TL;DR Summary

Alabama prisoner Casey White received a life sentence for escaping jail with the help of a jail official, Vicky White, who died by suicide as police closed in following a manhunt across three states. White declared his love for Vicky and apologized to her family during the sentencing hearing. He was serving a 75-year prison term for an array of charges from 2015, including attempted murder, and was awaiting a capital murder trial when he escaped in April 2022. White pleaded guilty to escape in exchange for prosecutors dropping a felony murder charge involving Vicky White's death and agreed to the maximum sentence of life without parole.
