The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation says today (Sunday, February 4, 2024) is Summer Wells’ 8th birthday.

She’s been missing since June 15, 2021.

Wells was first reported missing from her family’s home in the Beech Creek community of Hawkins County when she was just five years old.

Her disappearance sparked weeks of active searching throughout the county, involving numerous agencies from different states and hundreds of people combing through the wooded area.

Although the TBI still doesn’t have the answers they have been seeking, agents continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding her disappearance.

In June of 2023, the TBI released an age-progressed photo of what Summer might look like as she got older (seen in the main picture for this story).
