An Alabama corrections deputy and suspect charged with capital murder have been missing since Friday morning after leaving the jail for a court appointment that did not exist, said authorities.
Lauderdale County Sheriff's Office
Lauderdale County Sheriff's Office employee Vicky White was last seen escorting inmate Casey White to the local courthouse on Friday around 9:40 a.m. for an"alleged mental health evaluation," Sheriff Rick Singleton told reporters.Vicky White was also alone with the inmate, which is a"strict violation of policy," he said, noting that Casey White should have been escorted by two deputies given his charges. The two are not related, the sheriff said.
Vicky White told a booking officer that she was going to the doctor after dropping off the inmate, but she never made that appointment either, authorities said.The sheriff's office did not realize the two were missing until 3:30 p.m. Friday, when the booking officer reported he was unable to get ahold of Vicky White and her phone was going to voicemail. They then realized that the inmate was not back at the detention center, either, Singleton said.
"Did she assist him in escaping? That's obviously a possibility," Singleton said."We're assuming at this point that she was taken against her will unless we can absolutely prove otherwise."
