Summer Wells Parents Speak Out
Summer Wells mom, Candus Bly, spoke out for the first time since her 5-year old daughter disappeared on June 15th –two weeks ago.
The first thing I want to ask her is why haven’t you spoken out before now?
Granted, I know her father has, but why hasn’t she? What took her two weeks?
You might wonder if it was because she was overwhelmed emotionally that she couldn’t, right? I could give her that. But to support that (if that is the case, I am suppositioning now), I would expect to see her expressing those emotions now, and we don’t!
It’s highly notable how flat-lined and unemotional both parents are! They are so relaxed and unstressed, I’m stunned actually! Are they on meds? Are there any meds that would knock out all emotions?
I am also shocked that there is no urgency, no pleas for her daughter’s return or asking people to help. They don’t seem to have any stress or worry this is an URGENT concern, do they?
They don’t do anything to help other people recognize her or bring her back either. They don’t describe what she was last wearing or anything. It’s mind blowing!
You’d think they were talking about a family picnic they had–not their missing 5-year old daughter!
Instead, they seem resigned and accepting that someone took her and there is nothing that can be done. This is not normal.
They should be holding up flyers, photos and keeping her face in the news! They should feel this is an urgent matter. They should be stressed, worried, concerned or sad — give me any negative emotion of loss! They don’t. It’s highly concerning.
Furthermore, Candus is telling us that her daughter was only out of her sight for a few minutes, right? So how far could the little girl have gone?
“…[Summer] wanted to go back over and see her brothers, and I said, ‘OK,’ and I walked her all the way over to the porch, and I watched her walking into the kitchen where the boys were watching TV. I told the boys, I said, ‘Watch Summer; I’ll be back.’ And within two minutes, I came back, and I asked the boys where their sister was, and they said, ‘She went downstairs, Mom, to play with her toys in the playroom.’ I said, ‘OK.’ And I yelled downstairs for her a couple times, and I didn’t get no answer, which was unusual because usually she always answers me. And so, I went down there to check, and she was nowhere in sight” (source).
So within what appears to be maybe 5 minutes, this little 5-year old disappear off the face of the earth and they couldn’t find her.
If you look at a map of their address, the child home is on a pretty secluded property where it would take her more than a few minutes to make it to the busy road.
More unusual is that both parents seem to believe they know what happened to their daughter, which doesn’t bode well to me. Most parents of a missing child do not want to make guesses about what happened to their child because they want EVERY avenue explored.
These parents are set on someone taking or luring their child, which seems very unlikely.
The odds of a stranger luring her is extremely low given the nature of their property, the distance from the road, the fact it is daylight, the short time frame the mom describes Summer being alone, the fact there was a dog in photos who I suspect lives at the property who would likely alert to a predator, and the fact a 5-year old isn’t talking online in forums to get someone to “lure” her from home as a teenager might be.
The odds are extremely low someone would (a) hang out in the bushes just hoping for the right time during the daylight, (b) see people active and about, and assume they could get her alone.
I’m not buying that theory at all and why are the parents?
When I see the creek in the back yard, as a adult with a missing 5-year old, I would worry about that first and foremost. Did she fall into the creek? Do they ever talk about it? Worry about it?
The father talks in one video about bears in the area, but they didn’t worry about the bears either? They only assumed a stranger kidnapped her in broad daylight while they were home. It defies logic.
Furthermore, they want to thank people in the video. Thank them for searching. Most parents of missing children don’t thank anyone until their child is home safe. The fact that they do doesn’t sit well with me.
They aren’t being forthright with us, if you want my opinion. Too many hot spots on this one sadly. I feel for Summer and hope she defies the odds and is somehow okay. Not believing the parents doesn’t mean they killed her, of course, but it can’t be ruled out.
