Details emerged on May 12 regarding Tad Cummins’ escape plan with a 15-year-old girl that he’s accused of abducting. Prosecutors allege he hatched the detailed plan and threw his wife off with a fake note that claimed he was simply leaving for a few days to “clear his head.”
Cummins’ letter to his 49-year-old soon to be ex-wife, Jill Cummins, was presented in court as evidence that he was a flight risk and shouldn’t be granted bail. Court records indicate that a judge agreed with prosecutors and ordered the former teacher to remain in custody while awaiting trial.
The letter was allegedly created to buy Tad Cummins a few days to escape without police interference. In the letter, he wrote to his wife that he was “sorry” and needed to go clear his head. Apparently, Tad Cummins was referring to his administrative suspension from his teaching position at Culleoka Unit School, where he taught health sciences.
Tad Cummins was suspended pending an investigation into allegations that he was having an inappropriate relationship with Elizabeth Thomas, 15. Jill Cummins, thinking he simply needed time to think about his work issues, didn’t initially call the police when she saw the letter.

30 days. Over-under on the number of days before he gets jailhouse justice.
Let’s hope not.
People don’t just fall into this kind of situation.
You mean someone will kill him in jail?
... or maybe just beat him to within an inch of his life.
I’m in Maury County and due for jury duty again in the fall
or somewhere thereabouts. (Last time I served in Maury, I
was already 68 yrs. old. Surely they’ll take me off the list
for the jury pool. I’m getting old; but I’ll do it if they
call me up. It was a strain last time; but also interesting.
He’s innocent UNTIL & UNLESS proven guilty; then I’d have no
problem voting guilty for what he’s allegedly pulled. My
husband worked for the Federal Court and that got me out of
serving on one case. It kept me tied up for 3 months or so;
but that’s OK. - People don’t really want to serve much; but
I will if they keep calling. The judge will have to sentence
him. - The child won’t be tried for his crimes.
The state charges might be weak.
The federal charge(s) will keep him locked up for sometime.
My ancestors lived in Maury County after the War for Independence.
