FULL TITLE: Abducted student, 15, was forced to hide from teacher, 50, after he began showing up to her work unannounced reveals her tearful sister in emotional family interview

The family of a 15-year-old Tennessee high school student who was last seen on March 13 shared shocking new claims about the girl's relationship with her teacher in an emotional interview with Good Morning America.

The sister of Elizabeth Thomas fought back tears as she revealed that Tad Cummins, 50, had begun showing up unannounced at her sister's work shortly before the pair disappeared together, and that his last visit had come just two days before the girl's abduction.

'She would go and tell people to tell him she wasn't there and she would go and hide until he left,' explained Sarah Thomas.

'She thought it was the only way. She felt uncomfortable.'

This latest news about the relationship between the pair comes shortly after investigators learned that the two had been sending love letters to one another which were at times sexually charged by writing draft emails on a shared classroom computer at Culleoka School.

Meanwhile, Cummins' wife Jill spoke with NBC News on Monday and urged her husband to turn himself in, saying: 'You know you can't hide forever. For your sake and for Beth's sake, please go to the police or please just drop Beth off somewhere safe.'

She also said 'nobody understands the pain and shock I am in now.'

****Abducted student, 15, was forced to hide from teacher, 50, after he began showing up to her work unannounced..****

It may have been embarrassment rather than fear - she didn’t want anyone to know about their ‘relationship’. Strange that she added ‘wife’ and a ring emoji to her facebook I.D.

Her immaturity probably fluctuated between fear of discovery and flattery that her ‘teacher’ said he loved her.

Poor confused, abused child.

I loaded trucks for North American Ban Lines when I was 14. At 15 She was probably at grocery store or restaurant.

This story is strange. She was afraid of him....yet they sent love letters to each other?


Perverts are known to groom their victims, and play mind games with them. That could well be a factor here, that she felt afraid but also felt in love? Perhaps because of sexual involvement, she’s not thinking the way you and I would about this sort of situation???

I picked cotton at age 11. I actually did it and chopped cotton younger than that but didn’t get paid.

At 14 I worked 7 days a week during the summer at a swimming pool for $5 a week.

And I walked 8 miles to school... Up hill in both directions.

Doesn’t it say that it was on a shared computer at school? Is it possible he wrote letters to himself pretending to be her and using her account? I have a relative who has several Facebook accounts, and posts messages to herself from the “other “ person. It reminds me of that Jackie girl from the fake UVa rape article that Rolling Stone put out. There was no other guy, just a figment of her imagination. My mentally ill relative needs help, but I don’t think she’s getting any. Maybe this pervert teacher was doing the same this with this girl.

I worked in the summer when I was 14. 32 hours a week on the CETA program. I’m from Tennessee, too.

Stockholm Syndrome.

It’s real. I’ve seen it. It’s hard to believe unless you see it.

Maybe there were problems at home, but it could happen just as easily with a perfectly normal and stable home life.

First job, age 15, delivering newspapers. Also got my first paying gig (22 years as a professional musician) at 15.

At 16 I was working in Funeral Service. Everybody else was working at Del Taco, I was wearing a suit and driving a Lincoln Town Car.

Elizabeth's mother spoke to DailyMail.com last week in an exclusive interview to share her fears.

She labeled her daughter's captor 'disturbed' and said she worried Elizabeth would either end up pregnant or dead.

Did the newspaper really need to print this? Pregnant or dead? It's Tennessee... Half the 15 year old girls living there are likely pregnant... One more isn't going to hurt so if we have a choice... Let's go with barefoot and pregnant. Not dead.

Me, too. Got my work permit at 14 to pick berries and grapes for a local farmer. (Is that a job that “Americans won’t do”?)

And where is the dad in all this? My dad would have strangled him with his bare hands by now.
Daddy-less?

Wendy’s? McDonalds? Burger King? - It would be difficult
to hide in a babysitting job.

This jackass has a total control issue.

Lots of places. Is there something wrong with that, in your opinion?
