Guard Helps A Killer Inmate Escape Prison

It's the 29th of April, 2022. CCTV. records prison supervisor Vicki enter. through a back door. Half a minute. later, she comes back out with a. prisoner, Casey White, a 6'9 giant of a. criminal serving 75 years for attempted. murder. They quickly leave in the car as. police [music] scramble to make sense of. the situation. Vicki, a prison. supervisor with a two decade long career. and perfect record, just disappeared.

with a dangerous criminal. Police. assumed that she was forced or. manipulated into helping him escape. But. that's when new evidence came to light, showing that she might have planned the. entire thing. As a nationwide manhunt. began, police would realize the rabbit. [music] hole went deeper than anyone. expected, leading them down a dark path, ending with [music] Vicki found dead. with a bullet in her head. Vicki, stay with us. Vicki,

it's April 29th, 2022, and prison. officer Vicki has just told her work. colleagues that she's taking a prisoner. to a psychological evaluation at a local. courthouse. But something isn't right, as she's transporting the prisoner. alone, despite rules mandating prisoners. must be escorted by two officers at a. time. But because of her senior position. [music] as a supervisor, nobody stops. her. And it would be 6 hours before.

police realize that Vicki and the. prisoner are never coming back. Desperate for clues, police start. looking into the man that Vicki escaped. with. It was Casey White, a man serving. 75 years in prison for domestic. violence, home invasion, murder, and. brutally attacking a man with an ax. But. there was one crime that stood out to. police even more. 7 years prior to this, Casey had abused and manipulated his. then girlfriend to a point where she.

tried to escape from Casey's vicious. hands. After they successfully made it. to her friend's house, Casey would break. into the house with two guns and full. intent to murder them both. Luckily, they both escaped and survived his. vicious attack. But that's when Casey. fled the scene and began a series of. carjackings across several states until. finally getting into a tense standoff. with multiple police officers. Casey, put the gun down. Let me see your. hand, man. Put the gun down, J.

Put the gun down, buddy. Put the guns down. Just Just relax a little bit. Is that her? Hey, G. Kathy. Yes, sir. I will get you a thumb drive. if you'll be still. Just be calm. You don't ain't got no gun on you, dude. No, you ain't got he's got pug. It's unusual, but the cops rolled a. drink and a pack of cigarettes towards. Casey, hoping this would calm him down. and avoid a shootout. Miraculously, this.

actually worked and the cops were able. to move in and make an arrest. His. interrogation gave cops an even clearer. view into just how insane this man was. every damn way just a killer. You ever. since I couldn't wait no longer? I had. to do it tonight. Do you regret what you did tonight? I agree. I didn't kill him. Police now had a clear picture of who. Vicki just helped escape prison. But how. does Vicki fit into all of this? She.

works at a completely different prison, and there's no plans for Casey to ever. see outside these walls again. Well, one. year later, Casey confessed to a murder, resulting in him being moved to a. different prison. This kicked off a. series of events that would eventually. result in [music] Vickiy's death. The. murder that Casey confessed to was a. 4-year-old cold case. It's unclear why. Casey owned up to it now, but he was. able to give specific details that. nobody but the killer could have known. And after a short trial, he was quickly.

transported to a new prison, the same. one where Vicki worked. Vicki is 56 and. has been divorced for several years and. put her heart and soul into her job. She. was a model employee and popular among. her colleagues. But her life had become. boring and lonely. She wanted a change. And when Casey showed up, that's exactly. what she got. They slowly began to talk. more and developed a connection. They. bonded over their shared last name and.

began to think that they were destined. to be together. She started coming in on. her days off and was noticeably happier. Despite having a great life on paper, Vicki had become enchanted by her. feelings for Casey and was ready to. throw it all away to be with a dangerous. criminal. But how can this happen? Well, it turns out it's not as rare as you. might think. Some people are attracted. to dangerous people. They know they. could kill them at any moment, but feel. special knowing that they choose not to.

On top of that, Vicki had started to. feel trapped in her day-to-day life and. as though she had nothing to live for. If she could make a break with Casey, it'd at least be exciting, even if it. did mean throwing everything away. While. Casey was serving at Lauderdale, Vicki. allowed him unrestricted access to parts. of jail that prisoners aren't normally. allowed to see, including areas that. aren't covered by security cameras. Many. speculate this is where the pair [music]. were intimate with each other and formed. their plan to escape. Even at this.

point, Vicki still had no idea that this. would turn out to be the [music] worst. mistake of her entire life. 3 days. before their escape, they decided to do. a test run. after Vicki told her. colleagues that Casey had an appointment. with a judge at the courthouse. Of. course, there was no appointment and. they just sat in her patrol car for 9. minutes before returning. But now they. know this works and they're ready to. make preparations for the real thing. 2. days before their escape, they're.

spotted on camera passing notes. It's. thought that this was them discussing. the final part of their escape plan, but. by the time this footage was discovered, it was already too late. By April 29th, 2022, everything was in place and. they're ready to make their escape. As. Vicki holds a senior post at the prison, she has certain powers that she's about. to take advantage of. She arranges to. send 12 inmates and five deputies to. court on the day of the escape, leaving. her as the last remaining officer in the.

prison with transport privileges. She. then tells her bosses that Casey has to. be taken for a mental health evaluation. Looking at the surveillance footage, it's clear something was up. Vicki has. her firearm with her, something that is. strictly forbidden inside the prison. walls. She's also walking in front of. Casey instead of behind him, showing she. trusts him not to harm her. By helping. Casey to escape, esteemed prison officer. Vicki has thrown everything she had away.

and in one pivotal moment has become a. criminal. Vickiy's always been a good girl. I went. to school with. Got to be. other people involved and Vickiy's just. a scapegoat. You knew her, you loved her. I. feel like if she had anything to do with. it, it was definitely love. Vicki and Casey casually walk out of the. prison into a patrol car and drive away. to freedom. It took 6 hours before. anyone noticed they're missing. When the. prison calls the courthouse to see. what's taking so long, they're told that.

there is no appointment and they come to. the horrible realization that Casey has. made a break for freedom. To evade the. authorities, they quickly ditch the. patrol car and flee the state. And the. cops now have no clue where they are, where they're going, or how to find. them, marking the start of an 11-day. manhunt that will span the nation. On. day one of Vicki and Casey's escape, the. cops try to find clues at Vickiy's home, but she's nowhere to be seen. In fact,

she doesn't even own the house anymore. As part of her plan, she sold her house. for extremely cheap. With the money, she. bought vehicles, guns, and most. suspiciously, men's clothing. This is. the first indication the cops have that. Vicki doesn't intend on coming back and. is ready to start a new life with Casey. Things don't get any better for. detectives when the patrol vehicle they. use to escape is found abandoned at a. local shopping mall. And even worse, there's no surveillance footage covering.

that area of the parking lot. So, they. don't even know which direction they. went. But on day two of the manhunt, a. tip off from her family blows this case. wide open as it's revealed Vicki has. been renting a storage unit. Police are. able to locate the storage unit and. discover that she was renting it with a. burner phone. But despite their best. effort to track this new number, the. cops came up with nothing. But the. existence of this new phone is the first. solid evidence that cops have showing.

Vicki planned this all along and was. actually a willing participant instead. of a hostage. You get the sense they were actually the. discovered. He was not forcing her in. any way, right? No, he was not forcing her. It. was a mutual relationship. You'd think. that this would help the investigation, but things only get more insane and. confusing from here on out. After. realizing that they're essentially back. to square one, the cops return to the. shopping mall where they found the. abandoned patrol car and decide to comb. through all the surveillance footage.

from the days leading up to the event. That's when they spot Vicki a few days. before the escape parking a car in a. nearby parking lot. And this isn't her. usual car either. It's one she bought. only a couple days earlier, a 2007 Ford. Edge that the cops quickly realized had. to be their getaway vehicle. But when. police went back to the parking lot and. the supposed getaway vehicle was still. there, they realized that Vicki had left. a decoy. Police had just lost their only. clue while giving Vicki and Casey a.

5-day head start. But since they. abandoned the Ford, [music] the cops. assumed that they have to have found. another vehicle in the area. And lo and. behold, they quickly picked up another. lead. A homeowner nearby told them he. sold his Ford F-150 pickup truck to a. man who approached his house on the day. Vicki and Casey went missing. That man. is described as being around 6 ft 9 in. tall and looked exactly like the picture. he was shown. Now all they have to do is. find that Ford F-150 [music] and bring.

this manhunt to an end. And thanks to. another lead, they're closing in. On day. six, the owner of a car wash in Indiana. noticed something strange. A Ford F-150. had been parked in one of the cleaning. bays for an unusual amount of time, and. he suspects this vehicle has been. abandoned. Unfortunately, this is before. a search was initiated for the truck, but something's still not right. This. pickup truck is far too nice to have. been dumped by anyone sane, and the.

owner quickly grew suspicious. In order. to find out, he checks out the car wash. surveillance footage and what he finds. will help the cops finally capture their. two fugitives. That's Casey getting out. of the pickup and he's acting very. strangely. He's waiting for Vicki and. she's in that car driving just out of. shot. When Casey gets in the new. vehicle, leaving their pickup and. driving off, the owner knows they're up. to no good and calls 911. There's the. truck been sitting in my bay since.

yesterday at 3:00. I looked at my camera. and the guy kind of suspicious. It's a. Ford F-150 four-door truck. It's blue in. color. It's got Tennessee license plates. on it. And I've got him on camera. The next day, cops arrive at the car. wash and initiate a search of the truck. This is a return to a Dodge. Yep. Yeah.

With nothing to go off of, the cops. quickly leave the scene and the pickup. is towed away. It takes 4 days for this. vital lead to get back to detectives. But when it does, they drop everything. and head straight to Evansville on day. 10 of the hunt. They're due to arrive at. the car wash at 9:00 a.m. but fail to. show up on time, frustrating the car. wash owner so much that he takes matters. into his own hands and calls the local. press. So then 9:30 they're not here. So I said.

I get on the phone with Fox News. I. said, "Y'all want a story?" "Yeah, we. like the story." Said, "I got one." So I. got a convict over here at my car. I got. him on camera. He said, "You talking. about the one in Kentucky?" I said, "No, I'm talking about the one in Alabama. with the girl." Said, "Okay, we'll be. right there." They showed up. They got. there 10 minutes before the marshals. US marshals arrive during the media. frenzy. And when they take a look at the. surveillance footage, they realize they. found the car Vicky and Casey could. still be driving, a Cadillac, and one.

that Vicki and Casey think is completely. unknown to the cops. It seems like their. days on the run are numbered. But even. with the leads they have, they come up. with nothing. And the cops are starting. to realize their fugitives could be. anywhere in the country. But as it turns. out, they're closer to home than anyone. thinks. Back in Evansville on day 11, a. cop is on his way home from a long shift. when he sees a familiar-looking vehicle.

parked outside a Motel 41. It looks like. the same Cadillac from the car wash and. he hastily takes down the license plate. The problem is the license plate of the. Cadillac seen at the car wash was never. seen. So they have no way of knowing if. it's the same vehicle, but they do have. the license plate of the recovered. F-150. So grasping its straws, they. decide to run that through their license. plate reader. And when they do, they. strike [music] gold. Several traffic. cameras have picked up the F-150. And. following it in nearly every shot is a. Cadillac. A Cadillac whose license plate.

perfectly matched the one at Motel 41. right in front of them. Finally, by. sheer luck, the cops have found their. fugitives. All they have to do now is. bring them in. First, deputy marshals. find strategic positions around the. motel. They're all in plain clothes and. unmarked vehicles, hoping to be as. covert as possible. But while the cops. surround them, Vicki and Casey are in. room 150 watching the TV in horror right. as the discovery of the Ford F-150 hits. the news. The plan was to bring Vicki.

and Casey in quietly. But before they. get a chance to put their plan into. action, Vicki walks out of the hotel. room and throws a bag into the Cadillac. She's followed by Casey. And even though. they're in disguise, there's no. mistaking Casey White's massive frame. Casey gets behind the wheel, and the. Cadillac takes off. The cop's plan has. been completely foiled once again. But. they've got a backup. They're going to. follow them and try to box them in to. avoid a confrontation. But before they. get a chance, they realize they've been. spotted. Casey turns onto US Highway 41.

[music] and hits the accelerator, taking. the cops on a chase across traffic and. through parking lots until he manages to. make a break for freedom by driving. straight through an open field. At. around the same time, police dispatch. receives a call from none other than. Vicki herself, and it gives you an idea. of how terrifying this chase really is. Airbags are on. A police vehicle forces Casey to drive.

straight into a ditch, and this pursuit. is brought to a sudden halt, but it's. far from over as cops know the pair are. armed and could open fire at any point. in some kind of Bonnie and Clyde. inspired shootout. Crash out. Crash out.

[crying]. Where's he? Please check my wife. It's my wife. She's so That's a best. woman in the world right there. Please. That's the best woman in the world, Vicki. I'm so sorry, baby. I'm so sorry, baby. Anybody in this world don't.

deserve it. She don't. When she herself, it hit me. But y'all ain't going to. believe me. I'm going to say I killed. her just like y everybody else. Finally, after 11 days, the manhunt has. come to an end. And they've got Casey. unharmed in handcuffs. But Vicki met a. much more devastating end. Just two. weeks ago, she was an upstanding member. of society, an esteemed prison officer, respected by those around her. Now she's. a fugitive, laying in a criminal's. stolen car, conscious, but with.

devastating injuries. She. still got it in her hand. Yes, she got a gun right here. medic. go in. Well, I think we can reach in and get. the gun.

in the windshield. See if it'll open. Good idea. We got We got cover. Yeah. It's opening. It's opening. You got me? I'm going to go for the gun first. All. right. Pull me out. Pocket. I got it. I. got it. She's been shot in the head and Casey. claims she took her own life. When cops. get a better look, they find her finger. is still on the trigger of the gun. Later that day, Vicki was pronounced. dead in a nearby hospital. We'll never.

really know what the two had planned for. their life together after their escape. Whether they wanted to go off the grid. and settle down or live the rest of. their lives on the run. Well, it turns. out Casey never planned to keep Vicki. around at all. He described her as a. liability and someone that didn't have. the mind for this sort of thing. It's. likely that she would have been ditched. shortly after this point or killed by. Casey anyway. As he was found guilty of. first-degree prison escape and sentenced. to life behind bars, he'll be 98 years.

old before he gets a chance at parole. So, this terror of a man will likely be. off the streets until the day he dies.
