Alabama Officer Vicky White Dies and Escapee Is Caught, Officials ... (The New York Times)

A national manhunt for a former corrections officer and the Alabama inmate she helped to escape last month ended Monday after a police pursuit resulted in a ...

Sheriff Singleton said after the capture on Monday that Mr. White would be “handcuffed and shackled” in his cell. “He was here in 2020 for an arraignment, a preliminary hearing,” Sheriff Singleton said. The U.S. Marshals Service warned that she and Mr. White might have been armed with a shotgun and an AR-15-style rifle. She had recently decided to retire, and the escape occurred on her last day of work. Ms. White told a booking officer at the jail that, after dropping off Mr. White, she intended to “seek medical assistance” for herself. Ms. White disappeared with Mr. White on the morning of April 29, after she left the jail under the pretext of escorting him to the county courthouse a few blocks away for a mental health evaluation. Ms. White’s patrol vehicle was left at a shopping center in Florence, where the pair switched vehicles, Sheriff Singleton said. Mr. White had already been serving a 75-year sentence for previous convictions, including two carjackings and multiple shootings. An arrest warrant was issued for her on a charge of permitting or facilitating an escape. The vehicle they were in, a Ford S.U.V., was found abandoned along a rural road in Tennessee later the same day. “He is never going to see the light of day again.” The former officer fatally shot herself, and the inmate surrendered, they said.

Singleton said the inmate will be isolated in a cell. Casey White will be brought back to Alabama, where he was facing murder charges before his escape and already serving a 75-year sentence for other crimes. "And he's not going to get out of this jail again. Sunday night, investigators were told a 2006 Ford F-150 had been discovered at a car wash in Evansville, which is about 175 miles north of Williamson County, Tennessee, where the pair is believed to have abandoned a vehicle they drove away in after ditching Vicky White's patrol car near the jail. "I am so disappointed in her," he said. As the investigation unfolded, the sheriff acknowledged her apparent behavior is inconsistent with the person her colleagues thought they knew. It was one of hundreds of tips officials combed through in the 11 days after Vicky White helped Casey White escape jail. The pair's capture brought to a close a lengthy manhunt that gained widespread attention. Authorities continued to watch them until a vehicle pursuit began, ending when a US Marshals task force member drove a vehicle into the Cadillac the pair were in. "What in the world provoked her, prompted her to pull a stunt like this, I don't know.

Vicky White had said she was taking him from jail to a courthouse for a planned mental health evaluation.
