On-the-run prison officer\u00a0Vicky White has died after she and prisoner Casey White were caught following a car chase with US Marshals.<\/p>\n

Ms White, 56, shot herself after officers deliberately crashed into their vehicle. The fugitives had been tracked to a small town in Indiana. She was taken to hospital, but Vanderburgh County Coroner Steve Lockyear said she died from her injuries.<\/p>\n

Mr White (no relation), suffered minor injuries from the crash.<\/p>\n

He was awaiting trial on a capital murder case when disappeared with Ms White after leaving a detention centre in Florence, Alabama on 29 April.<\/p>\n

She had told colleagues the 38-year-old inmate needed to go to the courthouse for a mental health evaluation.<\/p>\n

Later that day, when she was not answering her phone, the authorities discovered no such evaluation had been scheduled.<\/p>\n

Ms White’s patrol car was also found abandoned at a shopping centre.<\/p>\n

There was no trace of the pair until US Marshals received a tip Sunday that surveillance photos from an Evansville car wash showed a man who closely resembled Casey White leaving a 2006 Ford F-150 pickup truck, the Marshals Service said.<\/p>\n

White stands 6 feet, 9 inches (2.06 meters) tall and weighs about 260 pounds (118 kilograms).<\/p>\n

On Monday, officials learned that the pair were still in the area. As officers arrived, the pair fled in a vehicle. According to Vanderburgh County Sheriff Dave Wedding, US Marshals collided with them “to try to end the pursuit”.<\/p>\n

Casey White was injured, not too seriously, in the crash and Vicky White then shot herself, causing “very serious” injuries, he said. it was later confirmed that she had died.<\/p>\n

‘Special relationship’<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mr White had been serving a 75-year sentence for a string of crimes that included attempted murder, robbery and burglary.<\/p>\n

He was facing a further charge of murder over the stabbing of a 58-year-old woman.<\/p>\n

Police said there had been “a special relationship” between him and Ms White in jail.<\/p>\n

The death of Vicky White has only deepened the mystery of why a respected jail official would leave everything to help free an inmate with a violent and frightening history.<\/p>\n
