“I would truly prefer not to praise her birthday without her,” Donald said. “She was most certainly going to be tall, likely as tall as me, I’d say since she was becoming so quick.

I’m certain she would be a similar individual. Furthermore, she had no hesitations about taking on her brothers, that is without a doubt. She made sure to them in their place genuine fast.”

He noticed that the family won’t abandon seeing as her. “We need to set ourselves up for a worst situation imaginable,” he said. “You know, we could continuously expect a decent situation.”

A month after she disappeared, the Division of Youngsters’ Administrations likewise took guardianship of his three more seasoned kids, all children. Then, at that point, he needed to carry out a multi month punishment for a DUI accusation.

Donald at long last got set free from prison on Oct. 30, 2022. Being in a correctional facility, he said, was extremely secluding yet dove him into his confidence.

“One of the watchmen provided me with a duplicate of the New Living Interpretation Book of scriptures. So I viewed that as about the best book there was.

So I read,” Donald told the news station. “I read it a few times since what else could there have been truly to do? I was in [a] 23-hour lockdown for my security, they say.”

On the off chance that, you know, if Summer somehow happened to be found today, we wouldn’t have the option to see her or converse with her. Also, we can’t converse with our young men.”
In a Jan. 23 post to the family’s site, named “Find Summer Wells,” Donald opened up more inside and out about the guardianship fight to bring his children home, asserting that their alloted legal counselor won’t call them back and the territorial DCS contact has not answered their messages regardless of there being “no charges against us.”

“[DCS is] never really helping us. As a matter of fact, they’re taking us leap through a wide range of bands, which is inordinately difficult to go through every one of them and hold a task and do everything and making it genuine, genuine extreme on us,” said Wells. Individuals contacted DCS for input. A legal counselor for Donald couldn’t be found.

What’s more, Donald said his better half Candus “has been in the trauma center multiple times for heart issues” and they were checking out “in the long run performing significant medical procedure” to “right the issue with her heart. Summer was accounted for missing from her Hawkins District home on the night of June 15, 2021, as indicated by the Tennessee Agency of Examination.  The next morning, a Golden Alarm was given for the young lady.

“She was establishing blossoms with her mom and her grandma, and she needed to go into the house — needed to go first floor and play with her toys,” Donald said after the golden alarm was given per WSMV. “I went down in the storm cellar, and she was gone, so she went out the storm cellar entryway, which was opened, and we haven’t seen her since.”

During a public interview, Tennessee Department of Examination representative Leslie Earhart told journalists the conditions paving the way to Summer’s vanishing stay muddled, as it was unique of Summer to stray from home. Notwithstanding a few leads and tips submitted right off the bat in the examination, almost two years after the fact, Summer is as yet absent and her Golden Alarm stays dynamic.
