AMBER ALERT TN - Summer Moon-Utah Wells, 5, Rogersville, 15 Jun 2021 #4

[justaparent]

Yeah, but not everyone spends every waking moment on the internet, you know ? It's possible this person doesn't even know LE is looking for them. I'm sure it will be on the news tonight and tomorrow, so maybe someone will contact LE then. We can hope, anyway.

We are not very far away and most people I know had not heard about Summer’s disappearance. So it makes sense that the person might not know they are a possible witness, or whatever, if they live a bit away.

Here it says " officials have identified a toyota pick up truck ..."
That makes it sound more like they have surveillance footage rather than this just being an eyewitness report.

Maybe I'm wrong, but that's how it reads to me.

Maybe the sighting was near Summer's home and then later LE was able to "pick up" the described truck elsewhere in the area on surveillance... then asked the person to come in and see the surveillance on LE's video and identified it as the truck they had seen? So, only now does LE say they've "identified" the truck as being in the area? So, it's a little bit of both? I don't know!

People who like to go fishing use those buckets, too. Unfortunately, they're very commonly used for many things. Now, if someone thinks they know who that truck might belong to and suddenly the buckets have been "disappeared;" and the ladder hangers removed... that would be a good clue.

There are several red Toyota Tacomas in the area for sale on FB Marketplace. One listed 3 days ago... it's an older model but I need a picture to compare it to.

NVM, the one that would make sense is a 1989.

Amen!

While you're doing that, I'll just be over here using satellite imaging to scan every inch of ground between here and Memphis.

IMO, Maybe that is why they used the Amber Alert system without a possible vehicle/person. It seems like such a rural area that they would need all hands on deck to get the info out. I don't know this to be factual though.

 

[Mountain_Kat]

Okay, I've reached the stage where my frustration is starting to show itself in the way of snarkiness and inappropriate humor. Time for me to call it a night.

Let's hope tomorrow brings us closer to finding Summer. Where ever she is.

LE has not confirmed they and or the dogs have been in the house, camper, or in the cars, any outbuildings or old homes on the property. We have seen outside pics only from both LE and reporters. Irregardless of consent, TBI or other agencies would get a search warrant(s) for court value.

Everyone is a person of interest. DCF would not be allowed to take remaining kids out of home. Home is under watch 24/7 by LE.

LE has not confirmed nor denied any version nor part of any story about that day, except to say she was last seen in the early afternoon. * edited with correction

Remember Dolce? Nothing came from the car ID

One minor correction before I head to bed. LE said she was last seen in the early afternoon. They didn't say it was by a family member.

I am sorry- you are correct. I edited my post

 

[Mountain_Kat]

I am sorry- you are correct.

I just wanted to point that out because it's very telling, to me anyway, that LE doesn't seem inclined to go with the time frame her family members are giving.

Actually (to my surprise), Tennessee's Amber Alert system does not require a vehicle or perp/suspect description.

In order to issue an AMBER Alert, the following criteria must be met:
1. The person is 17 years of age or younger, and;
2. The child is in imminent danger of bodily injury or death, and;
3. There is a description of the child, the abductor, or vehicle, and;
4. On a request from another state for activation, there is a direct and identified nexus to the state of Tennessee and that information is conveyed to TBI at the time of the request.

Notice the "or" part. I too thought Amber Alerts required vehicle/abductor description (since, in 2005, it was displayed on TV's and freeway signs, no smartphones to speak of).

Obviously I realize most/all answers would be just speculation, but I wonder if TBI had new info that led them to issue an AMBER alert when they did.

Reports says the info. on the truck came from neighbours

This article is interesting, it mentions that Summer's mother has a sister who went missing as well. What are the chances of something like this happening in a family twice?

The 911 call from Don was at 6:30? And he was at work still? On a Tuesday night? Do drywall workers typically work past 5 or 6 at night? Wouldn't they have to be paid overtime? Sorry if these are silly questions but I'm surprised they don't clock out at 5. MOO.

It's a very precise description, I can't imagine it will take long to be sighted.

If it's even in the area.
