New charges against Vicky White

Authorities filed new charges Monday afternoon against Alabama corrections officer Vicky White in connection with Casey White's escape, the Lauderdale County Sheriff's Department announced.

The court order shows that Vicky White is facing charges of forgery and identity theft.

Vicky White, who was Lauderdale County's deputy director of corrections, broke Casey White out of the county jail on April 29, saying she was taking him in for a mental health evaluation, which authorities later learned had never been scheduled. .

She then said that she was going to seek medical attention after leaving the inmate because she was not feeling well.

The vehicle was located on May 6 in Tennessee.

The van had been abandoned in a forest without any identifying information the same day the pair escaped, indicating they drove about two hours north from the Florence, Alabama, jail to Williamson County, Tennessee.

"Now we know where the car is, we know which way they went," the sheriff said.

"We're trying to canvass the area for any witnesses, also trying to investigate, see if there were any stolen vehicles reported in that area during that time."

Authorities believe the vehicle may have had mechanical problems that caused it to make an abrupt stop in the area.

Vicky White, 56, and Casey White, 38, who are not related, have known each other since at least 2020 and had developed a romantic relationship, the sheriff previously told CNN.

He now has an active warrant for his arrest for allegedly intentionally allowing or facilitating escape.

She is no longer an employee of the sheriff's office, the office said, adding that although Friday was her last day of work, her retirement papers were never finalized.

Investigators believe Vicky White had a large amount of money when the couple disappeared, Singleton said Friday, adding that authorities are working to find out more details.
