County records lag behind somewhat. And considering the way house prices have jumped in the last year, the current market value is probably $300,000 or more.
That’s a heck of a lot of cash to leave laying on the table when you know you are going to be living on the run. I wonder if she was working against a timeline before he was moved out of her reach.
Frankly a better approach might have been to refinance the house. A lot of the internet refinancing companies advertise fast results.
I may have given Vicky too much credit. She threw away a lot of money that will be needed later.
She may have planned the escape. But I think Casey is the type that will assert his own ideas. He was reportedly abusive with his gf in 2015.
I’m sad to say that she probably has more than enough money to last her the rest of her life.
I don’t know, unless he has friends who are already helping him, he’s going to need her. A 6’ 9” guy will get noticed wherever he goes.
They could use a wheelchair to counteract his height. Sufficiently disguised to alter his appearance and with her as his “caretaker,” his height might not be an issue.
She could always negotiate a big payment from a producer for her story. This caper has Lifetime Movie written all over it.*
*Alabama does have a law prohibiting criminals from profiting from their crimes through the sale of books, movies or other entertainment - but it applies only to “crimes of moral turpitude”. So unless she and her sidekick commit acts such as murder, sodomy, treason or endangering the water supply, they could eventually cash in.
Cute idea, but this Bonnie & Clyde do not have the criminal genius vibe.
Well, I hope she enjoys her little vacation. She has to know it won’t last long.
Could easily be permanent, once he decides she’s expendable.
If it hasn’t already happened.
This case has a kind of vibe reminiscent of the Brian Laundrie / Gabby Petitto case.
She seems to be pretty good at planning. She did a great job on the prison break, has at least $90,000 in cash, and thoughtfully purchased an AR-15 and a shotgun ahead of time. As of now, nobody has any idea where they may have gone to.
Is it known if they consummated their relationship before the escape? I’m curious whether this is even possible in a normal prison, where it should be impossible if there are proper checks and backups. Clearly there were some security flaws in this particular jail.
In order to qualify as a criminal genius, she would have left a trail of her own blood as well as various other clues suggesting she was totally innocent.
There’d be other clues pointing to her coworker (who she despises), leading to the coworkers arrest.
But then Matlock would take on the despised coworker as a client and BOOM! The Casey Couple would be in prison in 42 minutes. I’ve seen it happen.
So far nobody has been saying that. Seems to have been mostly phone contact. It was apparently an open secret among prisoners that he was getting extra food and privileges because of her. Hard to say tho, because she was high enough in the ranks that she could ignore rules and no one called her on it.
At his size, seems like more generous servings would be medically necessary for him to get adequate calories and nourishment. Now if he’d been getting a nicer menu than other inmates…
Even more, the Dannemora escape of 2015.
No kidding, here.
I’ll bet she does not survive this error in judgement.
Assuming she has until now. I’m not optimistic.
