Marshals: Reward for info on escaped inmate, missing officer

Source: Associated Press

FLORENCE, Ala. (AP) — The U.S. Marshals Service said Sunday that it is offering up to $10,000 for information about an escaped inmate and a “missing and endangered” correctional officer who disappeared Friday after the two left a jail in north Alabama.

Casey Cole White, 38, had been jailed on a capital murder charge in the Lauderdale County Detention Center in Florence, Alabama, about 75 miles (121 kilometers) west of Huntsville.

The inmate and assistant director of corrections Vicky White, 56, left the Lauderdale County Detention Center on Friday morning to go to a nearby courthouse, the sheriff’s office said in a Facebook post Saturday. Investigators said the two are not related.

[...]

Vicky White has been with the department 16 years. At a news conference Friday, Singleton said she was armed when she left the jail with the inmate and headed to the courthouse for what she said was a mental health evaluation for Casey White. She was alone with the inmate, which the sheriff said violated department policy.

And that she didn't turn stupid and get involved with him. But I'm withholding judgement until there is more info

I sincerely hope she isn't found dead in the woods somewhere, but it's one likely outcome.

Sociopaths can be incredibly charming, I've run into a few. I was lucky, I got to know the breed when I worked in a state mental hospital when I was a teenager. I knew what to look for and it probably saved my life more than once.

Corrections officers need better training than just on the job in what these guys can do.

Whatever went down, it sin';t looking good for the corrections officer.

I've known some in my life as well and they can appear just as normal as anyone else. It sounds like she got seduced into something and didn't realize what was happening, or was doing her thinking below the belt.

(The worst guy I knew, I knew in the Army for about a year. We went through our Officer Basic course together and then went to Germany. He had met someone at the Officers' Club and was totally in lust with her. I think it was his first sexual relationship. He started screwing up to get kicked out and go back to be with her, and when he finally went AWOL she was already hooked up with someone else. He got kicked out and a few years later robbed a bank with another guy, and they collectively killed three people. The other guy died in prison and this guy is still in. If you're interested, look up The D-Day Bank Massacre. It's all there.)

Women can be sociopaths, too, and he just sounds like a screwup who started thinking with the wrong head, especially after a general or dishonorable discharge wrecked the rest of his life.

It sucks, but sociopaths never seem to find each other and get together.

Or he should. The responsibility is on him. Of course I haven't seen him in over 40 years but I did look up his jailhouse picture and he looks like a sad old man.

and, I believe I heard that there was no record of any scheduled mental health exam.

Plus her car was found at a local shopping mall.

Not looking good for her being the victim.

Does anyone have an address I can write to in order to get my reward?

He knows how to change his appearance. When they do corner him, he will be dangerous and hard to catch.

I don't know about the woman. She could have been overpowered and threatened.

First saw it on CNN, which included photos of both of them.

She violated protocol, she was assistant director of corrections, should not have transported or removed a prisoner alone. She's complicit, probably dead, and I doubt her body will be found any time soon. And if she's still with him she's probably died her hair.

At 6'9 he's easier to look for, scanning crowds or footage would show taller men, easier to do facial recognition. But he's probably avoiding areas where that could happen.
