So I read through one whole thread at lightening speed so I'm sorry I didn't upvote your great comments.

I'm glad it's over without further loss of life but I feel inexplicably sad over Vicky's death. It should never have gotten to the point it did where the incarcerated knew more about what was going on in that jail than the staff. What she did was very wrong but she didn't operate in a vacuum. Processes that should be in place in a well run, disciplined facility would have stymied any attempt to escort a prisoner free and clear in the manner she did. If anything, a review of management and procedures needs to be done to identify the flaws and oversights. Management are not without blame.

I doubt Vicky was ever going to be that happy upbeat person living on a beach flirting with the bartender while sipping silly drinks. Based on anecdotal information she appeared to have a reclusive nature and didn't go out of her way to engage others. She literally had a captive audience with the incarcerated. But she was loyal to people in her sphere including her ex husband.

I just hope her mother and even her ex-MIL can weather the pain and confusion they must feel right now. Because they are also victims of this nightmare. What a void she must leave in their lives.

It appears CW did not go off the deep end during his brief taste of freedom. If he was off his meds his behavior doesn't follow what those who know him said he would do. She still had the gun, she was driving, he didn't ditch her and take the money and he gave himself up.
He didn’t ditched her yet but if on the road with her for a longer period of time and off his meds…who is to say. In the long run imo after the honeymoon stage things probably would have gotten nasty.

Discovery documents as follows, my best guess: a mess of lingerie, sweaty men’s clothes, personal hygiene items (toothpaste spilling onto counter), empty snack food bags, a vibrator or two, a mostly unused bag of socks, contents of a wallet but no wallet itself, melted ice bucket If this motel stocked them, fast food receipts, empty alcohol bottles on nightstand and in trash and surprising in mix (like a Woodford, a six pack of Bud and a bottle of $15 white wine), a hairbrush, makeup bag, few days’ worth of men’s Kohl’s clothes mostly tags still attached, sweatshirts, mom jeans, mostly new Axe deodorant, evidence of heavy shower usage, sheets that no one wants to touch absent of nitrite gloves and industrial garbage bags, and one additional pair of prudent lady walking shoes in size 7. I think the cash was mostly still with them in the car at the end along with the guns. Let’s see how I do.

Yes, let's!!

JMVHO.
 
It is likely that she would have spent up to 10 years in prison and then, having paid her debt to society, she would have been free.

I think it is quite understandable to be sad at VW's death. She seemed to be liked and admired by just about everyone who knew her. And it is certainly possible to want to hold someone accountable for wrongdoing, but at the same time have compassion for them. The two are not at odds.
Absolutely. I guess it isn’t all black and white.
 
I'm flabbergasted by the car wash thing.
Manager said he saw that pickup truck several times when he looked over the course of the day, and didn't he say it was there the next morning too? (I have to watch again) Obviously someone is going to wonder why it's just sitting there at the car wash. Didn't he also say it had Tennessee plates? even more noticeable. Plus, there's video surveillance.

Why did they not think of parking/dumping that pickup where it wouldn't catch someone's eye, where CW could wait till VW picked him up with the Cadillac?
And, they were in that town for several days.
 
At 2:38
US Marshal Chad Hunt says that they ( VW and CW ) collectively purchased all 3 vehicles involved!

Wait, so the truck wasn’t stolen then? The initial reports we got was that it was stolen from the area where the edge broke down. Or, did somebody else steal it and Vicky and Casey bought it from that person?

Interesting that they bought the Cadillac too. Also he said in the video that the intel they got was that the 2 were planning to stay in Evansville for some time. I can’t imagine their plan was to stay at the motel 6 for months on end? Lots of unanswered questions
 
I think the truck had Tennessee plates, but did anyone notice the plate on the Cadillac?

So she would have paid cash for each and used an alias?

I have to think the truck and Cadillac must have been in the tens of thousands $$$. Did she just pull that out of her purse?

How far in advance were they bought?

And yet, they were staying in hotels in cities.
 
I’m the opposite of you. I feel like part of me slightly identifies with her. I have a husband and children and I also prefer a low risk lifestyle so I’m not saying I would ever remotely find myself in her situation. Definitely wouldn’t work at a prison. But as far as not having a big circle of friends or feeling important or worthwhile… I feel like I am not in a position to judge her for feeling those things, if she felt them, having always been a little like that myself. The sheriff says that her coworkers are struggling to cope with her death. I hope they let her know how much they cared when she was alive.
I'm the same age as Vicky White, and have lived most of my adult life as a true loner, with almost noone I would consider a close friend and with only one remaining family member. So, in some ways, I can relate to Vicky's lonely life. I do have work friends...and I have a bowling team, so I do get to interact with others but away from all of that, I am alone. None of us can know exactly how Vicky felt about life but I can tell you how I approach life as someone who spends almost all of their non-work time completely by myself.

Like Vicky, I have a stressful job (although mine is probably not as stressful as hers)...so, when I get home, after dealing with people and their issues all day, I enjoy the quiet and solitude, so I can concentrate on my own personal issues. I could never imagine having a hectic home life, with a spouse and even children and having to deal with all of that...but most people my age do have families, with children who by this time are full-grown, and have put years of effort into making their children's lives as happy and satisfying as they possibly could. I imagine that Vicky was content with taking care of others...first, her ex-husband in his last days, then turning her attention to her elderly mother, because she was a good person. And while satisfied, perhaps in her mind, she kept wanting something different, to experience something different in her life.

Vicky had just filed for retirement; I am on a countdown now, with a little more than 2000 days to go until I can retire and I am looking forward to it. Like Vicky, my retirement scenario involves spending my final days on a beach, sitting on the back deck, watching the waves, hearing the surf, relaxing with a book and a pot of coffee. Unlike Vicky, however, I cannot ever envision a scenario where I would give up safe and conservative final years doing what I want to do, when I want to do them, for a life on the run with someone of questionable qualities that could only end up with one sad ending. That part, to me, is the biggest mystery in all of this. Why this whole escape plan happened in the first place.
