Alabama Corrections Officer Escapes With Inmate

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.

Meanwhile, Ms White had a spotless record as a prison guard.

"I would have trusted Vicky with my life. I really mean it," Lauderdale County District Attorney Chris Connolly told reporters. "If we needed something from the jail, she was our go-to person, solid employee. That's why it's so shocking."

The prisoner also now faces an escape charge and will be returned to the Alabama corrections system.

"Why on earth did she do it?"

    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

Music From Universal Music Group Will No Longer Feature On TikTok

Universal Music Group will no longer allow its music on TikTok following the Wednesday expiration of a licensing deal between the two companies. The takedown of UMG-related music began overnight.  Universal Music Group is literally the largest record label ... in the history of the music industry,” said Andrew Mall, an associate professor of music at Northeastern University. An “uncountable number of tracks and sounds” would be impacted on TikTok, he added, significantly limiting options for creators." The expiration of licensing between UMG and TikTok arrived after the two companies were unable to reach a new agreement — and soon shared heated exchanges. In a Tuesday letter addressed to artists and songwriters, UMG said that it had been pressing TikTok on three issues: “appropriate compensation for our artists and songwriters, protecting human artists from the harmful effects of AI, and online safety for TikTok’s users.” UMG said that TikTok proposed paying its artists and songwr...
