Tennessee manhunt: Suspect researched teen marriage, officials say

Another Jesus fucker preying on the innocent....

According to CNN, Cummins was in a band called “Cry For Holiness!” Its website says it consists of “5 Dads that God brought together as one collective vessel to use the musical talents He gave us to glorify His precious name and reconcile His children to Him! Our one desire is to go where He sends us and lift up His glorious name.”




(CNN)A Tennessee teacher who authorities believe abducted a student had conducted research on teen marriage, authorities told HLN on Tuesday night.

"That is an issue that we have some major concerns of because it might potentially speak to his intentions for her," Tennessee Bureau of Investigation spokesman Josh DeVine said of Tad Cummins. The spokesman said he could not get into specifics.
Officials also are trying to authenticate a statement made by the student's family, DeVine said.
Elizabeth Thomas had said she was going away for the day but that someone should call police if she wasn't home by evening, a relative told HLN earlier.

A married teacher who is accused of taking a Tennessee high school freshman on the run described himself as a “warrior-poet” and “Jesus freak” on social media.

Tad Cummins, 50, allegedly researched teen marriage before vanishing with Elizabeth Thomas, 15.

Police are accusing Cummins, a now fired teacher from Culleoka Unit School in Maury County, Tennessee, of grooming Thomas for sexual abuse before the pair disappeared. On social media, the disgraced teacher wrote about teaching and being in love.

According to ABC 7 Chicago, the teacher was recently accused of having sexual contact with Thomas before the pair disappeared.

Thomas’ sister Sarah Thomas “said she heard Cummins tell stories with other students about being in the FBI, CIA and Secret Service” and called him a “weirdo,” <a href="http://www.wsmv.com/story/34968081/sister-of-amber-alert-victim-says-bullying-was-an-issue
