Authorities Continue the Search For a Missing Alabama Inmate and CO
The search for a missing Alabama inmate and a corrections officer continues Monday as authorities pursue leads that may help identify the vehicle they disappeared in, the sheriff said.
The pair went missing Friday after Vicky White, assistant director of corrections for the Lauderdale County Sheriff’s Office, said she was taking inmate Casey White, who was being held on murder charges, for a mental health evaluation at the county courthouse.
But the officer and inmate, who officials say are not related, never arrived at the courthouse, and authorities later discovered there was no evaluation or hearing scheduled for Casey White that day.
