    Details of Disappearance

    Summers was abducted from her family's home in San Bernadino, California on March 30, 1977 with her younger half-sister, Tiffani Wise. Their mother, Beverly Wise, was discovered murdered inside their residence. The girls' eight-month old sister was left behind unharmed. The intruder(s) remain unidentified and the crimes are unsolved.

The girls' father is Claude Wise; a family photo is posted below this case summary. Summers was born in San Jose, California. She had a petite stature at the time of her abduction; she and Tiffani were approximately the same size, although there is a three-year age difference between them. There were unconfirmed sightings of the girls in the Boise, Idaho area around 1979. Their whereabouts remain unknown.
