After a corrections officer and an inmate charged with the offence of murder went missing on Friday, authorities in Alabama are looking for them.

Casey White, the inmate, was taken from jail by Vicki White, the assistant director of corrections for Lauderdale County, on Friday morning, claiming she was transporting him to the county courts.

The two haven’t been seen since, and the US Marshals Service is offering a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to the inmate’s apprehension and the officer’s location, according to the service.

Authorities are looking at all possibilities, including whether the corrections officer helped Casey White escape.

“Knowing the inmate, I think she’s in danger whatever the circumstances,” Singleton said Friday.

“He was in jail for capital murder, and he had nothing to lose. Whether she assisted him or not we don’t know, and we won’t address that until we have absolute proof that that’s what happened. We are assuming at this point that she was taken against her will unless we can absolutely prove otherwise. But regardless, even if she did assist him, we think she’s in danger,” Singleton said.

“All precautions were in place,” Singleton said. “The questions we have for Director White is why she violated policy.”
