We got a dangerous man off the street today,” Lauderdale County Sheriff Rick Singleton said. “He is never going to see the light of day again.”

“I had every bit of trust in Vicky White. She has been an exemplary employee and what in the world provoked or prompted her to pull a stunt like this, I don’t know. “Casey White is now back in custody, and I cannot express enough to the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force for the assistance,’’ he said. “We were starting from Ground Zero and not only that, they got a six-hour head start on us,’’ he said. “They are no resources available, no plan in place about ‘What am I going to do when I get out of here other than just run.” “I was committed to every resource we had available to us, to use those resources to make this happen,’’ he said. I don’t know the extent of her injuries, but I hope she survives it. “We got a dangerous man off the street today,’’ Singleton said. We don’t wish any ill will on Vicky in terms of her health or her well- being, but she has some answers to give us. “It ended the way that we knew it would – they are in custody.” The pursuit started after a tip was sent to law enforcement. Asked what he was say to Vicky White, Singleton said, “I hope she survives this. The severity of her injuries wasn’t immediately available, Keely said.

Vicky White dies after U.S. marshals catch her and escaped felon ... (Evansville Courier & Press)

The investigation into the escape of inmate Casey White and disappearance of corrections officer Vicky White has drawn national headlines.

Lauderdale County Sheriff Rick Singleton previously disclosed the inmate and corrections officer had a "special relationship" spanning two years. Casey White was in jail on an attempted murder charge, while Vicky White is a former correctional officer who officials believe aided in his escape. Casey White, the 38-year-old passenger, was injured in the crash. Wedding told the Courier & Press that the truck had been likely abandoned on May 3, days before it was reported. “From there to here it’s probably only three minutes, so it was a very short pursuit.” Casey White also reportedly confessed to killing 59-year-old Alabama mother Connie Ridgeway in 2015. And Vicky White, a former corrections officer who reportedly helped convicted felon Casey White escape, later died at Deaconess Hospital, Vanderburgh County Coroner Steve Lockyear said. The marshals collided with the Whites' vehicle in a grassy area near Baumgart Road. The U.S. Marshals Service was offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the capture of Casey White and a $5,000 reward for the capture of Vicky White. Wedding said Vicky White, 56, shot herself after the chase and suffered serious injuries. No law enforcement officials were injured, Wedding said.

The 10-day nationwide manhunt for Alabama capital murder suspect and a former corrections officer has finally come to a close in Evansville, Indiana.

The pursuit was short in nature, and we have both people in custody,” Wedding says. But in this case, we’re glad they did,” Wedding says. Sometimes they do things that are unexplainable. “Every time I see a truck sticking out, I think something’s going on.” “The female driver of the vehicle shot herself, and the passenger was injured not too seriously,” Wedding continued. Vanderburgh County Sheriff Dave Wedding says the two people involved in the incident were Alabama fugitive Casey White and former corrections officer Vicky White.

Former corrections officer Vicky White, 56, and inmate Casey White, 38, were arrested after a police chase in Evansville, Indiana, authorites said.

Singleton previously disclosed the inmate and corrections officer had a "special relationship" spanning two years. Vicky White, whom authorities have since called an accomplice, allegedly told coworkers she was taking Casey White to a courthouse appointment before the couple vanished. "I don’t know if we’ll ever know.” Singleton said that Vicky White had been an "exemplary employee," and that he had "every bit of trust" in her. He’s never going to see the light of day again.” He was set to go to trial in that case next month.
