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

[Soulmagent]

WJHL confirmed the Police are acting on a lead.
Possibly Summer's shoe or something like that was found.
Goodness gracious please let her be found safe.

Though she didnt have shoes on? <modsnip>

Here's a map showing where the helicopter is flying in circles. Summer's home is marked in pink. Screenshot-20210620-000322-3

Oh geez. And no doubt that area has been searched previously. Tonight an intense search? <modsnip>
I don't like where this might be going.

I'm not questioning your information, but I would like to know how you know the field they were are searching. Thanks.

I don't know how the tail number became public, but you can watch flights here if you know that.

Can we find the flight pattern on this ?

Wow, they mean business! Helicopter flying low and the field is lit up with searchers lined up. Video here:

If she's out there I hope the Helicopter doesn't scare her. I pray she's out there and they can find her.

The flight number was posted earlier in the thread. When I entered the flight number into the Flight Aware app the flight path is showing with that green line, in the area described by the reporter's tweet. I took a screenshot from the app and posted it for those of you without the app to see.

If the lead were from a confession, would they arrest and announce it by now?

It is on the flight aware page in the area so it shows the flight numbers when you click on the only air craft in the area.

I just looked up birds of prey of the kind we were thinking about. I am happy to report that they are known to hunt primarily in the mornings up until 10 am.

Unless someone observed them in the morning, or daytime, and didn't call it in till tonight.

<modsnip>

Indeed. It may have taken time to register with them and then they would doubt themselves and of course, likely want to minimize it. It could happen that way in many scenarios where they saw it in the am and didn't call until later. Maybe needed the spouse or friend to urge them on.

Flight and helicopter tail number.

Yep initial report said no shoes IIRC.

I don't like where this might be going.

In a word..YES. As they have expanded the ground search outward from 11 acres to close to 1000 acres in a perimeter. If I understand it was a 2 prong effort, the search and the official LE investigation. I am no pro, for sure. But I would think the investigating team would lead with their investigations into the acreas beyond what she could have traveled in that time period and kept the ground search a bit closer in. But I guess it is very easy for me to play Monday morning quarterback. I am just a curious person

Actually, it began with "may be barefoot" and from there it snowballed into a false certainty. If more information was given, that is was know she was barefoot, we weren't given that. It took on a life of its own

I'd think with a helicopter circling around low to the ground, and a full ground crew combing that field in the middle of the night surely indicates this is a serious and solid lead of some sort.

The location that is being searched ...

At the 9 second mark of the video in this reporter's tweet you can see the steeple portion of the Mt Carmel Free Will Baptist Church come into view on the left of the video (you will also see the Church's sign - it is square):
https://twitter.com/overbay_ted/status/1406471518163513347

On Google Maps StreetView, this is the closest position to where that video was taken from (actually the reporter/videographer would be on Fields Rd right where it intersects Beech Creek RD and looking NNW.

The helicopter in the sky is further to the north of the Church above the field just past the Cemetery.

Looks like the helicopter had left. They sure spent a long time going over that one spot.

 

[whitelilac]

That field N of the church and cemetery is on the other side of the road from Summer's home.

maybe in need of fuel? or...they found something.
