This time we mean it (crossedfingers)
After prison guard Vicky White absconded from an Alabaman jail with convicted felon Casey White, a manhunt was set up to capture the runaway duo. It ended less than two weeks' later, with her death and his surrender to police.
White, 38, was already serving 75 years for violent crimes in 2015, and was further charged with murder for which he was awaiting trial.
Lauderdale County Sheriff Rick Singleton said earlier that the couple's vehicle crashed after a police chase in Evansville, Indiana, at which point Casey White surrendered. "We got a dangerous man off the street today. He is never going to see the light of day again," he said.
That's pretty much what they said last time!
Reports of White and White note that they're not related: Vicky White…and Casey White (no relation)
. They were having sexual relations, but that doesn't count.
Officials say that once he is officially arraigned on his new escape charges, he will be sent to the prison system, which is - unlike jails - traditionally reserved for convicted criminals. "In a county jail, you've got people coming and going all the time," Lauderdale County Sheriff Rick Singleton told Alabama's News19. "You don't have that situation in the prisons." The duo vanished from a prison [sic] in Lauderdale County, Alabama, on 29 April.
Actually they had disappeared from Lauderdale County jail. A county jail where, as we have it on the good authority of no less than the county sheriff: you've got people coming and going all the time
. In fact, as Auntie Beeb had already earlier reported, and repeated later in this same article, they were supposedly leaving the jail for White's routine, and bogus, pre-trial psychological assessment.
Do keep up, Auntie.
