“Do not attempt to arrest this fugitive,” said U.S. Army Chief of Staff Marty Kylie in a statement Sunday. Casey White, 38, was being held in Lauderdale County, Alabama, pending trial for homicide charges before his disappearance. He was already serving a sentence for a series of crimes in 2015 that included “invading a home, stealing a car and stalking police,” the Soldiers’ Service said when it “confessed to the murder.” White is described by the Marshals Service as 6 feet 9 inches tall and weighing about 260 pounds with brown eyes and brown hair. The Lauderdale County Sheriff’s Office released the latest pictures of Casey White on Sunday. Vicky White, Assistant Director of Corrections, was released from prison with Casey White at 9:41 a.m. on Friday, according to Lauderdale County Sheriff Rick Singleton. The two are not related. He told other officials he was going to leave Casey White in the courthouse for a mental health assessment and then go to see a doctor, Singleton told a news conference on Friday. According to Singleton, Vicky White’s car was found in the mall parking lot around 11 a.m. and officials noticed around 3:30 p.m. that Casey White had never been returned to detention and that no one was able to contact Vicky White. Vicky White was armed with a 9mm pistol at the time of her disappearance, Singleton said, leading authorities to speculate that Casey White was now armed and “extremely dangerous.” Singleton said Friday that after speaking in court, officials confirmed that no scheduled mental health assessments had been made. He also said that Vicky White’s decision to take the detainee to the courthouse was a “grave violation of politics”, as someone accused of such a serious crime would have to be accompanied by two MPs. “Obviously, you know, we look at it from all angles,” Singleton said Friday. “Did she help him escape? This is obviously a possibility. So we are looking at it as a point of view of the investigation. She was abducted on the way to the courthouse? You know, she was taken against her will? This is obviously another point of view.” look.” The sheriff’s office has not provided any updates other than the new pictures of Casey White that were released on Sunday. The press conference is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. Monday. The Marshals Service said anyone with information should contact the service at 1-800-336-0102 or leave an anonymous tip through the US Marshals Advice App. Victoria Albert contributed to the petition.
