US police say they have captured an escaped inmate and a guard suspected of helping him after a 10-day manhunt.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Murder suspect Casey White, 38, was in custody while Vicky White (no relation), 56, was in hospital with an injury following the arrest in Indiana, officers said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The pair, believed to be romantically invovled, vanished from a Lauderdale County, Alabama, prison on 29 April.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

They were last seen as she was transporting him to a bogus evaluation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

It was Ms White’s last day at work before retirement. She had recently sold her home and told colleagues she planned to spend more time at the beach.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Lauderdale County Sheriff Rick Singleton said the couple’s vehicle crashed after a police chase in Evansville, Indiana, and the inmate surrendered.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Local media quoted Vanderburgh County Sheriff Dave Wedding as saying Ms White had been driving during the chase and had then shot herself.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Sheriff Singleton declined to comment on reports that she shot herself.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

“I hope she survives it. You know, we don’t wish any ill will on Vicky in terms of her health, her well-being. But she has some answers to give us and hopefully we’ll have that opportunity to get those answers,” he said.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

The US Marshals Service said the two had previously been last seen on Friday driving a copper-coloured Ford Edge with an Alabama registration plate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

On Monday, Sheriff Singleton described the 6ft 9in Casey White as “extremely dangerous” and advised law enforcement not to “take any chances” with him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Meanwhile, Ms White had a spotless record as a prison guard.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

“I would have trusted Vicky with my life. I really mean it,” Lauderdale County District Attorney Chris Connolly told reporters. “If we needed something from the jail, she was our go-to person, solid employee. That’s why it’s so shocking.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Casey White was charged in September 2020 with murder over the stabbing of 58-year-old Connie Ridgeway. He was already serving 75 years for a series of violent crimes in 2015, including burglary, vehicle theft and a police chase.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

He allegedly confessed to the murder, but later pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity, and was awaiting trial at the Lauderdale County Jail when he disappeared, authorities added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

He faces execution if convicted.<\/p>\n
