September 19, 2018
The teenager taken by her teacher on a wild cross-country run from the law last year said she was "scared" of what happened. “I was scared. I don't want to tell my parents that a grown man kissed me. I don't want to tell friends that a grown man kissed me,” Elizabeth Thomas told ABC’s “20/20.” In the “20/20” interview airing Friday, she recounted for the first time the twisted advances made by her high school teacher Tad Cummins. “Next thing I know, he said, ‘You'd look pretty nice naked,’” she claimed.
