[QUOTE="MikeC, post: 441947, member: 1604"] Saturday, 09/22/07 Teacher in sex case goes missing Nashville school fires her amid new allegations By ANTONIO GONZALEZ Associated Press A Knoxville teacher accused of having an affair with a high school student has gone missing with her two children. Erin McLean — whose husband, Eric McLean, is charged with killing the 18-year-old student who allegedly had an affair with his wife — has been missing for a week, according to attorneys for both parties. Her Nashville attorney, Gary Blackburn, fears for the woman's safety because, he says, she is distraught over the publicity surrounding the Knoxville case and the loss of another teaching job in Davidson County. "She's under enormous stress and I'm concerned,'' Blackburn said. New allegations emerge Erin McLean was recently fired from Pioneer Christian Academy, Blackburn said. The firing came amid new allegations of improper conduct with a student there, but Metro police say there is no active investigation into those claims, and McLean has not been charged with a crime. School officials could not be reached for comment Friday. McLean's sister reported her missing after family members hadn't heard from her in nearly a week, Metro police spokeswoman Kristin Mumford said. "She called her uncle on Saturday and left a message: 'I have a new job. I have a new roommate and I have my boys,' " Mumford said. Job loss may be to blame The woman, with her two sons, went to visit her mother in her Nashville home on Sept. 15 before she disappeared. McLean had been living at a motel, the Executive Inn, on Murfreesboro Pike. Even though McLean is upset, Blackburn said he doesn't believe she would harm her children. "She's unable to get or keep jobs,'' Blackburn said. "Anything she does is interpreted in a certain way. I fear for her. Anyone in that state, you don't know what might happen.'' Eric McLean's attorney, Bruce Poston, said family members went public with the announcement Friday in hopes of finding her two boys. No Amber alert yet Authorities have not put out an Amber alert because McLean hasn't been charged with any crimes and she has legal custody of her children. Family members think she may be heading to California to meet with a friend she met on the Internet, [b]someone named "Crowder"[/b], Poston said, and will file a petition Monday that McLean is not fit to have custody — which would allow authorities to put out a missing person report. Eric McLean has been charged with second-degree murder in the death of Sean Powell, whom he believed was having an affair with Erin McLean. Powell was fatally shot on March 10 as he sat unarmed in his car in front of the McLeans' home. Erin McLean was his English teacher. [/QUOTE]
