Missing | Summer Wells

Summer Wells vanished from her family home in Tennessee on June 15, 2021. No trace of her has been found since that date.

Summer had allegedly been planting flowers with her mother Candus and grandmother (also named Candus) on the day she disappeared. She got bored, and her mother's story is that she went back inside. Summer told her brothers that she was going to her basement bedroom to play with her toys. This is the last time she was ever seen.

Summer's parents have a theory that she was abducted via a basement door that opens to the outside of the home. Many believe this was not a stranger abduction though. Did something happen to Summer and there has been a cover-up? Could the infamous 'Cornbread Mafia' be involved?

In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast we discuss:
- The circumstances surrounding the disappearance of Summer Wells.
- The ongoing search for her - the TBI have so far investigated over 1200 tips in this case and are trying to track down the driver of a vehicle seen in the area at the time.
- The criminal records of her parents and other family members.
- The removal of Summer's siblings from the care of their parents in July 2021.
- The appearance of the parents on Dr Phil recently - Summer's mother stormed off set after being 'interrogated'.
- Theories about Summer's disappearance. Could a shady group of characters known as the 'Cornbread Mafia' have taken Summer in retaliation from a drug debt? Was Candus negligent and does she know more about what happened to Summer? Could this really have been a total stranger abduction?
