Summary

From the very beginning, the disappearance of five year old Summer Wells has caused confusion and frustration for everyone following it, from people watching it unfold on the news and on the internet and the websleuths who have made this case their personal project, to the law enforcement officials trying to put the pieces together. Due to the widespread attention, the investigation and news coverage of this case has been marked with a great deal of speculation and rumors, which is often what happens when so much is left unknown, and when the official narrative doesn’t really add up. Stephanie covered Summer’s disappearance on YouTube when it initially happened, but since then there have been more updates and more information has come to the light, and we know there were a lot of people who wanted us to talk about this case on Crime Weekly, because Derrick would be able to contribute his unique detective perspective and hopefully it will provide us with some insight of what happened here, and if there is any truth to the multiple rumors that have muddied the waters of this case.

So right now we are launching into our third and final part of the Summer Wells series.

0:26.6

And I'm not sure how everybody out there is feeling right now, but I don't feel great

0:31.1

about this.

0:32.5

And I want to go into today's episode, sort of looking at the extraneous kind of variables,

0:40.0

like what could have happened.

0:41.6

Because I think it's pretty clear, you know, besides Derek and I feeling instinctually

0:47.4

that probably someers parents know more than they're saying.

0:51.4

I think we can say that safely.

0:53.2

You know, that we feel like there's something going on there that we don't know about, and

0:56.3

there's pieces that are missing and there's connections that aren't happening.

0:59.7

And it's not really as simple and cut and dry as, you know, Candice and Don Wells have

1:05.4

made it seem to be.

1:06.4

I think we can all agree on that.

1:07.9

So we're going to kind of look outside of that box today and see, you know, is it possible

1:12.2

that Summer was abducted by some random stranger?

1:16.4

Is it possible she wandered off?

1:19.0

Is it possible that something happened besides her parents being directly involved, even

1:24.0
