance, but again, but it might lend sense to some seemingly conflicting details.
