Former Alabama prison owner Vicky White was struck with additional charges Monday for allegedly using a nickname to purchase the specific getaway car used in the escape of murderer Casey Cole White.
The Lauderdale County Sheriff’s Office said second-degree forgery and identity theft charges have now been added to the warrant for Vicky’s arrest.
The 56-year-old is accused of using a fake name to purchase an orange 2007 Ford Edge, which he and 38-year-old Casey allegedly used while escaping from Lauderdale County Jail two weeks ago.
The car was later dumped on a rural Tennessee road hours after their alleged escape.
Officials said Vicky, a former assistant corrections director at the prison, is believed to have had a “jailhouse romance” with Casey — and helped her plan and execute it.
Casey, who is covered in white supremacist tattoos, was awaiting trial in a capital murder case when he allegedly managed to break free.
A nationwide search has been going on since Vicky disappeared together on April 29 after allegedly telling coworkers that she was taking Casey to the courthouse for a mental health evaluation.
Casey was captured in surveillance footage as he exited the prison and boarded Vicky’s sheriff’s cruiser.
The two drove into a patrol car, which was later abandoned in a parking lot nearby, where investigators believe Vicky parked the getaway car.
When Vicky did not return that afternoon and did not answer his phone, the officers realized that the pair was missing. He eventually learned that a mental health assessment was never scheduled.
