An Alabama murder suspect who surrendered after a weeklong flight with his jailer ended with her mortally wounded in a ditch in Indiana waived extradition on Tuesday.
Jess Powers, director of the Vanderburgh County Cyber Crime Task Force, told The Associated Press that Casey White appeared in court by video and “will be immediately extradited. Most likely he will be moved as quickly as possible.”
Vicky White, 56, the jail official who helped him escape was pronounced dead at a hospital on Monday after Casey White, 38, gave up without a fight in Evansville, Indiana—nearly 300 miles—from where the two fled an Alabama jail. The fugitives had spent more than a week on the run.
