Alabama corrections officer Vicky White has died due to her injuries, Sheriff Dave Wedding of Vanderburgh County told CNN. She and escaped Alabama inmate ...

Vicky White, who was an assistant director of corrections for Lauderdale County, took Casey White from the county jail on April 29, saying she was taking him for a mental health evaluation, which authorities learned later had never been scheduled. "Obviously she well-planned this escape down to a T." The patrol car the officer and inmate took from the jail was found abandoned in a shopping center parking lot. Vicky White's jail keys, radio and handcuffs were found inside. "We don't wish any ill will on Vicky, but she has some answers to give us," he said. "He will be in a cell by himself," Singleton said. It was just a matter of time." "A lot of preparation went into this. Wedding said the duo were believed to have been in Evansville since May 3. Casey White was driving the car, according to the US Marshals, though Wedding had earlier told reporters Vicky White was the driver. Singleton said Casey White, 38, will be brought back to Alabama. The inmate faces previous murder charges. 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.

Corrections officer Vicky White and inmate Casey White evaded police after escaping an Alabama jail for almost two weeks. How did they do it?

The Marshals Service also released photos of Vicky White showing what she would look like if her hair were darkened. Her internet history and social media connections may also come in handy, DePaul said. 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. Vicky White was likely using new fake identities, too, he added. A warrant has since been issued for her arrest. They were arrested Monday after a police chase and subsequent car wreck in Evansville, Indiana, Lauderdale County Sheriff Rick Singleton said.

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.

(NewsNation) — The search for escaped inmate Casey White and his apparent accomplice, corrections officer Vicky White, has come to an end.

Escapee Casey White and accomplice former corrections officer Vicky White were captured by law authorities after a chase in Indiana on Monday, May 9.

Vicky White, a former Alabama corrections officer, shot herself Monday as she was captured while traveling with murder suspect Casey White, officials said.

Casey White was sentenced to prison in 2019 for violent crimes committed one night in 2015, in Huntsville, Ala., NBC affiliate WAFF reported. He eventually pleaded not guilty because of insanity and tried to escape county custody, WAFF reported. “Our hope and prayer is that we get him before someone gets hurt,” Singleton said at a news conference in late April. He called Vicky White a well-regarded employee of 25 years who broke department policy by leaving the jail alone with a dangerous individual. Law enforcement zeroed in on the Whites on Monday after a local police officer spotted their car, Vanderburgh County, Ind., Sheriff Dave Wedding said at a news conference. “He is never going to see the light of day again.” Local, state and federal law enforcers had spent more than a week searching for the fugitives.

For days, police searched for the two fugitives until Monday afternoon, when they were spotted and captured in Indiana. “We do know they remained in touch while he was in state prison.” Vicky White and Casey White were captured after a car chase in Evansville, Indiana on Monday afternoon, the Vanderburgh County Sheriff Dave Wedding said.

En Indiana, el alguacil del condado de Vanderburgh, Dave Wedding, dijo que Vicky White se pegó un tiro después de la persecución y sufrió heridas graves.

Los investigadores federales creen que habían estado planeando la fuga durante al menos varios meses. Ella escoltaba sola al recluso, una violación de la política de la oficina del alguacil. Ella parece haberlo ayudado a planificar y ejecutar la fuga, dijo el alguacil Rick Singleton del condado de Lauderdale.

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.

The pair initially disappeared April 29 when Vicky White said she was taking Casey White to the courthouse for a mental evaluation. Investigators previously released video of Vicky White at a Quality Inn in Florence, Alabama, where they say she stayed the night before the escape. 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.

An Alabama murder suspect was captured and the jail boss who helped him escape fatally shot herself on Monday after a 10-day manhunt that ended with a car.

“When he gets out of incarceration, he is unable to stay on his medication and he even self-medicates by smoking methamphetamine or taking other illegal substances.” She had recently submitted her retirement papers and sold her home in Lexington. Lauderdale County Sheriff Singleton said the car likely was abandoned because of mechanical issues. Vicky was unable to survive her injuries. Instead, she ditched the police cruiser she was driving and is believed to have fled with Casey in the Ford Edge sometime early that day. “When he’s on medication and in a supervised environment … he’s a decent person,” Bryant told the station.

They then spotted the pair leaving the hotel and getting in the vehicle, with Casey White driving and Vicky White in the passenger's seat. But her patrol vehicle was found in a parking lot hours later — and by 3:30 p.m., officials realized that both she and Casey White were missing. "And if he wants to sue me for violating his civil rights, so be it. Singleton said there is currently no evidence that the relationship was physical or sexual. Vicky White told her colleagues that morning that she was taking Casey White to the courthouse for a mental health evaluation, authorities said. Alabama corrections official Vicky White and escaped capital murder suspect Casey Cole White were captured in Indiana on Monday after more than a week-long manhunt, Lauderdale County Sheriff Rick Singleton said. The capture came after a citizen tip led authorities to Evansville, Indiana, more than 200 miles from where they initially disappeared, Singleton said. I don't know if we'll ever know." Vicky White had initially been charged with permitting or facilitating escape in the first degree, and was also charged Monday with forgery in the second degree and identity theft for allegedly using an alias to obtain a vehicle used in the escape — a Ford Edge that had been located "in the middle of nowhere" in Tennessee and towed by local authorities at approximately 2 p.m. the day the pair first ran off. "And what in the world provoked her or prompted her to pull something like this, I don't know. Singleton said the pair had a "special relationship" and that they were in contact over the phone for months before Casey White's escape. Two law enforcement sources told CBS News' senior investigative producer Pat Milton that investigators had "developed information" that they were potentially driving an older model Cadillac not far from a car wash where a Ford F-150 had been abandoned.

The search for Vicky White and Casey White ended Monday after a chase in Evansville, Indiana. Here's what we know.

When Vicky White left the jail with Casey White, she told coworkers she was taking him to a mental health evaluation. The search for the Whites, who are not related, began in late April after Vicky White told coworkers she was taking Casey White to a courthouse appointment. The patrol car was found abandoned at a shopping center later that day. The Marshals had described White as 6 feet, 9 inches and weighing approximately 330 pounds. He also was set to go on trial next month on capital murder charges in a 2015 murder-for-hire slaying and could face the death penalty if convicted. “We got a dangerous man off the street today.

The coroner's office will ... determine if it was a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The initial indication [is] that it was," Vanderburgh County, Ind. Sheriff ...

And they removed the murderer from the vehicle simultaneously,” Wedding added. Northern District of Alabama U.S. Marshal Marty Keely, in an interview with CNN Monday night, said that after the crash “we got Casey White out (and he) immediately announced that his wife had shot herself in the head and that he didn’t do it.” “As they approached the vehicle, it was obvious that the female driver was unconscious and still had a weapon in her hand. The two were spotted at a car wash in a F-150. Wedding said at the car wash they stole the Cadillac they were in at the time of the capture. Wedding said Tuesday on NBC News’ TODAY that the Monday afternoon chase that led to the capture of escaped inmate Casey White was “very short” and began after an officer spotted a vehicle matching one linked to the pair. “They were in a grassy area, so three of our task force members actually rammed the vehicle and pushed it into a ditch, so it ended up on its side,” Wedding said.

Vicky White died Monday night from what police suspect was a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

April 29 was her last day of work, and Vicky sold her house a month ago. Want to keep up with the latest crime coverage? According to Singleton, policy dictates that someone charged with murder should be escorted by two deputies.

Fue en este estado en el que finalmente se ubicó a la pareja e se inició una persecución en auto. La orden judicial muestra que a Vicky White se le señalan cargos de falsificación y de robo de identidad. Toma un teléfono, llama al 911, entrégate y ayúdanos a llevar a Casey White de vuelta a la cárcel porque sabes que ahí es donde eventualmente terminará", dijo Singleton en Good Morning America, de ABC. Casey White se encontraba esposado y con grilletes cuando subió a la patrulla de la carcelera. Además de esto, Vicky White realizó grandes movimientos financieros en las semanas previas a la fuga. La casa se vendió el 18 de abril por US$ 95.550, según muestran documentos. También ese día, Singleton le pidió a Vicky White que se entregara: "Vicky, has estado en este negocio durante 17 años, has visto este escenario más de una vez y sabes cómo termina siempre. La carcelera fue hospitalizada, pero falleció por las lesiones. Vicki White coordinaba todos los transportes desde el centro de detención hasta el tribunal. (CNN Español) -- El caso no dejaba de resonar en las noticias desde que comenzó a finales de abril. Pero, cuando las autoridades los detuvieron, el arma se había disparado, agregó el sheriff. La resolución del caso llegó este lunes 9 de mayo, cuando la policía informó que tenía en custodia a Casey y a Vicky White tras una persecución en automóvil en Evansville, Indiana, con las autoridades, quienes localizaron a los fugitivos gracias a una pista que llegó del público el domingo.

Los familiares y compañeros de trabajo de Vicky White dijeron que estaban atónitos. Singleton dijo que parecía que el plan había estado en proceso durante algún tiempo. Casey White cumplía una sentencia de prisión de 75 años por intento de asesinato y otros cargos en el momento de su fuga. Subía por una arteria principal aquí en el condado de Vanderburgh y cruzaban un estacionamiento en una gran fábrica. Estaban en un área cubierta de hierba, por lo que tres miembros de nuestro grupo de trabajo embistieron el vehículo y lo empujaron a una zanja para que terminara de costado. Jess Powers, director de la Fuerza de Tareas contra Delitos Cibernéticos del Condado de Vanderburgh, dijo a The Associated Press que Casey White apareció en la corte por video y “será extraditado de inmediato. La indicación inicial es que lo fue, pero no descartaremos nada hasta que tengamos una investigación exhaustiva por parte del forense”. Ella se pegó un tiro en la cabeza y yo no lo hice”. Los dos White no estaban relacionados, y mucho menos casados, dijeron las autoridades.
