[@eringemini7091]

There was never anything normal in Summer's life. Her Mother was severely disappointed that Summer was a Female when she was born. She was SO upset that there's not a single photo of Summer & Candus when Summer was an infant & Toddler, thats pretty weird Apparently Candus resentment of her daughter was SO profound that her Father Don had to feed, bathe, change, and t completely take over Summer's care, because Candus had/ has ZERO interest in her own Baby! Summer had some hyperactivity/ADHD type problems which could have been treated with both a Mother's love and possibly some type of treatments/sessions, or medications from a Physician. She got no love from her Mother, and the way her Father described his love for Summer was very "creepy." He didn't sound like he was describing his little Daughter, it sounded more like he's talking about a Girlfriend when he creepily reminisced about her. Its not normal that Don said that Summer slept every night of her 5 yr long life she slept in the same bed with her parents. Don admitted to sleeping in the nude. He does not know whats appropriate behavior to have with his kids. More than (5)? women have come forward to accuse Don Wells of inappropriate deviant behavior towards them when they were little girls, (and Don was a Teenager); one of those little girls was his Stepsister. So, if Don has a "Penchant" for little Girls, whats to say that he was NOT doing that SAME thing to both Summer and her Brothers at different times( ONCE a Pedophile, ALWAYS a Pedophile)!! Poor Summer did not stand a chance, as CPS required the Children to see get check ups before School started. Don & Candus could NOT have Summer see a Doctor, because their inappropriate secret would be revealed. It was the 15th of June 2021 that I believe was their deadline to get Summer to a Physician (if I recall correctly). To avoid Don's 3rd strike at breaking the law;(which would put him in Prison for life), they caused Summer to "get gone instead. Sadly, they should have studied the emotions & actions of Parents whose Children REALLY disappeared. They did & said the opposite; ( deeply incriminating themselves). Luckily for them,( imo) they are in the jurisdiction of one of the MOST inept criminal investigations in Tennessee history!😡

[@mymonkey10]

In the State of Tennessee, 911 calls are generally confidential... there are circumstances when they can be released... one being the caller needs to give consent... Gotta love Tennessee laws... NOT...

[@margaret4196]

I find it extremely odd that the 911 calls haven’t been released after three years. I don’t remember a case that has taken this long. I’m wondering if something can be heard in the background? I’m also wondering what the boys have said when authorities interviewed them? They haven’t cleared Don, Candus or even the grandmother. They also said from the beginning that there was no way she was kidnapped and they suspect foul play. The authorities are holding a lot close to the vest. Don also said recently that the boys are happy where they are and don’t want to go back to their parents. I also think if there had been an accident, for instance Summer fell down the stairs, wouldn’t the police or the K9’s pick up on that? I’m so glad these boys are safe. I wish Summer was with them. This is truly heartbreaking. I hope they find this sweet little girl soon.

I’ve often wondered why the public can’t hear the 911 call.

[@dorothyshrewsberry7615]

I would be interested in the where did the break down begin in the family. It was originally said that the house on Ben Hill was Don's Mother's property. They cared for her. Did she live in the house with them and the children? Was the house in the state it was when she was alive? I've seen pictures of The Wells (children as well) on trips all smiles, looking clean and cared for. All looked like they were normal to a bit on the thick side. When did the break down begin and why? I think if we follow the very beginning, who was involved then we would gain more insight. As for LE in TN have they released any actual updates on any of the missing children there? Sounds like a history of children going MIA there with no response other than , Yep, Mmhmm not a cold case. The aftermath of everything just seems like a smoke screen for crime pimps and cover up.

I believe they're maybe a few reasons the 911 call has not been made public! (I maybe wrong) But it could be due to the case has not been resolved/ ungoing or has not had to progress. And another is, IF its not the parents fault, they don't want they actual perpetrator/sus having any information. If there is info that could help or hurt the case in the calls if Suspect/perpetrator got it! IDK how to say it, If there is something or whatever they could use it to help themselves....with time, alibi purpose, etc! I'm just saying if there is any kind of info in the calls have evidentiary value, they want to keep that close to vest....so to speak. I'd give anything if there was away or I knew how to make a video, I want to break down or put out my time & thoughts of what I've gathered. Just to share it and get back honest feed back, thoughts, & opinions. And if I'm on wrong path or lost my mind!! Lol! I don't get offended if someone thinks I'm wrong, or whatever.

I’m honestly shocked all 4 kids survived in that house for as long as they did. There were many dangers on that property for years that could have badly harmed all of them every day they were on that property. IMO don called lawsons personal cellphone June 15th. It’s assuming that the 911 calls were recorded. That organization got in trouble the next year for issues at the call center- untrained staff answering calls, maybe they weren’t recording some calls too.

1) They are not going to clear anyone yet.this will keep Don and Candace believing they are still in the clear. 2)I still think if they tracked Don's phone, we could see everywhere Don was and where he went the day summer went missing, and the days after, we would have more answers 3) something tells me Don came and took Summer disposed of her before he called 911

I forgot about this for the longest time but I remembered just recently.... Back in May of 2021 me and my family went to Pigeon Forge TN as a closure trip because my grandmother passed away and Gatlinburg was her favorite place. We were at The Island, its a place with a bunch of shops, restaurants, huge ferris wheel, etc. Saying this because while I was sitting and people watching as my grandmother called it...I saw what I thought was 4 boys, parents and a grandmother in a wheelchair. It was Don, Candus & Grandus with the boys and Summer. The kids were excited to be there, taking it all in you know and they were berating them. Telling them to settle down and chasing after them. They were fine. They were being kids. I remember locking eyes with all the kids and they all smiled as did I but I remember thinking why were they talking to them like that. They were excited to be there. This may not seem like much to whoever is reading this but when I remembered this my jaw dropped. I cant even begin to imagine the horrors each child went through but more importantly Summer. She seemed like such a happy child the few seconds I saw her. I pray daily for this precious angel to be found whether shes on this side of earth or not and for justice to be served!!!!!!!

Don, I still remember that filthy mattress on the floor. My word, no wonder those babies had lice. The idea of no door on the bathroom would be a little fix, but no, no one saw it as a problem. I think they were a victim of their environment. They thought the kids were fine and what they did was not too bad. Those boys are so much better off where they are. Those kids finally had a clean bed of their own, a hot meal in their bellies, and the stability of people who care for and love them. They had stability. Before the never knew that kind of life. Sure they saw it on tv, but never in a million years thought they could live like that. Thanks for reminding us Don. Your respect of remembering these crimes keeps a case from going cold!
