So grandma was allegedly there too. Summer was planting flowers with her mother and grandmother and wanted to go into the house. Mom watched her go into the door. Boys were on the internet, she wanted to go downstairs and play with her toys so when her mother went in, she says where is Summer, Summer didn't answer so mom went down in the basement and she was gone. He says so she went out the basement door, it was unlocked and they have not seen her since.
No mention of where he was or where door was in relation to grandma and mom planting flowers. Asked what time she went in house he said 5:30, 6 but not sure. Asked about his gut instinct he said not sure unless some bad person grabbed her but they have no idea, FBI, etc. has covered everything, etc.
He says his wife was on one side of the property when she disappeared, not even 50, 60 feet away (he did not mention grandma here for some reason, just his wife). He said there is no way she would leave the property, they know she wouldn't do that. Asked if ever seen anyone in the area he said well people sometimes come through the area looking for drugs but says LE checked everyone, checked everything out, everywhere they possibly can. LE covered all bases.
He is originally from Utah but he came out there to help his mother and has been there "on and off" for the past 25, 30, 40 years, not sure. No mention of where mom is originally from.
I wonder what he thinks happened if he is so sure she would not leave their property. Was there anyone else in the home or basement? No mention of it so I doubt it. If someone drove in, etc., wouldn't the mom, grandma, the boys in the house see someone come in or drive in or quite possibly?
He mentions God, Christians and thanked people more than once for the concern and outpouring, was appreciative it seemed of law enforcement, TBI, etc.
I will say he avoided no question and he did no hesitate, etc. He made it sound as if he was at work, not really said outright but seemed to mean that, said he works long hours. I don't see much in his demeanor or answers to really raise concern, I felt sorry for the boy, he kept his head down mostly the entire time.
What is notable to me is grandma was only put in at the very beginning of the story. There is never another mention of her, it is just his wife 50 to 60 feet away and then his wife going into the home, etc., then Summer missing and still no mention of grandma ever again.
I thought there was allegedly a couple of hour window here like from 4:30 to 6:30 or some such but he puts it right at 5:30 or 6 when she went into the home and was still there.
Disappearing from the basement and while so many were home and around sure is not something one hears of often. Not saying she didn't but his second time now of saying she would not leave their property makes it seem odd she would wander into the woods, down the road or anything else. He did not point to abduction this time like the last time but it leaves really no other thought with what he excludes. It sounds as if LE has come up with no people, cars, etc...
He was not in tears or trembling, but I can't say his manner was bad either. I am sure people out there in the SM and otherwise world will likely pick it apart.
I am just not sure I buy the story though. He also never appealed to anyone who may have her but that can mean nothing--he did say to her we just want you home or I think to come home is what he said.
I wish the reporters would have asked what time he got home, who called 911 and when, and if anyone was at the property visiting except grandma, like friends of his boys, any relatives staying with them, etc. And when did grandma leave and so forth.
