While he was in prison. his whole confession was probably a ploy so this escape could take place. the fact that she sold her house, got $96,000 in cash, which only $29,000 was left when they were caught, bought the cars under an alias, got wigs, bought him a change of clothes, this was a long term plan. i think the big question we have at this point, laura, is what was the end game. how does this end? was it always going to end in a shootout? or did they think they were going to get to canada, did they have a safe house? i think these interviews will reveal a lot once we find out what casey white has to say. something she said, and i want to turn to you, greg, on this, the prosecutor in me, when i hear a statement that perhaps the confession to the crime to which he will have a trial involving the murder of another woman, that maybe that was not a true confession or one that was
and of course we re talking about west virginia, the results are coming in, we wonder who has the most influence going forward as well. we know of course from john s conversation that even senator manchin has weighed in in favor of a republican primary candidate here. so a lot more to get to there. we ll have you back on, dana, david, and abby, thank you so much. coming up, brand-new details emerging from the alabama fugitive manhunt that ended yesterday in indiana with the capture of an escaped convict and with an ex-correction officer s death. we have new dash cam video released of casey white being taken into custody. back in a moment with the sheriff on that case and what was found in their possession, how they managed to escape, and stay on the run for so long. that s next. dove knows we damage our hair a lot
Would immediately know. but him not actually having a scheduled court appearance, he wasn t missed at the courthouse because he wasn t supposed to be there to start with. that s why you consider her the mastermind, the idea of being able to know methodically all these different things, the six-hour lead time, her putting in for her retirement, the $29,000 in cash, not the sort of thing a normal inmate would have on hand. i think he s 6 9 , if i m not mistaken, how does this extraordinarily large individual evade for so long? they had to be quite methodical in being able to plan this. it was, she had assets. to escape from a county jail, it s sort of an opportunist kind of situation, they see an opportunity, they take advantage of it. and sometimes they plan them. but they usually don t have any plans once they get outside. they certainly don t have the resources that vicky and casey
It s playing out in many respects like a movie and of course it s a tragedy and loss of life not only from the person who was supposed to be the person as a corrections officer, but also fled with him. and i want to gynwith you, casey, because i m curious about the psychology behind this, the idea of what might motivate, to answer the question of what the sheriff said, what in the world would have possessed her to engage in this behavior. what do you think? the conclusion he came to was jailhouse romance. and i think the public s getting used to this new phrase we re bantering about, the sexual and emotional attraction of a person but usually a woman to a heinous or violent criminal, usually a man. there s number of reasons why women are attracted to bad boys, especially in prison. sometimes it s fame. but in this particular case i think she really believed that she was in love with him, maybe she thought she understood him and nobody else did, maybe she
Part of an overall scheme, as a prosecutor i have concerns about the ability and viability of that case going forward now. but i know from a different perspective, you must have concerns about the viability of the safety protocols that are in place there. the idea that the sheriff has said, craig, that she was essentially able to break out casey white, the protocols or guardrails that should have been in place or were not followed or were able to lead to this, what changes do you think need to be made going forward to avoid what has happened here? hi, laura. well, first of all, these inmates, they have nothing to lose. so they will study every officer that s in the facility and they will find the weakest link that they can possibly exploit. so they re very manipulative. they re scheming, cunning. and you can t put anything past
