My theory....
Mom took Summer and her friend for swimming without the boys. We often do activities with my granddaughter growing up in a house of boys.
Mom and grandma are planting flowers, weeding, I worked in the yard all afternoon, myself.
Summer was bored, ask to go home. She pops in the house, maybe tries to get the boys to play with her. Nope they are zoned out with video games. My grandsons are in online playing groups with their friends, they can even talk to each other, can't drag them away.
She pops downstairs, maybe drags out a few toys, looses interest or sees something outside and out the door she goes. Maybe a person, baby bunny, a fawn and off she goes.
Mom calls Summer, can't find her, they start looking. Neighbors help look for her. Mom calls dad at work, probably hysterical. I'm the mom that went from 0 to hysterical in seconds. Dad calls 911, 5:30 pm, beats LE to the house.
LE arrived 6:30pm takes the MP report. LE questions, family, neighbors, and searches homes. LE stated everyone was cooperative and no search warrants were needed.
Father believes she was taken. She just wouldn't go in the woods. Father nor LE have reported hearing a car, screams or struggle. MOO...if she was taken, was it on foot, how did they stop her from screaming? Did they take her into the woods?
LE is running down every lead, 44 agencies involved in search. LE/TBI are throwing every resource into searching the woods/ponds.
I've seen the most bizarre predicaments very young missing child get into, thanks to WS. When a 22 month old disappeared, of course everyone was sure he was taken. Nope, found 3 days later 1/4 mile way. He had climbed steep, treacherous terrain, and was sitting on a ledge.
I've experienced several miracle rescues. Praying for a miracle for Summer.
Moo....just a theory
