Tennessee Bureau of Investigation releases missing Summer Wells update on alleged fundraisers, vehicle photo

Tennessee investigators again pushed back against social media rumors Wednesday in the case of missing Rogersville 5-year-old Summer Wells, who vanished from her home in mid-June.

In a statement, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation said that law enforcement is not responsible for an image of a purported vehicle linked to the case circulating on social media – nor have investigators asked for fundraising assistance. "It has been brought to our attention that a photo of what the truck may look like has been circulating on social media, along with claims that the vehicle has been located," the statement read. "This is not accurate. Additionally, the photo was not released by law enforcement." Investigators have been searching for a 1998 to 2000 model year maroon or red Toyota Tacoma with a full-sized ladder rack and white buckets in the bed that may have been near the Wells’ home at Beech Creek Road and Benn Hill Road on June 14, 15 or 16. The driver has been described as a possible witness.
