New revelations about runaway Tennessee teacher Tad Cummins · Crime Stories with Nancy Grace

• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Anthony Thomas hasn't seen his daughter Elizabeth for a week
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: at Lee says she could be anywhere. Confesstigators say that
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: she is with Tad Cummins. Tb I said that Cummins
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: was a teacher. A student reported seeing Cummins kissing Elizabeth
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: in his classroom in late January. She's fifteen, he's fifty.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: This is Crime Stories with Nancy Grace. He stold my
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: daughter from me. We really need the public to realize
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: that this young girl is in danger. I had no
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: idea and my husband was involved with anything that has
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: led to Olivia. Investigators are now going on the theory
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: that Cummins has taken Elizabeth either to an area outside
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: the public or outside the Southeast. They're missing. They could
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: be anywhere. If you see that, don't approach them. Commins.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Maybe on the plot thickens. We are are learning more
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: and more about the pervy teacher Tad Cummins who kidnaps
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: his student, a gorgeous young girl, a young girl, Elizabeth Thomas.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Now we're learning so much more about his premeditation and
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: was there a cover up that allowed him to stay
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: in the classroom instead of getting booted from his job.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: As he should have been back on January three, when
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: it was reported he was smooching the student in the classroom.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: And as of right now, Elizabeth Thomas, the little girl,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: is still missing and believed to be with her teacher,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Tad Cummings, who is armed with at least two handguns.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: This is crime stories. I Nancy Grace, I want to
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: thank you for being with us. As the net is
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: cast further hours ticked by and no sign of Elizabeth Thomas,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: many fear, including me, this could turn out to be
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: a Romeo Julie Yet scenario where both of them end
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: up dead in the end rather than being caught. Another
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: fact that has come out in the last hours is
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: that we learn, according to her own family, Elizabeth Thomas
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: told her siblings, if I'm not home by six o'clock tonight,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: called police. That really casts a nefarious shadow on all
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: of this. It's been portrayed that she wanted to go willingly,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: but to be telling her siblings if I'm not home
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: by six o'clock tonight, called police. That's a new wrinkle.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: But first, I want to talk about hair dye. According
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: to some news outlets, and you can see it for
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Pete's sake. What this guy has in his Walmart shopping
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: cart is Ladies hair dye Claire all nice and easy brunette.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: And we know that Elizabeth is blonde. It's really hard
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: for me to believe what the t v I is
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: saying on this that it has nothing to do with
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: a kidnap. That's just really hard for me to believe. Alan.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: In fact, I have a goatee and I die mine
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: with Claire. All do I need to know? That? Is
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: that something I need to know? I'm an old man
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: and I've got to keep my youthful beauty up. What
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: we do see at Walmart in this Yes, beauty has
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: a price, Okay, it does. Good looks don't come free, dear. Okay,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: so tell me about you know those are. That's why
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: they call them beauty secrets. Allan beauty secrets. You're not
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: supposed to blab him on a podcast. Okay, So you
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: keep your nice and easy to yourself. Let's get back
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: to Tad Cummins. Okay, so he's buying, actually buying hair dye. Now.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: The Tennessee Bureau Investor of Investigation has tweeted about this,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: confirming that yes, he did purchase hair dyet Walmart just
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: before the kidnapping. But quote, we have determined the purchase
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: of hair dye by Tad Cummins was not part of
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: his intended plan for Elizabeth Thomas. Maybe he's not dying
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: his his goatee. If I were him, I would just
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: shave it. It's kind of scraggly anyway. Well, I was
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: thinking it was about her for her to die her here.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: But you know what, I've already stated that I think
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: they've altered their looks. He may have shaved his beard.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: She may have cut her here and died it red
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: for all I know, or used as clear all nice
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: and easy. You know, in criminal law, there is no coincidence.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: And I find it very coincidental that he goes and
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: by his ladies here and die and then next thing
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: you know, he has kidnapped Elizabeth Thomas. Another thing that
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: has happened is that we believe there may have been
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: a cover up within the school system, because Alan has
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: uncovered that Tad cummins wife is an executive assistant with
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: the school board. And here you've got a teacher smooching
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: on a little girl in class, and they don't kick
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: his rear end out on the sidewalk for Pete's sake,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: No they don't. Timeline is really suspicious and Elizabeth Thomas's
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: dad is very upset about it. But we find out
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: that Jill Cummins, according to her own Twitter account, is
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Marie County School's administrative assistant to the Department of Instruction.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: In other words, the person who supervised and would have
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: fired her husband and eventually did, but like six weeks later,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: she is his assistant after he kidnapped the girl. It
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: was only a day after the kidnapping that this teacher
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: was even fired. Now, he had been suspended a month
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: earlier from the classroom, but he hadn't been fired. Wait
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: a minute, suspended from the classroom. I thought he was
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: still teaching, but she wasn't in his class anymore. He
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: was suspended. He was suspended on February the sixth, but
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: that was only after the lawyer for the dad, Anthony Thomas,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: sent a scathing letter threatening a lawsuit against the school
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: system if they didn't get some action. And it was
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: only after that letter was sent to the school board
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: that he was actually suspended and taken out of the classroom.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Thank you today to our awesome sponsor the upcoming Crime
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: con It's a national convention for crime sleuth amateur and professional.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: It will be held June nine, Friday to Junie leven Sunday,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: two thousand and seventeen in Indianapolis at the j W. Marriott.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: You can go on Crime Online and find out about it.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: I'm going to be there, The Duke, Alan Duke and
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: I will be there podcasting live. I really hope to
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: see you there, all sorts of criminal experts speaking and
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: shedding a light on the world of crime. I am
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: really looking forward to. My only question, am I bringing
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: the Twins crime con Thank you for being with us
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: today and making this podcast possible. Have you seen the
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: picture that has emerged of her in an office with
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: this purv Well, at least he wasn't. She wasn't sitting
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: in his lap. I mean she was on the other
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: side of the desk. It doesn't look anything anything strange.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: There's a student, they're sitting on the other side of
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: the desk talking to the teacher. What's unusual about that
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: other than the fact that he kidnapped her a couple
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: of days later and it's probably out in some cheap
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: motel having sex with her other than that. Nothing. But
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: you know, back to the cover up, the alleged cover up.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Here you've got Tad Cummin's wife working as the executive
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: assistant to a member of the school board. The head
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: of the school board, I think, Department of Instruction, Thank you,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Department of Instruction, the number two person in the school system.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: What another co inkie dink that he doesn't get suspended
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: or fired the minute it comes out that there's a
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: witness placing them smooching in the in the classroom. And
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: it doesn't end there because according to the father and
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: his lawyer, there's the smooching incident that is witnessed and
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: reported immediately by the student. They deny it. The teacher,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Tad comings in the student, Elizabeth Thomas, deny it. I
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: think they take the girl out of his classroom. But
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: then when the father finds out about it, when cops
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: show up to investigate and ask him about it, you know,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: weeks later, he looks at her cell phone and the
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: teacher is still communicating with her, and he is still
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: teaching at that time, and the dad goes ballistic because
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: this teacher is not doing what he's supposed to be doing.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: He's still texting her and emailing her in a seductive manner,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: and that is not okay. But his wife is wormed
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: in in the school board. Now do we know there
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: was a cover up? No, we don't, but it's highly coincidentally,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: the father said, what does the father say? Just today,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: the father is speaking out. He has released a series
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: of nine tweets that he has posted today, really complaining
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: about this because yesterday what happened was well saying what
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: what does he say? He's complaining that the Maury County
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: School System is lying about the timeline. He says that
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: they released a story saying that they sent him files
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: and they're finding per his request by his attorney, he
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: says that's not true. They sent me zero. The school
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: says they sent me information. To be clear, I've never
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: received anything from Elizabeth School regarding this incident. To date,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: no employee from Elizabeth School has communicated with me in
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: any way. The school's not even communicated with me to
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: let me know there was an allegation of inappropriate contact
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: between her and a teacher. Once I hired the attorney,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: the Mari County School Central Office has sent my attorney
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: what appears to be the person personnel file for Tad
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Cummins the school Central. Wait wait, wait, wait, I gotta
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: cut through all the legal jargon here. You're not even
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: a lawyer for Pete' psych and you sound like when
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: it's scary. I'm reading his tweets. These are his tweets,
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: all right now that he says, well, I gotta get
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: to something more important than the tweets. Okay, listen, listen,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: what what? What? Hold it? But you're making me hit
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: the hard stuff. I am currently having an Irish breakfast
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: tea double bag. Okay, alright, double bag. That's a lot
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: for me. Now hold on, there's something more. Allegedly, in
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: the days before this little girl was kidnapped, Commins searched
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: online to see if police could track his car, his
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Niecean Rogue. I think it was a two thousand and fifteen,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: So the t b I says they've discovered, of course,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: his troubling pattern of behavior. Prior to his disappearance. He
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: searched online to find out if police could track his
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: Niecean Rogue, and he also searched the topic of teen marriage.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, let's talk about how you track a Nissan
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Rowe or any late model car. Go ahead, hit me.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: Modern cars and this is are equipped with all kinds
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: of computer devices that communicate back to the car companies
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: that have all kinds of data that is stored in
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: computer servers that the car company's own. It's part of
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: the maintenance program in everything. These are smart cars. Just
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: like your phone can be tracked, many of the modern
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: cars can be tracked. And in fact, the tv I
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: was asked the other day, are you tracking his phone
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: or his car? And they said, we're not going to
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: tell you, but we're doing everything that is possible. So
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: if you're driving a car, it's very possible that some
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: computers someplace is pinging your car and knows where you are. Now,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: here's the deal on the team marriage. In the US,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: all but one state requires a couple b eighteen in
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: order to marry without parental permission. Nebraska sets the age
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: at nineteen. Now here's the catch. Some states will waive
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: the requirement if there is a pregnancy, And if there
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: is a pregnancy, the couple might still have to go
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: to have court approval. But everybody, unless you're living in
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: a cave under a rock, knows that Tad Cummins has
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: made off with this little girl. So if he tries
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: to get court approval, that ain't happening. All right, that's
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: a technical legal term, alan, so you can add that
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: to your legal repertoire. But Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland,
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma allow pregnant teens or teens who've already had a
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: child to get married without per mental consent. In Florida, Kentucky,
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: and Oklahoma, they have to have authorization from a court.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Maryland requires the minor b at least sixteen. Now catch
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: this repeat. Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, and Oklahoma allow
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: pregnant teens or teens who have already had a child
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: to get married without parental consent. So if they go
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: to get married and say that she's pregnant or if
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: she is pregnant, they can get married. What about that, Well,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: there is the complication that he's already married. But who
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: forgot about that? They would That wouldn't really stop them,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: That wouldn't stop him. They could still get a marriage
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: license because another state of a public court judge or whoever,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: would not know. Yeah, there's that little complication of the
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: wife who just made a public appeal for them to
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: come home. You know, I noticed that one of her
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: friends also has been begging for her to come come
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: back to get away. And this friend, Thomas's best friend,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Ashley Riggins, pleads publicly for Elizabeth to get quote get
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: away from Cummings if possible. Quote. I know you may
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: love him and think he's perfect, but he's not. I
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: love you, and there's so many people here who need
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: you and want you back. I mean, you know, she's
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: just a little girl. She is just a little girl.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: I want to go back to tracking the Nissan that's
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: in practically every newer car, and his is a two
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: thousand fifteen. Right, Yes, these are smart cars. They've got computers.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Many many cars now have GPS of course built into them,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: and they also have WiFi and all of that, and
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: they're connected. Cummins claims that he is a black belt
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: in karate. Investigators say he's armed with at least two handguns.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: The TB I now admitting that despite more than six
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: hundred leads, they have no idea where these two are.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: So let's talk about what we think. Let's project. Let's
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: hypothesize going sixty miles an hour and stopping overnight. I
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: bet they're I bet they're driving at night and sleeping
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: during the day. I bet you anything to go under
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: the radar. Well, by now, they could be anywhere they
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: could be and and living off cash. But what's your
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: best bit. I'm thinking he went far far away, you know.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: Early I was thinking maybe the Gulf coast of Florida,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: that kind of thing, because of spring break. But this man, apparently,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: from what we're now seeing, had a long term plan.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: I mean he was talking, he was planning marriage, and
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: he was gathering up cash. I'm thinking a long, long
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: way three days. He could be in the mountains of
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: northwest Washington state or something like. You know what I'm
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: thinking he might do. I'm thinking he may go out
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: to the Utah area, where an older man married or
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: seemingly married to a young girl would not be questioned. Well,
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: there are a lot of places to hide in this big,
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: beautiful country. There really are. But I think at this
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: juncture they would have to basically assume new identities, don't
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: you think, Oh, absolutely absolutely, and new looks new identities
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: and she has to go along with it. But we
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: all know from many cases that you have closely covered,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: and so have I that these young ladies can disappear
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: with these men for many years. For anyone that has
• 16:14

  Speaker 1: and they only charged me six dollars for my latte.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: I don't think I would be telling that I go
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: to Starbucks. Have you tried the McDonald's coffee, Alan, pretously,
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: it is so good. I always get a large regular
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: with two two creams in it. That's my guilty vice,
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: the two creams. As a search for Elizabeth Thomas goes on,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: we are watching it and investigating it ourselves. Prayers out
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: for Elizabeth now and for her family and her safe return.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: As we sign off today, crime online is confirming some
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: very sad knees. We focused Alan and I for some
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: time on a missing woman, Maricella, and we have learned
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: that Maricella Garcia, the young woman we were looking for,
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: she was last seeing by her sister leaving a local
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: good Will store. She had been looking for an outfit
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: for a decades party, and she has just been found dead.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: Tanya Kitchens, the private detective who's helped the Garcia family
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: since the twenty six year old Tarzana woman disappeared in January,
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: tells me today that a body found in the Santa
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: Clarita area north of Los Angeles two weeks ago has
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: been identified as being Maricella Garcia. Maricella was found about
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: twenty five miles north of the good Will store in Recita, California,
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: where she disappeared. Unfortunately, many of the clues that we
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: uncovered in our last podcast about this case in February,
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: apparently we're right on point. Our prayers and thoughts with
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: Marcella's family tonight. This is not the ending that we
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: wanted for this story, but it's the ending that we have,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: and it makes me want even more to find missing
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: people before it's too late. Nancy Gray signing off goodbye friend,
