The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation released new pictures Monday morning of the former Tennessee teacher believed to be on the run with one of his students.
The images from store surveillance of Tad Cummins, 50, were taken the week before authorities said he allegedly kidnapped Elizabeth Thomas, 15.

Both Thomas and Cummins disappeared March 13 from Columbia, Tenn. Besides one ping from a cell phone on a tower in Decatur, Ala., authorities said there has been no credible information on where the two could be.
Authorities said they believe Cummins used his position as a teacher at Thomas's high school to groom her to potentially sexually exploit her. He is wanted for sexual contact with a minor.
According to Nashville ABC affiliate WKRN, TBI agents believe Cummins had been making plans to "live off the grid."
Cummins is 6 feet tall and 200 pounds. He is believed to have two handguns.
Thomas is 5'5" and 120 pounds with blonde hair and hazel eyes.
They may be traveling in a silver Nissan Rogue with Tennessee license plate number 976ZPT.
