Casey White, 39, who escaped prison last year with the help of a jail official who later shot herself in the head rather than face arrest, according to authorities, has been sentenced to life in prison.

Alabama inmate Casey White, who escaped from jail in April 2022 with the help of jail official Vicky White, has been sentenced to life in prison.

Casey White pleaded guilty to escaping prison with the help of Vicky White in April 2022. Officials say he will not be prosecuted for Vicky's murder.

Casey White, 38, claimed just hours before his court appearance that he had killed a woman and a baby while on the run with his prison guard lover Vicky White, 56.

White, 38, appeared at Lauderdale County Courthouse in Florence, Alabama, on Thursday, charged with first-degree escape after the incident in April 2022.

U.S. marshals and Vanderburgh County sheriffs officers were quietly tailing Casey and Vicky White outside Motel 41 in Evansville. Then all hell broke loose.
