On June 15, 2021, five-year-old Summer Wells was enjoying a beautiful day with her family. The little girl was helping her mother and grandmother plant flowers at their rural Rogersville, Tennessee home. But, like most little kids, she eventually grew tired of this activity and wanted to go back into the house and play with her toys. Her mom walked her back into the house, where her three older brothers were. Summer’s mother went back outside for just a few minutes, but when she returned home, her daughter was gone. What follows is a baffling case filled with accusations, conspiracy theories, and arrests, but no sign of Summer.
