FLORENCE, Ala. (AP) — Authorities issued an arrest warrant Monday for a corrections official who they say helped an inmate arrested on a murder charge escape from an Alabama jail even as they searched for the pair.

The inmate, Casey Cole White, 38, disappeared Friday after he left the Lauderdale County Detention Center in Florence, Alabama, on Friday morning with Vicky White, the facility’s assistant director of corrections. They have not been seen since.

Vicky White told co-workers she was taking the inmate to the courthouse for a mental health evaluation. But Lauderdale County Sheriff Rick Singleton later said no such evaluation was scheduled.

“Casey White, as you’ve heard me say over and over and over is an extremely dangerous person and we need to get him located and get him off the street,” Singleton said Monday at a press conference.

1. "Vicky White had planned to retire and that Friday was to be her last day."

"last day" indeed.

[Budi]

5. What made him worth it?

Wow. That defies reason.

"Vicky White had planned to retire and that Friday was to be her last day."

[Warpy]

16. I hope it wasn't prophetic, but it probably was

There is just no good outcome for this one.

He'll have to keep her alive for a while, at 6'9" he's not going to blend in outside the NBA.

And no, it doesn't matter if she was a willing accomplice.

[Demovictory9]

19. she sold her home a few weeks ago

[madaboutharry]

2. Didn't they already make this movie?

It was a true story, maybe in the 1980’s, about a defense attorney who helped her inmate lover escape. They were captured within a short time. She was imprisoned and of course lost her law license.

[Budi]

3. He prob murdered her as soon as he was free.

Cuz he's a murderer,.

[Ray Bruns]

4. 6' 9" tall? How hard is it to find this guy?

[Budi]

7. True. Kinda hard to hide in the crowd. 6'9 & 250 lbs

[3Hotdogs]

22. Nah, it'll be the tats that'll give him away.

[Angleae]

20. Maybe he's hiding on a basketball court.

[obamanut2012]

6. That woman is raped and dead by now

I am betting. Just like the two inmates Tilly Mitchell helped escape at Dannemora were planning to gang rape her then kill her. The smartest thing that stupid AF woman ever did was decide to not pick them up in her car.

[Budi]

8. K & R

[LiberalFighter]

9. Was he arrested on federal or state charges?

I'm trying to make the connection on why the U.S. Marshals are offering an award.

[Sneederbunk]

10. US Marshals will assist upon State request.

[Mr.Bill]

17. The escape also in close proximity to two bordering states

so I would guess they are thinking it's probably they have crossed state lines.

[Shrek]

11. Kinda reminds me of a shaggy Don Draper

Pretty much what he would look like after a few years in prison.

[intrepidity]

23. I see that

also, Jim from The Office.

12. Vicky White:

[oldsoftie]

14. Thats a picture of an idiot right there.

[efhmc]

15. Seems sad to me.

[hamsterjill]

18. Either an idiot or someone desperate for attention

The inmate is 38. Ms. White is 56.

I hope she is still alive but I doubt she is. It’s sad that someone can be conned that easily.

[Haggis 4 Breakfast]

25. Let's NOT leap to conclusions.

Until there is hard evidence about her involvement, let's not condemn her. We have no idea if she was threatened or coerced. It wouldn't be the first time this has happened.

Let's wait until the FACTS are all in.

[oldsoftie]

26. Oh, she was "coerced" all right. She fell for him. We've seen the facts.

A man in custody was taken out by her, on her own, with no authorization. They wouldn't be after her as a suspect if they didnt know she was dirty.
The odds of this being anything different are slim to none

[Jimvanhise]

13. AGAIN?!

This has happened before and it never ends well. It is almost a cliche. The thing is, someone who is 6'9" really stands out in a crowd. I'm 6' nothing but on the rare occasion I encounter someone that tall it makes me realize how short people must feel as I imagine what it would be like if 90% of people were 6'9" tall. Unless he does a lot of walking hunched over he will be noticed.

[3Hotdogs]

21. She's the assistance communications director of the slammer.

Well, she's gonna have alot to talk about now.
