This is Casey White, a towering 6'9 inmate known for his violent past and a prison sentence of 75 years for trying to kill someone. But on April 29th, 2022, Casey pulled off what seemed impossible. Early that morning, security cameras caught prison officer Vicky White. no relation, quietly slipping through a back entrance. Moments later, she led Casey, shackled but calm, right out the same door. Vicki wasn't just any guard. She was a trusted prison supervisor with over 20 years on the job and not a single blemish on her record. So, when she vanished with one of Alabama's most dangerous criminals, the first thought was that she must have been threatened or forced. But as investigators dug deeper, they uncovered clues suggesting something far more shocking. Vicki might have masterminded the entire escape herself. A massive manhunt would soon sweep across the country, and what they discovered would stun even veteran officers, ending in tragedy with Vicki dead from a gunshot wound and Casey back in custody. April 29th, 2022. That morning, officer Vicky White informed her co-workers she'd be taking an inmate for a mental health evaluation at the local courthouse. It seemed routine, except for one troubling detail. Vicki chose to transport the prisoner alone. Prison policy clearly states that two officers must escort an inmate at all times, but because Vicki was a respected supervisor, no one questioned her decision. Hours passed, six to be exact, before anyone realized that Vicki and the inmate hadn't returned. By then, it was too late. Investigators quickly turned their focus to the man she'd driven away with, Casey White. His record was terrifying. 75 years behind bars for a long list of violent crimes, including breaking into homes, domestic assault, and even trying to kill someone with an axe. But one incident haunted detectives. the most. Years earlier, Casey had mentally and physically tormented his girlfriend until she fled to a friend's house for safety. But safety didn't last. Casey tracked her down, armed with two loaded guns, fully intending to kill everyone inside. By a stroke of luck, his victims managed to escape unharmed. After that failed murder attempt, Casey sparked a multi-state crime spree, stealing cars and leading police on high-speed chases before finally being cornered in an armed standoff with officers. And now, thanks to Vicki, this dangerous man was back on the run with a trusted prison officer by his side. Put the gun down. Let me see your hand, man. Put the gun down, Sergeant. Put the gun down, buddy. Hey, put the gun down. Just Just relax a little bit. Is that her? Hey, sir. I will get you a thumb drive. If you'll be still, just be calm. You don't ain't got no head on you. No, you ain't got you got it. In a tense standoff back then, officers used an unexpected tactic to diffuse the situation. They slid a soft drink and a pack of cigarettes toward Casey, hoping the small gesture would settle him enough to prevent gunfire. Against all odds, it worked. Casey calmed down just long enough for the officers to close in and safely put him in cuffs. Once in the interrogation room, detectives got a disturbing glimpse into just how dangerous and unpredictable Casey really was. Confirming that this was not a man who could be trusted behind anything less than maximum security bars. I've been playing just a killer ever since. I couldn't wait no longer. I had to do it tonight. Do you regret what you did tonight? I regret I didn't kill him. By now, detectives had a clear idea of exactly who Casey White was. But the bigger mystery was Vicky White herself. How did a veteran corrections officer end up helping a dangerous inmate break out? After all, they didn't even work in the same prison at first, and Casey had no hope of getting out legally. But about a year before the escape, Casey suddenly confessed to an unsolved murder. a cold case that had been gathering dust for years. No one knows exactly why he decided to admit it, but he gave details only the killer could have known. His confession meant he had to be moved to a different facility to stand trial. That new prison happened to be where Vicki worked, and that's when everything changed. At 56, Vicky White had built a spotless reputation over two decades on the job. She'd been divorced for a while, and despite her dedication, her personal life had grown empty and repetitive. So when Casey arrived, the excitement he brought with him was like a spark she hadn't felt in years. They bonded over sharing the same last name, something they joked made them meant to be. Soon, Vicki was spending more time at the jail than ever, even on her days off. Friends noticed she seemed happier, but few guessed the real reason. Behind the scenes, she was falling for a man whose entire life was violence and manipulation. Psychologists say it's not as uncommon as people think. Some are drawn to the danger, feeling special when a violent person chooses not to hurt them. Vicki was trapped in routine, craving escape. While Casey was locked up at Lauderdale County, Vicki gave him privileges no inmate should have. Access to offlimits areas and blind spots with no security cameras. Many believe this is where their affair turned physical and where they plotted their getaway. A few days before the escape, they tested the plan. Vicki told her team Casey had a fake court appointment. They simply sat together in her patrol car for 9 minutes, then returned like nothing happened. No one suspected a thing. 2 days later, surveillance caught them passing notes, likely finalizing their plan. But by the time investigators found that footage, they were long gone. On April 29th, 2022, their plan went live. Using her authority, Vicki reassigned 12 inmates and five officers elsewhere. that day, leaving her as the only transport officer available. She claimed Casey needed a mental health evaluation. Security cameras show her armed inside the prison, a violation of policy, and walking ahead of Casey instead of behind him, trusting he wouldn't attack. In that single moment, Vicky White, once a respected, rule- abiding supervisor, crossed a line she could never come back from. She gave up her career, her freedom, and ultimately her life for the man she thought she loved. Vickiy's always been a good girl. I went to school with other people involved. And Vicki is just a scapegoat. You knew her. You loved her. Feel like if she had anything to do with it, it was definitely love. With everything in place, Vicki and Casey simply strolled out of the jail and climbed into a patrol vehicle as if it were any other day. No alarms, no raised eyebrows, just two people driving straight toward freedom. Hours slipped by before anyone realized they were gone. When staff called the courthouse to check on the so-called appointment, they got the shock of their lives. No one there was expecting them at all. By then, the pair were long gone. Knowing they'd be hunted fast, they ditched the police cruiser and slipped out of state. With the official car abandoned and no cameras to trace their next move, police suddenly had zero leads and an armed convict with his trusted prison officer were now ghosts on the run. This kicked off an 11-day nationwide chase that would drain countless police resources and keep the public on edge. On the very first day, investigators searched Vickiy's house for answers, only to discover she didn't even own it anymore. She'd sold it below market value just weeks before the breakout. With the quick cash, she'd bought a getaway car, weapons, and even men's clothes. Clear signs she was planning a fresh start, not just a quick escape. The next blow for police came when the patrol car was found abandoned at a local shopping mall with no useful security footage in the area. They couldn't tell which direction the fugitives headed next. But by the second day, a tip from Vickiy's own relatives cracked open more of the truth. They revealed she'd secretly been renting a storage unit under a fake phone number. When officers checked inside, they found supplies and more evidence of a carefully crafted plan. Though tracking the burner phone led nowhere, it gave investigators the first undeniable proof that Vicki hadn't been kidnapped. She was fully involved, ready to disappear and start over with Casey, no matter the cost. You get the sense they were actually discovered. We was not forcing her in any way. Right. No, he was not forcing her. It was a mutual relationship. You'd think that finally uncovering Vickiy's secret storage unit would steer the search in the right direction. But instead, the investigation turned even more tangled. Back at Square 1, detectives circled back to the shopping mall where they'd found the abandoned police cruiser. They dug through hours of old security footage, hoping for any missed clue. That's when they caught a break. Days before the escape, cameras showed Vicki parking a car in a nearby lot. Not her usual vehicle, but a 2007 Ford Edge she'd bought just days before the breakout. Right away, officers guessed this was their real getaway car. But when they rushed back to check, the Ford Edge was still sitting exactly where she'd left it. In a clever move, Vicki had set a trap, leaving a decoy to throw them off her trail and buy herself and Casey precious time. With that lead dead, investigators were forced to guess their next move. Since they dumped the Ford Edge, they had to have picked up another ride nearby. Sure enough, another local tip cracked things open again. A homeowner came forward saying he'd sold his Ford F-150 truck to a tall stranger on the very day Vicki and Casey vanished. When shown Casey's mugsh shot, the man was certain it was him. Now the manhunt hinged on tracking down that F-150. 6 days into the chase, a sharpeyed car wash owner in Indiana spotted something odd. the same model truck sitting in a washbay for way too long. It looked freshly cleaned but abandoned, which didn't make sense for such a good vehicle. Suspicious, he pulled up the car wash's security footage, and what he saw was gold for investigators. The video captured Casey stepping out of the pickup, acting restless and keeping watch. Moments later, Vicki appeared in another car just out of frame. Casey hopped in, leaving the truck behind, and they drove off together yet again. Realizing he just uncovered fugitives on the run, the car wash owner wasted no time. He dialed 911 and set the final stage of this manhunt in motion. The next day, cops arrive at the car wash and initiate a search of the truck. Turns to a Dodge. Yep. DNL. Wow. Unfortunately, with no solid clues inside, they left empty-handed and had the pickup towed away. In a frustrating twist, it took four whole days for this crucial lead to make its way back to the detectives actually working the manhunt. But once it did, they knew they had no time to waste. They immediately focused their search on Evansville. On day 10 of the hunt, officers were supposed to return to the car wash at 9 in the morning to follow up and gather more details. But they didn't show up on time. The car wash owner, fed up with waiting and worried they were losing precious time, decided to take matters into his own hands. He reached out to the local media hoping public attention would finally push authorities to act before the fugitives slipped away for good. So then 9:30 they're not here. So I said I get on the phone with Fox News. I said, "Y'all want a story?" "Yeah, we like the story." Said, "I got one." I got a convict over at my car. I got him on camera. He said, "You talking about the one in Kentucky?" I said, "No, I'm talking about the one in Alabama with the girl." Said, "Okay, we'll be right there." They showed up. They got there 10 minutes before the marshall. Amid the buzz stirred up by the local news, US marshals finally showed up at the car wash to dig deeper. Watching the footage closely, they spotted something big. Vicki and Casey had been driving a Cadillac, a car they believed no one knew about. It was the break police needed to tighten the net. But despite this clue, days passed with no sign of the pair, and frustration grew as officers realized the fugitives could be anywhere in the country by now. Little did they know, Vicki and Casey hadn't gone far at all. Back in Evansville on day 11, a tired local cop heading home after a long shift noticed a familiar car parked outside Motel 41, a Cadillac that looked just like the one from the car wash footage. He quickly jotted down the license plate. There was one problem. The Cadillac's plate had never been visible on camera before, so they couldn't be sure it was the same vehicle. But they did have the plate from the F-150 they'd abandoned earlier. So, taking a chance, they ran that plate through traffic cameras and got lucky. In clip after clip, the F-150 was caught on camera, and right behind it in nearly every shot was the same Cadillac, the one now parked at Motel 41. Suddenly, the manhunt had zeroed in on the fugitives at last. US marshals rushed to the motel, setting up undercover cars and plain deputies all around the building, ready to end this quietly. Inside room 115, Vicki and Casey were watching TV when news of the recovered F-150 broke live on air. Their plan to stay under the radar was crumbling fast. Before officers could move in, Vicki stepped out of the room, tossed a bag into the Cadillac, and was joined by Casey, whose massive build made him impossible to miss, even in disguise. Casey slid behind the wheel and hit the gas before police could react. The plan for a quiet arrest shattered instantly. Marshalss jumped into their unmarked cars and tailed the Cadillac, trying to box it in and avoid a dangerous standoff. But it didn't take long for Casey to spot the tail. And once he did, he floored it. He blasted onto US Highway 41, weaving through traffic, cutting across parking lots, and then barreling straight into an open field in a desperate sprint for freedom. While all this chaos unfolded, police dispatch got a chilling call from Vicki herself. And what she said would show just how desperate and terrifying this final chase had become. The high-speed chase came to a crashing stop when a patrol unit forced Casey off the road, sending the Cadillac plunging nose first into a ditch. But even with the car wrecked, officers knew it wasn't over yet. Both fugitives were armed and desperate, and there was every chance this could turn into a final standoff. A modern-day Bonnie and Clyde moment with bullets flying if Casey or Vicki decided to go out fighting. crash. [Applause] Where's your head? Please don't check on my wife. Check on my wife. Thanks my wife. She's That's the best woman in the world right there. Please. That's the best woman in the world. Vicki, I'm so sorry, baby. I'm so sorry, baby. Anybody in this world don't deserve that. She don't. When she herself, it hit me. But y'all ain't going to believe me. I'm going to say I killed her. Just like I killed everybody else. After 11 intense days on the run, the manhunt finally ended. Casey was pulled from the wrecked Cadillac, alive and in handcuffs. But for Vicki, there was no happy ending. Just weeks earlier, she'd been a trusted prison supervisor, admired by her co-workers and known for her spotless record. Now she was a wanted fugitive, lying in the front seat of a stolen car, gravely wounded and barely conscious. Her desperate gamble for love and freedom had ended in tragedy, and Casey White was heading back behind bars, alone once again. All right. She still got it in her hand. She's got her hand right here. Medicine still in her hand. Well, I think we can reach in and get the gun. Windshield open idea. We got We got cover. Yeah. It's opening. It's opening. You got me? I'm going to go for the gun first. All right. Pull me out. Okay. All right. I got it. I got it. Vicki had been shot in the head and according to Casey, she pulled the trigger herself. When officers reached her, her finger was still resting on the gun. Despite being rushed to a nearby hospital, Vicki was pronounced dead later that same day. We may never know exactly what they dreamed of once they escaped, whether they planned to hide forever or keep running until they couldn't run anymore. But in the end, Casey saw Vicki as nothing more than a burden. He later told investigators she wasn't cut out for life on the run and would have slowed him down. Most likely, even if she'd survived that day, he would have abandoned her or worse. As for Casey White, he was convicted of first-degree escape and given a life sentence on top of his previous time. He won't be eligible for parole until he's 98 years old, ensuring this violent fugitive stays locked away until his final days.
