Corrections Officer Vicky White, who helped inmate Casey White escape, died from self-inflicted gunshot wounds during her arrest, authorities said.
FLORENCE, Ala. -- Vicky White, the Alabama corrections officer accused of helping a murder suspect escape from jail, has died, the Vanderburgh County Coroners Office said.
White died at Deaconess Hospital and additional information will be available after the autopsy, which is scheduled for Tuesday, the coroner's office said, adding that the sheriff's office can provide investigative information as it becomes available. The car they took off in was later found abandoned in Tennessee, but there was no trace of the pair until U.S. Marshals received a tip Sunday that surveillance photos from an Evansville car wash showed a man who closely resembled Casey White exiting a 2006 Ford F-150 pickup truck, the Marshals Service said. White stands 6 feet, 9 inches tall and weighs about 260 pounds .
Casey White was serving a 75-year prison sentence for attempted murder and other charges at the time of his escape. He was awaiting trial in the stabbing of a 58-year-old woman during a burglary in 2015. If convicted, he could face the death penalty. A warrant was issued on May 2 for Vicky Sue White charging her with permitting or facilitating escape in the first degree.
She sold her house for about half of market value and bought a 2007 orange Ford Edge that she stashed at a shopping center without license plates.
