Found Safe TN - Mary Catherine Elizabeth Thomas, 15, Maury County, 13 March 2017 #3

[StalkerStalker]

There is proof he kissed her. Another student witnessed it in the classroom.

That's an allegation. Not proof.

Well if they are going to Corpus Christie because its a beach then they are going to be really let down. The Greek Isles, Fiji and the Bahamas it is not.

I think we were all so hopeful.

We had another child kidnapped at the same time as the sighting. They just updated that story as the child was found. Maybe why its taking a minute. We aren't used to all this breaking news happening at one time lol

I feel like they both are in love with each other. One can argue that the girl is too young to be in love, but I disagree. I am not saying this is the right kind of relationship, it is a crime... but I do feel like they want to be together with no consequences and the only way to do that is to escape.

Although there's no proof that they ever kissed, or have sexual relationship - it is pretty obvious and it is sick. I do hope they are found as soon as possible.

IN LOVE???Hello.,....she is 15!!! he is 50!!!

But it could also be a pretty good show, seeing how a teacher-who-thinks-he's-a-secret-agent can stack up against some Texas Rangers...

Walker, texas ranger! :bud:

They probably have some secluded bunker or something less than an hour from home, and we're all scouring the country for them. The lack of sightings is really disturbing...I don't think they've been on the road at all since the day they left. They're hiding out somewhere.

You know, I've been to places like that, some of them right in Arizona. You can rent a cabin by the week for about $400, fully furnished with linens, dishes, tv, and basic furniture. All you need to do is bring whatever groceries you plan on cooking up and your personal items. Once you rent the place and move in, nobody bothers you.....it's considered a get-away. That's really the only expense you have for an entire week is the cost of the cabin and your groceries. So...........if TC started out with say........$7500................how long could they stay hidden at a cost of about $600 a week ?


The answer ? : 12. 5 weeks (3 months)

Okay.

 

[DerrenAnker]

That's an allegation. Not proof.

That seems a rather useless distinction to be made at this point. 50 year old is accused of kissing a 15 year old student. His response is to run away with her? Do we have any doubt that he actually kissed her?!


If we want to take the "only allegations, not proof" approach, well--then it's only an allegation that he left with her at all. For all we know, he could be on a camping trip and she could be hitchiking across the U.S. and this has all been a simple misunderstanding.


But it's not--just like the kissing allegation.

Updated statement says they did not see them but they are reviewing security cameras to make sure it was them. They put helicopters in the area but could not find the Rogue. They say they have received other tips also over the past several days but none have been credible

I think they are pinching their pennies and are in more seclusion than a rented cabin. I'm thinking tent.

Say he did get her pregnant and that caused them to run. Wouldn't she need medical care? I know you can deliver without assistance but that's very dangerous

Do you remember 15? I sure do and I was not in actual love. Her brain isn't even all the way developed. Plus she's been horribly abused she's very likely emotionally stunted

yeah I am thinking he isn't worried about how safe it would be. Whats safe and cultural norms do not seem to be his 'thing'.

By the time she would deliver, they could have drastically changed their looks and found an on call midwife or something.

I know a couple who lived in a warehouse for a time. I don't think this is what TC and ET are doing, but you never know. We have to consider all possibilities. When I was having lunch today, I thought 'I am going to pay close attention to all of the people I see every day.' We need as many people on the lookout for these two as possible so that we can bring ET home sooner rather than later.

Yes, when I posted it I did not really think that ET would be into it much or be happy hiding away like that for any length of time. I know I'd go crazy. But, someone mentioned they may be "hunkered" down near home and it would be possible this way.

Love the news they were spotted near Corpus Christi. Maybe today will be the day.

 

[SouthernCutie]

ET and TC will be on Inside Edition it starts now here. A guy will tell you how easy it is to hide

We can't guess what happened this is s very dangerous situation for her. He lost his job/livelihood left his family including new grandchild and taken a young girl off the grid this proves he's become UNHINGED. For all we know he could have threatened her to go with one of his two guns in his possession. What happens if he at some point he blames ET for losing everything he left behind. She is definitely in harms way. We need to find her ASAP before something bad happens if it hasn't already. This man is crazed out of his mind right now. He even looks crazy

 

[pegs]

They may be planning to park near the beach and use the facilities to wash up, etc. Many homeless people use the beach facilities for that. Like another poster said, Corpus Cristie beaches are not glamorous and the facilities are old and nasty. Maybe that will help convince ET to call home or get away. She must be getting pretty disenchanted by Cummins by now. With his apparent control and need for attention issues, the stress of being on 10 Most Wanted List, and being hunted can go a long way to showing his true colors. He won't be the same confident, full of baloney stories, big spender while on the run that he was to impressionable high school kids. He will probably blubber like a big baby when they catch him. I am hoping that this Texas sighting is legit. That would be awesome!!! Would be even better if he was caught by the end of the day!!

If I were LE, then, (and this tip/sighting doesn't pan out), I would pull the students with the highest grades in his Forensics class and ask them to tell me everything they can remember about Tad saying anything unusual. Did he ever discuss "if you needed to disappear or evade law enforcement, you would..."

He may have been flaunting his "superior knowledge" and bragging he'd never get caught like so many average criminals. Or that he'd be a superior officer (FBI agent etc.) because he would look for things others would overlook.

If he had any pet theories, it's possible those influence his actions now.

Excellent idea!
