Parents of Missing Summer Wells Sit Down With Body Language Experts

She has drastic PTSD and I think it is because she knows what happened and is terrified of others finding out. She wants to stay on her property secluded from the world where she does not have to face the reality of their situation.

Is that why she is creating prank calls with Don, pretending to be heartbroken because LE or the Mafia have taken him? She dies a very convincing job of wailing and sobbing . No one with drastic ptsd is going to do something like that then laugh and joke about it afterwards, how you had everyone fooled . I do agree with you that isn’t sharing what she knows , she’s scared- and imo a guilty conscience is getting to her.

The conditions Summer and the boys lived in was borderline squaller. Being poor isn’t a crime, but having children in a home that dangerous already makes me question their parenting skills.

[@oliviabledsoe4479]

Yeah. It’s much more about the condition to me. There’s stuff everywhere. It’s dark in there, the exterior is in enough disrepair to be dangerous. There’s only so much one can do when poor but… when you have kids you have to do what you can, you know?

[@dalejerden1878]

Exactly! Just as we've witnessed all too many times on the news. All that woman cares about is herself and it's always been about herself, anyone can see that by how unkept Summer always looked in the photos eg., short hair so her "mother" wouldn't be bothered fixing her hair or when Summer did have hair it was messy or the other photo I saw with milk jugs leaning on Summer as she slept. I think the maltreatment by Summer's"mother" in these photos is ignored because of Summer's beautiful smile that she had despite the lack of care in her life.

[@dreadfulwater]

This case is eerily reminiscent of the Aleah Beckerle case which was an abduction & missings persons case of a teenaged disabled girl in my hometown area. Unfortunately it eventually evolved into a murder case. Aleah’s mother was also very rough around the edges (poverty, substance abuse, etc.) and maybe didn’t react in the way we deemed “right” during the months her daughter was missing by the public. But in the end they ended up finding Aleah’s body in an abandoned home and the mom wasn’t involved- a dude in his 20’s admitted to it and was charged. I am so hesitant to place blame on this woman because she just reminds me so much of how Aleah’s mom dealt with things. It is possible she is actually innocent of wrong doing but isn’t the shining example of a distraught maternal figure that we’re expecting.

[@haleyjade6853]

Exactly this!!! They say it ALL the time, that grief looks so different on everybody, but when it actually happens and it does look so different, ppl sure are quick to judge. She may be guilty, I don’t know, but what I do know is that WE don’t know what happened yet. So I have to reserve blame here.

[@karengeorge8067]

IMHO, Dr Phil & his body language experts seemed overly discriminatory. What I saw was a backwoods type woman with minimal social skills & most likely poor choices for coping skills. I believe this woman is full of shame bc of her social-standing in our often harshly judgmental world. I think the mention of “cornbread mafia” turned into a meltdown because she felt that she was being ridiculed & judged as less than. I suspect it’s something that she’s contended with her entire life. I hope & pray that beautiful little girl is found & that it’s proven that her mother is ONLY guilty of her undesirable social & economic standing. 🙏🏼

This is the truth and thank you for actually posting some logic just some careless remarks to make the case seem more spicy. Hypothetically, if i was in the same situation with my daughter missing, id hesitate to do any interviews especially ones that would be posted on tv and by famous people considering what ive lived to see from the public and how judgemental and out for blood people are these days. this woman falls short on many things regarding parenthood, but i dont think she is guilty of murder or anything related to this case. I mean, this woman had her baby stolen and is most likely dead, then had her boys taken away to live with strangers, has all of her mistakes as a parent and a person broadcasted 24/7 for strangers to scrutinize and accuse her of the most horrendous things while having her private life and past secrets out in the open now, and shes dealing with the fact she may never her kids back and wondering how she will heal from this. I mean good lord, how would the average person act. I think it could be possible looking at the terrain they lived in, an animal could have snatched her away. if they grabbed onto her throat and ran away she would not have been able to scream and she was tiny. regardless, I feel this woman is being persecuted.

Imagine your daughter is missing and your boys have been taken away. You tell the truth over and over, yet people call you a liar and attack your looks/home/family/lifestyle. On top of that they invite you to an interview, then when you arrive they want to interrogate you. I can see why she is upset, all that stress of no one believing you no matter how much you tell the truth.

[@mistyize]

That's where I'm at with it. I mean, I don't put a lot of stock into what her body language says now, because if I were in her position, and I were innocent, I'd react much the same way she did. I'd ABSOLUTELY want to hide from the world, I'd lose it, storm off, want to appear small, etc. because of all the backlash they've gotten. They're effectively being mentally abused by THE WORLD right now, and at the end of the day, they're still missing their daughter, and lost custody of their boys. They don't have to be perfect people to be innocent of this bit, and in their first interview, before all this backlash started, their body language seemed a lot different. I dunno... it just seems like if they were actually lying about everything the way people say, they'd have been caught by now, and people DO just up and disappear in those parts from time to time. It's a lot of rugged country out there, and ANYTHING can happen. 🤷‍♀️

Seems like alot of selfishness. This should be about finding answers to help summer. Not tip toeing around Candice's feelings. To many I's and ME's!! Her saying "this isnt helping ME and I'm not going into that, I cant do this.", is so troubling. She couldn't do that for her child but she could go around site seeing and post pictures and video on their youtube channel smiling and having a blast while they were there. Also I hope they ask how much research Don did on how to "beat" the guys from the behavior panel. How to not show red flags.

The oldest boy actually said on film it wasn’t his fault. I think that was a reaction to Candus saying she left summer in the boys care (bull💩) and to Don saying repeatedly he kept telling the boys to look out for summer. It makes me MAD- summer was her parents’ responsibility, not her siblings! As for Candus trying to pretend to being a careful parent- walking her over to the house, telling the boys to look after her, immediately calling for summer when she re-entered the house ( probably at least half an hr later) - not buying it . The children’s teeth are rotting in their heads, the place is littered with broken down cars, she put a film of summer on tik Tok dancing in the rain barefoot next to a barrel stating ‘for sale’ and didn’t feed her any food on the day summer went missing . Over protective parent? No!!!
