Corrections Officer Missing in Action With Inmate

Law enforcement officers in Lauderdale County, Alabama, are still hunting for a missing female corrections officer and one of her homicidal guests. They both happen to have the same last name but it’s a common one and just a coincidence.

Officer missing since Friday

Everyone is out looking for Vicki White, assistant director of corrections at the Lauderdale County Sheriff’s Office, last seen with inmate Casey White around 9:30 a.m. Friday morning.

Everything about the incident is unusual. The corrections officer was supposedly transporting an accused murderer to the county courthouse for a mental evaluation, Sheriff Rick Singleton relates.

There are more than a few problems with that simple and seemingly routine transfer. Vicki White “told a guard she was going to drop off Casey White at the courthouse and seek medical care because she wasn’t feeling well.

The officer and the inmate are not related, reports note. Vicki never made it to the clinic she was supposed to check in with. That’s when the department learned that no “mental evaluation was scheduled for Friday and Casey White was never dropped off at the courthouse.” That’s grim news.

Her 2013 Ford Taurus patrol car was “spotted in a shopping center parking lot around 11 a.m.” Someone on a lunch break called it in.

They still didn’t put two and two together and realize anyone was missing “until several hours later.” They only freaked out when another officer at the jail “tried to reach her, but her phone kept going straight to voicemail.

Didn’t follow protocol

Once they started getting nervous about their co-worker, the staff suddenly realized that Casey White had not been returned to the jail. The corrections officer, they relate, “knew the protocol on prisoner transport.

Even so, she broke it. “Casey White was serving 75 years for crime spree he committed in Limestone County in 2015, as well as a 2015 murder, which he confessed to in 2019,” Sheriff Singleton confirmed. Back in 2020 “Casey intended to escape and take a person hostage but his plan was discovered.

That’s when a “policy was put in place mandating that two sworn deputies should be with him at all times, including during transportation to court.” Since Vicki “coordinates all transports from the detention center to court,” she knew the procedure well.

They’re considering all the options at this point, including the possibility that “the corrections officer helped Casey White escape.” They have some scenario’s they’re exploring.

According to Sheriff Singleton, either the officer was overpowered and kidnapped or she assisted the inmate in escaping. If she did help, the question is did she do it on her own or was she blackmailed or threatened into it? They do know she’s been a model employee for a long time. “Whether she assisted him or not, we don’t know, and we won’t address that until we have absolute proof that that’s what happened.

For now, they’re giving her the benefit of the doubt and “assuming at this point that she was taken against her will, unless we can absolutely prove otherwise.” They’re afraid for her safety. Vicky “was armed with a 9mm handgun, which means we are assuming he is armed. Knowing the inmate, I think she’s in danger whatever the circumstances. He was in jail for capital murder, and he had nothing to lose.
