Recovered/Located AL - Casey White, prisoner, & Vicky Sue White (Deceased), CO w/sher office, Lauderdale, 29 Apr'22 *Reward* #6

[CharlestonGal]

Another car question. Was their final car, the gray Cadillac, stolen or bought. I’ve seen both in MSM sources. The last I saw, LE didn’t sound quite sure.

MOO

Here's what the police report says:

"Yesterday, law enforcement personnel from the Evansville Police Department, Indiana State Police, United States Marshals Service, and the Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office began surveilling a local hotel near US 41 and Yokel Road after information lead them to believe that Alabama fugitives Casey White and Vicky White were in the area. The outlaw couple led law enforcement on a several minute long pursuit in a Cadillac that they purchased during their stay in Evansville."

Totally agree, also surprised at how quickly LE was all around that vehicle. They put their lives in great danger protecting the public. LE did not know what the situation was inside the vehicle and they still went to the vehicle not knowing if they were going to be met with gun fire. They wouldn't have known how many guns were in the vehicle, who all had the guns, if there were guns pointed directly at them. If I remember correctly, the windows were tinted.

IMO, these officers deserve a medal. The finest.

They did an amazing job, IMO.

Ohhhhhh, that makes sense.

And it explains why she'd need a ride to work. From the mall area.

I had thought she had a car separate from the orange one.

Maybe she purchased it with jail colors in mind, a nod to prison orange, prior to committing to being a getaway car.

Hard to picture the two of them, stopped in the street, trying to paint an entire vehicle. An unnecessary step anyway -- as the car was towed swiftly without an immediate connection being made.

The tow bought them time.

11 days.... I wonder if anyone still had green fingers.

She sold her car as well as her house before going on the run:

Weeks before the escape she sold her house for $95,000, far below the market value, sold her car and filed for retirement, Keely said.

I don't think so. They abandoned the orange car before the jail even noticed they were gone. I'm not sure why. It could have been a simple matter of a passing highway patrol car giving them the usual side eye and they massively freaked out about it.

And I still haven't seen any information about exactly when the attempt was made to paint the car. Did Vicky have second thoughts about the color and attempt to paint it herself before she even broke him out of jail? Did Casey say, "Babe, I'm not sure orange is the way to go here," and they painted it together? Did they not paint it at all and it was just kids vandalizing a tow lot?

I still have questions about that orange car. IMO

From the pictures, it looks like they were simply attempting to make it a less standout color.

According to this timeline the car was discovered by police and abandoned by Vicky within the first 48 hours:

April 29 at 5.21am: Vicky checks out of a Quality Inn in Florence, Alabama.

8.47am: Transport Van 5 leaves the Lauderdale County jail with seven inmates escorted by two deputies

8.56am: Transport Van 2 leaves the jail with five inmates also escorted by two deputies

9.20am: Assistant Director Vicky White tells a deputy to prepare inmate Casey White for transport to courthouse. Deputy removes White from his cell, takes him to booking and handcuffs him and shackles his legs.

9.41am: Vicky leaves detention center with Casey and they head to the courthouse for a 'mental health evaluation'. She tells the booking officer that she is the only deputy available who is firearm-certified and that she's dropping him off to other deputies at the courthouse. Vicky says she's then going to Med Plus for a personal appointment.

9.49am: Surveillance video shows Vicky's police cruiser parked at the nearby Florence Square shopping center parking lot eight minutes after leaving the jail. 'There was not enough time for them to even attempt to try to come to the courthouse,' Sheriff Rick Singleton said.

11.34am: A Florence Police Department officer spots her cruiser.

3.30pm: Booking officer reports to administration that they've been trying to contact Vicky to check on her, and that her phone is going directly to voice mail. The officer also says that Casey was not returned to the detention center with other inmates.

Approximately 11pm: College Grove, Tennessee, resident Jackie Adams finds Vicky's SUV – with tinted windows and no tags – abandoned by her home. She reports the vehicle to the Williamson County Sheriff's Office, which has it towed.

May 1: US Marshals offer a $10,000 bounty – later increased to $25,000 – for Casey

Casey White's mom says he 'really loved' Vicky White

Speaking exclusively to DailyMail.com, Casey White's mother, Connie Moore, 62, said: 'They were just two people who really loved each other. It's just so sad and I worry [for Casey].

Thanks for this. I thought I'd read she sold her car but I couldn't remember where I saw it. I remember wondering if that's why Vicky stayed at a hotel the night before the escape - she didn't want her mother to see the orange car. IMO

Not sure how CW got this head wound. It was reported in earlier threads that he was grazed by the shot that killed VW. I wonder how he got glazed and what position in the vehicle he was in at the time? And in the googles documents as I posted earlier, a LE stated that CW was bleeding from his head and his blood stained shirt was removed and placed in an evidence bag.

I think that timeline is incorrect as to when Ms Adams found the Edge. The actual police report is somewhere earlier in the thread and I recall the officer responding at something like 1:50 pm. I'll see if I can find it again. In the meantime, there is this:

"The orange/copper Ford Edge was found about 2:20 p.m. April 29 and towed, according to the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office. This was about an hour before Lauderdale County officials realized the assistant director of corrections and the murder suspect were missing."

It does look like it’s from a bullet.

I thought he was taken to the hospital after the crash for medical attention. That just looks like an open wound? No stitches or anything??

He was only grazed. Maybe they just cleaned it, and gave an antibiotic.

I suspect you are probably right that they were attempting to disguise the car, make it a less noticeable color. The truth is that what they did probably created the completely opposite result. Beginning to paint an orange car with cans of green paint, without any sanding or priming, just spraying, as seems likely, probably made the car far more noticeable than it otherwise would have been, especially considering they stopped after only doing a portion of the back and a small bit of one side.

If they had attempted to spray the entire car green using canisters, IMO they’d still be in Tennessee, still spraying away. A bit of a waste of time. Again JMO

Yes: It seems clear that they hit an unexpected snag in their plans and began to act in haste and in a panic.

But I’m very confused because I’ve thought all along that the snag was:

* Realizing from media that police had her alias
* and realizing that a description of the vehicle had been put out

But now I’m told they panicked BEFORE those 2 above ^^
So, the question is —-WHY?

 

[SMK777]

I guess neither of them knew a lot about painting cars, and both were for some reason sent into a state of panic.

 

[DrQ]

IMHO this is sad for so many. Unfortunately, some decisions, choices, and mistakes do not end well. For whatever LE's reason, her tragic death is ruled a suicide and unless something else comes out or changes as a result of the investigation; it is unfortunately a moot point. Sorry for the family and friends. May she now RIP.

A very good article and this quote from Chris Connolly the county DA was about as prescient as a comment could be. “She was a hands-on person,” Connolly said, and she “didn’t have bureaucracy get in the way of making things happen.”

That's a big red flag to me. She was an outlier, getting things done without following procedure. I guess in Lauderdale County jail the ends justify the means.

Exactly. And that is a huge problem here...
A small town jail, a morally compromised long term employee, and a jail full of inmates from the surrounding towns...
Familiarity breeds contempt...
Birds of a feather, flock together ...

Red flag to me! Maybe had same values as CW? Anti government,anti establishment that she worked for?

I read that the Sherriff in Alabama is reporting that no"trial run" took place, so wonder if this is misreporting.

Of course he is...
