‘Jailbreak: Love on the Run’ looks at Casey White, a man who escaped prison with a corrections officer. Here’s where he is now.

After being re-captured, Casey was originally charged with felony murder for Vicky’s death, since her death was a result of aiding his escape from Lauderdale County Jail.

On May 5, 2023, Casey agreed to a deal in which he pleaded guilty to first-degree escape in order to not be prosecuted for felony murder, CNN reported.

While delivering his guilty plea, Casey apologized to Vicky’s mother, Alabama news outlet, WHNT, reported. “It wasn’t supposed to go that way,” he said.

Casey received a life sentence for the prison escape, and he remains in the William E. Donaldson Correction Facility in Bessemer, according to the Alabama Department of Corrections.

In February 2024, Fox News reported that the Lauderdale District Attorney’s office dropped the capital murder case against Casey for the 2015 murder of Ridgeway that he previously confessed to.

Casey claimed that he was hired to kill Ridgeway. But her son, Austin Williams, told Fox News that he doesn’t believe the confession was legitimate.

He said: “Casey White’s confession is basically BS. There’s really no other evidence against him. The confessions mentioned people that were associated, kind of sort of, with my mother. They kind of sort of made sense, but it wasn’t easy to prove, I guess, the money changing hands.”
