EVANSVILLE — U.S. Marshals are following leads in Evansville in the search for an escaped Alabama inmate and former corrections officer who officials say may have helped him get out of prison.
CNN reports U.S. Marshals found the 2007 Ford Edge in a tow lot in Williamson County, Tennessee on Thursday. That’s about two hours north of Florence, Alabama, where the two disappeared.Lauderdale County Sheriff Rick Singleton said U.S. Marshals are also searching for a stolen vehicle in the Evansville area that's believed to be connected with the search.
The vehicle, which was abandoned"on or around May 3," according to Wedding, did not have Indiana license plates, and the Sheriff's Office said that there is currently no evidence to suggest that the vehicle was stolen. Lauderdale County Sheriff Rick Singleton has said Vicky White visited Casey White — who was awaiting trial on a capital murder case — in prison months before helping him escape and her actions suggested their plan had been in the works for some time.
