Former Alabama corrections officer Vicky White has died from her injuries after shooting herself while leading US Marshals on a car chase in Indiana.
Vicky and escaped murder suspect Casey White were captured Monday afternoon after an 11-day manhunt that spanned multiple states.
The pair were found at a motel and led authorities on a brief car chase in Evansville that lasted 'less than a few minutes,' according to Vanderburgh County Sheriff Dave Wedding.
Authorities say they crashed into their Cadillac to stop them. Their car overturned and Casey White surrendered.
Vicky White, who was driving, shot herself at some point before she was captured and was taken to the hospital with 'very serious' injuries, Wedding said.
The Vandenburgh County Coroner said she died at 7.06pm on Monday, according to WHNT reporter Emily Moessner.
She faced up to 10 years in jail for helping Casey, a confessed killer who was already serving 75 years in prison, run away.
The two were set to be brought back to Lauderdale County, Alabama to face various charges in connection with the escape. Casey will also face outstanding capital murder charges related to a 2015 killing.
Lauderdale County Sheriff Rick Singleton thanked investigators from the various national agencies that helped them capture the pair, along with the media for shedding light on the story.
'Most escapes - from a county jail especially - they're not planned. They're just sort of spontaneous. There are no resources available, no plan in place,' he said during a press conference Monday evening.

Love is a social disease...
“Eleanor Rigby”
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in the church where a wedding was been
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for?
All the lonely people, where do they all come from?
All the lonely people, where do they all belong?
Father McKenzie, writing the words to a sermon that no one will hear
No one comes near
Look at him working, darning his socks in the night when there’s nobody there
What does he care?
All the lonely people, where do they all come from?
All the lonely people, where do they all belong?
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Ah, look at all the lonely people
Eleanor Rigby died in church and was buried along with her name
Nobody came
Father McKenzie, wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave
No one was saved
All the lonely people, where do they all come from?
(ah, look at all the lonely people)
All the lonely people, where do they all belong?
(ah, look at all the lonely people)
I feel heartbroken for her mother.
I thought I saw a report that one of them was on phone with 911. Operator was saying she had gun to her head?
She fell in love with a man who was charged with murdering a woman about her age. Did she think he was innocent, or did she have a death wish?
Very poignant, and so often true .. sigh
“so sorry for her mother....”
Yes, me too.
She had a very short retirement.
Haven’t read such a happy ending since that vanboy Laundry killed himself in a swamp.
Biggest fear of cops and COs is going to prison.
I wonder how long the high lasted. A few minutes, maybe.
In other news, the televised trial won’t be nearly as much fun.
Sad. Reading her story, I wonder how she thought that absconding with a convicted murderer would end well.
She could have easily got a man on the outside. Lose 20 pounds and buy a bass boat.
I will never understand how people can be so stupid, can make such poor choices after seeming to make good choices for most of their life. Work long enough to earn a pension and you just throw away your life’s work, your home and your family for some murdering thug? Good gravy Marie...the stupidity.
How did she possibly see this as ending in any other way than her dying? Either by the creepy dude, by another cop or by her own hand. How many escaped prisoners are ever successful in avoiding being recaptured or shot?
Can’t understand why so many female prison guards fall for the convicts they are supposed to guard. This is not the only case by any means. Convicts are generally scum of the earth and these woman should know that, working around them in a prison/jail. There must be some deep flaw in their character that would let a woman sleep with criminals.
Buh-Bye.

Love is like oxygen,
You get too much you get too high.
Not enough and you’re gonna die,
(Gonna die).

It’s almost a Romeo and Juliet story.
