(NewsNation) — “The Guard and The Inmate: Love on the Run,” a Crime Nation episode, chronicles the case of escaped inmate Casey White and his guard Vicky White, who helped him escape.

Casey White, the inmate who escaped from an Alabama jail with help from his corrections officer lover in April 2022, was sentenced to life in prison in June of 2023.

White, 39, was charged with escape in the first degree following his capture in May 2022.

He pleaded guilty to first-degree escape in exchange for not being prosecuted for murder in the case of Vicky White, who died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound after the two were apprehended in Indiana following an 11-day search, according to the Lauderdale County District Attorney’s Office.

Lauderdale County District Attorney Chris Connolly told NewsNation affiliate WHNT that White approached him after the hearing to present the plea deal. Connolly said White agreed to the maximum sentence for first-degree escape, which is life in prison.

Speaking to the court, Casey White said he and Vicky fell in love, and the only thing she regretted was hurting her family.
