Escaped Alabama convict Casey Cole White and his jailboss girlfriend Vicky White were found in an Indiana motel 11 days after she broke him out of Lauderdale County jail.
for nearly two years before Vicky broke Casey out of the Lauderdale County jail on April 29, were found hiding in plain sight at a dingy, roadside motel some 300 miles away on Monday.
“They’re criminals. Their plan was faulty and it failed. Thank God,” Vanderburgh County Sheriff David Wedding told reporters during a press conference Tuesday. Surveillance footage caught the pair leaving the jail grounds, acting as if they were heading to a court appointment.Vicky pulled her sheriff’s cruiser into the jail’s sally port at approximately 9:29 a.m. that morning and was captured on surveillance video walking out minutes later with Casey, who was shackled at the hands and feet and in an orange jumpsuit.
At 1:50 p.m. that same day, a passerby called the local sheriff’s office to report the abandoned vehicle, which was towed and impounded later that afternoon. “I walked up to the truck and went, ‘Oh my God, it’s probably this guy from Alabama.’ I walked and looked in the truck because I think he could be dead, passed out, who knows? So I backed up. I opened the door, the keys are in it. I start it up,” Stinson told News Nation.
“The news media is what flushed them out. Y’all doing your job, they were hiding in plain sight, but y’all flushed them out so they were able to get caught.” At the time, Casey had been serving out a 75-year sentence at the Williamson E. Donaldson Correctional Facility, a maximum-security prison, in Bessemer after he was convicted of a 2015 crime spree that involved attempted murder, kidnapping and armed robbery.
