Former Alabama corrections officer Vicky White dies after shooting herself Monday while fleeing with murder suspect
The pair had “wrecked” after a high-speed chase with law enforcement in southern Indiana, said Lauderdale County, Ala., Sheriff Rick Singleton. Authorities said prisoner Casey Cole White surrendered, while Vicky White — who had been about to retire as assistant director of corrections with Lauderdale County — was taken to the hospital with a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Vicky White, 56, cited a nonexistent courthouse appointment on April 29 while taking Casey White out of the county jail, authorities have said. The two are not related, but investigators came to believe that they were romantically involved and that Vicky White aided the escape — which Singleton said was planned.Local, state and federal law enforcers had spent more than a week searching for the fugitives.
Casey White will return to Lauderdale County for arraignment on a new charge of escape, Singleton said.
