Mystery as the entire family, including two children aged 7 and 10, disappears

NORTH CAROLINA Police are asking for the public’s help in locating a missing woman and her two children who have been missing for several days.

The Pender County Sheriff’s Office is looking for Melinda Sue Hull, 23, and her children Gavin, 10, and Gracie, 7.

They were last spotted in Rocky Point by family members on Tuesday.

According to Pender County Police, Melinda stands about 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighs about 180 pounds.

Authorities are asking anyone with information about her whereabouts to contact Detective Sergeant Lobel at the Pender County Sheriff’s Office at 910-259-1515.

The news comes as the devastated parents of the missing Summer Wells have posted a tribute to their beloved little girl as her seventh birthday approaches this weekend.

The search for Summer, who was only five years old when she disappeared, continues, but after more than 19 months of sheer torment for the family, she has still not been sighted.

Father Don has just been released from prison after being arrested for intoxication on October 30 while mother Candus is being treated for a heart condition.

And her pain only increased after her three sons were taken into care six weeks after Summers disappeared from the family home in tiny Hawkins County.
