Vicky White previously left the jail with Casey White in what investigators believe was a dry run for the escape

Officials said the two were carrying $29,000 in cash, four handguns and an AR-15 rifle

The pair were captured after U.S. Marshals pursued their vehicle and crashed into it; CO Vicky White died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound

"Casey White and Vicky White pose a major threat to the public, and they must be apprehended," Gov. Kay Ivey said

The vehicle was found in an impound lot in Tennessee, where it sat for nearly a week before authorities realized they had it

"There is no question that it took some planning and some coordinating," said Sheriff Rick Singleton

The Lauderdale County Sheriff’s Office did not elaborate on the nature of their relationship

Sheriff Rick Singleton said he is exploring the possibility of a romantic relationship between the inmate-officer pair that went missing last week

“Nobody saw this coming,” Sheriff Rick Singleton said at a Monday morning press conference

“Casey White is believed to be a serious threat to the corrections officer and the public.”

Authorities are investigating all possibilities in the pair’s disappearance, including whether the officer assisted the inmate in escaping

According to deputies, the man was “no stranger” to law enforcement

The bill prohibits anyone convicted of a crime that involved killing another person with a deadly weapon from shortening their prison sentence
