The U.S. Marshals are offering $10,000 for information that helps capture the escaped Alabama inmate who went missing Friday along with sheriff’s deputy transporting him to court — for an appointment that was never on the books.
Inmate Casey Cole White and Lauderdale County Sheriff’s Office Assistant Director of Corrections Vicki White were last seen at about 9:30 a.m. Friday when they left Lauderdale County Jail for the inmate’s court appearance. The officer was driving the alleged murderer by herself in a police car..
“She was alone which was a strict violation of policy,” Lauderdale County Sheriff Rick Singleton said a press conference Friday.
A manhunt was initiated Friday for the two Whites, who are not related.
Casey White, 38, had been charged with two counts of capital murder, and was already in jail for 2015 crime spree.
He “is believed to be a serious threat to the corrections officer and the public,” U.S. marshal Marty Keely said in a statement.
The vehicle Vicki White was transporting the inmate in was found in a shopping center parking lot on Friday around 11 a.m., and the sheriff’s office said it was not aware that the two were missing until mid-afternoon.
Single said Friday that the officer told colleagues she bringing Casey White to a mental health evaluation — but there was never an evaluation on the court’s schedule.
She had told colleagues that after dropping the inmate off she was going to seek medical attention because she didn’t feel well, Singleton said.
