      May I ask you to make a video about this case in Las Vegas, a girl became missing she’s from Middle East, her name is JAWAHER , this girl was murdered, there are so much un answered questions, police of Las Vegas were so careless doing their best to humiliate the family, this family had to hire private investigators to search and here the case took different responds , there are big construction company building houses were later the girl body or part of the body was found, the detective who was working on the case was on vacation when she was reported missing, so had to wait on him to come back to work, this missing girl car was found in this construction location however when the car was found they contacted the mother to come pick up the car if the missing girl, they never used the car as may be criminal evidence or crime seen , this family have suffered sooooo much, not only bad police attitude but later found the bones confirmed DNA it was JAWHER bones, family asked to change detective later they did change detective to be surprised with much more bad attitude, so many questions , are detectives covering up,?? Camera in that neighborhood were never used to look who was driving the girl car
      Please look into this , we are viewing your channel from Middle East and we support your channel
      All respects
      Cheers

    Everything about this case is odd. I find it unusual for a 15-year-old boy to be friends with a 35ish-year-old woman. It is strange the parents were so sure she didn't walk off into the woods and didn't want officers "wasting time" looking there because they knew she was taken. I would want them to pursue both options. The father saying that it didn't matter even if she was found because they wouldn't get to have her was weird.

    She spoke with more emotion about being afraid of the coyotes before going “well whoever has my daughter..” with no concern or anything. I grew up and knew parents like them, feel like drugs could be involved and that some of the inconsistencies in Candace’s story are from her trying to hide the things they usually do like buying the drink and vapes and sharing with the 15 year old. I truly believe that Summer’s brothers all need to be interviewed in the right situation to find out what had been happening.

      Yeah, I have the same suspicions. In multiple clips she doesn’t *seem* sober. Which, if she was in active addiction, would def be exacerbated when Summer went missing. I don’t think she has anything to do with it, but I also see some lapses of inconsistency in her perspective story. I also agree that the 15 yo who was interviewed seemed sketch. She would be 7 years old and that is heartbreaking.

      It's important to remember that drug addiction is a serious issue affecting many individuals in the United States. However, assuming that missing children are being sold for drugs is not a helpful or accurate assumption. Let's focus on finding solutions to help those struggling with addiction while also working to keep all children safe.

    • @kJ-cp9qb
      @kJ-cp9qb Рік тому +11

      @@ErinStearns I understand how serious addiction can be but at no point was it said that summer was sold for drugs. I said drugs could be involved, as in Candace taking drugs and that playing a large part in her memory and she obviously wouldn’t want to admit to taking anything when she has children who rely on her,especially to the authorities. Candace supplying the vape and alcohol to the 15 year old was illegal therefore she wouldn’t be telling the authorities that and because of her memory lapses and trying to cover things up it’s just made more inconsistencies in her statements. I never made any assumptions that summer was sold or that any missing kids were sold for drugs. Drug addiction is indeed serious and at no point did I say help shouldn’t be given to those who need it and children shouldn’t be kept safe. Your comment is picking apart at things that were never said. Her brothers should be interviewed because so far it’s only the parents who’ve commented on what they had said. I never said she was responsible for her daughter going missing but that drug use and lying were definitely more than likely in this case and the day of summer’s disappearance.

      I think the 15 year old did it. I believe she did buy him a vape & alcohol but lots of teens smoke & drink & lots of adults provide, that doesn’t make someone a k*ller. I think that’s the only thing the mom lied about cuz she didn’t want to get in trouble but now because of that inconsistency everything else she said will be put under scrutiny
      The reasons I think he’s guilty are 1. He sounds like he’s lying 2. He’s a male teen with notoriously raging hormones, that coupled with a questionable upbringing is not a good combination.. especially when you throw a little girl into the mix 😒 but 3. he’s making up stories about a suspicious man touching the kids & about her having a swimming accident, both of those lies he made up to throw suspicion off of him. I surmise he walked to the house through the woods (which he knows well) he went into the basement & got the little girl to follow him back into the woods. He did all this after seeing her in her bathing suit that day 😒 he thought he could “pull a fast one” on the girl/assault her without her getting upset. Little girls often have crushes on older boys & with the raging hormones he got the wrong idea… but she got upset. So he had to “deal with her”. What a bastard. I feel so bad for the parents, no doubt people will blame them as they are uneducated & the mother is clearly slow. Plus people will point the finger about her buying the teen/guy a vape & alcohol which honestly is quite common in some areas. I fear the little girl didn’t make it 😓

      That wouldn't make sense. These places have cameras and the police would have to check the times that they said. Now don't get me wrong the mom and daughter might take the pains meds but I don't think that is the case. The whole family passed the polygraph test too. No way they would all be able to pass. I think that 15 years is lying about something and knows more than what he's saying. I don't think the family had anything to do with it. You can say they are calm but the videos you are seeing of them talking are not of them right after the fact. It's much later on and mind you people deal with things differently. Maybe they don't want to upset themselves over and over. It's stressful and exhausting. They might be hanging on to hope. But definitely don't believe that.

    • @crinklescat1871
      @crinklescat1871 Рік тому +13

      @@kayvictoria7250 I definitely agree that everyone reacts to shock differently. The reason I agree about the pain medication is because the grandmother flat out confirmed it was for pain medicine. And the mother had an inappropriate relationship with the 15-year-old. Ultimately, I don’t think that poor child will ever be found. the whole timeline of everything truly doesn’t make sense. It’s one of those cases that baffles me. But I live in the south and unfortunately people get judged around here for our accents all the time. But in this case, from where summer was, like she couldn’t just disappear into thin air. They had like 20 dogs and it if someone came on the property those dogs would’ve went nuts. I don’t like passing judgment on the parents, but they had the children living in squalor. The whole situation is honestly sad. the timeline for summer disappearing at home doesn’t make sense but her potentially drowning at the watering hole does make sense but I don’t think that that 15-year-old boy could’ve kept quiet as long as he has if that were the case.
      Ultimately, I think summer wandered off and got lost in the woods and it’ll be a long time before her body is recovered. Because when she disappeared, apparently the mom and grandmother were repotting plants. But I do believe that they had taken pain medication and it was the grandma‘s so she was taking her prescribe medicine but The mother was not prescribed that medication.
      And poly graphs are incredibly in accurate. It doesn’t matter if they pass or fail. Polygraphs have been debunked so many times that I can’t take them seriously under any circumstance. The brothers could’ve easily pass the polygraph as they didn’t know what was going on. The father, he might not have known either. And I’m sorry, but it was obvious that the mother was using pain medicine. Like it’s really easy to manipulate a polygraph and that’s why they’re really not used anymore, like they’re just not accurate.

    Summer Moon is why I got into True Crime. I had read and heard several things regarding the case early on, and decided to follow the case here on UA-cam. Since, I have not only become obsessed with learning the details and ins and outs of Summers case, as well as many others. Gannon Stauch, Classic and Cincere and Tylee Ryan and JJ Vallow have been very relevant issues in my life since, along with Sweet Summer. I now consider myself a true crime nut, as I have not laid my head down one night since Summers disappearance that I hadn't prayed for all of these victims, especially the ones mentioned above.

    This case makes me so thankful I am sober. I never lived as bad as this couple, but I remember when I was drinking and hanging out with questionable people that my life was always feeling out of control. Things in my house would go missing and I wouldn't be able to remember when I last saw it, or who to even blame because I had friends who would come and go whenever. I look back and think how harrowing it would have been in my addiction to carefully piece together a day or week or months, remember exact times, if I locked doors, etc and it would have been a nightmare. Now I know if my couch pillows are amiss when I get home. It should be a sobering thing for any parent watching this, that living a messy and chaotic lifestyle basically caused this case to be a total shitshow and botched the entire thing for the investigators. They all passed lie detector tests because they are telling the truth *to the best of their ability* and that ability is LOW because they are addicts.

    It’s 2023. It’s not like we’re in the 70’s or 80’s! Our technology has skyrocketed! How come this little girl is still not found?! It’s crazy to me!! I think about her so often… I don’t understand why they haven’t found anything yet. Mind blowing.

      Exactly! There stories don't add up and have changed too.. And what grown woman wants to hang out and drink with a 15 yr old boy?

      I agree… there’s satellite pictures of everything everywhere making it almost impossible to even privately live off grid now so I’m very confused how there’s nothing at all. Parents with all the media attention and public support should hire private investigators instead of being “sorry the police have to spend so much time in those woods.”

    Summer sounds like me when I was her age. My military father raised me until I was 12 and I worshipped my dad, so I was always right there with him working on cars, when he woodworked, chasing lizards, and just running around with the boys in my neighborhood playing football and kickball with them.. 😂 I still loved to run around with my male cousins when I got older more than girls my age. I thought they were silly and boring. Always talking about makeup, boys, clothes, etc.. I was much more interested in biology, science, etc.. I did like to dress up for holidays, dinner out, etc. But, I didn't have my whole life revolve around it. I want to think that summer is the little sister I always wanted, and she would've came into her one day. I think all women can see a little bit of summer in all of us.. poor, sweet, precious baby girl..

    The way I think about Summer Moon Wells everyday, I pray she gets justice and answers 🙏🏻

      ​@@annieelise I live in the same area as them. I saw them a couple weeks ago somewhere, I won't say where, and had to ride an elevator with them. They are really nice and looked sober at the time. Just country people. I've never thought they did anything to her. I guess living here, it's totally plausible to me she walked off or got taken.

    The Lab and Chris McDonough'interview with Don this week was quite interesting. He went on a tangent about losing a child - not that she was kidnapped

    Thank You Annie, for doing this story. I live in Kingsport & it is heartbreaking, every time I go into a store & see this little girl’s picture on the door. The story makes no sense, I just wished they would find Little Summer. Local news don’t even cover the story anymore, it was good to hear the details & bringing some attention to the case.

    The Red Bin with the FOR SALE sign on it that Summer danced infront of on the 14th of June I noticed is painted purple.

    Annie I also have followed this story from the beginning! I watched probably all in this case! While I'm from Indiana, I do have some ties to Tennessee. Really their lifestyle isn't uncommon in that area! Things that most people wouldn't do, the things they do aren't alarming to most around there. In my heart that little girl was taking or wondered off! Thank you for keeping her name out there!❤❤

    Plus the sweater Summer Wells was wearing in the truck that day, I have a picture with that sweater in a wooden box with Summer's name burnt into it with some of Summer's belongings.
