Summer Wells Father | Donald Wells
Summer Wells’ father, who was in jail for DUI charges since June, 2021, is breaking his silence after being released from jail in connection to the disappearance of his daughter.
According to Donald Wells, the Wells family is still committed to the search for Summer, the 7-year-old girl who went missing after picking flowers with her mother and grandmother in June 2021. In addition, he pointed out that the family will not give up on finding her no matter what.
Her father Donald said “I don’t really want to celebrate her birthday without her. She was definitely going to be tall, probably as tall as me, I’d say because she was growing so fast. I’m sure she would be the same person. And she didn’t have any qualms about taking on her brothers, that’s for sure. She didn’t hesitate to put them in their place real quick. We have to prepare ourselves for a worst-case scenario, You know, we could always hope for a good scenario.”
