A MISSING five-year-old's mom stormed out of a Dr. Phil "interrogation" as she cried over crime gang questions.

Summer Moon-Utah Wells' parents, Candus and Don Wells, were seen on a Thursday episode of Dr. Phil being questioned over their daughter's mysterious June 15 disappearance.

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

As Summer's mom and dad were interviewed by behavior analysts and body language experts Scott Rouse and Greg Hartley, Candus broke down in tears when she asked about organized crime in their area.

Rouse and Hartley were attempting to decipher whether the pair could be lying about their daughter's disappearance.

Their tears-inducing question suggested Summer may have been kidnapped by the "cornbread mafia," a colloquial term that refers to a grassroots, organized crime ring.

While her husband attempted to answer the question, insisting he's heard of gang activity in their neighborhood, Candus turned to him and said: "Get these wires off of me."

Don reacted by patting her on the back and saying "these are tough questions," but Candus said: "No, I'm being interrogated again and I don't want to do this."

Candus struggled to take off her microphone and revealed she "wanted out" and to "go home."

It was then she got up and left the room as her husband remained sitting.

Rouse described her actions as "insulating and running."

"She insulates when she starts crying so we can't get to her. In other words, psychologically we can't speak to her and we see the emotion as soon as I say cornbread mafia," Rouse continued.

"There as we see that mouth starts dragging down within seconds and that's how long it takes to get into the brain … and say 'hey, this isn't good.'"

Hartley explained to Dr. Phil that Candus "starts to, even before she leaves the scene," by making herself "unavailable."

"She's already escaped," Hartley said, referring to her body language. "It's just a matter of getting out of that wire."

The expert also noted that Don had completely different body language and was "trusting" the questioning process.

Rouse and Hatley pointed out that before Candus took off her microphone her chin immediately dropped down.

"When you ask them a question and they feel they're being threatened, you'll see their chin drop. It protects the neck," Rouse said.

Prior to Candus storming out, she responded to a question about what she thinks should happen to the person that "took" her daughter

Before speaking, Candus was seen closing her eyes and pausing, which the experts called a classic example of "blocking or escaping."

She then mumbled, after taking a deep breath, saying "they should be put away for the rest of their lives. I mean, they should be tormented I think."

Characterizing Candus' behavior, Rouse said: "There's a lot going on here. She's not sure what she should say. Everything she's going says 'I'm unsure and shouldn't be saying this.'"

At the time of Summer's disappearance, her parents claim she had been in the front yard planting flowers with her mom and grandmother when she disappeared back inside the home to play with her toys at around 6.30pm. She was never seen again.

Don, who was at work at the time, and his wife have long maintained that his daughter was abducted by an unknown perpetrator, but so far no evidence has surfaced to support the theory.

The parents have been accused across social media of being involved in Summer's vanishing, even receiving death threats. They have vehemently denied those claims.
