Vicky White, 56, a female prison guard, went on the run with a murder suspect from an Alabama. The two had vanished from a prison in Lauderdale County on 29 April. It is believed that the two had been romantically involved.
As reported by the BBC, Ms White recently sold her home, she informed colleagues that she planned to spend most of her time at the beach.
Ms White's last day at work, before retirement, she was seen transporting Casey White to a bogus mental health evaluation.
Casey White was charged in September 2020 with murder over the stabbing of 58-year-old Connie Ridgeway. He was already serving 75 years for a series of violent crimes in 2015, including burglary, vehicle theft and a police chase.
He allegedly confessed to the murder, but later pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity, and was awaiting trial at the Lauderdale County Jail when he disappeared, authorities added. He faces execution if convicted.
The prisoner also now faces an escape charge and will be returned to the Alabama corrections system.
Late on Monday, the Vanderburgh County Coroners Office confirmed that Vicky White died in a local hospital after shooting herself during the arrest.
Vicky White and Casey White (no relation), 38, were arrested in Indiana following an 11-day manhunt.
More information on her death is expected to be released on Tuesday following an autopsy.
I have also been wondering what she was thinking. At a point I felt she may be his victim but the bogus mental health appointment which she took him for says differently. It's a pity she died like that
