'Knowing the inmate, I think she's in danger whatever the circumstances,' the Lauderdale County Sheriff said.
Their non-physical relationship was confirmed, in part, by inmates who told officials that Casey White received special privileges such as extra food because of the officer, he said.
A widow with no children, she had talked about retiring for three or four months before Friday's incident, sold her home about a month ago, and thought about moving to the beach, the sheriff said. "I didn't know anything about him," Davis said."We don't know if she was took by force or if she was voluntarily in this. But we just want her back. That's all we want.""As a mother, I didn't know how to act because I thought at first it was a mistake," Davis said."And then when I found out for sure it was, it was just disbelief.
In 2020, while Casey White was being held in Lauderdale County's detention center, authorities learned he planned to escape the jail and take a hostage, Singleton said."We shook him down, and we did find a shank in his possession -- a shank is a prison knife. And we retrieved that. We immediately had him shipped back to the Department of Corrections," Singleton said Monday.
