Former Prison Official Who Helped Inmate Escape Dead After Self-Inflicted Gunshot Wound

The Alabama prison official responsible for helping inmate Casey White escape and leading law enforcement on a manhunt died in a hospital Monday evening after shooting herself. 

Vicky White, along with Casey White, were captured in Evansville, Indiana, Monday when the truck they were driving reportedly crashed during a pursuit. 

“She was hospitalized earlier with self-inflicted gunshot wounds after being taken into custody following a car chase in Evansville, Indiana, US Marshals previously told CNN. Her wounds were ‘very serious,’ [Vanderburgh County Sheriff Dave Wedding] said,” according to CNN. 

As The Daily Wire previously reported, the escape plan was “well thought out” and the pair were thought to be armed with an AR-15, handguns, and a rifle. Casey White was in prison after confessing to fatally stabbing a woman in 2015.
