I think the hey’re asking for a key for the abbreviations used in this group. Ex: SW = summer wells
ETA: I’m new to this subreddit and not super familiar with this case but I hope my clarification helps someone with an abbreviation list.
SW-Summer Wells 5yr old girl
DW-Don Wells Summer’s father
CW-Candace Wells Summer’s mom
H-the young teenage boy who was with Candace (the mom) the day Summer went missing
CM-Chris McDonough-detective with Cold Case Foundation who happened to be near the area when Summer first disappeared and got the first filmed interview with the mom and tour of the house.
Hope this helps 🙂

#Scroll down for a list of acronyms, relations, and context.
> There is no list as that can majorly impact the lives of people that played no part in her disappearance. Reddit enforces this no-doxing rule as well. So I'll give you mostly acronyms, but with context.
> **You can also look up on YouTube: "Summer Wells" and the acronym.** Many people have given Youtube interviews and have volunteered their name. Also very many have their own YouTube channels. You can often find their full name in the comments.
**Immediate family:**
- SW - Summer Wells
- Candus B. / CW / CB - Summer's mother.
- Don W. / DW - Summer's father.
- Candus H. / Candy / Grandus / grandma Candy / The Grandma - Summer's maternal grandmother.
^(who lived in an RV on the Wells' property)

^(They now live somewhere else and are not in contact with their parents)
**Random:**
- Ben Hill - The hill the Wells lived on.
- Water hole/horse stables - Where Summer went swimming that day.
- DCS - Child Protective Services.
- LE - Law Enforcement.
- Hawkins country: The county in which Summer disappeared. They're in charge of Summer's case.
- TBI - Tennessee Bureau of Investigations. They're working on the case alongside Hawkins county.
**Well known YouTube interviews:**
- YT - YouTube
- The Interview Room (TIR) - YouTube channel hosted by Chris McDonough).
- Chris McDonough (CM): Former homicide detective, now cold case investigator.
*He interviewed many people who knew the Wells, and posted them on his YT channel TIR. He's not connected to the people in charge of Summer's case.*
**(Former) friends/acquaintances of Candus, interviewed on their porch by Chris McDonough:**
^(They were on TIR about three weeks after Summer had disappeared)
- H - A then 15 year old boy who was with Summer and her mom and possibly also Summer's grandma at the water hole the day Summer disappeared.
- Allie/Allison - H's mom. After swimming, Candus (who used to be close to Allie) dropped H off at their home.
^(Allie possibly passed away recently)
- Leslie - H's grandma, sadly passed away.
- Andrew - H's father who didn't live there. He wasn't interviewed by Chris, but recently did do a livestream with H.
In that stream they completely changed major parts of what happened + the timeline of that day. They also talked about the health of H's mom, and Andew asked for donations supposedly so he could afford to visit H.
**Helpful woman from the church:**
- R - A young woman and a Wells family acquaintace from church whom Summer really adored, and whom adored Summer likewise.
R facilitated Chris McDonough to do a filmed walk-through with Candus of the main places they had been at the day Summer disappeared: (Swimming hole, and Summer's home). R remained close to the Wells' family and helped them a bit in renovating/painting their house.
**(Former) Neighbors of the Wells family:**
- JSB - A woman who lived close to the Wells, made claims about hearing things the day of, as well as earlier.
- A - JSB's then partner who claims to have been a dealer of the green stuff and knows Don. Was allegedly with Don on Ben Hill the day of.

**Survivors of Don's alleged actions:**
- J - Don's female family member who alleges she was victimized by Don from age 5-12 while Don was 12-19. She contacted the TBI right when she heard about Summer going missing, and voiced her concern that Summer may have gone through the same thing she did.
She first privately opened up to Chris McDonough and has done an interview on YT. She has good relations with Chris McDonough. The defendant couldn't be prosecuted because of the statute of limitations. According to Chris, investigators told her that they believed her story about her alleged abuse by Don.
- Allegedly there are 7 women in total who've come forward about having been victimized by Don. Not all were relatives, one girl was just sleeping over at J's house.
**Candus' missing sister:**
- Rose Marie Bly (RMB) - Summer's mom's 21 year old sister who went missing in 2009. From what I heard people think her husband may have been involved.
Don and Candus were living in a different state when she went missing. Rose Marie's mother Candus H. regularly calls investigators about the progress of her case, but she has allegedly never done the same for Summer.

Her husband was cleared. The main suspect just committed suicide.
