It's because the prison system is about making money and they are mostly privately owned down south. It's all about making money. They aren't paying people enough to really care.
A sheriff in a neighboring county stated that there are no requirements to be a corrections officer in Alabama. The only training is provided on the job. The pay is also low, even if compared to other jobs that require a pulse and the ability to fog a mirror.
This had to be so traumatic for everyone who knew her to find out that she had this totally different side to her that just popped up out of no where. Bless those who were left behind and had to deal with everything she did.
'POPPED UP' OUT OF NOWHERE??🤔🤬 GIRL, WHAT STORY HAVE YOU WATCHING?🤔 THESE JAILERS KNEW SHE LIKED CASEY, INMATES CAME FORWARD TO SAY SHE FAVORED CASEY, SO YOU THINK THE JAILERS DIDN'T HEAR OF THIS, KNEW HOW SHE WAS & GOD KNOWS WHAT ELSE WENT ON IN THERE? ANOTHER BLIND MOUSE...NO WORDS!🤬👎
I like this Sheriff... He's got a kind heart. He trusted Vicky like family and was betrayed... Vicky was sneaky and made sure no one was around when she did favors for Casey.... It's not the Sheriff or the other police peoples fault... It's all Vicky.... She fell in love....or lust. She snuck around secretly... The real Victoria's Secret i guess... That's my opinion
No, he did not do his job, Vicky and the rest of the officers are not his 'family' they are people who are hired to do a job, he didn't do his, and I doubt they did theirs, because it is highly likely they were aware of what Vicky was doing with her 'husand' and nobody 'nipped it in the bud'. Something is wrong with this picture, drastically wrong! Time to toss the lot and start over, no excuses!
My mother had a Family Physcian who could be rude abrasive, and gruff, however he was an excellent clinician. She did not go to him for his social skills, or lack there of. That had nothing to do with it. He did his job exceedingly well, to her that was what mattered. Likewise, the Sheriff, may have been a kindly soul, but that has nothing to do with doing his job properly. He could easily have chosen to be both kind and do his job, but that was not what he chose. So, don't make excuses for him. He needs to retire, get some teeth, and enjoy the rest of his days, and allow someone else to fill his boots! Hopefully, someone who is properly trained instead of being a 'wet rag' when it comes to interacting with staff, and who is capable of taking on leadership responsibilies. Being a Sheriff is not the same as being Manager of a Social Club. I would go so far as to say the job descriptions are at best totally different from each other, nice guy or not! Peoples' lives are on the line here. Either do the job as it needs to be done, or make way for someone who can. Enveloping oneself in superflous emotional fluff benefits nobody, if it did, this never would have been allowed to happen.
................. You are totally absolving her boss of his rampant incompetence just bc he has a likable personality................ Because of so many failures to prevent this, they got away. All these incompetents need to be held accountable.
This is so sad to me, such a tragedy. What Vicki White did was so wrong, but she was a very vulnerable person( alone, divorced/widowed, no kids, work aholic like the sheriff said) I think she was a victim- working in a very difficult environment, manipulated by a very dangerous person. I’m sure as time goes on, we will learn more, but this whole thing troubles me. I think she was in trouble emotionally , and no one seemed to be aware of that.
We all have our challenges in this life, some far more difficult than others. That does not mean we lose our moral compass. When strength of character is eroded it leads to all sorts of problems, some as in Vicky's case, sadly cannot be reversed. Regardless of what she was missing in life. At some point made a conscious decision when she chose to go too far down the wrong path. Albeit, it is true, none of us is perfect and we all make mistakes, most of us have the ability to 'draw the line.' Vicky, obviously did not, either, because she could not, or would not, the end result was the same.
Of course her job was her life. She was having an emotional affair, and that whole department was aware of it. They always shift the blame on the victims to save their own necks. That will never fly in a liability law suit.

@@slobama Thank you. I agree with you also. Be safe, obey the rules like all of us should, and speak up when "somethings wrong in Denmark." Romeo & Juliet.
I agree also. It’s time for this official to retire. He’s too soft. According to one of VW’s colleague or subordinate, she didn’t have the creds & wasn’t a fair boss. This is a blight on Bama’s rep yet again.
It's ridiculous how they continue to dismiss that she obviously was not a trustworthy employee. She used her position to do the unthinkable and that is why she killed herself.
His 15 minutes was up on day 1. He’s covering his butt for what she did,doesn’t want to look like his “special little jailer was bumping a crook. Why was she allowed to visit the jail bird at another location for a year. Hell,he probably made sure the car was on‘full’ before she left the jailhouse. New movie will be out soon Jail Bird and the Jail Lover
Vicky White fell hard for Casey White... and she wanted to be with him.... there was no stopping her... she did what she had to do !!!! And it cost her her life !!!!
I don't believe that the Sheriff "let" VW break the rules. He trusted her. VW was 2nd in command at the DC. Any rules that were broken by VW are on her. What I am curious about is how often did she leave with an inmate wherein she didn't have an additional person with her? Did she do it because she felt she was better than everyone or did she do it to start a pattern? So that when VW left with CW, no one would question her leaving by herself? She certainly didn't have an qualms not being truthful to her mother, family, co-workers and especially the Sheriff. In the beginning, I had wondered about whether she had a personal vehicle or did she always drive the squad car. Turns out she did have a personal vehicle. I'm not sure where she had it parked as she call her BFF from the DC to come pick her up the morning of the escape. She told her BFF that she had locked her keys in the vehicle. So she didn't have a problem using her BFF to drive her to the DC so she had access to her squad car. While the BFF didn't do anything wrong and wasn't involved in VW's escape plans, this BFF is still officially part of the investigation because of the timeline of the morning. I would love for someone to do an in depth interview with the ex-employee that VW had previously fired. While he may have an ax to grind, I do feel he has pertinent information to help with the VW case. Like the Sheriff said, procedures are in place. If the people you trust aren't following the rules, then what happened will happen. I do feel that procedures still need to be looked at and improved where needed. IMO, the Sheriff will retire, but his career will always have this blemish attached to it along with the fact that CW also had a failed attempt from the same DC. Did VW assist in any way that time in regards to the makeshift weapon that was found? No matter how other people sugar coat the situation and say VW was conned by an inmate, she knew what she was doing was wrong and she did it anyway. VW was totally on board whether she was conned or not. I'm sorry that she took her own life as everyone deserved answers. While I've heard that VW's family blames all of this on CW, I hope for their sake they look at the entire situation and come to terms with VW's committed involvement. VW was guilty as charged and she was responsible for putting co-workers and innocent people in danger.
@@kennethsouthard6042 I am local and he is officially retiring this year. As a Sheriff and business owner, most here love the man and his family. This is a small city which is more like a small town. Everybody knows everyone for the most part and is very laid back. Not making excuses - just saying that is one of the attractions of living here. My dad did HVAC work for the elder Mr. Singleton when we had our HVAC business. He was also good friends with the dad of the attorney who represented me during my divorce 32 years ago. 🤷♀️*Huge* musician presence here also with many very famous country music stars whose second home is here (literally). We are a mile across the river from Muscle Shoals. You will literally run into John Paul White (The Civil Wars) at the coffee shop downtown and occasionally Jason Isbell and even Steven Tyler from Aerosmith (he doesn’t live here, but is here fairly often). It’s no big deal because we’re all used to it. Everyone knows everyone, and very few in the community will blame Rick Singleton for what happened at the end of the day. I hope our DOC has learned their lesson from this and follows procedure in the future, but time will tell.
BEFORE ANYONE SAYS BAD THINGS BOUT VICKIE, LET ME SAY THIS.. A CONMAN IS CALLED A CONMAN BECOUSE HE IS GOOD AT HIS JOB, BEING A CONMAN, OR THEY WOULDN'T BE A GOOD CONMAN.. IT HAS HAPPENED TO THE VERY BEST IN THE FIELD. EVEN WITH PROFESSIONALS IT HAS HAPPENED BEFORE.. THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT IT WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN TO SOME ONE. MOST THE TIME THE VICTIMS ARE KIND AND GOOD HEARTED PEOPLE AND CROOKS TAKE THAT AS A WEAKNESS IN A PERSON AND THE CROOK USES IT TO THEIR ADVANTAGE.. WHAT SHE DONE WAS WRONG , BUT IT DOES NOT MEAN SHE WAS A BAD PERSON. DON'T JUDGE SOMEONE UNTIL YOU UNDERSTAND THE WHOLE CASE. UNDERSTAND SHE WAS SOMEONE'S DAUGHTER, AUNT, FRIEND, COWORKER. JUST LIKE EVERYONE OF YOU, SHE HAD FAMILY AND FRIENDS ALSO THAT LOVED HER. JUST LIKE YOU DO.
She was not a victim in this case. She meticulously planned this escape and used her position within the DOC to do so. She knew what she was doing and after 17 years in LE, surely knew the likely outcome. I don’t feel for a hot minute that she was conned into doing this. 🤷♀️
@@yaya_vibe2504 ARE YOU A PROFESSIONAL PSYCHIATRIST? SHE HAD LOST HER HUSBAND..YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT STATE OF MIND SHE WAS IN AT THE TIME. LIKE IT OR NOT THE FACT IS , YOU CAN ONLY ASSUME. THAT'S ONLY YOUR THOUGHT , JUST YOUR OPINION.JUST LIKE MINE.
@@mandyshaw4097 I don’t have to be a psychiatrist to know that what she did was wrong. It doesn’t matter who she lost. She was still wrong in what she did. Do I sympathize with her? Absolutely. I sympathize with both of them and find this whole thing incredibly tragic all around. It was still wrong and they put the lives of others in danger unnecessarily. I’m sorry, but that’s my opinion.
To everyone going after the sheriff and even blaming her. She lost her husband, Taking care of her mother and she put in for her retirement just a few weeks before. She was most likely depressed and felt as though she lost everything anyway so having that mindset she was easy prey for this guy. Not condoning what she did but for hell's sake she is gone and her mother lost her daughter, someone lost a sister, friend, co-worker, cousin, niece, aunt etc. Be a little more respectful with the comments
She put in her retirement, sold her house including contents for half the market value and bought the Ford Edge they escaped in all within the last month. She already had her plan in order. She also visited Casey’s mother and had a good relationship with his family before they left. I don’t think she was his prey at all. From what I’ve heard from people who knew/know them both, they both cared for each other and she left with him without coercion on her own free will.
yeah .. sitting at a desk all day, eatin' fried chicken, tators and gravy, with a few dozen assorted donuts for desert, and a few gallons of ice cream as an afternoon snack
I can’t believe she was that desperate for a man that she would free a convicted felon from prison and go on the run with him knowing that she would have a warrant out for her arrest and would likely have to kill herself rather than be interrogated by her peers and rot in jail for several years. There has to be more to this. She did this for other reasons. With her retirement and money, etc…she could have easily found herself a loser who was not in prison. Something else had to be going on with her.
There are people with no authoestime at all that they think they can't get even a loser out there and if she was lonley tired of her rutine and with no social life, she is the oerfect prey for guys like him, is like get into a cult
I perceive that Vicki's behavior really thru the sherriff for a loop, and really hurt him dearly. Sir, I am sorry for your loss, in more than one way.🙏🙏🙏♥️😔 First she betrayed the force, then she pàssed away.
Why are people so interested in this Barney fife guy. He knows nothing and even less about those who work for him. His views are meaningless. Yes I clicked just to comment.
If the whole department knew of this infatuation between Vicky and Casey which seems logical then how could the Sheriff not act properly as a good administrator and do his job. The calls from Vicky to Casey at the state prison and Casey calling Vicky from prison needed to have been flagged. The Sheriff did not talk to her explaining the phone calls are not going to happen and she will be fired if she does not follow policy. When you are in the teacher ed program in college ethical boundaries are made clear by the professors and it is made clear teachers and students do not hang out ie date. In this case, since the Sheriff was made aware of this emotional affair it was his job to step up and deal with it by making boundaries clear with his employee, Vicky. This is stating the obvious and commonsense. A good administrator would have nipped this emotional affair in the bud asap.
Also I just read she went to his mom’s house to meet one of his kids. Just wild how nobody noticed or discussed it. He called his mom and told her over the phone a friend is coming over to meet the baby, be ready. How random is that?
In the end it should fall on HIM. It’s his job to know exactly what’s going on. I don’t care how trustworthy she was. HE was in charge. All that tax money spent on this, and a woman is dead. He should lose his job.
Rick Singleton is a good man. My father knew him well. He had a Barbecue restaurant that was the BEST in the country. Please, please, please open the restaurant back up.
Casey White told investigators that he & Vicky were prepared to die by a shootout with police. They had 4 handguns & a AR-15 with several rounds of ammo for all the guns in their car. I was rooting for them a little at first, as long as they didn’t hurt anyone & if it was for love. It was wrong but I kinda get it. When the sheriff in Indiana told everyone what their plan was when caught & showed us all the firearms they had. I’m sorry this is gonna sound harsh, but anybody that prepares to shoot at to injure & kill law enforcement or any person for that matter is a P.O.S.!! That’s like Vicky shooting to kill her own people. I mean WTF? Good riddance to both of them! Sorry not sorry!
He is a wonderful human being and a wonderful sheriff. Never met him but looking at the news surrounding him, I could tell he is. And he trusted Vicky. If only if he would have figured out that Vicky and Casey were romantically involved and were thinking about the life together, he would have given her some advice about how to go about it. I have a feeling that while he would have accepted her retirement papers, he would have supported their relationship as long as him getting out of prison was done legally with lawyers showing that he didn't killed Connie. Now he's spending time in prison for the crimes he did commit as far as killing a dog, injuring a few people and robbing people, I believe he would have, for good behavior, either been paroled or had his current sentence reduced. 75 years in prison may seem to be right for the combination of crimes, but if that person shows that he's changed for the better, it'd feel too much.
Couple things: He needs to retire, he let this lady broke several rules and he's trying to save face. Secondly, from local media here in the state Vicki wasn't sweet innocent lady that everyone made her out to be. Even former co-workers said she was very calculating and not surprised of her actions. So can we put to bed that she was innocent victim in all this and helping this murder escape from jail.
I’ve heard from several people who actually knew her that she wasn’t as sweet and innocent as the media is portraying her. The Sheriff is old school in his way of thinking and needs to retire. Any straightedge looking person could pull the wool over his eyes. Vicky had clearly been doing it for a long time. I’m from Alabama, also.
@@maryewer7322 let's see going against protocol when transferring a murderer by yourself isn't innocence by her. He should've double checked everything, that is what bosses do. Let's no forget that she was giving Mr. White privileges since he's been in custody at the jail, so the seeds have been planted for a while for all of this to happen.
The Sheriff needs to be fired! His lack of leadership and control of his jail is dangerous and he has no accountability. He is clueless as they come and is the laughing stock of corrections! The security breach happened under his watch. If this is an American Correctional Association (ACA) jail their audits should immediately be reviewed for possible bribery! If this jail operates through Direct Supervision that should be immediately changed! The inmates obviously run the jail due to incompetence leadership! Fire ALL of these country bumpkins and recruit better!
I think the sheriff should be fired for allowing Vicky to have a relationship with Casey ,they had a two year relationship outside of work which should not be allowed. It should have been made clear that jailers(employees) do not make relationships with inmates. The relationship could have been stopped a long time ago avoiding the prison escape. She was also allowed to leave the prison with an inmate, there should be a policy of no less than 3 officers escort all detainees to any appointments.
ha ha .. if he was in jail, how is it possible to have a relationship "outside of work" ??? was he on work release, or one of Otis Campbell's relatives
I think it was an accidental suicide caused either by the car being rammed and rolled or the air bags. I don’t think she intended on killing herself by what she was saying on the 911 call.
@@heathernewman5272 she is clearly stating they should run, then she says "Don't, Casey!" Immediately following you hear the gun. How is that suicide? She isn't saying she's going to kill herself, she is saying to run and then tells him "don't". That's NOT suicide!
How did that work out ??? Well she opened the door & walked out first & then he followed, shouldn't she walk behind him!!!Meanwhile all on camera The uppers dropped the ball!!!!!😏🙄😬😔🤬
Vicky didn't have shyt going on in her personal life. She was just bored with being a "mother figure" at the DOC. If she had a personal computer I wouldn't be surprised if she was internet dating and kept it to herself. Many people do. She seems like she would get scammed into romance over in Dubai or Nigeria. If after that investigation is over it wouldn't surprise me if they found evidence that she did these type things.
Maybe Vicky had second thoughts after being with him n maybe she wanted to be caught n get help from police she knew hotels had cameras outside n carwash she knew this n she may wanted end her life because she didn't want to go jail she knew she was wrong
i recently heard her life was exactly the best.her husband that passed away was a loser which means she loved the badboys.she also got an employed fired.she was also with a friend that committed suiside but the parent of the person never believed it was and that there was fowl play involved.
@@BrandiXo Casey White's girlfriend, Christie Shelton committed suicide. Vicky had a boyfriend killed in a car wreck 2009. I knew Vicky, her ex-husband (Tommy) and her boyfriend (Bryan).
@@darkseaofempathy Vicky was just a normal person. She was polite, quiet and considerate. Vicky would be one of the last people you would think of to help someone escape. The last time I saw her was in April, she seemed ok maybe a little stressed. Never thought that would be the last time I would see her.
All the more reasons We The People are so highly in favor DEFUND THE POLICE! DEFUND THE Sheriff's Department ! DEFUND THE State Troopers ! DEFUND THE State Police ! These officers are paid to chase and arrest criminals, not harass innocent Citizens. They are not to be doing traffic stops at all. Traffic Stops are not crimes. Get away from traffic stops completely.

I agree also. It’s time for this official to retire. He’s too soft. According to one of VW’s colleague or subordinate, she didn’t have the creds & wasn’t a fair boss. This is a blight on Bama’s rep yet again.
Guy could do audiobooks, westerns or something 😆
Movies too
I wonder if they will go to her funeral Saturday
Yes they will go and cry so hard that you would think you were at the funeral of Mae West !
I think they all will go
It's ridiculous how they continue to dismiss that she obviously was not a trustworthy employee. She used her position to do the unthinkable and that is why she killed herself.
She made a major mistake but it doesn’t mean she was a bad person. We all make mistakes. Big and small
@@mandy7833 She killed herself because she couldn't live with her mistake...
You can see sheriff Rick Singleton would be one of the best sheriff's to work for, a man with some common sense.
Deepest Condolences on Your loss Sir.💙💔
The 15 minutes is up.
His 15 minutes was up on day 1. He’s covering his butt for what she did,doesn’t want to look like his “special little jailer was bumping a crook. Why was she allowed to visit the jail bird at another location for a year. Hell,he probably made sure the car was on‘full’ before she left the jailhouse. New movie will be out soon Jail Bird and the Jail Lover
@Cayenne Captain 🤣🤣
Vicky White fell hard for Casey White... and she wanted to be with him.... there was no stopping her... she did what she had to do !!!! And it cost her her life !!!!
Thankfully, it didn't cost anyone else there life as well.
I don't believe that the Sheriff "let" VW break the rules. He trusted her. VW was 2nd in command at the DC. Any rules that were broken by VW are on her. What I am curious about is how often did she leave with an inmate wherein she didn't have an additional person with her? Did she do it because she felt she was better than everyone or did she do it to start a pattern? So that when VW left with CW, no one would question her leaving by herself? She certainly didn't have an qualms not being truthful to her mother, family, co-workers and especially the Sheriff. In the beginning, I had wondered about whether she had a personal vehicle or did she always drive the squad car. Turns out she did have a personal vehicle. I'm not sure where she had it parked as she call her BFF from the DC to come pick her up the morning of the escape. She told her BFF that she had locked her keys in the vehicle. So she didn't have a problem using her BFF to drive her to the DC so she had access to her squad car. While the BFF didn't do anything wrong and wasn't involved in VW's escape plans, this BFF is still officially part of the investigation because of the timeline of the morning. I would love for someone to do an in depth interview with the ex-employee that VW had previously fired. While he may have an ax to grind, I do feel he has pertinent information to help with the VW case.
Like the Sheriff said, procedures are in place. If the people you trust aren't following the rules, then what happened will happen. I do feel that procedures still need to be looked at and improved where needed. IMO, the Sheriff will retire, but his career will always have this blemish attached to it along with the fact that CW also had a failed attempt from the same DC. Did VW assist in any way that time in regards to the makeshift weapon that was found? No matter how other people sugar coat the situation and say VW was conned by an inmate, she knew what she was doing was wrong and she did it anyway. VW was totally on board whether she was conned or not. I'm sorry that she took her own life as everyone deserved answers. While I've heard that VW's family blames all of this on CW, I hope for their sake they look at the entire situation and come to terms with VW's committed involvement. VW was guilty as charged and she was responsible for putting co-workers and innocent people in danger.
Agree!!!!
I get the feeling the sheriff's actually probably been retired for at least 15 years or so. He's just been coming in collecting a paycheck.
@@kennethsouthard6042 this is funny.
But probably true.
@@kennethsouthard6042 I am local and he is officially retiring this year. As a Sheriff and business owner, most here love the man and his family.
This is a small city which is more like a small town. Everybody knows everyone for the most part and is very laid back. Not making excuses - just saying that is one of the attractions of living here. My dad did HVAC work for the elder Mr. Singleton when we had our HVAC business. He was also good friends with the dad of the attorney who represented me during my divorce 32 years ago. 🤷♀️*Huge* musician presence here also with many very famous country music stars whose second home is here (literally). We are a mile across the river from Muscle Shoals. You will literally run into John Paul White (The Civil Wars) at the coffee shop downtown and occasionally Jason Isbell and even Steven Tyler from Aerosmith (he doesn’t live here, but is here fairly often). It’s no big deal because we’re all used to it. Everyone knows everyone, and very few in the community will blame Rick Singleton for what happened at the end of the day. I hope our DOC has learned their lesson from this and follows procedure in the future, but time will tell.
BEFORE ANYONE SAYS BAD THINGS BOUT VICKIE, LET ME SAY THIS.. A CONMAN IS CALLED A CONMAN BECOUSE HE IS GOOD AT HIS JOB, BEING A CONMAN, OR THEY WOULDN'T BE A GOOD CONMAN.. IT HAS HAPPENED TO THE VERY BEST IN THE FIELD. EVEN WITH PROFESSIONALS IT HAS HAPPENED BEFORE.. THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT IT WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN TO SOME ONE. MOST THE TIME THE VICTIMS ARE KIND AND GOOD HEARTED PEOPLE AND CROOKS TAKE THAT AS A WEAKNESS IN A PERSON AND THE CROOK USES IT TO THEIR ADVANTAGE.. WHAT SHE DONE WAS WRONG , BUT IT DOES NOT MEAN SHE WAS A BAD PERSON. DON'T JUDGE SOMEONE UNTIL YOU UNDERSTAND THE WHOLE CASE. UNDERSTAND SHE WAS SOMEONE'S DAUGHTER, AUNT, FRIEND, COWORKER. JUST LIKE EVERYONE OF YOU, SHE HAD FAMILY AND FRIENDS ALSO THAT LOVED HER. JUST LIKE YOU DO.
She was not a victim in this case. She meticulously planned this escape and used her position within the DOC to do so. She knew what she was doing and after 17 years in LE, surely knew the likely outcome. I don’t feel for a hot minute that she was conned into doing this. 🤷♀️
@@yaya_vibe2504 ARE YOU A PROFESSIONAL PSYCHIATRIST? SHE HAD LOST HER HUSBAND..YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT STATE OF MIND SHE WAS IN AT THE TIME. LIKE IT OR NOT THE FACT IS , YOU CAN ONLY ASSUME. THAT'S ONLY YOUR THOUGHT , JUST YOUR OPINION.JUST LIKE MINE.
@@mandyshaw4097 I don’t have to be a psychiatrist to know that what she did was wrong. It doesn’t matter who she lost. She was still wrong in what she did. Do I sympathize with her? Absolutely. I sympathize with both of them and find this whole thing incredibly tragic all around. It was still wrong and they put the lives of others in danger unnecessarily. I’m sorry, but that’s my opinion.
To everyone going after the sheriff and even blaming her. She lost her husband, Taking care of her mother and she put in for her retirement just a few weeks before. She was most likely depressed and felt as though she lost everything anyway so having that mindset she was easy prey for this guy. Not condoning what she did but for hell's sake she is gone and her mother lost her daughter, someone lost a sister, friend, co-worker, cousin, niece, aunt etc. Be a little more respectful with the comments
Excuses, she knew what was doing. Plus you did condone what she with your first two sentences.
She put in her retirement, sold her house including contents for half the market value and bought the Ford Edge they escaped in all within the last month. She already had her plan in order. She also visited Casey’s mother and had a good relationship with his family before they left. I don’t think she was his prey at all. From what I’ve heard from people who knew/know them both, they both cared for each other and she left with him without coercion on her own free will.
@@yaya_vibe2504 I didn't know that she visited with his family everything else I did know.
I don't think Vickys changed. How long ago did her ex die? Tan Casey, going to trial for death. She needed to talk to a professional
Thank you Sheriff for all that you do. Thank you for the update.
yeah .. sitting at a desk all day, eatin' fried chicken, tators and gravy, with a few dozen assorted donuts for desert, and a few gallons of ice cream as an afternoon snack
She will be remembered
I can’t believe she was that desperate for a man that she would free a convicted felon from prison and go on the run with him knowing that she would have a warrant out for her arrest and would likely have to kill herself rather than be interrogated by her peers and rot in jail for several years. There has to be more to this. She did this for other reasons. With her retirement and money, etc…she could have easily found herself a loser who was not in prison. Something else had to be going on with her.
There are people with no authoestime at all that they think they can't get even a loser out there and if she was lonley tired of her rutine and with no social life, she is the oerfect prey for guys like him, is like get into a cult
There is nought so strange as folk!
It's sad 😔 😟!!!! She threw her whole life away over a crimal !!!! Rest in peace 🙏 🪦 prayers 🙏 ❤️ 💙 goes out for mom and friends !!!!
Very Sad😢😢!!!
He needed more visibility in the jail and needed to know what was going on instead of turning a blind eye. He should be fired for negligent.
I perceive that Vicki's behavior really thru the sherriff for a loop, and really hurt him dearly.
Sir, I am sorry for your loss, in more than one way.🙏🙏🙏♥️😔 First she betrayed the force, then she pàssed away.
So, what you are fail to recognize is that the Sheriff is a large part of the problem.
@@sjordan7085 how
Can't trust this jail !
Why are people so interested in this Barney fife guy. He knows nothing and even less about those who work for him. His views are meaningless. Yes I clicked just to comment.
He looks very simple
LMAO
And why would he say he suspected something or got a vibe about Vicky through the years…he’s got to deny all that
Vicky's life ended the day she left that jail with Casey.
Sheriff has to review his policy for inmate release.
Stop giving this dud air time. It happened under his watch. It was his responsibility. He should be fired. Any one else would be let go.
She wasn't to skilled , fratenizing got vicky killed.In the end she lost everything even her life
Poor Sheriff now one of the road guys ran over a kid at a DWI program.
Oh she was such a sweet heart LMAO
😂😂😂 Sheriff Porky 🐷
If the whole department knew of this infatuation between Vicky and Casey which seems logical then how could the Sheriff not act properly as a good administrator and do his job. The calls from Vicky to Casey at the state prison and Casey calling Vicky from prison needed to have been flagged. The Sheriff did not talk to her explaining the phone calls are not going to happen and she will be fired if she does not follow policy. When you are in the teacher ed program in college ethical boundaries are made clear by the professors and it is made clear teachers and students do not hang out ie date. In this case, since the Sheriff was made aware of this emotional affair it was his job to step up and deal with it by making boundaries clear with his employee, Vicky. This is stating the obvious and commonsense. A good administrator would have nipped this emotional affair in the bud asap.
Also I just read she went to his mom’s house to meet one of his kids. Just wild how nobody noticed or discussed it. He called his mom and told her over the phone a friend is coming over to meet the baby, be ready. How random is that?
In the end it should fall on HIM. It’s his job to know exactly what’s going on. I don’t care how trustworthy she was. HE was in charge. All that tax money spent on this, and a woman is dead. He should lose his job.
Rick Singleton is a good man. My father knew him well. He had a Barbecue restaurant that was the BEST in the country. Please, please, please open the restaurant back up.
I can believe that!
He seems cool.
Yaaaaassssss! We need some more good bbq here!
nobody with self respect wants modern post wall women
I think her ex death. I also admire how calm she was.
It's his fault to
Casey White told investigators that he & Vicky were prepared to die by a shootout with police. They had 4 handguns & a AR-15 with several rounds of ammo for all the guns in their car. I was rooting for them a little at first, as long as they didn’t hurt anyone & if it was for love. It was wrong but I kinda get it.
When the sheriff in Indiana told everyone what their plan was when caught & showed us all the firearms they had. I’m sorry this is gonna sound harsh, but anybody that prepares to shoot at to injure & kill law enforcement or any person for that matter is a P.O.S.!! That’s like Vicky shooting to kill her own people. I mean WTF? Good riddance to both of them! Sorry not sorry!
Let's set up a GoFundMe page so this old Sheriff can have a final place of rest 😴
I don't think he has two more years
The Sheriff, just may out live you, just know that GOD just heard what you spoke over that Man,the Bible says....
YOU WILL REAP WHAT YOU SOW!!!
He is a wonderful human being and a wonderful sheriff. Never met him but looking at the news surrounding him, I could tell he is. And he trusted Vicky. If only if he would have figured out that Vicky and Casey were romantically involved and were thinking about the life together, he would have given her some advice about how to go about it. I have a feeling that while he would have accepted her retirement papers, he would have supported their relationship as long as him getting out of prison was done legally with lawyers showing that he didn't killed Connie. Now he's spending time in prison for the crimes he did commit as far as killing a dog, injuring a few people and robbing people, I believe he would have, for good behavior, either been paroled or had his current sentence reduced. 75 years in prison may seem to be right for the combination of crimes, but if that person shows that he's changed for the better, it'd feel too much.
Looks like a gullible idiot to me. Find it hard to believe no one saw the frat with the inmate. They turned there head and ignored it. Not Vicki!!
Why does that door remain open? Anyone could walk in.
Couple things: He needs to retire, he let this lady broke several rules and he's trying to save face. Secondly, from local media here in the state Vicki wasn't sweet innocent lady that everyone made her out to be. Even former co-workers said she was very calculating and not surprised of her actions. So can we put to bed that she was innocent victim in all this and helping this murder escape from jail.
He didn't let her do anything, she back stabbed him and all her colleagues. You can guard against your enemies, how do you guard against treason?
He's a good man,this could and does happen in jails all over the country,no one could have predicted this
@@maryewer7322 😑😑🥾🥾
I’ve heard from several people who actually knew her that she wasn’t as sweet and innocent as the media is portraying her. The Sheriff is old school in his way of thinking and needs to retire. Any straightedge looking person could pull the wool over his eyes. Vicky had clearly been doing it for a long time. I’m from Alabama, also.
@@maryewer7322 let's see going against protocol when transferring a murderer by yourself isn't innocence by her. He should've double checked everything, that is what bosses do. Let's no forget that she was giving Mr. White privileges since he's been in custody at the jail, so the seeds have been planted for a while for all of this to happen.
HE MISSES NOT BEING IN THE SPOTLIGHT,
SAD for Vicki White,
Are we sure little Vicki didn't have her hooks in the old Sheriff also ?
The Sheriff needs to be fired! His lack of leadership and control of his jail is dangerous and he has no accountability. He is clueless as they come and is the laughing stock of corrections! The security breach happened under his watch. If this is an American Correctional Association (ACA) jail their audits should immediately be reviewed for possible bribery! If this jail operates through Direct Supervision that should be immediately changed! The inmates obviously run the jail due to incompetence leadership! Fire ALL of these country bumpkins and recruit better!
Lol....check out Utah's system.....they get a bucket instead of a toilet....money is tight...at least these boys are fed and pooped
She got involved with a inmate that was a no no
she made me pork chops to distract me
I think the sheriff should be fired for allowing Vicky to have a relationship with Casey ,they had a two year relationship outside of work which should not be allowed. It should have been made clear that jailers(employees) do not make relationships with inmates. The relationship could have been stopped a long time ago avoiding the prison escape. She was also allowed to leave the prison with an inmate, there should be a policy of no less than 3 officers escort all detainees to any appointments.
ha ha .. if he was in jail, how is it possible to have a relationship "outside of work" ??? was he on work release, or one of Otis Campbell's relatives
If the sheriff was an employee he would be fired but since he's an elected official that's up to the voters.
I'd like to make a request, I want to hear loser by beck and dedicate to vicky
I feel so bad for these guys ., Lord help em
He needs to keep working on this case. From what was released, it didn't sound like a suicide.
Sheriff Porky 🐷 needs to own up to it that it's his fault and go on a diet.
I think it was an accidental suicide caused either by the car being rammed and rolled or the air bags. I don’t think she intended on killing herself by what she was saying on the 911 call.
I think it was. She was facing arrest, and jail time with the very inmates she previously guarded. Career ruined, house sold, lost all respect, .....
@@holleywood922 she is clearly stating they should run, then she says "Don't, Casey!" Immediately following you hear the gun. How is that accidental?
@@heathernewman5272 she is clearly stating they should run, then she says "Don't, Casey!" Immediately following you hear the gun. How is that suicide? She isn't saying she's going to kill herself, she is saying to run and then tells him "don't". That's NOT suicide!
How did that work out ??? Well she opened the door & walked out first & then he followed, shouldn't she walk behind him!!!Meanwhile all on camera The uppers dropped the ball!!!!!😏🙄😬😔🤬
Vicky didn't have shyt going on in her personal life. She was just bored with being a "mother figure" at the DOC. If she had a personal computer I wouldn't be surprised if she was internet dating and kept it to herself. Many people do. She seems like she would get scammed into romance over in Dubai or Nigeria. If after that investigation is over it wouldn't surprise me if they found evidence that she did these type things.
Interesting.
What Vicki White gave up all because Casey is 6 ft 9... laying down I guess.
Maybe Vicky had second thoughts after being with him n maybe she wanted to be caught n get help from police she knew hotels had cameras outside n carwash she knew this n she may wanted end her life because she didn't want to go jail she knew she was wrong
Here's a guy that loves to talk to the press. Goes on and on. Nobody ever asks him how this happened under his nose.
He needs to step down.
i recently heard her life was exactly the best.her husband that passed away was a loser which means she loved the badboys.she also got an employed fired.she was also with a friend that committed suiside but the parent of the person never believed it was and that there was fowl play involved.
Who was the friend that committed suicide? I haven't heard this at all.
@@BrandiXo Casey White's girlfriend, Christie Shelton committed suicide. Vicky had a boyfriend killed in a car wreck 2009. I knew Vicky, her ex-husband (Tommy) and her boyfriend (Bryan).
@@mikeking4193 Can you tell us a bit more about Vicky and who she was?
@@darkseaofempathy Vicky was just a normal person. She was polite, quiet and considerate. Vicky would be one of the last people you would think of to help someone escape.
