MHO, Whom ever came up with the (corn bread mafia) theory was totally out in left field. As someone who is a fan of the history surrounding the CBM and that era. that dog don't hunt. JMO.

Agree. Say what you want about the Cornbread Mafia, including doubt it exists/existed, none of them good old boys were stupid. Just one of the reasons few people are familiar with even the name. CW and DW would not be in that circle.

Summer we are still thinking of you!

I am of the current theory that Summer was left to sleep in the car while her guardians were nodding off in the trailer, and that they were too late to get her out and get help in time.
(I used to negate this theory due to no cadaverine detected but they could have found her just before that chemical process had begun)
I think drugs were involved, making a cover-up their only hope to stay out of prison/keep their family together.
Moo

The 'Piece of Candy' always bothered me. That's when everything went down Ben Hill Road For Summer. MOO.

I believe the day was exacerbated by a sticky seatbelt that little Summer couldn't release herself.

It always struck me, in CW's account of the day, her specificity -- helped Summer with her seatbelt and she popped right up.

And what's that rule-- let sleeping babies lie (just not in hot cars)? Warm day at the lake, warm car, too warm zip up outfit.... if she left Summer in the car because she was sound asleep... carried in the groceries... helped Grandma carry hers in, help adjust her knee brace, lose track of time...

Truth: CW unbuckled the seatbelt.

Summer didn't pop up.

That statement about her popping right up...hit me too. Red Flag

From the article…bbm

In July 2021, the Tennessee Department of Children's Services said Summer's brothers were removed from Wells' family home. Don said he and Candus recently signed over their parental rights.

Wow! They signed over their parental rights! That's a legal thing. Who brought on the proceedings? I'm assuming the state. But they could have themselves, signed over their rights.

To me. signing over rights is a big deal. My ex son in law signed over his rights to his daughter from a prior marriage to get out of the financial responsibility as he was entering into a new marriage and subsequent child, my grandson. And he was exercising visitation rights all the while until he gave up his rights for a new relationship and child. I thought lowly of him and felt sorry for his daughter. We remain in touch with his daughter who refuses to have anything to do with him even tho he reached out after she became of age. He also gave up his right to my grandson. I breathed fresh air that day! My grandson will have nothing to do him with either.
