What happened

Summer Moon-Utah Wells, 5, was planting flowers with her mother and grandmother at her home on Ben Hill Road in the Beech Creek community of Hawkins County on June 15, 2021, when she went inside to play with her toys in the basement. Her brothers told investigators she had come in; minutes later, she was gone.

The statewide AMBER Alert issued the next morning has never been cancelled. More than 3,000 acres were searched in the first two weeks, and thousands of tips have been checked since. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation says the circumstances remain unclear and that it has no evidence Summer was abducted from the home; foul play has not been ruled out. Her parents have never been charged in her disappearance; they say she was taken and that they had nothing to do with it.

Age progressions released by the bureau and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children show her at 7 and at 9. Summer turned 10 on February 4, 2026, and she is still missing.
