The morning of the getaway, she drove the two of them in a “police” vehicle to her own car which she had parked before she went to work. My question is, how did she get to work if her car was parked miles (?) away from the prison? ---

CNN is reporting they both were just captured in Indiana and that she has been hospitalized with a self-inflicted gunshot. ---

I’m so glad they were caught, and I hope she recovers so she can at least tell us WHY. ---

A CNN article says, “Investigators found footage of White shopping for men’s clothes at a department store and at an ‘adult store,’ Singleton said, adding she ‘obviously had a change of clothes’ for the inmate.” So what was she buying at the adult store that would help in the disguise? ---

I think that the reported AR-15 and the shotgun were probably taken from her patrol car. A hand gun was also mentioned, probably her work gun. I don’t think they bought guns, the sheriffs car has guns. ---

Casey White goes back to jail and will probably die serving his sentence. He still faces trial for the murder for hire. We’ll never know why Vicky threw everything away for this guy. She must have known the capabilities of law enforcement. There was little chance they could evade LE for long. ---

I’m relieved no one got hurt while Casey was out. Vicky apparently didn’t want to return as an inmate in her own jail. ---

There was an earlier version of the story (I think on the NPR website, since updated) that said they were in a Ford F-150 pickup during the pursuit with Casey White driving, and apparently lost control and crashed. This has since been corrected. They were located due to a surveillance video at a carwash in Indiana that showed someone who looked like Casey White with the F-150. The truck, which had been stolen, was later abandoned. They tried to escape in a different vehicle, a Cadillac sedan, with Vicki White driving. The pursuit ended when one of the police vehicles rammed the Cadillac. It was at that point that Vicki White apparently shot herself. Rescue was delayed by the fact that she was pinned in the car due it having been rammed on the driver’s side. ---
