We consider her dead for expediency, she is the very first person who the story insinuated strongly was dead, so she's dead. It's not some vast conspiracy.

We've seen Salem's home numerous times with no mention of a prisoner was there, much less an SEW one, so she is unlikely to be in captivity, indeed everything we have on her background indicates if she could be there for her daughter, she would be... Raven already fulfills the "left the kid for.. reasons" tropes so honestly the best case scenario for the narrative is if Summer is dead or not "alive" in the conventional sense(soul or body having transformed somehow). Anything else is just retreading old ground which makes it irrelevant as a plot device.
