BREAKING UPDATE: Vicky White, the Alabama corrections officer who walked a murder suspect and convicted felon out of the Lauderdale County Jail last month, has died, officials said.
After spending 11 days on the run, traveling north from Florence, Alabama up to Evansville,, a U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force caught up with White and the convict, Casey Cole White, kicking off a high-speed chase that ended in a car wreck.
In the days leading up to the brazen escape, which jailhouse surveillance cameras recorded around 9:30 a.m. on the day Vicky White was supposed to retire, she sold her four-acre property for $95,000, and used a fake name to buy a getaway car. She withdrew tens of thousands of dollars from the bank and also picked up guns, men’s clothing and other supplies.
Investigators are working to determine if a vehicle discovered in Evansville, Indiana, is linked to the Alabama prison escapee and fugitive prison guard who fled from an Alabama jail late last month. "It’s hard to believe that they’ve been here that many days, but we were lucky that we stumbled upon them today," Sheriff Wedding said Monday.
"Everybody thought she was gonna retire," Singleton said during a May 2 news briefing. "Nobody saw this coming." While in prison for those crimes, investigators say he confessed to the 2015 murder of Connie Ridgeway, a 58-year-old woman stabbed to death in her own home.
