A Southern elite with $650k+ in private education and she's only a pre-K "teacher" at age 34? Anyone in education knows pre-K isn't actually a teacher and you certainly don't need $650k in credentials to do it. Something very odd about all of this, especially how a gal like this even lets a man like him orbit her.

Whether she's a preK or kindergarten teacher (I've heard both), i cannot believe you made such a critical condescending comment. We should be glad to have and encourage well-educated teachers at all grade levels. If she doesn't need a high-paying job, what's it to you? Many people love teaching young children.

She presumably didn’t meet her husband until her late 20s and didn’t have children until around age 30. So she’s been a pre-K teacher for 10 years (since age 23 or 24 after getting her master’s in Nashville), well before marriage and kids came into the picture, and hasn’t advanced? It’s a bit strange.

hardly. princess diana was a preschool teacher aide before marrying. definitely one of the paths of young women w/established family money who are basically waiting to get married.

You proved my point. Diana was a teenage pre-k teacher. Diana married at year 20. This year 34 gal has elite diploma, bachelor’s and master’s degrees, and she’s doing a job she’s overqualified for.

Maybe she's teaching at her boy's preschool? And so what? Give it a rest. Not everyone has the exact same career or life path as you.

Sounds exactly like the plot of Gone Girl.

Looks like police were searching near a boat dealership earlier

I hope they find her. Most women know they should never run alone in the dark. It's not her fault, it's something all of us women live with.

With everything that has been reported, IMO this was a sex crime of opportunity committed by the person in custody. Women have said he is a creep and propositioned them for sex, he stares at some,, he had a juvenile record that included rape. Now someone on here reported that the female college track team reported a black SUV creeping and than ran in that area.

I do not believe the husband was involved and I don’t believe that she survived the attack. I feel sorry for the family. Her mother looks completely depleted. I am sure that her sons will be surrounded with love.

Zero preservation instincts to live in Memphis as a heiress let alone run around that town dressed in nothing at 4 in the morning. Husband failed her.

The junkie career criminal failed her. But for him, she would be at home.

Completely agree. He probably planned to sexually assault her but she fought and he panicked and killed her. That was the four minutes. Then he dumped her body and cleaned up. People like a mystery but there’s no reason to think her wealth or her husband had anything to do with it.

Watch this 60 clip with the sound off.

Lipstick Alley poster:

“My apologies in advance if this has been touched on but the guy that was arrested did a 20 year bid for kidnapping. The interesting thing is, the man that was kidnapped 20 years ago, was a partner at Eliza’s uncle’s law firm. This uncle is the same person that made the statement on the news. Almost like this is what the kidnapper is paid to do. I can’t see this being a revenge plot for the suspect because the lawyer that he kidnapped passed away over a decade ago.”

Wtf?! The uncle above is a lawyer at the same law firm the lawyer this man kidnapped worked at 20 years ago?!

Coincidence. Not everything means something. Her mother looks totally gutted. I hope she’s found alive.

I think at that point the family had seen the entire abduction video. They knew that she likely was no longer alive. Remember, the vehicle sat there for four minutes after she was dragged into the car. They know what happened.

So what was the intent? Four minutes doesn’t seem long enough to rape and kill her. If he just killed her, it feels more likely he was paid to do that, right?

I also can’t get over all the mean posts about her. And such lack of understanding of what happens in wealthy families. The grandfather started a hardware store. Of course there is going to be an expectation that the grandkids to be productive members of specify. Being a kindergarten teacher is a wonderful, helpful, productive job.

I am caught up in this as well, I don’t understand

1) A slutty slutterson who doesn’t even wear her full red gown and white wimple while running

2) A wrinkled crone who is aging too quickly

3) An over-exaggerating smiler

4) A teacher but probably a lazy trust fund teacher who is taking a job from someone who really needs it but who is also lazy but also she shouldn’t be working

5) A selfish, slutty, stupid athlete who runs at the wrong time of day but also doesn’t even run fast enough to run away from someone who surprised her, maybe with a weapon, like geez girl why couldn’t you outsprint him

6) On drugs herself. We’re just guessing, but maybe probably

Good thing when bad things happen, angels among us swoop in to help. Y’all are like those helpers that Mr. Rogers always told us to look for in a bad situation.

No one called her a “slut” except you. Weirdo.

I don’t think anyone criticized her attire; perfectly acceptable for running in the summer in the South. There were legitimate other concerns expressed in this thread - time of day, level of crime in Memphis, husband’s checkered past, etc.

One obnoxious old schoolmarm early in the thread bleated about how she iNcReAsEd hEr rIsK by wearing summer appropriate running clothes in the hot as hell South, but somehow PP has generalized it beyond that, because they’re not very bright.

It was hot as hell at 4:30 am? Ok.

Yes. Do you not understand humidity in Tennessee? It is never “cool” this time of year, even in the middle of the night, and certainly not when you’re distance running. Duh.

If only they lived next to a D1 university with a nine-figure Nike deal and world class indoor athletic training facilities…

Thanks for letting us know you know nothing about how distance runners train (pro tip: it’s not indoors on flat tracks in the air conditioning).

Pro-tip: being around to raise your kids is more important than getting your miles in.

I think many runners have addiction and mental health issues. They displace one addiction for an addiction to running and exercise. I’m assuming anyone defending her reckless routine are fellow irrational running addicts.

WOW read the room. Maybe we should all never venture out after dark? It sounds like she was busy raising her kids, working, volunteering with her church... Running was probably the only thing she did just for herself. I was assaulted when I was younger & yes, it was after dark. Afterwards I barely left the house for a year. Finally I decided I wasn't willing to live like that, life is for living and and the victim blaming is appalling.

Maybe she likes the job? If she was happy why did she have to chase the paycheck?

Sure. Or maybe there’s some there there. All of the pre-k teachers I know are fresh out of undergrad and do it for a year or two.

And those i know make a career out of it and don’t do it for the money because they are already wealthy. They like the hours and like kids. Imagine that.

I know two preschool teachers old enough to collect Social Security. They continue to teach because they love the kids and helping them learn and prepare for kindergarten. PP is ridiculous.

My son’s preschool teacher was a multi-millionaire (prominent family, $2 mn dollar home in DC.) she taught because she liked little kids and wanted to help them grow

Yes, that’s where the husband works.
