Authorities issued a warrant on Monday for a female correctional officer in Alabama who disappeared together with a man jailed on a capital murder charge.
Vicky White is accused of “permitting or facilitating” the escape of 38-year-old Casey Cole White, Lauderdale County Sheriff Rick Singleton said during a Monday news conference.
The 56-year-old assistant director of corrections was last seen leaving the Lauderdale County Detention Center on April 29 to bring White for a mental health evaluation at a nearby courthouse, the sheriff’s office said. The two then disappeared and authorities later found that there was no evaluation scheduled that day.
