A former Tennessee teacher who allegedly kidnapped a 15-year-old student earlier this month — sparking an ongoing Amber Alert — exchanged “romantic” and “troubling” messages with the teen through his work email, prosecutors say.
“You could describe it as somewhat intimate in nature,” Maury County, Tennessee, District Attorney Brent Cooper tells People of the communication between Mary Catherine Elizabeth Thomas and her accused captor, 50-year-old Tad Cummins.
The messages were “not a conversation expected for a teacher to be having with a 15-year-old student,” Cooper says.

Prince William and Kate Middleton said their "I dos" in a gorgeous ceremony at Westminster Abbey in London in April 2011. There were so many beautiful moments to behold from their big day, but one that really had us in tears was when the couple recited their wedding vows. While Will and Kate exchanged traditional wedding vows from the Book of Common Prayer, they made one slight tweak - they removed the word "obey." The first royal bride to drop the word was William's late mother, Princess Diana, who omitted it when she married Prince Charles in 1981. Check out their wedding vows in full below. Archbishop: "William Arthur Philip Louis, wilt thou have this woman to thy wedded wife, to live together according to God's law in the holy estate of matrimony?

For the record, the leggy blonde host of Fox's "So You Think You Can Dance" is actually Catherine Elizabeth, the same name as the princess to be.
"My mum had delusions of grandeur," Deeley says. "I am actually Catherine Elizabeth too! She is so depressed. She says, 'It could have been you.'"...

This was Prince William's first recorded thought about his future princess, and its substance has never been in dispute. What has evolved over their eight-year courtship, as Waity Katie patiently won her mate, is not the degree of Middleton's hotness but its status-securing corollary: taste. Now, as she stands on the doorstep of the House of Windsor, Catherine Elizabeth can reasonably be called "fashionable," but it wasn't always so.
