Dude, they never said Summer "went missing." Yang said that Summer went out on a mission and never came back, which can still mean "Summer left for a mission, and she was killed during that mission." It just sounds more dramatic and less clunky.

Also, the masked samurai has feathery hair. You know who else has feathery hair? Transient Princess. That is the artwork that Monty used as a placeholder for the photo that Yang showed Junior of her mother in the Yellow Trailer.

The samurai. is. Yang's. real. mother.

And to the second anon, Yang's mother could've pulled a Hohenheim (Full Metal Alchemist, the manga and the Brotherhood anime). Pardon the spoilers, but: Hohenheim discovered something horrible that the main antagonist was brewing up, knew he had to stop him, felt it would be too difficult to explain it to his family, and was afraid to say goodbye to them. He left without a single goodbye or explanation and traveled Amestris.

So, for all we know, Yang's mother could've done something similar. She could have needed to leave, no matter how much it hurt her to leave behind the child she just birthed and her lover.
