Given that Summer has been stated to be presumed dead this can lead to some interesting plot points. In College I am studying criminal justice and we learned that in a case of presumed death there is reason to believe that the person is dead, but nothing concrete. So from what has been said in the show I would give it a 50/50 chance of her being alive or dead. If dead they could have it be something interesting like she went on a mission for Oz that was highly important or that Salem believed her to be a potential threat and had her killed off while she was on a mission. this could prove her death in that Salem or someone admits that they killed Summer and the reason for doing it. maybe she learned something Salem couldn't let Ozpin find out about. if alive she could be being held prisoner, in hiding or trapped somewhere and unable to leave. one idea I like and find plausible if she were alive is when Ruby asks about the magical artifact that was under Beacon Oz says that he took care of it, now since Cinder had become a maiden it should have been as simple as unlocking the door so the next most likely answer is that it wasn't there. Now we know Ozpins group have been interacting with maidens in the past (No I do not think Summer is a maiden) and Ozpin appeared to be unsurprised about the attack on Vale so he may have been expecting it for a good while. So he could have had a maiden unlock the vault and gave the artifact to Summer and have her take it to a secondary safe location and have her guard it. Like I said this is speculation and the chances of her being alive are 50/50, still I'd like to see what others think.
