FLORENCE, Ala. -- Authorities on Monday continued the hunt for
an "extremely dangerous" murder suspect and issued an arrest
warrant for the Alabama jail official they now believe helped
him escape.

Inmate Casey Cole White, 38, was shackled and handcuffed when he
and Vicky White, the facility's assistant director of
corrections, left the Lauderdale County Detention Center in
Florence, Alabama, on Friday morning. They have not been seen
since, although the patrol vehicle that the pair used when
leaving the detention center was found at a nearby shopping
center parking lot after their absence was discovered.

Authorities have no idea where they are, although the inmate
should be recognizable by his size. He stands 6 feet, 9 inches
(2.06 meters) tall and weighs about 260 pounds (118 kilograms).
Authorities warned that anyone seeing the pair should not
approach them.

"We consider both of them dangerous and, in all probability,
both individuals are armed," U.S. Marshal Marty Keely said at a
press conference Monday. He noted that Casey White "will stand
out" because of his size, even if he has changed his appearance.

Lauderdale County Sheriff Rick Singleton said Monday that they
had issued an arrest warrant for Vicky White, 56, on charges of
permitting or allowing an escape. She is not related to Casey
White, who was serving a 75-year prison sentence and awaiting
trial on a capital murder charge.

Vicky White told co-workers she was taking him to the courthouse
for a mental health evaluation. But Singleton later said no such
evaluation was scheduled. She also violated a policy that
required more than one official to be involved in transporting
inmates, a rule that officials emphasized for White because he
had previously tried to escape, Singleton said. The sheriff said
video showed the pair left the jail and went straight to that
parking lot.

"We know she participated, whether she did that willingly or if
she was coerced, threatened somehow to participate, not really
sure. We know for sure she did participate," Singleton said.

"Casey White, as you've heard me say over and over and over is
an extremely dangerous person and we need to get him located and
get him off the street," Singleton said.

Casey White was serving time for a string of crimes that
included attempted murder, robbery and burglary. While in
prison, he had confessed to the 2015 stabbing death of a 58-year-
old woman, authorities said, which caused him to be brought to
the Lauderdale County jail for court proceedings. The sheriff
said they believe White plotted an earlier escape from the jail
in 2020 when they found a makeshift knife.
He could face the death penalty if convicted of the capital
murder charge. The U.S. Marshals Service is offering up to
$10,000 for information.

Singleton said Vicky White had been an exemplary employee and
jail employees are "just devastated." "This is not the Vicky
White we know, by any stretch of the imagination," the sheriff
said.

Vicky White had planned to retire and Friday was to be her last
day. He said she had sold her home about a month ago and "talked
about going to the beach."

The sheriff said they had no leads at this point on where the
two are located.

"If we knew where they were at, we would be there and not here,"
Singleton said.

As an assistant director for corrections, Vicky White moved
throughout the county detention facility and had multiple
opportunities every day to be in contact with any given inmate,
the sheriff said. Her job duties also included coordinating
transport of inmates.

Vicky White's mother, Pat Davis, told WAAY she was in shock and
scared for her daughter.

"As a mother, I didn't know how to act because I thought at
first it was a mistake. And then when I found out for sure it
was, it was just disbelief," says Pat Davis. She told the
station that "we just want her back" and found it difficult to
believe her daughter would help an inmate escape.

"She's never done anything, I bet she's never even had a
speeding ticket," Pat Davis said.

Lauderdale County District Attorney Chris Connolly said he was
also shocked. He last spoke to Vicky White on Thursday about
transporting an inmate with a broken ankle to get medical care,
and nothing seemed unusual.

"She is somebody I would have trusted with most anything. She
was one of those people you could call if you needed something
to happen at that jail. She was the go-to person," Connolly said.

The U.S. Marshals Service said anyone with information about
Casey White's location or Vicky White's disappearance can call
the service at 1-800-336-0102. Anonymous tips may also be
submitted through the U.S. Marshals Tip App.
