Lauderdale County Assistant Director of Corrections Vicky Sue White had amassed a sizable amount of money before she disappeared with inmate Casey Cole White (no relation), who had been sentenced to 75-years in prison and was awaiting a separate trial after he allegedly confessed to stabbing a woman to death.
Her mother-in-law, Frances White, told The Daily Beast that her daughter "may have been brainwashed."
“She had said that she’d like to live in Florida, that’s the only thing I can think of,” she explained.
Her son Thomas died from complications related to Parkinson’s disease in January.
“I’m just proud he wasn’t still alive, cause he still thought she was a good person,” she said. “I can’t imagine her running off with that guy, but you never know. He walked into a woman’s house and stabbed her.”
She thinks her daughter-in-law has plenty of cash and sold her home five weeks ago.
“She had money before she sold her home,” she explained. “She saved her money. I figure if she’s still got her money, she’s still got enough to live on for a while.”
WAAY-TV has also reported that Vicky White had a large amount of cash. Watch their report below or at this link:
