she waltzed out the door by herself with a 6 9 prisoner who was about to face capital murder charges. so i mean, i m not going to i like this sheriff. he s very candid, but i don t get the sense that this was a very tight operation at this jail, and i think there was a lot of familiarity, very rural area, county jails can sometimes get that way. so it s not i don t think it s a stretch to think that they were in touch by phone. i actually think they probably had more personal contact than what we re hearing about. relatives, chris, and co-workers of vicky white have expressed shock and disbelief that the sheriff described her as a model employee with an unblemished record. what do you think could lead someone to do? and listen, it s not the first time that we ve seen it, but what leads people to do this? yeah, if you study up on her, she lived by herself on five acres next to her parents. her husband divorced they
of thing, it s not a stretch of the imagination to think that she s already rented a house somewhere, maybe up in the mountains somewhere remote where they can just lay low and monitor activities and see what you know, wait for things to die down. sheriff singleton is clarifying that vicky white and casey white had contact only via phone while the inmate was in state prison. the sheriff saying that information previously released that she had visited him in prison, that that was incorrect. the sheriff said that their relationship has been going on for at least two years. how is it possible that it went on that long, no authorities noticed or if they didn t notice, if they did notice, they just didn t say anything? yeah, i mean, she was in a position of authority. she was the assistant director of corrections, which put her in a position where nobody really questioned what she did. if she wanted to, you know, take phone calls from an inmate, i don t know that anybody would really
divorced quite a while back, but he passed away last year. what i see here is someone who s probably lonely. i m not a behavioral scientist. we had folks in the fbi at quantico that did that for a living, but i see a person who did not have close friends it appears, did not have, you know, romantic interest in her life. she s in her late 50s, he was in his late 30s, and i think someone was paying attention to her. even though it was an inmate, it was someone who was obviously grooming her over the course of time and i think at that point she was very susceptible to it. casey white is considered an extremely dangerous man. how do you think this is going to end, chris? yeah, i hope it ends well for vicky white because this guy has a history. everything he touches dies it seems like, a former girlfriend committed suicide, they ve reopened that case. he admitted to a murder for hire, stabbing.
chris, i thank you. i m sorry that we have to speech under such circumstances, but sadly this is the breaking news. chris swecker, thank you. i appreciate it. don t go far. the producers are listening to the control room in this press conference, and if any new information comes out, we will bring it to you. i want to bring in rob guzanic. his daughter attends oxford high school. i m sorry for what you and your community are going through tonight. your daughter is a special needs student at the high school. what happened as you heard about the shooting there? first of all, it was like as the sheriff said, he said all the emergency services from all the surrounding communities were just rushing to oxford. it was nothing but sirens for at least 45 minutes once the text went out from the school that there was a lockdown at the school.
they can t identify him because he s a juvenile and he s not been charged as an adult, but whatever. we have a young person, 15 or 16 years old, a teenager, who got ahold of a weapon that his father bought just three or four days ago. they talk about the injuries of the folks. obviously, three people are dead here. a 16-year-old, a 14-year-old and a 17-year-old. there are a number of folks injured, including a teacher. there is a 47-year-old teacher, 17-year-old. a 14-year-old, 18-year-old, and those are the extent of people who were shot and killed and injured in this. so many more details. our reporters are on the scene, and i also want to bring in fbi assistant director former fbi assistant director chris weker. chris, i got a note from one of my colleagues, josh campbell, who is following along with me and sending me notes here.
