BREAKING: An Alabama sheriff says escaped inmate Casey White and former jail official Vicky White have been taken into custody in Indiana. The two fugitives were caught near Evansville, Indiana, after a car chase with U.S. Marshals.
Lauderdale County Sheriff Rick Singleton of Alabama said the two fugitives were caught near Evansville, Indiana, after U.S. Marshals pursued their pickup truck. Casey White, 38, surrendered and Vicky White, 56, was taken to a hospital, the sheriff said.
The two had been the target of a nationwide manhunt since April 29 when Vicky White, the assistant director of corrections for the jail in Lauderdale County, allegedly helped engineer the escape of Casey White, who was awaiting trial in a capital murder case. Vicky White had told co-workers she was taking the inmate from the jail for a mental health evaluation at the courthouse, but the two instead fled the area.
A warrant was issued on May 2 for Vicky Sue White charging her with permitting or facilitating escape in the first degree.
