Mother of missing Summer Wells speaks out for first time
Bly and Summer’s father, Don Wells, call Summer a tomboy. They say she even tried to shave her head to look more like her father.
“[Summer] was a tomboy,” Bly told WJHL. “I shaved my head; she wanted to shave her head like me and the boys did.”
What do they mean? That Summer tried to shave her own head.. That is quite alarming. There's something more complex about the head shaving. I cannot put my finger on it yet.
Btw that video shown, has some good aerial views of the house.
IMO: Don Wells has behavior that is not respectful of females. One minute he says, Summer Moon could do things that require strength which the boys could not do, then she's a "nice young lady". Sorry, but every time I hear that on video, I wonder if that is pedophile language from a NAMBLA's dictionary. CHRIS MCDONOUGH THE INTERVIEW ROOM Sunday Sept. 5th. mentioned NAMBLA, not a dictionary, my words.
Was the hair cut punishment? Who can be sure? My mom did cut my hair at age 9 because I wouldn't comb it. It is a horrible thing to do to a child. Adult females would visit our home and their first greeting was, hello. Their second was, "oh, is this one of your boys." It was a bit humiliating, to say the least. A year prior I was wearing my favorite dresses and patent leather shoes with ankle socks, (
similar to Summer Moon's Saturday Christmas pic) but, I wore curls in my hair. It was the best part of being a little girl,
IMO, second best was shopping for the styles. After those embarrassing moments, I couldn't wait to develop and mature physically. I was thinking, there was no way anyone would make that identity mistake after I reached puberty.
As seen in the church video, the children snubbed Summer, girls and boys. We don't know how often, but it is when her hair is short. Strange, 5 year old babies taught what Summer Moon is not, therefore, she is not likeable. If the other children were taught about lice, or short hair and pants at church, or what girls are supposed to look like, of course, we don't know. However,
IMO, the snub is there, from boys and girls. I wonder if they were taught that blonde hair and blue eyes are a status symbol? My opinion only. I'm just saying, Marylin Monroe has to be the most well known women in the world. She's as popular as Jesus. Anyway, I digress. To a child who offered love unconditionally, as Robin and Don implied, that could be a blow to her ego.
On the other hand, her mind set could have been, "good, my new short hair image is working, and now maybe I'll get the attention my brothers are getting, like a new motorbike."
(my thoughts and not Summer's)
Her mother is dressed like her son's. Big t-shirt, baggy shorts. Summer's pictures are pink toto, dresses, clinging tights and a swing at the tree.
"Never goes further than the tree by "her" swing." Long hair could have been a real drag, no pun intended. People giving her attention because of her looks could have been drag number two. Perhaps, she loved her brother's and sensed the demeanor when her looks attracted attention to only herself. Therefore, to be accepted in their group she sacrificed the positive attention, by cutting her hair. I believe she was that smart, positively, and calculating.
Speculation MO only.
I bet she was the leader of the family. What pressure. It does happen when there is substance abuse among the adults.
