Search For Summer: Arnotts Island And Looking For Washed Up Evidence

This week I tried various approaches to get across the Holston River onto Arnotts Island so I could do a deep search of the entire island. Arnotts Island is downstream of John Sevier Combined Power Plant/Dam and Beech Creek. It includes a train trestle bridge and a road bridge. I've been wanting to search this location for quite some time! We also took our first (short) hike with Moon!

Hit thumbs up for the puppy

[@lindasheldon6940]

About a yr and a half ago, I got that a man walking a dog off the beaten trail in the woods would come across Summer's remains that was not w any organized search party and here now you and Jen got a puppy!!! I got goose bumps / chills down both legs below the knees when I saw your vid of you getting a puppy.! I have high hopes that someday you will find her so pls don't give up. Love your energies and Moon! Keep the videos coming, I think you were meant to do this! God bless you both!

[@Princess0107]

Claiming this.. Amen 🙏🏼

[@Robindigsit]

Your tenacity is commendable, Ryan! Crossing any waterway is tricky. One high water event and the bottom will change. You and Jen are angels on earth!

[@carolwalker6965]

You always go above and beyond, thank you for caring so much about Summer. 👍

[@ryanfindstruth]

Thank you so much for your support and positive encouragement - we really need it!

[@BUTTERFLY31214]

🦋🙏🙏🙏🙏Summer we still have hope in finding you. Thanks Ryan and Jen 🙏🙏🙏❤️

[@beautyforashes5739]

Ty Ryan for your compassion and tenacity searching for our beautiful Summer...we love ya! Stay safe out there and God Bless!! ✨👱✨ .

[@junecoulthard8942]

💟🐾🐕 Look at Moon go and grow, lol she is adorable! Love her so much 🐕🐾💟 That was brilliant how you crossed over to the Island 🏝 Love the Bloopers lol 👍🏼💟

[@lovelylady5_6_8]

God Bless you both for what you do for Summer and your little puppy i rosk your selves everyday God is watching i will be Blessed je will.keep.you safe prayers 🙏

[@stevenhulbert7540]

Thanks for your hard work Ryan and Jen, love Moon. Glad there wasn't wind on your kayaking, the current can be bad enough, that's a workout. Your tenacity is admirable, don't stop!

[@hatteraslighthouse]

Hey Ryan, maybe get a pair of waders that come up over your shoulders - like bib overalls - they will allow you to go in much deeper water. Also, do you know anyone with a john boat, with a trolling motor? If so, that would be the way to travel the shoreline. LOVE your new "baby" Moon - look forward to seeing her grow in future videos 🙂 Again, God Bless you both for trying to #FINDSUMMERWELLS.

[@RhondaSheets-rl5dr]

Love going on these trips with you two, now 3 of you guys. Love your little moon ❤

[@77mcl]

Finding the needle came up right after you said this is like finding a needle in a haystack...its was a sign from spirit to keep looking in my opinion❣️✨️

[@ryanfindstruth]

That was kind of weird wasn't it.

[@nani.9754]

I will click the like button. Even though I love baby Moon , I'm clicking for the the humans in the video, who haven't given up on finding Summer! Love all three of you! 👍🙂 As for the Kyack forging...my father in law built a little frame out of pvc pipes and put two bicycle wheels on it. He could push or pull as needed.then he bike lovked to a tree so it wouldnt get stolen while he was on the water. My dad had waders that were just like overhalls,he was s fly fisherman. He could go waist high in them. Sorry my comments is so long. Just some thoughts that might help and be affordable

Keeping Summer Moon alive

[@susansilvey1614]

puppy pack-good job Jen

[@judygantz1005]

Im relieved you didn't get hurt on your fall. Thank you Ryan!! ❤😊

[@ryanfindstruth]

It was this crazy summersault and somehow I landed right back on my feet, it was funny. :)

[@Bellablu102]

Your dedication to finding summer and getting answers is much appreciated be safe Godspeed. 💙 From Michigan

[@misstyrhodes2138]

Thanks you time out day do this justice summer 🏝️

[@lindarandles2106]

The grandfathers beard you first looked at . On the left side tword the groud looked like a face peeeking threw. Kida freaked me out .

[@carolinedubose5136]

Thank you for your hard work and not giving up Ryan and Jen!! Moon is so stinking cute scampering around or flying high in the back pack!!

[@lysavogt8142]

Thank you from all of us having boots on the ground searching for this beautiful child. Hugs!

[@elizabethlenahan9833]

Thanks for doing this Ryan & Jen. I wish you great success. Stay safe🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@user-pp7xr8gd1n]

It's such a beautiful ride,veiw thank you all. Praying for SUMMER MOON UTAH WELLS 🙏 💜love MOON she's so cute!

[@bobbihenry913]

Thank you Ryan !! Absolutely Wonderful video.

[@shelleyhorton3338]

I love your videos.. you are truly amazing and beautiful people ..... keep up the good work you are doing

[@LauraShortlegs10]

Cute as heck little puppy. 😍 🐶

[@kimballentyne3482]

Appreciate all your efforts to help find Summer. See if somebody will lend you their surfboard/surfplank and a drysuit; then use your canoe paddle. You'll have to learn to balance on a surfboard/surfplank. If you get wet mother nature will give you a free wash! Thank you for sharing and caring about Summer.

[@ckh7719]

I admire and appreciate you so much for continuing the search for Summer Moon Utah Wells. Thank you.

[@fondatruelove2330]

Add Mario so much you're such a wonderful people summer so blessed to have you on her side

[@yorkshirerose2636]

I seriously can't understand why some people on YT are so critical of you, from what I have seen thus far you are doing your upmost to find this child.

[@ryanfindstruth]

Thanks for that. I'm glad you see the truth. I'm not sure what's wrong with them but since it takes so much time and energy to do what we do, we really don't have any left over to help those people figure out their own issues. We really appreciate the love and support we've been receiving but really the most important thing is just being persistent and never giving up until *someone* finds Summer and/or she gets the justice she deserves.

[@Hidee88]

Thank u for not giving up on Summer. ❤

[@FeistyMama73]

Thank you Ryan and jen for looking for summer, you are appreciated ❤

[@sarahlockhart4296]

I love your puppy 🐶 Thanks for taking us with you.

[@tracy7722]

I have said it before and will say it every video-thank you both for your continued dedication searching for Summer. I honestly think you two are the only ones actually searching. Thank you!!!

[@VoiCeSbeHinDtheWaLL]

Thank you Ryan & Jen. 🤜💜🤛

[@RhondaSheets-rl5dr]

You just got to do what you got to do ❤

[@janellpipkin562]

I will be praying for you to Find Summer! ❤❤ Thank You so much for all you do! Blessings❤️❤️

[@user-ll4wl7rh4j]

At about 55:49 I thought I saw an old rusty shovel. Am I imagining? Ryan, you and Jenn are God sent!

[@ryanfindstruth]

Yeah - unfortunately even in 4k people tend to still see things in the various colors/branches/scatterings that I see. I honestly spent a lot of time, about 2 hours, scanning this entire island. And if I had only walked at a normal pace scanning things I could have done that in less than an hour. There was definitely not an old rusty shovel anywhere.

[@margaretdarcy2688]

Does Rev Donna look at any of these videos? Perhaps she might get something from them? Keep up the good work

[@ryanfindstruth]

I've been emailing her and she provided feedback sometimes. I am asking for any area she'd be interested in seeing "in person" that we could stream to her live.

[@margaretdarcy2688]

That’s great Ryan it would be a fantastic idea to livestream with her, fingers crossed🤞🏻 Also glad you got back safely across the island 🏝️ you will be fit as a fiddle from all this walking🤣

[@CrazyRetiredLady]

Ryan, as always, great video. 😊

[@birdie9196]

Ryan, you should’ve seen my husband and I paddling upstream in the canoe, in a pop up pouring rain thunder storm! I was getting so tickled I could barely paddle 😂 you and Jen keep going and check that generating cycle for calmer shallows. 💜💜💜

[@lisaroth8751]

Ryan & Jen, Your pup is so dang cute! Almost as cute as Jen, lol 😊 you’ve shown deep energy and perserverence for Summer. I know you’re not looking for recognition, just results, but I believe you will be blessed. Like a needle in a huge hay stack! And btw it was wishful thinking cuz diabetic needles are pre-filled pen cartridges now (I’m diabetic) . That one was for heroin or meth. I liked that you searched under the water too! Looks like a river bottom. Where were the fish?! lol God Bless!

[@user-mj5ni7ns1x]

I pray for Summers remains to be found❤

[@spreadlove1835]

I greatly appreciate what you two do for Summer ❤

[@loriehowe2111]

Love your new pup! Thanks for doing what you’re doing ! ❤

[@lane59]

Could you make a sled type carrier for your kayak. Easier to pull than carry?

[@pugcrazy]

Love lil Moon enjoy watching your videos! Thanks for all you do for justice! ❤️

[@jryan6013]

❤❤❤ I cannot even with how cute that puppy is. I cannot even stand it

[@donnakleinhammer1336]

Adorable puppy

[@kathyjean4785]

Thank you for searching. Very interesting island.

[@pn5147]

Me and my husband used to go canoeing we actually hooked a trolling motor to our canoe you might want to try that it's a cheaper route

[@brit94]

I appreciate the blooper lol 😆 need some laughter to keep us going.

[@ReversedImages1165]

Moon is beautiful. 😍

[@butterflylady8875]

That's called portaging when you have to carry your kayak/canoe🤍🤍🦋🦋🦋

[@SimplyReba17]

Also just a suggestion.. always have a long rope tied to your kayak. So you can pull it or tied off.. for future adventures..

[@Godsloveamen]

Ty to you and your wife for loving and caring so much ❤️❤️❤️God bless and keep you both safe and help you to find this beautiful baby girl in Jesus name amen 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@luanesly2876]

Stay safe Ryan and Jen let God show you the way ❤

Awsome Job Ryan And Jen ❤ Do You Know Anyone That Has A JetSki You Can Borrow Might Be Alot Easier On You! Or Something With A Trolling motor Water Might Be To Cold You Might Need A Wet Suit Please 🙏 Stay Safe! ❤

[@annettehughes8782]

❤ your wee puppy prayers for wee summer from Ireland i love your videos u r such good people ive being following summers strange disappearance from day 1 ive being checking in EVERYDAY its not right poor wee summer just not right were is she MAD 😢

[@susansilvey1614]

keep following the river

[@ryanfindstruth]

Plan to! And beech creek as well. Thanks for your support!

[@Velvetrose737]

I really wish we could find this beautiful little girl , it’s such a sad story, poor summer 😢

[@corikindrat4509]

Thank you so much!

[@Hidee88]

Yay!!!❤ you made it to the island!!

[@joannemarion9261]

I'm watching from Canada,I would be looking for her also if I was in the area ❤❤❤❤❤

[@mrzswalker]

MOOOOONN might steal the show!

[@Raindancer1980]

That was fun😊

[@user-qz6xk4ro8o]

Praying 🙏

[@Anna-g3s]

Ryan I believe there are only two options in locating Summer. If Candus hid her poor little body, it will be very close to home. If it was Don however, she will be a long long way from home.

[@kaleenasandlin947]

Moon is so cute❤❤❤

[@eyesontheprize7522]

You guys rock! ❤

[@LauraShortlegs10]

I've always felt Summer Wells was kidnapped. But if gone, that area and in that water would be a good place to search.

[@lisarua255]

Your efforts are definitely appreciated, Ryan. I was thinking about cadaver dogs. Did law enforcement use cadaver dogs initially in this case? Perhaps you could contact Nashville K-9 and ask about hiring services, of which we could fund raise for? With a collaborative effort of people that care about Summer, we could make it happen.

[@ryanfindstruth]

I can check with them although it's a 4-5 hour drive from Nashville so they'll probably want some solid evidence, assuming they don't only work with families or LE.

[@traceydelehanty734]

Awe thanks all guys do puppy darling

[@susanmiller6023]

When you are searching ground you need a rod to push into the earth to release smells. If things are washed up or the water comes up on the island no shallow parts would be visible.

[@karlasbunnytrail]

Sending prayers out

[@lakesuperiorgirl17]

Ryan and Jen thank you for your hard work, you are going above and beyond. ❤❤ needless to say a haystake and you find a needle. Is that weird or is it a sign you’re going the right way? You might like to wear thick gloves when you are searching.

[@kathyjean4785]

❤puppy moon!

[@robindenman4111]

Honestly Candis and do. Are too lazy to climb and walk that far to get rid of their sweet baby girl. I’m in tenn and from day one, i said she in water. But i keep dreaming shes in a well close to home. With a rope to show where she is. Not a medium but I’ve been like this my whole life. My gut tells me that’s where she is. Appreciate you trying to bring her home to bring justice to us Tennessians

[@sonianieves2433]

Iam just thinking you needed another pair of hands to help you search thoroughly. Its a wide spread area... God bless

[@ryanfindstruth]

It wouldn't have taken quite as long, that's for sure. I also don't feel like I can film the entire search because everyone would fall asleep watching me crawling around the ground digging under logs and checking countless containers...lol.

[@michellemuscat6627]

Sadly, Summer is gone, the only chance is the hope that someone comes forward with accurate information.

[@trish-d4y]

Thank you 🙏🙏

[@lakesuperiorgirl17]

This can’t believe the shells

[@chrismatheson4376]

Moon is sooooo quoooooot!!

[@LoriESCOTT]

Hey thank you for doing this. I am a medium and im not great but ive found im pretty good! So i kept hearing beech creek and pond. So i did a little research and there is a place about an hour and a half away. Its where Beech Creek, the actual creek crosses with pond creek. Just a thought and im not sure how far you guys go and my car sucks and i dont really have anyone to go with me to check it out.

[@ryanfindstruth]

Upriver from where I did this video is where Beech creek enters the river and that's one of our top search areas for anything washed up as well - as much of the creek as I can get up into.

[@LoriESCOTT]

@@ryanfindstruth I think this is in NC but I use a pendulum to verify and it's telling me not NC so maybe a pond in the rogersville or possibly Jonesboro. I know you have searched a bunch of areas. I have tried not to familiarize myself too much of the area so I know my own thoughts aren't taking over. Whether you find her or not the added pressure may make someone slip up. I do think she will be found but I live on a little mountain/big hill. I think the place in the woods behind my place is what the place she was put looks like. There is a steep hill with piles of wood. I wonder if they put her under a pile of wood. Have you guys ever used dowsing rods or a pendulum? Be sure you use copper rods if you do dowsing rods. They are awesome tools, I find things I lost with them all the time! I think it's great that you can go to all these places and also a good way to spend time together. It's an awful thing but nature is never bad and spending time together is always good 😊 thank you again. I'm relatively new at using my mediumship so I sometimes panic and bring myself out of the "trance" for lack of a better word but I get answers alot without going too deep...as I get use to it Im sure I will get more comfortable with it, 😜 if I get anything else I will let you know. I get that she is in Tennessee and not too far from Ben Hill Rd. But that's still pretty broad!

[@susanmiller6023]

I just don't understand why you're making life so difficult for yourself when there are KZbinrs who can help with all the equipment

[@ryanfindstruth]

On KZbin when you ask viewers for things, people think you're "grifting" in Summer's name.

[@tracy7722]

​@@ryanfindstruthsadly they do but you are both actually out there searching!!! We see your hard work and dedication.

[@user-jx7bx9ye4h]

Praying that she can be found

[@Bellablu102]

Scary finding a needle you never know if you're going to find someone overdosed

[@yogi7398]
