Yep

Thanks.

He told CM on TIR, when explaining how he did drug runs to Mexico, with a chuckle, that “druggies have a hard time doing drug runs”.
<modsnip>

Yes, he said it and I heard it!

It’s her experience, she was abused, she chose to share it. If she felt like screaming it from the rooftops, why would anyone make Don “the victim”, ever, because she told her truth.

Moo....I do not understand going public about the sa of 40 yrs ago. Expecially as there is a child gone missing. I do understand reporting sa to le .,.moo

Likely because she was concerned he would deny it, IMO. I honestly don’t think we can comment on motivations involving someone reporting SA. Perhaps she felt it could be relevant and wanted it out to as many people as possible. Perhaps she was afraid DW would slander her publicly. We can speculate forever but even if there’s no reason besides to help herself heal by saying the words out loud, that’s a valid reason IMO. Summer is the victim here. But the step-sister is also a victim and should be treated as such, IMO.

Exactly

 

[R.U.Kidding!]

No, you are supposed to show you are responsible parents and responsible members of the community. My advice would be to stay completely out of the media and focus on your kids.

From an attorney, this seems like an excellent bit of advice. May I ask you this question?
If you were representing the Wells family what would your advice to them be regarding interviews with CM and now <modsnip: Name calling or name variations are not allowed>. IMO these interviews are nothing more than "clickbait", I notice CM followers have gone up considerably since his interviews. I am not sure what his purpose is, certainly, these interviews could jeopardize any case against the Wells family, don't you think. Do you know if they have their own attorney?
IMO I believe they are putting themselves in jeopardy with all these TIR interviews and SM videos dissecting every word. I feel very concerned for this family ! Finding SUMMER is IMPORTANT..how they live their life isn't, at least in finding Summer!
What do you think?

BBM - IMO, that is exactly the reason.

I liked this post but I honestly don’t think it can be liked enough. I’d bold it and make it a hundred times bigger if possible.

Are there any 5 yr olds, that you say 'love me more than anyone has ever loved me in my love' and do you ever say they love you so much that they need to be with you every night, and they sleep by your side, every night?

And that that they love you more than their parents? DW said Summer preferred him over CW.

 

[enw10110]

Replying to my own post. This pronoun switch ("We" to "I") in my opinion is should be explored. Pronouns are instinctive and require no pre thought. They are 100% reliable. If i asked you to recall an event in your life from the past and you was on your own, would you say "we"? , knowing you was by yourself? No, because your brain would not allow it. You wouldn't pause to think, should i say "I" or "We". For me, this change is significant, especially, because, this is unique and doesn't happen to a family every day. Why he changes, i don't know. It has my attention, however.

That completely fits my theory that he had the boys with him that day. I strongly believe they weren't home when whatever happened to Summer. IMO, DW brought them back and dropped them off at the creek... that's why they were the first people he saw, and that's why he didn't go up to the house first. IMO, that's also why he had the Subaru that day instead of his truck. MOO

IMO it's because the SA was done by Don (he admitted it) when the little step sister was just 5, and lasted for 7 years or more. When he got out of prison at age 19, he tried to SA her again, but she told her parents. So, when the family saw that Summer went missing at the same age, that raised the alarms. Plus the way he refers to Summer is simply bizarre and creepy. IMO

I have no problem with the first part of your post, and think that this may be the first time in DW's life that he had the experience of unconditional love as expressed by Summer. This makes perfect sense to me if it is in fact the case.

From my perspective, it is not up to me to understand how, or why, or when a SA survivor decides to share his or her story. As a SA survivor myself, I have chosen not to share my own story. My reasons are mine and mine alone. I owe no one an explanation for my choices. Period.

MOO

 

[PhoneJockey]

Can someone help me pin down a time stamp? In the second part of the SJ analysis, CM says that he knows the results of DW and CW drug tests and knows what they "both" has in their system, IMO implying that they both were dirty for the same thing.

 

[NuttMegg]

I have no problem with the first part of your post, and think that this may be the first time in DW's life that he had the experience of unconditional love as expressed by Summer. This makes perfect sense to me if it is in fact the case.

Yet, he frames that unconditional love by the little girl's dislike of her mother for the first couple of years of her life, (Don says) and that her own mother had to COERCE Summer to like her, by taking her on car outings. There is so much more, that is flat out creepy, IMO, with Don awakening with Summer's leg under him, and his covering her up or whatever.

Just a few general comments about TIR last last night.

1. I have had to listen to this DW interview several times, over several days, to try to make sense of DW comments about the co-worker in the yellow pathfinder carpooling with DW. For what it's worth, I do believe he is talking about a different day than the day Summer went missing. His answers to CM's question were a huge bowl of word salad that I believe both CM, SJ and DW himself got lost in. In other words, I think CM is mistaken. JMO.

2. What I did find particularly interesting, though, is that it is when DW is talking about the trip to Utah that he makes the comment about always knowing that something would happen to Summer. Obviously (to me anyway) these 2 things are related in his mind somehow. <modsnip> it is interesting to note that, at the very least, DW seems to have made a mental connection between always knowing that something would happen to Summer and this trip to Utah.

3. In the phone call CM played of CW and DW at the beginning of the show, I think we get a much more accurate view of CW than what we saw in her TIR interviews. She is not a shrinking violet. I'll leave it at that.

All MOO

I've wondered about #2 also. It seemed to be alluded to early on and then put aside, at least here. IIRC, there were different accounts about which son Don took with him to Utah--<modsnip> The seeming lack of structure of their day-to-day life (regular meal times & bed times) from the adults <modsnip> I realize it is summer, and before that probably learning remotely. My kids enjoyed unstructured childhoods for the most part, but the basics of meals and bedtimes were consistent. So I am not judging the parents harshly for allowing the children unstructured time to play, grow, and learn. But I am wondering if the basics were also haphazard <modsnip>

 

[LietKynes]

You have to listen to the actual video that was posted… just because it was not included in the brief promo does not mean he didn’t say it. It’s been linked to multiple times in this thread.

bbm
It's also in the media thread and clearly marked.
Speculation : I think that DW is trying to deflect with his interviews to various and sundry.
But it looks like LE are patiently waiting for a break.
This case is far from cold.
Imo.

What do you think?

I would tell them what I tell all my clients - don't talk to anyone. Don't talk to the media. Don't do any interviews. Everything you say can be used against you and you don't get any points for doing an interview.

I tell people to log out and stop posting on their SM accounts. Ignore what people say. Focus on your family and your job and your case. The only thing that matters is what LE says and what charges are brought so you are not doing yourself any favors by playing to the media.

The people who successfully play the media have very experienced PR and communications teams. Every statement is workshopped. It's never off the cuff and it's never uncontrolled.

<modnsip>

Yes, I remember. He must have been his best customer!

 

[SMK777]

I remember it, too.

Thanks
