Now that Casey White is again behind bars, police are left making an attempt 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 regulation enforcement sources, Vicky was instrumental within the escape. A lot of the prep work needed to be carried out on the surface. However was she greater than only a keen 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 instructed NewsNation‘s Brian Entin that he doesn’t assume the inmate was even “good sufficient to plan all of it.”
Singleton additionally instructed CNN that as Assistant Director of Corrections on the jail, Vicky was “ready” to verify the escape would go off with out a hitch — and she or he’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 instructed her that she was going to take him to court docket and drop him off with different staff.”
He continued:
“She organized, bought the getaway automotive, offered her home, she bought her fingers on money, purchased garments for him, you recognize, 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 photographs, 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 might in reality have been her closing phrases to her obvious lover.
Hmm. She might have been the boss, nevertheless it sounds prefer it wasn’t straightforward telling Casey White what to do. Is smart, tbh. In line 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 assume occurred on this case??
