911 call reveals Alabama correction officer’s final words to Casey White – latest

The Limestone County Sheriff’s Office in Athens, Alabama, located about an hour’s drive from the Lauderdale County Jail where fugitive Casey White fled on 29 April, said they would be reopening the investigation into the mysterious death of his ex-girlfriend, WHNT reported.

Christy Shelton, 31, died in 2008, with authorities initially ruling her death as suicide. She died from a fatal gunshot wound, authorities said, from a sawed-off shotgun.

The news outlet reported that detectives ruled White out as a suspect in Shelton’s death after an initial investigation, but noted that he had told police that he was at her Lexington home at the time of the incident.

Somer Mitchell, the daughter of the deceased ex-girlfriend, sent a video to local news outlet News 19 and described how she and the rest of Shelton’s family have never felt at ease about how the investigation into her mother’s death wrapped up.

“Casey White was with my mom the night that she committed suicide,” Ms Mitchell said in the video, according to the news outlet. “Maybe this video will fall into the right hands of someone that can actually make a difference or look into it more maybe investigate,” the daughter’s plea closed.

WHNT says that a spokesperson for the Limestone County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that they are in communication with the family and are “reviewing the case”.

The Evansville Police Department in Indiana released dash cam footage that captures the moment that Casey White, 38, was apprehended by authories, ending an 11-day manhunt that spanned multiple states and spurred a flurry of tips.

In one of the videos posted on the police department’s Facebook page late Tuesday night, you can see dashboard camera footage from an officer’s squad car during the apprehension of Casey White on Monday 9 May.

In a separate video, you see footage of the first responders pulling Vicky White, the correctional officer accused of helping the fugitive escape, from the vehicle and providing her first aid.

Watch the videos below, but a warning as some viewers might find the content disturbing.

Lauderdale County Sheriff Rick Singleton said that capital murder suspect Casey White was mum when he returned to an Alabama courtroom late Tuesday night, while a gaggle of reporters shouted out questions to the escaped inmate who was on the run with jail supervisor Vicky White for more than a week.

“He didn’t say a word and I didn’t really say anything to him,” Sheriff Singleton said to AL.com. “He seemed blank. No emotion. No remorse. Nothing.”

The Alabama sheriff also noted that the Lauderdale County Detention Center where the 38-year-old was being detained prior to the jailbreak was not the kind of facility “designed” to hold offenders like White.

“County jails are not designed to house these kinds of inmates on a long-term basis,” he said. “The shorter period of time we can have someone like Casey White in there, the better off we are.”

Fugitive Casey White was seen leaving Lauderdale County Courthouse in Florence, Alabama late Tuesday night as the double murder suspect was returned to the state prison after making his first court appearance since he was captured following a car chase in Evansville, Indiana, Monday.

At the arraignment, Judge Ben Graves informed White that in addition to his murder charges, he will now also be charged with escape in the first degree.

White was then transported to the William E Donaldson Correctional Facility in Bessemer, Alabama, which is located a little more than 100 miles south of Lauderdale County.

The owner of the motel — where the Cadillac connected to Vicky White and Casey White was seen – has denied seeing the fugitives and claimed that he didn’t know if they were staying on his property.

Paul Shah was quoted as saying by CNN that “I’ve never seen those people in my property.” He, however, did say that it could be possible that they were visiting someone in the Motel 41 in Evansville.“Nothing happened in my parking lot,” Mr Shah said, referring to the capture of the two on Monday afternoon.

He said that he hadn’t seen the news of the search for the two and was surprised everything unfolded in this area. “This is one of the safest area(s) of this town.”

Vanderburgh County Sheriff Dave Wedding said on Tuesday that investigations so far reveal that the fugitive couple received assistance from another person in renting an Indiana motel.

Mr Wedding said that White and Vicky White tried to check into the motel initially, “but could not get a room because they did not have identification.”

The officer said that the police is still investigating whether the couple paid someone to rent the motel room for them. The room was paid for 14 days.

However, the sheriff explained that the “third person is not under investigation” and there are no other suspects in the case. “There are no plans to charge anyone else in the investigation at this time.”

Mr Wedding also said that it looked like the motel room had been “cleaned out”.

Casey White’s murder trial will start in June, it was reported.

After an emergency hearing on Tuesday regarding the capital case against White for Ridgeway’s 2015 murder, her son Austin Williams was quoted as saying by CNN that the fugitive’s capture was a “huge relief” and that “it felt like a miracle.”

Mr Williams said: “I’ve been waiting for a long time, waiting just a little bit longer, I think things will be fine. They did the right thing by getting him over to Donaldson as soon as possible and I’m just looking forward to that trial date.

“It just didn’t look very hopeful at all,” he said. “They had a head start, not a lot of leads and stuff and just felt like a really good plan and it turns out that they didn’t which was… which worked out, fortunately.”

White escaped from the Alabama jail on 29 April and was captured on Monday in Evansville, Indiana.

Sheriff Dave Wedding of Vanderburgh County said that Casey White and Vicky White were in Evansville since 3 May.

The fugitive duo had been on a run for 10 days when they were finally stopped by police on Monday.

Mr Wedding said: “It’s hard to believe they’ve been here that many days, but we’re lucky that we stumbled upon them.”

Casey White was captured by the police after a chase and a car crash.

The Alabama prison inmate, who faces charges of double murder and was serving a 75 year sentence — has been brought back to the jail.

Sheriff Rick Singleton of Lauderdale County, Alabama said that “he will be in a cell by himself. He will stay in handcuffs and shackles while he’s in that cell and if he wants to sue me for violating his civil rights, so be it. He’s not getting out of this jail again. I’ll assure you that.”

Police have released dramatic dashcam footage of the moment fugitive Casey White was captured after 10 days on the run.

In the video, Mr White can be seen being taken into custody by the law enforcement officials and the body of his “wife” — the prison guard Vicky White — can be seen being dragged from their car on Monday.

The footage shows officers closing on the two fugitive’s vehicle and Mr White is taken out and asked to kneel and then can be seen being taken to another cruiser, away from the car wreck.

An Indiana coroner’s office confirmed on Tuesday that Vicky White, ex-corrections officer accused of helping an Alabama inmate escape, died by suicide.

The Vanderburgh County Coroner’s Office concluded that Ms White killed herself.

Police had said that the two had a cache of weapons on them as well — four handguns and several semi-automatic weapons, including an AR-15.Ms White died after suffering a gunshot wound to the head during a dramatic police chase while her inmate lover Casey White surrendered to authorities and is now back in custody.

Mr White had allegedly also referred to Ms White as his “wife.”
