Summer Wells: Lost in Tennessee's Most Dangerous Search Zone

Описание: 5 Years Later: The Disappearance of Summer Wells | Hawkins County Search Challenges | The Interview Room

Five years ago, on June 15, 2021, 5-year-old Summer Moon-Utah Wells vanished from her family’s rural home on Ben Hill Road in Beech Creek near Rogersville, Tennessee. Despite one of the largest search efforts in the region’s history, Summer has never been found.
In this special 5-year update, retired homicide detective Chris McDonough breaks down the immense challenges faced by searchers and investigators in the rugged terrain of Hawkins County. From steep, densely wooded hills and treacherous underbrush to communication blackouts, water features, and logistical obstacles, this environment made the search incredibly difficult, even with hundreds of personnel, K-9 teams, helicopters, and dive teams.

We review the established timeline, the massive initial response, follow-up searches, age-progression photos, and the reasons this case remains active with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, the Hawkins County Sheriff’s Office, and the FBI.

If you have any information about Summer’s disappearance, please contact the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation at 1-800-TBI-FIND or submit tips online. Every lead matters.
