Dr. Phil Asks Summer Wells' Parents How She Went Missing

Since the night of June 15, 2021, there have been no answers as to where Candus and Don’s 5-year-old daughter Summer could be. The parents say they thought they were doing the right thing by requesting the public's help to find their little girl, but it backfired. Instead, the couple say they became targets of online bullies who accused them of involvement in the disappearance of their missing child. In part 2, Don and Candus speak out in their exclusive first national TV interview. Dr. Phil digs deeper into the story to discover whether there is any new information that might help solve the mystery of Summer’s disappearance.

Im so happy CPS took action and removed the rest of the children out the home. That beautiful little girl might not have made it out but those kids did 🥺. That mother and father know more !

[monarchserenity]

That mother knows. She absolutely knows.

[Tishamilano]

A few things to know: Don tried to sell his first son from a previous relationship for drugs, also is a sexual abuser. Candus had her kids from a previous relationship taken away because of abuse. The neighbors heard a scream the same time summer went missing. Why aren’t they investigating the swimming area, she could’ve drowned.

[amyhutchinson]

Poor poor baby! I hope she has peace in her soul wherever she is!!

[letty]

I am a mother and no way would I be this calm. I would be searching for her and pleading for anyone to help me find her. It's insane 6 months and counting.
What about the boys? They must know something. This is infuriating. Where is Summer?

[wwequestriancenterexotics]

Don Wells he knew the trail was there. Candus stated the boys rode dirt bikes on that trail and Summer would chase them on that trail! Oh Dr sad

[smokinmirrors]

This case makes my blood boil. She clearly knows something. They both do!

[Gambakwe]

I believe an accident happened then she died and the mother is the cause but father is either hiding for her or hasn't been told about it by the wife

[Angela_J]

That mother knows what happened she's emotionless and then her tone and body language just screams guilty ! Maybe she didn't physically harm her but she knows

[sohardsea]

lets be honest. summer didnt have a bedroom. just ask cps

[Meanie]

I don’t believe it was a 5 minute interval that Summer was lost in. I think they let their kids be a lot more latch key than they are willing to admit which is what is bringing down suspicion on to them. If they admitted to their inattentiveness maybe they would come off less like they are lying. If they did have anything to do with her disappearance, I think they are covering for negligence, not that either of the parents hurt her themselves.

[detectivebubblegum]

It’s relieving to see people get the same feeling that don is either in the dark or in denial and that Candace is GUILTY.

[m.t.]

She's too quick to answer.She puts no thought into her answers at all
She just quickly answers.

[Cheyloveesbunny]

Why would they even keep a 5 year old down in the basement knowing there’s a door downstairs??? Really? I would NEVER let my 5 year old kid sleep downstairs in a basement especially with a door there!

[maliamarin]

Candace was terrified in this interview because she knew she was going to have to lie in front of the entire world!

[michellek.]

This woman is absolutely DISGRACEFUL! She knows way more than she is leading on! That poor, poor baby Summer! I Pray to God that they find her or at least find out what TRULY happened to this poor, little innocent child. 💔🙏✝️

[kellysong]

WHY would any parent let their young child have a room in a basement that has an outside door??

[lakeishagalloway]

Something is dark about the mother… she did something bad and they had to come up with the scheme the child went missing. What they did it was deliberate but the death was an accident. They could go to prison for life. THEY ARE LYING!!

[rtillery]

Hes lived there how long and didnt know the trail was there??

[lilbreezy]

As a soon to be mother I could NEVER be this emotionless over my own child! How sickening.
