The US Marshals Service has published numerous additional pictures depicting the appearances and likely bodily adjustments that prison escapee Casey Cole White and fugitive correctional officer Vicky White may have made, as the manhunt for the duo enters its seventh day.
Casey Cole White, 38, and Vicky White, 56, who are unrelated but supposedly in a “unique connection,” went missing from Alabama’s Lauderdale County Detention Center on Friday morning. Vicky White, a high-ranking jail guard, was alone with Casey at the time, telling coworkers she was bringing him for an examination at the county courthouse, according to officials. Lauderdale County Sheriff Rick Singleton said she told him she was going to visit her doctor after that.
However, Casey’s assessment was not planned at the time, investigators later learned.
The US Marshals Service (USMS) has entered the case in the week since the two left, progressively releasing additional information and images.
Late Thursday, the USMS released new photographs of Vicky White that demonstrate what she might look like if she altered her hair color from blonde to a darker shade, or if she trimmed it from its regular length.
In addition, several additional photographs show Casey White’s various tattoos on both sides of his chest, arms, and back. A horseshoe emblem with a red flower on his left pec; ink covering his whole right shoulder and another tattoo covering half of his left arm; and a confederate flag on his back embellished by the words “Southern Pride” in an unrefined content.Marshals depict White as 6-foot-9-inches tall, 330 pounds, with brown hair and hazel eyes. He has worn his hair in a variety of styles throughout the years, including shaved, scruffy, and buzz cut, according to law enforcement pictures.
He is said to be a member of the local “Southern Brotherhood,” a “white supremacist prison group.”

He towers above Vicky White, who is 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighs around 145 pounds. She has brown eyes and is described as having a “waddling gait.”
Marshal Service photographs also show the two’s size discrepancies when standing close to one other or near the car officials say the pair departed in — an orange or copper-colored 2007 Ford Edge SUV.
Casey White, according to authorities, “should be regarded armed and highly dangerous.” The duo may also be in control of many guns, including a shotgun, an AR-15, and maybe Vicky White’s service weapon.
Casey White was facing a 75-year term for a string of offenses committed in 2015, including carjacking, a burglary, and evading police. He had been serving his term in the William E. Donaldson Correctional Facility in Bessemer, Alabama, yet had been moved to the Lauderdale County prison while awaiting trial for the 2015 murder of Connie Ridgeway, 58.
Authorities say Casey and Vicky White met in 2020, when Casey was being held at the Lauderdale facility after admitting to the 2015 crime. Between 2020 and 2022, the two kept in touch and are believed to have chatted on the phone, even after Casey was moved to the Donaldson facility before being returned to Lauderdale to face trial.
Vicky White purportedly sold her home a month prior to her departure. She was expected to retire on April 29 – the day the couple went missing – however the paperwork had not been formally filed with the state.
Lauderdale County Sheriff Rick Singleton previously stated, “I believe she had access to some cash from the sale of the house. The paperwork for retirement was never submitted to the state retirement system. Before that could occur, she needed to meet with the personnel director.
She had also previously acquired the Ford Edge SUV that the couple is believed to be driving, according to detectives. Although the license plate number was not provided, officials think the car suffered minor damage to the back left bumper.
The United States Marshals Service is offering a reward of up to $10,000 for information that drives to the capture of the criminals. Anybody with information concerning their location is requested to contact the United States Marshals Service at 1-800-336-0102.
