What some people don’t know is that Summer’s home is only a short walk from the main road in the Beech Creek Community. She could walk to Beech Creek Road in less than five minutes. This road goes to Kingsport and Rogersville. This area is also utilized by bicycle riders. I’ve seen over twenty people riding bikes together on Beech Creek. It looks like a small Tour de France. I’m not saying someone on a bicycle took her; just that this area has more traffic (bicycles, cars and motorcycles) than people realize. I would think if she were in the area cadaver and or search rescue dogs would have found her scent.

BUT she lets summer swing on that hill and lets her play on the step of the back door with her dolls or whatever and there’s even a path from the back door to the swing..... and also she lets the boys ride their motorcycle down this path through the trees down that hill..... but she walked her 5year old over to the front door and told the boys to watch her. Hmmmmmm idk man! Everyday I go back n forth with this but it’s just so hard for me to believe. You have a dog farm and nobody saw or heard nothing..... There’s just so much in that house. A hoarders house. Did they check that blue trash thing that the mom said they throw trash in there. To me it looked like it might go underground? Idk. Man I don’t think this lady walked her 5 year old to the door. And told her boys to watch summer. She lets those kids roam and run wherever on that property. I bet you! Just my opinion.

The only thing she was lying about was giving the Twisted tea to Hunter. And it was Extremely Obvious that she was lying... because she is a terrible liar. Which is a good thing. Seeing her lie about the tea-- revealed her 'tells'. And I really believe she was being honest about what happened with Summer. And honestly, the majority of the suspicion has come from flagrant speculation and sheer misconceptions. It's time to lay off these people. If this witch hunt continues, it's going to pressure Law Enforcement and maybe even give them an easy out... wouldn't be the first time a person was charged based in public pressure and speculation. And we have no idea how many innocent people are in prison. All that matters is finding Summer and the Truth.

When Candace was questioned about the 2 minute comment she said yeah 2 maybe 5 at the most. Someone asked her again and they said 2 to 10 minutes and she quickly said no 2 or 5 at the most.
