EVANSVILLE, Ind. – The corrections officer, who escaped with an inmate from an Alabama prison and evaded authorities for more than a week, has died after the fugitives were taken into custody Monday, officials said.

Former corrections officer Vicky White, 56, and inmate Casey White, 38, were arrested after a police chase and subsequent car wreck in Evansville, Indiana, Lauderdale County Sheriff Rick Singleton said at a news conference Monday.

Casey White was injured in the crash, and Vicky White later died at Deaconess Hospital. The Vanderburgh County Coroner's office didn't release a cause of death, but police said Vicky White shot herself after U.S. Marshals stopped the Whites' car after a short chase and suffered serious injuries.

Casey White was serving a 75-year prison sentence for kidnapping and attempted murder charges after he was convicted of trying to kill his ex-girlfriend and kidnapping her two roommates.

He also faces capital murder charges in the 2015 murder-for-hire slaying of Connie Ridgeway after he confessed to the killing while in custody. He was set to go to trial in that case next month.

“Casey White and Vicky White are in custody,” Singleton said. “We got a dangerous man off the street today. He’s never going to see the light of day again.”

Damn shame she did not take-out the convict before she offed-herself.

Lmao! Prisons are so corrupt it's funny. Another funny thing, convict gets out of the car first and says he didn't shoot her. He wouldn't lie. Lmfao. First rule on cons, they never tell the truth.

There was another article on this with another person analyzing why she did this. This woman explains it all, telling how her own life was filled with sorrow and despair. So much so that in 2006 she helped her own convict escape! These bitches cannot be trusted in mens prisons. Lol, she served 2 years in the pen and they let her go! No wonder it happens over and over and over.
