Some of the interview clips were recorded in mono, which means it only comes out of one speaker/headphone. I still felt like it was important to include those clips!

[@victoriaalexis9070]

thx

[@noodles5004]

Please do another one of this Kendall there is so much more info on Don and Candice!! The "joke" phone call they made sends chills down my spine.

[@karladavenport8817]

Kendall, so many of us are hopeful for you to cover the disappearance of Oakley Carlson from Oakville, WA. You have a strong following and you may be able to help this beautiful girl. Just like Summer

[@Tay_Wanders]

You can just duplicate the audio file to another track, which you can set to the other channel. (Or you can use audio effects to make it stereo).

[@KendallRae]

Thank you guys for letting me know you can fix mono! This is so good to know!

[@ltotheinzi7904]

I have a friend who lives about a mile from Don & Candus, and this is what she is saying. 1. Candus is a known drug addict and her drugs of choice are heroin and meth, but crack will suffice if meth isn't available. 2. The 'true' reason that Candus, Summer, and all 3 boys had their heads shaved is because they had lice so badly, but were so uncared for, that they chose to shave their heads. Apparently Summer was devastated to have her head shaved, worried that she couldn't wear bows and clips in her hair if it was shaved, but Don kept shaving it to prevent a reoccurrence. 3. Don was accused of rape (incest) by his sister who alleges that it happened her entire childhood. He denies this. However, Summer would do certain things when she was around other men that was wildly inappropriate for a 5 year old girl to do. These actions are typical of small children that are being sexually assaulted by a man, and he fits the profile. 4. Don is a very aggressive, violent man. He would beat his children when they did anything he didn't like, and it was known by everyone who knew this family. That is part of the reason the boys were taken by Child Protective Services. Another reason was... 5. Their house was filthy. You see how nasty it was during an interview? Apparently that is immaculate compared to how filthy it was prior to this happening. The police department is the one who reported the state of the house to CPS and they acted immediately. This is just some of what I've been told, and it really paints a picture. I feel confident that they are 100% responsible for what happened to Summer. They are pathetic and disgusting.

[@danielaanaya4908]

this changes my whole perspective on them!

[@Mila-Nova]

I believe you. It makes sense. They don't exactly look like decent parents and that house? A whole mess.

[@bunnyellabell]

[@brianna1517]

This really helps to paint the picture. Most people with these lifestyles have this type of background attached to them.

[@cherry9669]

How does she know all this? I also live in a small southern town, and anytime something crazy happens, ridiculous rumors spread around to often demonize the people involved. Gotta be careful with accusations

[@jnoelleart]

one of the issues i have is that…what does a grown woman have in common with a 15 year old boy? why do they call and text each other and hang out regularly like that? she’s like twice his age and she hangs out with him like they’re besties. then i was like oh maybe he wanted to hang out with Summer but she’s five years old. a 15 year old and a 5 year old wouldn’t have anything in common either. the relationships don’t add up at all.

[@chyrellemorris6924]

I thought maybe mom and Hunter had an inappropriate relationship

[@sidniemcgraw5136]

I thought the opposite if inappropriate, if she used to be his moms best friend he probably thought of her as his auntie. He called candy grandma In his first interview clip

[@cassandra2685]

I agree Sounds like a reason why she had a fight with his mother Something fishy going on there She was probably romantically involved with him and used him and he snapped

[@RyanStorey1231]

Ehhh, I sort of got the vibe that Candice and Hunter had more of an "aunt and nephew" type of relationship. They are close family friends, and she still wanted to keep that relationship even though she had fallen out with his mother because she considered Hunter as a son. This is honestly pretty normal, at least in small town country settings.

[@victoriahouston3210]

I was really close to my friends mum when I was younger like we would hang out and do stuff without my friend so might not be that unusual

[@cherylsabol387]

I can’t believe that this case just disappeared off of the radar. It would have been so easy for the police to check video from the stores to see if the mom was telling the truth! I live in a rural area and my little dogs bark at everything there is no way their dogs wouldn’t have barked!!!

[@gracebabcock62]

We have tiny dogs and we live in the city they bark at anything that moves there is no way if you have 8-13 dogs that they are all friendly and don’t ever bark

[@elephantsawesome7568]

As someone who grew up with an alcoholic father and an physically impaired mother, I can say this with absolute certainty. Even if they truly *tried* to be the best parents possible to their four kids while being addicts (which I seriously doubt), those children would end up being neglected in one way or another, if not abused. These parents are 100% being dishonest about what life was like before Summer’s disappearance, which makes it all the more likely they’re lying about what happened *during* her disappearance. I feel awful for those poor kids, and I really don’t trust either of them. It’s all just pretty damn shady.

[@jchow5966]

I agree. And I am a disabled person who chose not to have kids because I do not think it would be fair to a kid. My heart gors out to you brcause of what you had to go through & i hope you are ok now. Sadly we are going to see more and more of this situations Makes me mad.

[@christianmama24]

As someone who struggled with addiction I agree with you. My children did suffer from me and I will never forgive myself

[@jedimindtrick-pi8xe]

I respect you for admitting that and taking responsibility for the damage caused.

[@jedimindtrick-pi8xe]

Their house was a filthy cluttered mess. My heart breaks for those kids but I'm not 100% convinced they're involved. IMO someone else probably grabbed Summer.

[@leximcvay9]

I'm 6 minutes in and wondering why Candace is speaking the way she is. Slurring her words and slowly blinking. Definitely sus.

[@andreasofia6142]

I find it extremely odd how the mother swears her daughter was abducted but she thought it was a good idea to send her three sons (WHO ARE MINORS) to the woods alone when, according to her, there’s a person abducting children nearby. Like what kind of mother feels comfortable leaving her other children alone immediately after one of them gets abducted? A mother wouldn’t let them out of her sight.

[@michellemcgowan5657]

Or leave them on their own while she and grandma are gone from 7.30 am till 3 pm

[@majicchoneyy]

@@michellemcgowan5657 it sounds like they were literally at school😂& she gave them a knife which I’m not saying is the smartest idea or anything but she was probably in a panic/denial that someone would even do that like who would anybody wanna accept that as a possibility rather than she just miraculously wandered off?

I'm an orthopedic nurse and I'll tell you right now, no one struggling with their prosthetic knee, (who just went to the hospital for an appointment over it), comes home and decides to go plant flowers for 30-40 min. This seems like a major red flag in their story.

Pain killers....you can do anything. My question is how would someone know the exact layout and opportunity to commit such an act.

[@RaineBowieArcade]

That is the part that sticks out most to me!!! Like what!? You just go to the Dr because your in pain .. and go plant flowers? I don't buy that. Almost wonder if maybe it was a reason to go get a prescription for pain... And mom and daughter indulged in some pills when they got home... And that's when she went missing ..

@@siarrallyles8541 I used to think all dogs barked at strangers but when one of the dogs died the other 2 just stopped barking. I think the old dog barked and the other 2 just joined in and when she wasn't there any more they just stopped. We now have another dog who also does not bark. One is a GSD, one is mini schnauzer and the newest is a bully.

[@maddibraps7908]

Depends if the dog knows that person or if the dog is adjusted to people coming over all the time. My current dog barks every time anyone comes in the house but my last dog was so used to people coming in and out whenever because we had a lot of neighbors and friends that would stop by to say hi. In the 14 years my last dog lived i can’t remember him ever barking.

[@TiIogy]

Summer's mother Candace said she had called her husband Don as soon as Summer went missing (on her own phone) then after Don told her to hang up and call 911, she threw her own phone and went to get her mother "Candy's" phone to call 911 because AT&T is the only company that gets service at their house? She was just on the phone with Don, how on earth was she on her own phone if it doesn't get service there? This story just doesn't add up at all. The fact that a grown woman is hanging out with a 15 year old boy, giving him alcohol and vapes. The planting of "flowers" directly "before" the disappearance of Summer. How has the flowers not been dug up during investigations?

[@heathergent7196]

Candice could’ve called Don on whatsapp messenger or a messenger call, which you use through wifi. Just an idea though

[@spitfirestake54]

It’s not that uncommon depending on how the 15 yo is growing up. You think Candace is the first to pass a vape and some weak arse booze to Hunter??? Nothing about Hunter’s presentation seems normal for a 15 yo anyway. He probably smokes weed, has sex and everything already. Not a typical 15 yo for sure.

[@simonerea6681]

Probably when she called Don it was shitty service so rather than calling the police with bad reception she used a phone that would get the message across clear. Also, I'd say the police investigators would obviously have checked the flower bed.

[@rhiannonwalker3047]

Yeah, even if she didn't have service, its my understanding you can make an emergency call even if you don't have service, so that part doesn't make sense to me. This whole case boggles my mind. Something is so fishy.

[@FLESHFUCKER]

@@spitfirestake54 Hey, just wanna throw my take in on this comment specifically. I live in a town similar to this, it's horrid, and let me say, 15 year olds doing drugs and having sex is NOT at all uncommon here. I have overheard several freshman talking about how they got someone to do sexual acts on them that I'm not comfortable describing, and it wasn't just one person, it was several. In towns where it's not so nice, kids get into drugs and sex a lot earlier. It's scary. In some places, it *is* the norm

[@kendallc3239]

i think it’s very odd that the parents say things like “she was” and “she wanted” referring to her as if she’s not alive. just a very odd thing for parents to say after their daughter goes missing

[@kelseygonzalez6816]

I thought the same thing. They speak like they know she isn't coming back.

[@lauracoleman8114]

[@misatchi]

[@lexis.2097]

I was about to comment this same thing- it seems very odd to me that they're using past tense when Summer is still considering missing. Super weird imo

[@amandacg5100]

“Our dogs just aren’t barkers.” They had me until I heard that. You don’t live in rural Tennessee on a property THAT big without “guard” dogs. Since they had somewhere close to a dozen dogs, I call complete BS. If those dogs (not ONE, allegedly) would not even bark, one of those family members is involved. I usually don’t comment on your vids, KR, but that hit me in the gut!

[@user-xs3lc4ky4h]

[@lifesajoke6965]

If you have 13 dogs running around you would be so used to the sound of them that even if a few of them did bark at someone they wouldn't even notice or think twice about it.

[@enderkai618]

my thoughts exactly!! "our dogs aren't barkers" ??? yall have ~10 dogs and not ONE of them would bark at that??

[@splashy_official267]

It’s definitely the parents, they speak in PAST TENSE about their daughter. Candy (JUST AFTER HER KNEE WAS CHECKED) decides to garden and plant flowers?? Also, when the mom was looking for Summer she didn’t check anywhere else, check the bathroom? Check the bedroom? No, call Don and report it to the police?? Nothing adds up in their story. Also, about how weirdly calm they are and there are no tears?? Why were the boys left home alone if there was a predator? How would Don know about the predator if he was at work? We. Need. Answers!

[@astroAntagonist]

I think it's extremely concerning that the parents in all interviews are speaking about Summer in past tense. "She was," "She used to," etc. Parents who believe their kids are alive will do their best to not speak in past tense. That combined with the "gardening" and the mother being upset about the cadaver dogs is just very suspicious to me.

I’d like to note about the haircut situation. If Don is telling the truth that they shaved her head because her hair was getting out of control. This is most likely a sign of neglect. Not properly taking care of her hair to the point that shaving it is the only optimal solution in their eyes is child neglect.

[@misstiffanylaurine]

I agree with this. I think she had lice and the mother didn't want to deal with it. They shaved her head and in their own words "Shaved the mom's head so Summer wouldn't feel bad" I think that's what they mean by "out of control"

[@AmeliaTaylorr]

Yes!! Thankyou for mentioning this.

[@Hearth123]

I think lice is likely, but lice isn't in and of itself a sign of neglect. Lice are very contagious, one kid in a class gets it and all it takes is a hug to spread it. On top of other factors it can be neglect, especially because it's hard to get lice out of a dirty home so chronic lice can be compounding evidence for poor hygiene.

[@QouteTheRavenNevermore]

They also said in another interview that she had lice and that's why they shaved her head.

I used to hang out with old ladies with prescriptions when I was a teenager. There’s so much negligence and drug abuse going on that no one is giving the true story to cover their asses. Why is no one talking about them “planting flowers”? Digging a hole??

[@caseygriffin220]

This is just sad all around, I don’t think anyone will ever tell the whole truth. It doesn’t benefit them to do so. Dry drowning is my guess, mom and grandma were busy getting high aka “loading minutes” into their phone, so they covered it up. They need to check where they were gardening. Maybe grandma moved bc she knew her granddaughter was buried in her yard...

Including his claim that the phone call in the pharmacy was about a 'strange man lurking the property, touching the kids' despite the fact that both parents ever denied this convo. It puts spotlight on 'someone else', which is very convenient. He could have easily lured her out her house, as she knew and trusted him. He should be looked into.

Being from a similar background, I'm torn. Providing a 15 year old with smokes and alcohol was normal. They lied to keep other kids from being taken away. Paranoid neighbors who don't want land searched. Typical. If you got more than a dozen dogs, one will always be barking so you become earblind to it. But the drug activity around the area is troubling. Not sure if I trust the 15 year old entirely but who knows. I need more information. Unfortunately it seems like no one involved was completely sober at the time making this story horribly muddled. Poor baby is probably gone but hopefully they find who did it

I’m definitely suspicious of Hunter. The way he behaves during this video is so odd. If Summer is like a little sister to him, how is he so happy and humorous in the interview about her missing? He teases his mom giving her a hard time about answering his call finally, he brags about being a “tech guy”, and is able to laugh. I also think it’s weird no one is more focused on Hunter lying about the phone call Candace had- it seems to me like he is trying to make a suspect for people to look at. Why didn’t they ask him why his version of the phone call doesn’t match Candace or Dons? He also suggests her lungs are injured by the water after getting out of it. And his relationship with the family is weird to me.

The one statement that dispatch makes of “the mother went for a walk”, is easily explainable, in my opinion. Candice actually says in a few other interviews “I walked back over to my mom’s trailer” after walking Summer to their house when she wanted to go inside.

Something about Hunter gives me the absolute creeps. The way he talks in his interview is giving “its cool to be so close to this famous event” or like he’s trying to make candus seem super involved. Especially the part where he talks about what he overheard on the phone call to Don. Saying that “there was a guy on their property walking around and wanting to touch the kids” and when the reporter asks him to clarify what touch means he plays dumb and says “idk to hug them?” Something about that struck me as very odd. A 15 year old doesn’t know what it means when we say that someone “touches children”? As if he’s trying to act like he doesn’t know what the significance of that phone call would have meant if it were true. If anything, I don’t think what he’s saying happened is true, I think he’s trying to have his 15 minutes of fame

I just want to point something out because I had a FAMILY member go “MISSING” once. My BROTHER. He’s special needs/nonverbal autistic and mentally disabled. I was watching him one early Saturday morning. We were out front on the porch. I had to go to the bathroom which was about 20 feet away from the front door. I left the front door open and the bathroom door open so I can listen to him. I was in the bathroom not more than 60 seconds. I go back outside and he’s gone. I search the sides of the house, the back yard, inside the house. Nothing. I’m seriously panicking. I run down to one end of the street then the other, looking everywhere in case he wandered off. 20 minutes later I called the cops. I then called my mom sobbing telling her what’s happening and she says “what are you talking about? His part time Saturday caretaker picked him up. She said she popped her head in and yelled that she was there and took him” I was livid. The caretaker either lied about announcing herself or I simply didn’t hear her. So it is entirely possible to be in close proximity and not hear a dang thing.

It takes a lot of money and effort to get rid of lice with one or two people but in a house with several people, it's horrible, especially if you keep having to do it over and over.

You should take a listen to Reverend Donna Seraphina’s reading on what may have happened to Summer. She’s a psychic that regularly works with the FBI on solving these kinds of cases. In her reading she goes into descriptions of local landmarks that may be familiar to locals. She also describes appearances of certain locals in that area.. If only her videos would reach the right audience. I feel like someone in that town would know who she is describing or the location of some of the places she describes. I’ll come back and link the video once I find her reading

[@cherylwright4620]

Omg first time I've seen your broadcast and I have to tell you it was extremely well done.

[@smbeecrochetcreations4372]

Two things that stood out in this case: the parents refer to their daughter in the past tense in the interview at the beginning, which could be a red flag. Also, they report her missing, within 10 minutes of discovering that she isn't in the basement. Wouldn't they search for awhile first. Also, they immediately jump to the conclusion that she was abducted. This seems unlikely, because how would the abductor know that she was in the basement? Also, it's an isolated property, that isn't easily accessible. If I was the police, I would verify the timelines, by looking at CCTV in the stores, or talking to the employees. Then I would look at the cell phone records to figure out when the calls were made, and what text messages were sent and when. Once you have a verified timeline, then you can confront the inconsistencies in the stories. The family is key to this case...that's my gut instinct.

[@IHFlextape]

The family did show quite a Few red flags and they were acting a little weird and very calm but it was the way they described the situation and there daughters situation like they knew something happened

When the dad says it was getting out of control, I don’t think he was saying summers hair was out of control, but that summer trying to constantly shave her own hair was out of control so the parents decided to shave it themselves. As a kid I kept cutting chunks out of my hair and my mom would have to even it out despite her wishes. I think this is the same thing. It isn’t two different stories, it’s just misunderstanding what the dad is saying IMO.

[@periwinklenipples6072]

Appalachian dialect comes into play a lot with this case.

[@sammygirl6910]

I agree. My daughter nearly scalped herself at that age, full reverse Mohawk. Shaving it was the only option. Then she did it again, and again. The screenshot of Summer sleeping on the milk is sweet. I remember well falling asleep on the way back from the springs or the beach. Kids that age will sleep where they're going to sleep.

I wonder if Candace told the operator that she walked to her moms house without stating that her moms house is on their property. The operator could have then repeated it as her going for a walk, not knowing her house was right there.

Candace said she went on a walk.

[@Gamgamx3]

The dispatcher stated that the father had advised that the mother had gone for a walk and Summer was gone when she returned

[@cindyslavik5391]

I agree. I think it was just a miscommunication. Don could have told the dispatcher his wife walked over to her mother’s and when she came back she was gone. I’m sure they were in a heightened state at that time and trying to get the details out quickly.

[@juliebosgraaf3259]

I really don’t think the parents had anything to do with it. What if Hunter walked to their house to continue hanging out with them, saw Summer outside and walked away with her. There’s something not right about him. A similar thing happened to my 4 year old son. We were out in the front yard when our pizza was delivered. I took it inside and told him and my older daughter to come inside. My older daughter came in but not my son. I asked my daughter where he brother was. She said he was in the yard. I went out to get him and he was all the way down out street about to go into a wooded area with a neighbor boy who was 14 years old! I ram down and got him. I told the boy you’re too old to be with a 4 year old and told him not to play with my kids again. It happened so fast. That’s why I believe it is possibly that that’s what happened.

[@itsrachelbtw8169]

I feel the same way about hunter being a possible suspect. That interview with him explaining that he stole candices phone and deleted messages he found was really odd if you ask me.

[@AlexAlex-oh3tr]

Like there are A LOT of cases with older kids luring away younger ones and hurting them but their bodies are found almost immediately. I'm almost certain if he did this he had help OR he was doing it for someone else.

[@xMyBrokenWingsx]

Thank god i saw this 😂 i was so worried no one else caught it. Unless hes got an apple phone - idk anything about apple - androids DO NOT BACK UP text messages. Once you delete a text its gone from the actual phone. So he 100% lied about some random possibly made up drug dealer. Idk what i think happened but I 99% believe Hunter is not even 1% credible.

[@iriswaldenburger2315]

Yeah exactly. Kids do the weirdest things and this Hunter kid comes off weird to me as well. I get being honest about the alcohol and the weed - but the other stuff seems suspect that he claims the mom told him something completely different about that phone call

The thing we all know is this child didn't disappear in thin air. What I want to know is what her brothers had to say about the events that happened that day. I know they are juveniles but I know they had to have been interviewed at some point. Another person we don't hear from at all is from the grandmother who lives on their property & was with Summer the day she went missing. I am sure she was interviewed. Too many missing pieces to even try to make accusations.

[@NikkiNicolePop]

As someone who has a family member who neglects to properly care for her children, I fully believe they shaved her head because of lice and not wanting to properly treat her hair with medicated shampoos. My cousin has done this to her little girls on multiple occasions and it is sad. For some girls, their hair is their livelihood and taking it away can be like a form of mental abuse. In my cousin’s case, CPS has been called multiple times and they do nothing every time. I haven’t even finished the video, but I just get so heated hearing this! 😞

[@oldmandoinghighkicksonlyin1368]
