A warrant has been issued for an Alabama corrections officer who disappeared with an inmate Friday — the day she was set to retire, authorities say.
The officer, Vicky White, is wanted on a charge of permitting or facilitating the escape of capital murder suspect Casey White from the Lauderdale County Jail, Sheriff Rick Singleton said during a news conference. Vicky and Casey White aren’t related.
"This is not the Vicky White we know by any stretch of the imagination," Singleton said."Everybody thought she was going to retire."Singleton said all possibilities regarding the relationship between Vicky aand Casey White are being investigated, including a romantic one. Officials are reviewing jail video footage to see if Vicky White spent an inordinate amount of time near Casey White's cell.
At the time of her departure, Vicky White told the booking officer that she would be going to a medical appointment after she dropped off Casey White because she wasn’t feeling well. But she had no appointment scheduled, Singleton said. Officers realized the two were missing at around 3:30 p.m. Friday, when Vicky White’s phone went straight to voicemail after repeated attempts to contact her, Singleton said, adding that it was then confirmed that Casey White never returned to the detention center, either.
