  Speaker 3: these two that were really really structure with me. Guys. Also,
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: my video of Blue, I don't know why I look blue.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I didn't do anything different, so maybe
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: it's Monday Blues. But anyway, let's jump into our first
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: case case see I'm gonna take some water in a
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: deep breath. So. Jared McCullough was thirty three years old
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: and lived in Mary and Louisiana. So he was an
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: agent boy and on November fourth, twenty twenty three, Jared
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: packed up a truck with his two dogs and headed
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: to Salem, Illinois, se son. Now. Jared had spoke with
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: his son's mom right before he left around six thirty pm.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: No one knew anything was wrong until his parents got
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: a called. His parents didn't even know that he left town,
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: so it was definitely a last minute trip. But his
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: son's mom knew, but his parents. Jared's parents found out
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: when they got to call. In November sixth, twenty twenty
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: twenty Yes, twenty twenty three from Please was found Brandon
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: in Knox County, Indiana. Both doors were loved to open
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: and his two dogs were inside the t truck. Jared
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: the phone and wallet or not inside the truck, so guys.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: This led to investigating this as a disappearance because he
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: was not the truck. Now. Jared was seen on camera
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: at multiple gas stations along his drive. He was last
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: seen in Carmel, Illinois around We're just gassed and then
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: got into his truck. And okay, now, when they truck,
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: they found his shoes apart and on a slope near
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: where the truck was found. Now, it is suspected that
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: Jared was going to meet up with his son's mother
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: in Salem, Illinois, and they were going to go together
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: to visit their son, who's currently housing a juvenile attentions.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: Now we know that Jared's made in the early hours
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: on November. Now, his son's mother told please Jared never
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: made it to her house, but that he made it. Now,
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: Jared's parents had received an email from the GMC truck
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: that Jared was in saying that the battery had died
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: around six thirty and cell phone was in his parent's name.
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: Looked last time his own seat was around six thirty
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: PM on the same day. Okay, now, guys, jeered truck
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: was founding a very remote area and local said, you
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: didn't really see cars out there, so it's not like
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: so for example, when I was traveling back happily in
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: this last weekend, me and my granddaughter pulled over, went
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: to a little towny country road to let Jasper go
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: to the bathroom. Her legs. All of that kind of stuff.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: So this road that he found wasn't that it was somewhere.
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: It was very unusual based on everything I read for
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: a car to be there. Now, you remember the doors
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: were open and the dogs were in the truck. Dogs
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: were not walked up in anything. They weren't in a
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: kintel inside that truck. They were laying down inie the truck. Now,
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: one of the dogs didn't want to get out of
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: the truck when people tried to get the dog out.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: So that tells me that something happened, you know, because
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: I can't imagine why the dogs would stay in the
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: truck yours reports. These dogs were not trained, and they
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: followed Jared everywhere, kind of like Jasper does bear bow.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: They followed me, So for them to stay in the
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: car would mean they got scared. But dogs, So that
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: is just really weird. Now, with the area being so
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: remote and away from the highway, no one can figure
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: out why Jared was there and how he's on that road. Okay,
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: he loved his truck and his dogs, and his family
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: said they cannot imagine him leaving his dogs alone in
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: the truck or him leaving on his own. So as
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: I like to say, No one just disappears off of
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: this earth. Now, However, if you're on that mode of
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: a road, Okay, maybe not a lot of people see it. Okay,
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: that can happen, but you still don't disappear completely without
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: a place. Right now, When Samley talked to Jared's mother,
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: they were trying to figure out why Jared made the
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: last decision to drive out his son. Did something happened
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: at the juvenile you know facility, did he get into
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: another flight? There was rumors that he was being bullied
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: and he was do not do not know? The mom
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: wasn't that helpful? Now when his family looked at his
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: phone records, they stole Jared and the child's mothers several times.
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: Derek there, however, she said, shall we talked to him
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: at one time? Which right off the bat, guys suspicious
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: as hell because his call along shows something different. Okay. Now, Also,
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: Jared spoke to his grandmother, and he also didn't give
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: any information as to why and what they talk about.
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: Now Jared's mother, did I get her name? My grandmother
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: have not spoken to her since first time they talked
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: when Jared witnessing, and let's just say the conversation went
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: out very quickly. And guys, that's another red flag to me.
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: I'm not blaming anyone. I'm just telling you red flags.
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: There can be red flag and nothing be wrong. Okay.
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: Red flags are just things that make you go mm hmm.
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: It's interesting, isn't suspicious to me? It's suspicious that she
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: said she only talked to me once when call log
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: show it with more than that. Why lie about it?
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: You know, why lie about it? Why not just say, hey,
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: we spoke a couple of times, you know, just what
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: does it matter if you spoke once or three times? Okay? Now,
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: there has been some rumored sightings of Jared, but nothing
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: that has been confirmed since that video of the gas station. Now,
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: Jared did have a criminal past, and he spent time
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: in prison for drug charges, and once he got out,
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: he moved him with his parents, and guys, he started
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: getting his life back on track. Everything I know read
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: he was trying to do what he needed to do
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: to get his life back on track, you know, leave
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: his past in the dirt behind him, and that he
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: wanted to bring his son with him when he got
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: out that juvenile facility, and he wanted to help his son,
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: you know, get on the right path. It sounded like
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: Jared did something in prison that a lot of people
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: don't do. He sat and realize, Okay, is this what
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: I want my life to be? No, he wanted to
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: get out, you know, and he wanted to live his
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: life properly. So that tells me that he wanted to
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: do things the right way. Okay. So also I just
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: went blank because I saw a message pop up somebody
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: asking about Chase. We are not doing any Chase updates today.
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: We are working on Chase updates. We are deciding if
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: we're going to release those in a separate issue or
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: if we will talk about it podcast Thursday night before
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: we get into our life, you know, my stream cases.
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: So as of now, I would says that you're going
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: to get those on Thursday. Okay, guys. Sorry, wanted to
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: just respond to that real quick. Okay. Now, like I said,
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: Jared didn't complete turnaround, you know, when he was trying
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: to stay on the right path. Now, guys, he was
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: trying to do things right. But Jared also lost his
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: younger brother and his death within a year of each other. Okay,
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: that is a lot of trauma people for anybody. But
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: he was still trying to stay on the right path,
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: doing what he needed to do. So that tells you
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: he really was making a change in his life. Now,
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: Jared was very close to being finished with this five
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: year parole sentence, and unfortunately he missed a court date
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: because it was already missing, and a warrant was issued
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: for his rest. Now, guys, I just want to say, seriously,
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: the dude is missing and you want to follow a warrant,
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: but he missed court. How the hell are you supposed
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: to show it for courts? Missing? Somebody please tell me
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: that up. Okay, I don't get it now. Also, Jared
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: had a lot of positive things going on in his life.
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: He welcomed the new baby in September of twenty twenty three,
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: and he and his ex were co parenting the baby together,
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: and apparently they were friends and they said, hey, we're
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: not meant to be a couple, but we're really still
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: great friends. Let's be great friends and let's hope here
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: and raise this child together. So when I say he
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: had a lot of good things going on his life,
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: and he was working very hard to new passes past,
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: he was doing what he needed to do. Okay, what
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: I find weird is his son's mother still went to
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: visit her son, and Jared did show up after he
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: arrived in the Salem and then she went with her boyfriend. Also,
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: the child's mother has told multiple stories and isn't really
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: being cooperative, which is you guys. So I find that suspicious. Okay,
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: the mother has not had many years and he was
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: the custody of the state. So Jared's son sounds like
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: he had been through a lot. Jared sounds like he
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: was taking responsibility for his part. But definitely some things
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: going on in that family. Now, I did find an
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: article that the police said they do think i'll play
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: and your disappearance and those person cases, there's a speculation
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: as to what happened. One thing the family is sure
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: of is that would not make his disappearance and he
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: wouldn't leave his two dollars unless someone took him as
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: going from that new baby or this beautiful attention facility.
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: I mean, I agree with him. Why would he do
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: all of this work, get through all of this hard time,
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: get on the right track working, you know, put in
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: your car notes, raising your dogs, to just walk and
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: leave all away. So I don't know, Jared mccallo was
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: five foot nine, long hair, blue eyes. He was last
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: seen wearing a light blue shirt, blue jeans, and a
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: heart heart jacket. Guys, what is the part? I don't
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: know what that is, but apparently it's a big you know,
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: it's something that's unique. So if you have any information,
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: please call eight one two eight one two seven six. Now,
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: once again, I think the police need to find a
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: way to make people talk that is legal, it doesn't
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: mess with their rights. There has got to be a
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: way to compel people to tell into talk. I mean,
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: can't you at least take them to the police station,
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: put them a hot seat for twelve hours and question them.
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: I mean, his son's mom, it's the last person talked
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: to him. It sounds like he was in the town
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: where he was trying to go. Now, I did see
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: that he also is in a different direction. We'll tell you.
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: There is a Facebook page finding mccullich that has pictures
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: of Jared and his two sweet dogs along with along
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: with information from this mine. Okay, so it's okay, that
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: helps me a lot. It's okay. It's something kind of Oh,
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: I can't even think of the name what I'm thinking
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: of here, but got it. It's a ransomware like got
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: it now. Also, here's a detailed timeline which I didn't
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: get into on the Finding Jared page because it's confusing
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: as all get out due to the fact that Jared
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: went missing right during time change. So you know how
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: we do that all backwards, bring ahead? He went missing
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: during time change, and I guess there's confusion because when
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: did the video cameras update? Is their time light? Is
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: it an hour off? An hour head my cell phone? Guys.
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: I tried to dig into it, and I was like,
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: oh my god, I'm confused, and I'm not here to investigate.
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: I am here to put the word out and share
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: that Jared is missing. I don't think his case has
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: gotten enough publicity, and I can help but feel like
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: it's because he has a priminal record, and I do
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: not believe that that should matter. He is still someone's child,
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: He is a father, and he did his time, He
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: paid his due to society. He was doing everything he
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: needed to do to turn his life around. So we
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: should hear that he is missing and there should be
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: more out there about it. So I'm going to tell
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: you all go join the Finding Jared McCollough facebook page.
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: There is a lot of information and some adorable pictures
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: of the dogs. The dogs broke my heart because you
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: can just tell that you are just oh, they just
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: look like yummy little dogs. So that's about Jared. I
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: think somebody needs to do some digging into the ex
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: the son's mom, and I hope that he's found. He's
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: got a new baby, sounds like his teenage said, really
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: needs good, solid dad in his life, so I hope
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: they find him. Now, guys, I'm going to warn you
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: buckle up because this next case is crazy, horrific, puzzling,
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: and I think it's going to be another John Benet
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: Ramsey type case that I don't think we're ever really
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: going to go but it's horrible. So I want to
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: warn you that we will be talking about sexual assault
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: in this next so if that is something for you,
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: we're not going to get into details, but it is relevant,
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: so we are going to talk about that. So that
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: is something that you are with, please, you know, walk
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: off and we'll see you next time. Summer Wells was
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: a beautiful five year old girl. She went missing on
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: June fifteenth, twenty twenty one. Guys, the pictures of her
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: are just lessioss. Okay. She went missing in Rogersville, Tennessee,
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: with a small rural town with less than five thousand residents. Guys,
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: I mean, I think it's small. But when I was
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: driving back from Abilene last weekend, we went through towns
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: that had like one hundred and fifty people, four hundred
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: and thirty people. That's what I think. The small town
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: is under five thousand. To me, I guess it's still
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: a small town, but I don't know. It just doesn't
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: feel small small to me. That's sweet because I live
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: in Texas the very things huge right now. Summer had
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: been plenty hours with her mom and her grandmother before
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: she went inside to go in the plate basement. Well,
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: her brothers were in the kitchen, so her father said
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: he went to check on her and that she was
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: not there. He asked, is the boys sister? And they're
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: all like, hey, she went down to the basement. The
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: basement door was open. Okay, guys, every house that I've
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: been into that has a basement, there is a door
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: to the basement and the door outside. So my first
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: initial thing right off that is basement door being left open.
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: To me that's like a bedroom door being left open.
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: It doesn't go straight outside because it straight outside of
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: its abasement because underground. Okay, right me if I'm wrong,
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: And for her to be missing, that means there had
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: to be another door she went out. So why didn't
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: nobody hears the door, back door, my door, whatever door
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: opening close, especially in the kitchen? Okay? So I found
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: that that. Okay, sorry I was reading that. Okay, So
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: right off the bat, why did nobody hear the door
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: open and close? Because the basement door was opened up,
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: the front door or door, whichever door it was. So
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: I want to know how a five year old just
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: disappear without anyone hearing a door if her brothers were
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: in the kitchen, her mom was outside. So grandmother lives
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: in a trailer. Come looks like an r V on
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: the property. Mom is there helping grandmother with the knee race,
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: So why didn't hear it? Why? I don't know? That?
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: That to me was to me was interesting. So police
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: issued it in the amber alert immediately and they begin
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: searching the surrounding area for Summer and guys. The police
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: have said they do not have any evidence whether Summer
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: was abducted walking on her own, or she was killed.
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: Three years later, they are still actively searching for Summer
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: and are flowing up on every tip that comes in. Guys,
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: they have searched vast areas of this area. I mean
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: I was shocked reading the amount of acres that they
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: had searched. So police are really really doing that, Captain,
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: A cellar door, to me, a cellar door would still
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: come up into the house. It wouldn't go outside what
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: it because they said it was a basement. Maybe I
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: don't know because in Texas we don't have those, So
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: I don't know. Now, Guys, this casement's a little more
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: twisty and winding. Child Protective Services stepped in after Summer
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: went missing and they have taken custody of the boys. Okay,
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: in to date, they are still in mistake custody and
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: the parents are not allowed to have any contact with them. Now,
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: this led me down a rabbit hole because why would
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: CPS take the other children if Summer truly went missing
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: and there wasn't any suspicion about the parents. Okay. I
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: used to be a CASTA advocate, and there has to
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: be just caused to go in and do a removal
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: of children. I like to find more information about why
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: exactly they we're taken. Now. I did see some articles
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: stay in this CPS took film because of the media presence,
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: the family getting threats and they just didn't think it
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: was safe. Well maybe that was the case from the beginning,
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: but three years later they sat the kids and they're
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: not allowing the kids to contact with the parents, which
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: tells me there's more that story, because when kids are
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: into custody and my experience, they even have supervised visitation
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: for the courts and CPS to say no contact means
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: something going on. So I went down a rabbit hole.
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: So we're going to start with Don Wells summer Dad.
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: I'm going to just tell you, guys, I don't much
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: like you, but don't knowing just my personal opinion from
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: everything I've seen and heard. Donald has a very very
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: colorful past, to say these. Between nineteen ninety and two
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: thousand and one, he was with to aggravated assault, interfering
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: with the public servant, forgery, urgalry, and theft and guys.
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: Since two thousand and one, he's had multiple arrests for
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: domestic violence, some with the next wife, some with his
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: current wife, Summers one. Charges were all dropped. The women
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: came back and said, no, everything's okay. You know, it
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: was just like charges were dropped, which happens. I can
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: tell you from personal experience, it happens. Now. He was
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: also arrested with the possession of a hanggun while under
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: the influence, an unlawful quession of a weapon. So he's
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: got some mass. Now this is where I get a little,
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: a little concerned. Don stepsister spoke with Chris Madnahue. I
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: think that's how you say it about sex being sexually
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: abused by Don Wells during her entire childhood. Okay. Apparently
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: she said started abusing her when she was five years old,
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: and that the abuse continued and she's twelve, and it
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: looks like Summer's mom muses about the allegations, and she
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: still had a child with them, and she still allowed
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: this five year old child to sleep in bed with
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: her and Don. Yes, I know, Don is her father.
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: I know that people can change the guy's right off
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: the back. That makes my radar go off. Okay, because
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: if you know that the man you're married to has
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: been accused of blesting his stepsister and there's accusations of
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: him sexually abusing other children. I wouldn't be having a
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: child with this person, and I wouldn't have my kids
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: around this person because at the end of the day,
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: your job as a parent is to protect the children.
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: So I just wouldn't. I find that very creepy. Now
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: you couple that with the domestic violence issues, I'm going
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: to say, this couldn't have been a good environment for
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: any child. Okay, Now, what I find interesting is Summer
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: was five when she went missing, and he started to abuse
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: his stepsister at age or that's her earliest memory. Now
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: I'm going to tell you all. You can go listen
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: to the whole interview on Christ's channel on YouTube. It's heartbreaking,
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: you know, it's really heartbreaking. The stepsister came forward as
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: soon as she heard Summer was missing and told police. Oh, now,
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: I guess that the steps are stre is not the
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: only child to say that don sexually have been assaulted them.
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: So why am the hell would anyone let this child
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: or have a chuld with them. Also took showers with Summer,
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: both of them naked. Ok You guys, I know your
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: father and I know a lot of people are going, Hey,
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: it happens, but not when there's allegations want evidence that
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: the man has sexually use a five year old he
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: apparently likes age. No, I mean it's just me. Okay,
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, but I say no now, Summers mom. Candace
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: also has a criminal record, and interesting enough, everything I've
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: found said most recently he had a domestic violence charge
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: most recently. That leads me to believe there are more charges.
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: I did not go down the rabbit hole trying to
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: find out what all our charges are because I don't
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: think they were all of it or all of the
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: news reports put out there. Now, Don and Candace Wells
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: have said that the public has been buried them and
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: have accused them of being horrible people. Don has said
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: that his criminal history is in the past and it
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: should stay there. And I'm sorry to tell you, Don,
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: it doesn't work that way. When your daughter goes missing,
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: you're under screwt. May not have asked for it, but
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: everything in your closet, good bad skeletons are gonna come out,
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: and your past can't stay in the past because the
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: police need to go through every single thing to find
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: help what happened. Okay, now, I I also I also
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: have a problem with that. They continue to say that
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: Summer was ejected from their home. But guys, this is
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: a small town of less than five thousand people in it,
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: and they lived in a very rural area, so there's
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: not a lot of random strangers roaming around, right. So
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: my first thought is a random abduction is highly unlikely.
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: Not saying it's impossible, but wouldn't it be highly unlikely
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: if you don't have a lot of people in that area. Okay. Now,
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: on Don's past with sexual assaults of children, eye lunch charges, guys,
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: one of his charges was for stealing panties, okay, And
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: when he was younger, he burned down a building on
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: his parents' property that killed animals. He was also known
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: to be cruel to animals when he got older. So, guys,
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, I am gonna say he's not a good guy.
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: I even found reports that he through Summer's cats to
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: dogs that attacked the cat while Summer watched. What the hell? Okay,
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: I mean, all of this is red flags. Makes me
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: think that maybe this is why CPS took the kids away,
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: But I don't know. Just it's very very suspicious, okay,
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: very suspicious. I also want to say Don's oldest son,
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: who is my mom, is a registered sex offender and
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: he is on the register now. He was not intilcy
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: at the time of Supper's disappearance. But I do think
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: it's just one more interesting piece to me about this family. Now,
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: the family down and Candice went on the Doctor Phil Show,
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: and of course Doctor Phil didn't He asked questions and
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: he brought up the rumors about bread mafia. Okay, guys,
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: you heard me righte. Cornbread mafia. No, cornbread Malfia is
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: not people who come and make cornbread from you. They
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: are not people who steal cornbread. Okay. Basically everything I
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: could find is cornbread mafia refers to people in the
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: marijuana business, and it's more of a coin of silence
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: instead of them Malfia. So I don't know why they
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: held their but interesting enough, what was interesting about the
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: Doctor Phil episode. Candace remains pretty well put together, considering
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: their talking about their daughter missing. But the minute Doctor
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: Phil brought up the corn bread mafia, Candace got very upset,
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: started crying and they had to walk away. And I
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: found that very odd because you were not in distress
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: until that was brought up, so that led me down
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: another rabbit hole. Are they possibly involved with that cornbread mafia?
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: Did they do something against the corn bread mafia and
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: they got revenge? I mean, it just caused me to
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: think about a lot of things. So I will tell you.
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: You can find the Doctor Phil episodes on YouTube. There's
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: two of them, very interesting. I try not to say
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: how parents should act. I haven't been in their shoes,
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: but there are some things that I have very interesting
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: in that interview and her getting upset over that, really,
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: you know, piqued my interest. Another thing I found interesting
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: is Doctor Phil, based on the timeline and talking with them,
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: he doesn't think Simmer's parents killed her or hid her body. However,
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: Doctor Phil doesn't believe the parents are telling everything they
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: know about Summer's disappearance. He especially thinks this knows more.
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: And what I also found interesting is the way he
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: worded that, because Doctor Phil did not mention that he
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: didn't think they were completely innocent. He didn't say that
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: they had no involvement and maybe introducing Summer into sex
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: trafficking or training her with the corn bread mafia or
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: anything like that. Okay, guys, that made the hair on
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: my whole one stand up. You know, doctor Phil was
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: very careful with the way he worded it. He doesn't
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: think they killed her or that they had bought but
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: he's not saying that they weren't involved. Okay, and I
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: try to be so kind and understanding, as I have
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: not gone through with these families are going through currently.
• 41:56
  Speaker 3: I do, however, fun it's so hard to be kind
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: of watch parents interviews, read the news articles, and hear
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: about the lives of Summer. I get the media it
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: has been tough on them and their other children are
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: taken away. But guys, I also found that the boys
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: have said they do not wish to be returned home
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: to their parents. That says a lot to me. Okay,
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: that says a lot to me. Also says a lot
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: to me that CPS does not let the parents see them. Okay.
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: The media is going to be up on parents who
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: kids go missing, especially when they have the history of violence,
• 42:35
  Speaker 3: sexual assault. Okay. Now there is photos going around the internet.
• 42:41
  Speaker 3: This shows Summer sleeping in a car, hooked up a
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: couple of pallons of jokes. I'm not going to get
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: into all the rumors about the photo and people saying
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: online that she looks dead in the photos, that it
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: looks like holding her up. I'm going to let you
• 42:59
  Speaker 3: guys in that hole. If you wish I looked at
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: the picture, I am going to choose to believe that
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: she was sleeping in that picture. No expert has come
• 43:11
  Speaker 3: out and said anything. So police have not arrested or
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: charged anyone who regards to the disappearance of Summer Wells,
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: and police have not ruled out donor Candace as being
• 43:24
  Speaker 3: persons of interest in the case. Now, if you have
• 43:28
  Speaker 3: an incredible information or tips about the disappearance of Summer Wells,
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: please contact the TBI at one eight hundred TBI fine.
• 43:40
  Speaker 3: That's one eight hundred eight two four three four six three.
• 43:46
  Speaker 3: Like I said, I fear this is going to be
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: more like Sean Beney and we're never going to know
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: what happened. I wish I had the bandwidth to investigate
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: this case and talk to the family and do a
• 44:01
  Speaker 3: special on it, like, but I don't have that bandwidth.
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: Maybe someday. Now, next up, I wanted to share a
• 44:14
  Speaker 3: missing case that I thought you all might enjoy a much.
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: I did, okay, And yes, I use the word enjoy,
• 44:23
  Speaker 3: and I say, enjoy only because of the alert. I
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: don't enjoy missing part missing dog alert. Have you seen
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: our eighty five pound pizza enthusiast Rex. He's a German
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: shepherd with the hardest big as his appetite for pizza
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: last day chasing a pizza delivery driver hoping for a
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: slice of the action. Literally he wanted the slice. He
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: answers for Rex that might also respond to pizza, a
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: lover extraordinariy or any crinkle pizza box. If you find him,
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: please lure him in with a cheese scented trail or
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: a promised belly rubs. We know his weaknesses. Reward a
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: lifetime supply of eternal gratitude. Plus we might share a
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: slice with you. Help us bring Rex home where the
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: pizza less dog food is far less exciting. Please share
• 45:26
  Speaker 3: this post and keep an eye out our neighborhood. Thank you,
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: I mean, guys. I want to meet Rex and share
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: a slice of pizza with him, and I hope they
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: find him and they get him back home, because my
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: dogs are my kids, and let me tell you, I
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: would be out there looking. I would be putting pizzas
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: on my porch for him. So it was a horrible
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: and I thought it was a little lighthearted too. In
• 45:59
  Speaker 3: this kind of I'm finding that Midday Missing is right
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: a tug on my heart strings, quite a tug on
• 46:07
  Speaker 3: my heart streams. So I want to thank you all
