Florence, Alabama, jail employee Vicky White has died Monday after she was apprehended along with murder suspect Casey White in Evansville, Indiana, which ended a 10-day manhunt, according to the Vanderburgh County Coroners Office.
After Inmate Casey White, 38, and Lauderdale County Assistant Director of Corrections Vicky White, 56, were spotted at a hotel, Casey White and Vicky White led police on a car chase in that ended with a wreck, Indiana authorities said. Vicky White, who was driving the Cadillac, was hospitalized with "very serious" injuries from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to the Vanderburgh County, Indiana, sheriff's office.
"Can't clarify how long they have been in Evansville ... lucky we stumbled upon them today," Vanderburgh County Sheriff Dave Wedding said Monday.
He said the pursuit only lasted a few minutes.
"We got a dangerous man off the street today," Lauderdale County Sheriff Rick Singleton said Monday during a press conference.
Casey White and Vicky White, who are not related, fled the Lauderdale County Jail on April 29.
Authorities said they believe Vicky White willingly participated in the escape, which took place on her last day before retirement.
The duo fled Alabama in a Ford Edge and ditched the car in Williamson County, Tennessee — about a two-hour drive north of Florence — just hours after the jail break.
On Monday, U.S. Marshals said investigators were in Evansville, Indiana, following up on a tip after a 2006 Ford F-150 believed to have been used by Casey White and Vicky White was found abandoned at a car wash on May 3. Police were alerted to the vehicle on Sunday.
At the time of his escape, Casey White was facing two counts of capital murder for allegedly stabbing a woman to death in 2015, according to the U.S. Marshals Service.
Vicky White has been charged with forgery and identity theft for allegedly using an alias to buy the Ford Edge used to facilitate the escape, according to the Lauderdale County Sheriff's Office. A warrant was also issued for Vicky White charging her with permitting or facilitating escape.
No one was injured as a result of the escape, Singleton said.
Vicky White died Monday evening at Deaconess Hospital. An autopsy is scheduled for Tuesday.
Casey White will be brought back to Lauderdale County to be arraigned, Singleton said.
"He's not getting out of this jail again," Singleton said. "I assure you that."
