Summer Wells’ mother refutes police scanner details; denies going for a walk the day 5-year-old Summer disappeared
The parents of a missing Tennessee girl address some questions and apparent inconsistencies surrounding their daughter’s disappearance in an interview with a local news station.
As the report notes, the transcription of the emergency dispatch call, provided by Broadcastify, states that Summer’s mother discovered that her daughter was missing after returning home from a walk:
Summer’s mother denied going on a walk the day Summer disappeared.
“I don’t go on walks around here or runs, because I’m scared of the bears and snakes, and even the coyotes that are around here,” Bly said.
She also said in an earlier interview clip that she was away outside of her home for just two minutes before she found that Summer was not in the house.
It is unclear why authorities apparently believed that Summer vanished while her mother was on a walk. The dispatcher also believed that Summer was 4 years old.
But parents spoke of Summer in the past tense throughout the interview, with Summer’s mother saying at different points that “She loved ‘Frozen,'” “she loved to play in the mud,” and “Summer was the boss of the family.”
Bly also addressed the social media critics who have said they are suspicious of Summer’s parents.
“I’m sorry that you feel this way about us, but we love our children with everything we have. We’ve never went without thanks to Summer’s daddy and my husband,” Bly said. “He’s always provided for us and worked as much as he could and can, and still is, and I’m sorry that you guys feel that way. But that’s my baby, and nobody would ever treat her like that as long as I was around, ever.”
