A Female prison guard who also went on the run with a murder suspect from an Alabama jail has also died after shooting herself as the pair were caught, the Police say. Vicky White, 58, died in the hospital after she and Casey White (no relation), 38, were arrested in Indiana following a police chase. The two had vanished from a prison in

It was Ms White’s last day at work before retirement. She had recently sold her home and told colleagues she planned to spend more time at

the beach. Late on the Monday, the Vanderburgh County Coroners Office confirmed that Vicky White died in local hospital after shooting herself during the arrest. More information on her death is expected to be released on Tuesday following an autopsy. Lauderdale County Sheriff Rick Singleton also said earlier that the couple’s vehicle

crashed after a police chase in the Evansville, Indiana, at which point Casey White surrendered. We got dangerous man off the street today. He is never going to see the light of day again, he said. The US Marshals Service said the two had previously been last seen on Friday driving a copper-coloured Ford Edge with an Alabama registration

plate. On Monday, Sheriff Singleton described the 6ft 9in Casey White as extremely dangerous and also advised the law enforcement not to take any chances with him. Meanwhile, Ms White had a spotless record as a prison guard. I would have trusted Vicky with my life. I really mean it, the Lauderdale County District Attorney Chris

Connolly told reporters. If we needed something from the jail, she was our go-to person, solid employee. That’s why it’s so shocking. Casey White was then charged in September 2020 with murder over the stabbing of 58 year old Connie Ridgeway. He was already serving 75 years for a series of violent crimes in 2015, including

burglary, vehicle theft and a Police chase. He allegedly confessed to the murder, but later pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity, and was awaiting trial at Lauderdale County Jail when he disappeared, authorities added.He faces execution if convicted.
