Therefore, Elizabeth was left with little choice when Tad made it clear he owned two guns before continuously urging her to follow his wishes, yet she did tell her sister to contact the police if she didn’t return by evening. Any time he threatened himself, he’d threaten my family.” He said if he couldn’t have me, he’d kill himself. The then-teen claimed, “Any time that I wouldn’t post for a few hours, he would go crazy and say that I was cheating on him and saying if he found out that I was with another boy, he’d kill them… Sometimes he’d be threatening to kill himself or ending someone else’s life if I didn’t. He doesn’t take ‘no’ well,” she admitted, yet things changed once a fellow student saw them kissing.Įven though Tad was suspended following a brief investigation and ordered to stay away from Elizabeth, thanks to the student formally reporting the incident, he continued to contact her.
And he told me no and not to do it ’cause it’d change who I was.” Then there’s the fact he would often lie to her about being a killer, sext her, find ways to get her alone in his classroom, violate her, and manipulate her into believing he was the only adult who cared about her. “I was feeling real low, and I was wanting to get on anti-depressants and try to go to a therapist. “Whenever I tried to seek mental help, he told me no,” Elizabeth said in the production.
The teen did notice the interactions between them were growing intensely strange as he began commenting on her body and urged her not to seek counseling despite her wishes, but it was too late.
Little did she realize, though, that the married man she initially considered a father figure/mentor of sorts was merely laying down the extensive groundwork to groom her into his perfect partner. That’s when Elizabeth came across Tad as her health teacher, just to gradually begin confiding in him instead of classmates her own age since he was the only one kind to her in the sea of bullies. It thus wasn’t until she and her sister contacted the authorities in 2016 that the latter was removed from the family residence, resulting in the young ones being enrolled in a public school. She was actually homeschooled while her father worked round the clock as an exterminator to provide for his five kids, per the ABC episode, unaware that their mother was harming them at every turn. Although Elizabeth hails from a relatively big family within the small town of Culleoka, Tennessee, her childhood was reportedly not easy, happy, or even stable owing to maternal-domestic abuse.
