Summer Moon-Utah Wells, only 5-years-old, went missing from her rural Tennessee home in Beech Creek on June 15, 2021. Her parents reported her missing to the Hawkins County Sheriff’s Office that evening at approximately 6:30 p.m. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) issued an Amber Alert the following morning.

Summer has the lightest, beautiful blonde hair and big blue eyes, weighing only 40 pounds and standing 3 feet tall. She was wearing gray pants, a pink shirt, and possibly barefoot.

Investigators asked residents living near Ben Hills Road to check any trail or surveillance cameras that may contain images of Summer. They also encouraged residents to check their properties, their sheds, buildings, or any other possible place where she may have sought shelter.

Summer disappeared from a community with a population of under 4,000 people, averaging 49 people per square mile. Beech Creek is located in a mountainous area in southwest Tennessee, approximately two hours southwest of Nashville.

Summer Wells is listed as missing with the nonprofit group National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.
