Tad Cummins had a way of tricking people a lot more sophisticated than 15-year-old Elizabeth Thomas, the former student he’s accused of kidnapping.
The 50-year-old fugitive and former Culleoka Unit School teacher fooled his wife, Jill, into believing him when he was accused of kissing Thomas in his classroom. And his two children believed him as he quoted words from the Bible, raising them with his wife of 31 years in Columbia.

I worked with a gal whose husband was a middle school teacher. She was in denial pretty much the last few years they were married. Turns out he had gotten one of the school secretaries pregnant and then he started in on the young girl students.
When the school district caught him they placed him on administrative leave and turned the matter over to the County Sheriff’s office. So every morning for about 2 weeks he would tell his wife that he was sick and wasn’t going to work. On the day the cops showed up to arrest him he killed himself inside their home.
