A jail officer helped to break an inmate who she is thought to have had a ‘special relationship’ with out of prison.
Capital murder suspect Casey White and Vicky White, assistant director of corrections, vanished after leaving the Lauderdale County Detention Center in Alabama together on Friday morning.
The pair have gone on the run with authorities, who are trying to track them down, warning people warned not to approach the duo.
Now, it has emerged the pair may have a relationship beyond the normal contact had between inmates and officers.
Investigators from Lauderdale County Sheriff’s Office (LCSO) say they have ‘received information from inmates at the Lauderdale County Detention Center’ that there was ‘a special relationship between Director White and inmate Casey White’.
‘That relationship has now been confirmed through our investigation by independent sources and means,’ the LCSO said in a statement.
The office did not elaborate on the nature of the relationship.
Director White, 56, told coworkers, on Friday morning, the 38-year-old inmate, needed to go to the courthouse for a mental health evaluation.
