Summary
For 38 days, authorities scoured the country, piecing together clues from surveillance footage, abandoned vehicles, and cryptic sightings, while Elizabeth’s family clung to hope amid mounting fears. In this episode of the “Bad Teachers” series, Jim Chapman explores the twisted dynamics that led to their flight across state lines, the remote California cabin where their run came to a dramatic end, and the long road to justice—including Cummins’ 20-year prison sentence and Elizabeth’s courageous path to healing.Â
Listener discretion advised: This episode contains discussions of grooming, sexual misconduct, and child exploitation.
