Teen Abducted By Teacher Is Acting Like Different Person; Family At A Loss

Social Media Posts about Being in Love

The pair expressed their love on social media. Around the time that Elizabeth was kidnapped, she referred to herself as a “wife” on Instagram and posted a photo from Beauty and the Beast with the quote, “Every beauty needs her beast to protect her from everything but him.” In a separate post, she put up a quote reading, “I look forward to going to school just to see you.”

Cummins also posted love-related sayings and notes on his Instagram page. Around the time the pair vanished, he wrote, “Good morning all! This is going to be an amazing day! Let’s do this! #strong #unbreakable #love.”

Cummins’ Wife Was Fond of the Teen

Cummins also had a Twitter page and described himself as “Jesus freak/child of The King, husband, father, grandfather, high-school teacher, clinician, drummer, audio tech, jeep owner, singer/songwriter, warrior-poet.” When he disappeared with Elizabeth he left behind his wife Jill, who he married in 1985.

Cummins’ Facebook page was filled with photos of his wife and his family. Jill told Inside Edition that she had met Elizabeth on several occasions and she and Tad helped the teen get through a difficult time. She felt quite close to Elizabeth and treated her like a daughter. But she was a little worried about the duo’s growing friendship.
