He uses too many words to make his point IMO.

I can see that. His programs are probably longer than needed.

I can see that. His programs are probably longer than needed.

That’s exactly why I don’t watch them anymore.

I listened to the phone call between him and Don Wells. It was 1:41. He was very professional confronted Don on facts. Don Wells has a very disturbing past. And things came to light about the family dynamic I didn't know.

That’s exactly why I don’t watch them anymore.

i didn't make it through any of them all the way and only even looked at a couple of them.

my question would be that if the dogs really did lose her scent at the road, did they mean at the end of their driveway?

See this short video.

Video by Summer's dad of where he says the search dogs tracked Summer's scent.

Thank you!

That was a well traveled path by somebody/something. Most of the vegetation was clear up quite high in most places which leads me to believe it was traveled a lot by people.

Phone interview with Don Wells.

 

[Mel70]

On YouTube the theories from people are just crazy. One person thinks Don is hiding her so CPS wouldn't get her. Yeah. O.K.

I'm starting to wonder if Don has some cognitive issues.

I'm starting to wonder if Don has some cognitive issues.

He could be exhausted. After all, his daughter is missing & his sons have been removed from his home. That's my thoughts though. He sounds just like my family from that area so I could be used to the dialect. I hope someone gently pursuades him to not give any more interviews because every time his words get picked apart. He is unknowingly inviting public opinion into his life & family who are victims too.

 

[Whatsnext]

Especially with their criminal history they maybe should keep a low profile.

 

[RoundPeg]

Yeah, someone needs to convince him to be quiet. It's really impossible to focus on Summer because it's the "roast Don Wells show".

 

[RoundPeg]

OMG. This is so frustrating. These talking heads on YT have decided Don is the culprit obviously. Can they not all just shut up for 2 days?

 

[Guess Who]

well, this area will now be busy with this issue

I don't get it either. I mean the parents have their issues, but I don't necessarily think they had anything to do with her being gone unles.s there is a big part of the puzzle locals know that we don't

Ask The Interview Room that. I truly pray Don had nothing to do with Summer's disappearance. And when this is over, Chris McD gets arrested for defamation and Don sues his butt off. # rant over

People jumping all over the families has bothered me more than normal recently. (Not here really, just online in general.) Especially in Summer's case and now in Michael's case in Idaho too.

I think it's a combination of several things. LE having given absolutely no indication that they suspect the families. Details, and intricate and lengthy searching of the immediate area, seeming to indicate otherwise. YouTube people latching onto rumors and speculation and people following en masse. People on social media seemingly LOOKING for the families to be guilty.

It's no longer, "what happened to Summer", it's "Don what did you do to Summer". And now it's going from "what happened to Michael" to "the dad and babysitter are very suspicious".

When LE gives no details, speculation and rumors run rampant. In both of these cases, 10% of the information has come from LE and the other 90% has come from social media. LE neglecting to confirm or deny anything at all leaves a lot of room for people to get their panties in a bunch. Sometimes over a 30-second change in the timeline or a misspoken statement.

In these cases, LE has given absolutely no indication that they suspect the parents. Might they? Absolutely. But it makes me sad to think that nothing more than YouTube rumors and Facebook speculation led to THREE people turning up to a prayer vigil for a missing 5-year-old girl. Summer deserves better than that.

I'm not saying anyone is innocent. Because I don't know. But that's the point, isn't it? These people crucifying the family don't know either. Is it okay to ask questions and wonder about things and discuss? Yes, for sure. But people are losing sight of the big picture here. Again, might they be guilty? YES. But I'm not jumping on the crucifixion bandwagon without a bit more evidence. And I do thank everyone else (almost everyone?) here for doing the same.
