Multiple law enforcement agencies are continuing their search for a murder suspect who escaped an Alabama jail by apparently feigning a trip to the courthouse with a corrections officer, according to authorities.
"Indications are" that Vicki White, who has worked for the sheriff's office for 25 years, assisted in the escape, but it is unclear whether she did so willingly or if Casey White coerced her into doing so"by threatening her and/or her family or other means," the sheriff's office said in a statement.
Singleton announces during a press conference that it was a"strict violation of policy" for Vicki White to be alone with an inmate, adding that Casey White should have been escorted by two deputies, given his charges. Casey White was subsequently transferred to a state prison, where he remained until early this year, and would return to the Lauderdale County facility for court appearances related to the murder, Singleton said.Vicki White is"an exemplary employee" who is well-liked by all her colleagues, Singleton said. She interacts with inmates several times a day as part of her job, Singleton said, adding that he is unaware of any kind of relationship between Vicki White and Casey White.: The U.S.
