Now that Casey White is again behind bars, police are left attempting to select up the items and reply the lingering questions on his escape from jail.
What we all know for positive is that the homicide suspect was aided in his escape from the Lauderdale County Jail late final month by corrections officer Vicky White. After 11 days on the run, they had been cornered at a motel in Evansville, Indiana and fled from the police and US marshals. Vicky died of a gunshot wound, the one shot fired within the chase, apparently self-inflicted — to evade arrest and prosecution. She would have confronted 10 years in jail if discovered responsible.
As we’ve heard from legislation enforcement sources, Vicky was instrumental within the escape. A lot of the prep work needed to be achieved on the surface. However was she greater than only a prepared confederate?

Lauderdale County Sheriff Rick Singleton has now mentioned flat-out he believes his worker was the “mastermind” behind the breakout. His first clue? He advised NewsNation‘s Brian Entin that he doesn’t suppose the inmate was even “good sufficient to plan all of it.”
Singleton additionally advised CNN that as Assistant Director of Corrections on the jail, Vicky was “ready” to ensure the escape would go off with out a hitch — and he or she’d be capable to stroll out of the jail along with her man:
“She knew that the reserving officer wasn’t going to query her, the assistant director, when she advised her that she was going to take him to courtroom and drop him off with different staff.”
He continued:
“She organized, bought the getaway automobile, bought her home, she received her fingers on money, purchased garments for him, , she simply clearly put the plan collectively.”
Casey’s lawyer agreed, telling the outlet “there was no approach that Casey deliberate this escape — it was too methodical, it was too deliberate out.”
This type of turns our image of the case on its head. We’ve considered Vicky as a pawn within the machinations of a person described as “evil” by the family members of his deceased ex. However are you able to be the puppet and the mastermind on the identical time?
One new little bit of proof we now have to go on is a partial audio recording of their seize, recorded by police. The bits of the ultimate dialog between the Whites (no relation, btw) are fairly telling. Because the chase ends with their automobile crashing, she could be heard calling the pictures, saying:
“Airbags are going off. Let’s get out and run.”
She then could be heard throwing the blame for his or her imminent seize on Casey, grumbling:
“You needed to keep in some f**king motel.”
These could actually have been her remaining phrases to her obvious lover.
Hmm. She could have been the boss, nevertheless it sounds prefer it wasn’t straightforward telling Casey White what to do. Is sensible, tbh. In keeping with Entin’s reporting, Casey’s new house is William E. Donaldson Correctional Facility in Jefferson County, Alabama — a most safety jail specializing in “behaviorally tough to handle” inmates after his arraignment on new expenses.
What do YOU suppose occurred on this case??
