There's an article in PEOPLE magazine about this case.
The attorney for Elizabeth Thomas states that she lost a considerable amount of weight during the weeks she was hiding out with Cummins and that the two ate wildflowers while they were at a clothes-optional commune in Berkeley (they got kicked out for being lazy after a few days).

They were found in a remote cabin in Northern California ^. There was no electricity, heat, or running water in the cabin. Her attorney, Whatley, says Elizabeth had not showered in weeks when she was recovered and asked to take a shower immediately.
He also says that Elizabeth is very fragile as a result of the ordeal and that Cummins was grooming and manipulating Elizabeth for months leading up to their going on the run.
Documents filed in federal court on Monday morning ahead of his first hearing claim he admitted to switching license plates on his car several times and disabling its GPS system to avoid being caught. He paid for essentials, including chocolate for the teenager, with cash and only took back roads to avoid roadside surveillance, they claim.
'In furtherance of this plan, the defendant procured a small watercraft and conducted a test run to cross into Mexico across the water from San Diego.
Sounds like a lot of premeditation to me. Cummins is going down (I hope).
Cummins is being held without any release terms because he is considered a flight risk. He will return to Tennessee to face charges.
