Investigators combing the country for a 50-year-old teacher who is believed to have run off with his 15-year-old former student say the pair had a “romantic interest in each other.”Tad Cummins and Elizabeth Thomas -- who were once allegedly caught kissing in a classroom -- haven’t been seen since March 13. But as officials continue their hunt for the pair, new evidence is emerging to show a “romantic” relationship developed between them prior to the disappearance. Cummins and Thomas wrote emails to each other and saved them as drafts in a folder of Cummins’ school email account, Maury County District Attorney Brent Cooper told WAAY on Friday. “They would write the message and let it save as a draft,” Cooper said. On Tuesday, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation tweeted a photo from January showing Cummins and Thomas gazing at each other “days before his alleged inappropriate contact with her.”
