I'm glad JC is getting out dressed nice walking her dog. She should thank her lucky stars she got rid of this dirt bag while she's still young. I bet he was a horrible husband. It may be hard now but time heals. She has a good supportive family. She will become so strong.

I think the guy who gave him $40 also put $15 in the gas tank.
They let us go two-by-two to speak to her and stand at a distance at first because shed been through a lot, the father said, adding, I had to keep looking to make sure it was her.
It was more important to have her back. I was so overwhelmed. Later on, when I hugged her, I just went into tears. She put her hand over my shoulder and patted my back and said, Its okay, he recalled.
Thomas said she has lost a lot of weight. He also noted that shes a bit more edgy. She used to be more outgoing, much more exuberant, and now she cant really take a lot of stimulus right now, he explained.
The father said hes been able to see her several times since then, saying shes relaxing little by little but you can still tell shes very sensitive to too much going on."
Its going to be that way for a while probably from what shes been through, he said, noting that shell be getting counseling.
He said theyre going to give her space and try to keep things very calm for her, make sure she has what she needs to adjust to life back home.
Thomas also said they havent spoken about her experiences while she was gone, saying, We havent gotten to that yet.

I don't believe so, but I'd love to know. I wouldn't be surprised if they had no gas left. I think he was stuck and completely out of options. (JMO.) Thank goodness she was found when she was.
I'm definitely not understanding this. I'm also confused as to how and why they ended up way up in the remote mountains in California if the plan was to go to Mexico. It almost sounds as though the plan got screwed up around the time they hit Decatur, and he just came up with a new plan on the fly.
Kat and Mr. Thomas are doing a great job on Primetime Justice tonight.
Kat, I am so impressed by your intelligence, your advocacy for your sister, your ability to express yourself, and your kindness when speaking about JC and her family.
Why is this suddenly a $1,000 reward instead of the original $10,000? Or are they two different rewards?

I think it was necessary. The ED pills prove what his intentions were and it was NOT to have Sunday school lessons with her.Them mentioning his e.d pill refills is very embarrassing on the victims behalf. They could have left that part out until trial. Jmo.
I estimated an average of $75 and allowed for several days of camping.
According to my precise calculations :laughing: he really blew through that $4500. Either they spent a bunch of money on lodging, or they didn't eat at Chez McDonalds very often.
He had 5 weeks to plan but could not stretch a dollar.
I'd imagine the last 48 hours to be the most traumatic..... They were 'stationed' in a cabin with no one close by. Much different environment that hotels, car rides, and even the commune, where there were at least other people nearby, which may have given a sense of security. But in the cabin it was just them.....imo

Give it some time, there is more to his past that has yet to come out. He has been just been lucky so far, but I have a sneaking suspicion we will find out he was never the pillar of society he led everyone to believe. This is my opinion.http://wkrn.com/2017/04/24/documents-reveal-tad-cummins-planned-to-go-to-mexico-with-teen/
Cummins court-appointed attorney, Benajmin Galloway, released the following statement after the judges decision was handed down:
It is important to note that these allegations do not involve force, threats or coercion of any sort. As authorities in Tennessee acknowledge, the alleged victim left of her own free will. This was not an abduction or kidnapping as has been suggested. Mr. Cummins has no history of violence and no criminal history whatsoever. He surrendered without incident and has been cooperative with investigators. He looks forward to returning to Tennessee as soon as possible to answer the charges against him."
This is what I thought too. I suspect that JC has had to deal with 30 years of trying to manage money with a man who probably can't balance a checkbook, couple that with his sketchy job history, and self-gratification issues and it adds up to that poor woman was IMO basically caretaker of a man-baby. Life from here on out is going to get so much easier. She will probably wonder why she put up with him as long as she did. I don't see her going back. I think she is stronger than that. And freedom must be a relief too.
