Investigators found footage of White shopping at a department store and an “adult store,” Singleton said, adding that she “apparently had a change of clothes” for inmate Casey White.
“It just tells us it was very well planned and calculated,” Singleton told CNN’s Biana Golodriga on Monday. “Apparently she planned this escape well to letter T.”
Earlier, investigators released a video showing Vicki White at the Quality Inn in Florence, where she stayed the night before the escape more than a week ago.
Vicky White, Lauderdale County Assistant Director of Corrections, released Casey White from County Jail on April 29, saying she was taking him to a mental health assessment that authorities later learned was never planned. She then said she would receive medical treatment after leaving the prisoner because she was not feeling well.
The two have not been seen since. The patrol car, which the policeman and the prisoner took from the prison, was found abandoned in the parking lot of a shopping center. Vicky White’s prison keys, radio, and handcuffs were found inside. Authorities believe the couple left the plot in a different vehicle: Vicki White’s 2007 Ford SUV, which she parked the night before.
The vehicle was then spotted on May 6 at a towing site in Tennessee. The car was abandoned in the woods without any identification on the same day the duo fled, indicating that they drove about two hours north of the prison in Florence, Alabama, to Williamson County, Tennessee.
“Now we know where the car is, we know which way they went,” the sheriff said. “We are trying to inspect the witness area, we are also trying to investigate, to see if any stolen vehicles have been reported in this area during this time.
Authorities believe the car may have had mechanical problems that led to a sudden stop in the area.
Investigators are unaware of where the couple went after that, the sheriff said on Monday.
“We have no information or information on how they left this area,” Singleton said. “There are all sorts of possibilities. We are looking at every possible scenario we can think of,” the sheriff said when asked if anyone could help them.
It is possible that, given the time they were on the run, they are no longer in the country, the sheriff said.
“This is something we are also considering and trying to follow up, especially with the Mexican and Canadian authorities,” Singleton said.
Vicky White, 56, and Casey White, 38, who have not been relatives, have known each other since at least 2020 and have developed a romantic relationship, the sheriff told CNN earlier this week. Before they disappeared, Vicki White announced that she planned to retire and sell her home at a price well below market.
She now has an active arrest warrant for allegedly allowing or facilitating first-degree escape. She is no longer working at the sheriff’s office, the office said, adding that Friday was her last working day and that her retirement documents had never been finalized.
Investigators believe Vicki White had a large sum of money when the couple went missing, Singleton said on Friday, adding that authorities were working to find out more details.
Vicki White’s mother has been “extremely cooperative” with investigators, Singleton said Monday.
“Like us, she is at a complete loss. “Obviously she didn’t know her daughter’s country and she’s very upset,” he said.
Officials share photos and awards
The couple must be considered dangerous and could be armed with weapons, including an AR-15 rifle, pistols and a rifle, the US Marshals Service said.
The agency said Casey White threatened his ex-girlfriend and sister in 2015 that if he ever escaped, he would “kill them and wanted the police to kill him.” Authorities have warned the prisoner of “potential targets” and taken steps to protect them, the marshals’ office said.
Investigators are also concerned that Casey White may not be taking drugs to “control temper and the like,” Singleton said Monday.
“He has some problems he’s taking medication for, and when he stops taking his medication, I’m told he can be extremely aggressive,” Singleton said.
The office also released several photos of Casey White and his tattoos, as well as photos of what Vicki White, who was blonde when she disappeared with darker and shorter hair, would look like.
The agency is offering up to $ 10,000 for information leading to the arrest of the prisoner and up to $ 5,000 for the police officer. On Friday, Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey announced an additional $ 5,000 each for information leading to the capture and arrest of Vicki White and Casey White.
