Regarding Tik Tok. The shape the mother was in? What's wrong with her?
Allegedly she posted a video or pic with it obvious she was seriously under the influence of something and the consensus out there is it is not the milder things that can cause that. And that this video was right in a time frame of her filming her kids or near to the same time. Not sure if it was a year ago, recently or when. I didn't watch the show, just saw 15 or 20 minutes and heard the host and read some comments. Apparently there are a lot more pictures of Summer, the home, etc. too that were on SM/her page or some such.

I will leave it at that. It doesn't tell us where the child is or what happened. Even if the case, it could be neglect, inattentiveness or worse. It could not even apply but I guess when people take what is there, dad has a criminal history, mom was in this kind of shape with the kids around, questions of when she was last seen for sure, naturally it kind of creates a reason to have some doubt or questions I guess.
 
Just so this thread doesn't get too far off the path, lets remember to be clear when posting our personal opinions versus MSM. We all want Summer to be found safe, correct? Minimal information is being shared for a reason so lets all just keep that in mind and not let our minds take us down a rabbit hole. tia
 
I wasn't going any further but did not want to ignore a question on hearing more when I had lightly touched on something. So I kept it as basic and nonjudgmental about the case as possible, while sharing what was being said.

Not a problem but I did want to promise and make clear that I have no intent of going any farther down any rabbit hole. It is interesting some of what I heard was then in an article about the same time, like questions of when she actually went missing. Dad's criminal history also, although that was touched on in the PC as well. so most of it is verified by LE or if not, by other news outlets. Other than that it is mostly just pictures and videos actually posted. So not much of a deep rabbit hole thus far and will stay clear of deepening it lol :)

Let's keep hoping and asking God and praying that she be located alive and well, we all want that. :praying:
 
By 8 p.m. Thursday, they were expected to have covered a two-mile radius on ground and another four-mile radius by air.


AT&T and Verizon have brought cell signal boosters to help increase reception, but Incident Commander of Ground Search Captain Tim Coup said service was “still spotty.”

Hawkins County Mayor Jim Lee said some of the radios used by county law enforcement are between 15 and 20 years old.

A new radio system was purchased last week. Lee expects that system’s repeater to be installed on top of a Hawkins County mountain in the next few weeks.

I could only imagine what that would be like out there. The terrain is very much like my little patch of woods and it would be hard enough to trudge through this time of year and it is no comparison in size.

That terrain wears you out quickly! What could show up as a few yards on a map, could be many, many yards when actually walking it with the up and down of the terrain, and that is not including the sheer energy that going up and down that steepness creates.
 

Came across this statement from the father don't know if anyone else has seen it or not but thought I would share it here. I also took a look on google maps and it looks to me like there are a few creeks or streams around the area wonder if she could have wandered off and fell into one of them? I know that the father feels confident that she wouldn't have just walked off but I also know how small children are really unpredictable especially when they are left unsupervised. All that said I truly hope that she is found safe.
 

Knox County Rescue team headed to Hawkins Co. to help search for missing 5-year-old girl​

Officials with Knox County Rescue announced that a team will travel to Hawkins County Friday morning to help search for her.

They will spend 36 hours searching for Wells in hopes of finding her alive and well, according to a post on social media from officials.
 
I know it’s likely that if she got lost in the woods or somewhere else, that she’s close by, but I really hope they get the area as wide as possible. Yes the terrain is tough and the leaves are super dense. From the photos, it’s conceivable that someone could have walked right by her already. BUT we can’t overlook the fact that little kids can go father, and faster, than we think. IMO her father is underestimating this possibility as well.
I’m still hoping she’s hanging on somewhere.
 
Just an observation and I am no techy expert, in fact, much the opposite, but the new radios are great and apparently service in general probably even with cells is poor in the woods/terrain.

So does this play into wifi and such? I have no idea but having numerous FB accounts and other SM accounts would take having decent reception right? I know sometimes though in rural areas reception can be hit and miss. Maybe fine at the home but not in the woods? Or one area is fine, get a signal for a moment and then gone again if move a few feet. I saw this question posed a few times earlier today and it got me wondering as well.

Still hoping and praying. I cannot honestly say though that I have a very good feeling about this one.

When I went on that search for Kyron, they gave us a small grid and the side of the hill was slanted so badly that it didn’t take long at all before my ankles were hurting badly. And I think we only searched along that hill for two or three hours. That’s when I realized how futile it is to try to find him anymore and that whoever finds him is going to find him while doing something else.
 
He says the dog goes down to the road and that's the end of the trail but then also says he does not know that for a fact. Not sure what to even make of that. It's a fact or it isn't? He also says she would not leave their hill and he thinks someone snuck up behind her and snatched her. In this rural area. Who else lives on the hill? Family? Friends? Strangers? No one? Does he have reason to think someone in the area would have done that or was after her? Maybe the parents should go on and plead for her safe return if someone snatched her. Perhaps it would help.

It is also odd. A child is not going to walk to the road, and someone just happens to snatch her I wouldn't think. Now if, on the other hand, it was a family member or close friend and they called to her, let's go, I'm running to the store, want to ride with me, perhaps...? One would think if she actually wandered further, the trail would not have stopped but then again he is unsure if it is fact. So though it would mean someone snatched her right at the road/end of the driveway in his thoughts?

Does it fit with where the boys say they were last with her/saw her? It is fully possible the boys just think they were the last to see her. If they did not actually see her disappear or take off, she could have went back in the house to use the bathroom or get a drink, or went to talk to get the mail or anything and encountered someone in the home or on the road. As with all cases, I would like to know the last time she was seen and the last time she was seen by anyone outside of family.

Why does the mother have a post on May 23rd that she misses her girl with music saying I hate you, I love you, I hate that I love you, don't want to, but I can't put nobody else above you, etc. and across the video she has "I miss you my girl"? I won't go further but the things on SM are public and I would suggest going and looking at the pics, videos, etc. or finding a video in which these public posts are shared. Just wondering why she was missing her girl back in May, where was she? The missing her part is one thing but the lyrics send me to one thought and one place and one place only and it is a pretty specific thought. I sure hope I am wrong. I am sharing nothing that is not public nor that I have not now seen.

How old are the brothers? Were the parents home or was an older sibling in charge?

We know dad has a record with DV with a handgun as recently as last fall it appears and more and let's be honest, it is not exactly an indicator of a good or pleasant home environment. Not saying it relates but it is a fact. Second search result down on this page is the one that is being referred to:

.
None of this helps find her but it is all info I don't think has been provided but that I am sure LE has asked. This case is as questionable as any other and as well as searching I am sure LE is looking at the people close to her, close to the family and around them and trying to eliminate each.

At least the third day in. Much longer and it will be hard to maintain much hope. Praying hard.
