THE parents of missing girl Summer Wells released a heart-wrenching video on her sixth birthday as cops continue to investigate her mysterious disappearance.

Summer's family shared the video on YouTube, along with an official statement, on February 4 at midnight to mark her birthday, which comes seven months after she vanished.

"This is a tender day to us," her parents said in a statement to The Sun. "We miss our Summer with all our hearts.

"Thank You Everyone for helping us restore our Family and find our Daughter Summer Moon-Utah Wells."

The video features photos of other missing children in the United States, along with the audio of someone reciting a long prayer.

"Every family is missing them and longing for them," the prayer plays.

"Thank you for the heartbeat behind every person that's out here giving their time to try to bring these children home."

Members of the Wells family are then seen releasing purple balloons into the sky.

The video ends with a close-up of an illustration of the Wells family.

The top of the illustration reads: "Dear Father God, Please Rescue, Redeem ad Restore."

The video release on Friday comes weeks after the Wells family shared photos of what Summer might look like in disguise as the search for their missing daughter continues.

News of the pictures comes as:

• Parents think she could be in disguise as they release pics 
• Sleuths spot strange video posted a day before summer vanished
• Massive search underway for missing 5-year-old in Tennessee
• Summer Wells’ dad says her mom ‘made the wrong friends
• Summer’s neighbors ‘heard a scream’ before she disappeared 

The edited photos of Summer with different hairstyles and colors were featured in a December 6 YouTube video titled "Could Summer Be Disguised."

The video begins with a short clip of Summer then progresses to still images of her with 18 different haircuts.

The caption reads, "If someone is disguising Summer, this is how she might look."

The video was posted on the Find Summer Wells website and encouraged the public to be on the lookout for the young girl's smile.

The video of Summer's "possible disguises" was posted the same week internet sleuths unsurfaced another video that some regard as strange.

The video shows the girl dancing in front of a barrel that reads "for sale" shortly before she disappeared.

Hundreds on social media who watched the TikTok video said they agreed with the poster, Jenna Lynn, in thinking Summer may have been "sold."

Others thought the barrel looked like it had been in the front yard for some time and was likely an advertisement for items the family was selling.

The video of Summer's "possible disguises" had wracked up more than 12,000 views two days after it was posted.

Summer was last seen on June 15, 2021, outside of her family's Rogersville, Tennessee, home in Hawkins County's Beach Creek Community.

Her mother, Candus Bly, said Summer went to the basement to play with toys after planting flowers in the front yard with her grandmother and Bly.

When Bly went to check on her daughter later that evening, she said she found the basement empty and the door to it unlocked.

Her family says the girl disappeared into the basement of the home and has not been seen or heard from since.

She was reportedly wearing grey pants and a pink shirt with no shoes at the time of her disappearance.

Investigators say she is three feet tall, weighs 40 pounds, and has blonde hair and blue eyes.

An Amber Alert was issued on Wednesday, June 16 for the missing girl.

Anyone with information about Summer's location is urged to call 1-800-TBI-FIND.
