Retired sheriff writes insider account of Casey and Vicky White manhunt

FLORENCE — The escape and manhunt of Lauderdale County Corrections Officer Vicky White and inmate Casey White made headlines throughout the country last year.

The search for the two culminated in a police chase in Evansville, Ind., and resulted in the suicide of Vicky White and the capture of Casey White.

Now, Rick Singleton, retired sheriff of Lauderdale County and self-described history buff, has written a book – “Manhunt: The Search for Vicky and Casey White: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.” It is available on Amazon.

According to the Amazon description, “This is the story of the escape as shared by Lauderdale County Sheriff Rick Singleton, the man responsible for seeing that Casey White was recaptured, and that Vicky White was returned to Alabama to face the consequences of her actions.”

“My primary reason for writing this book was to preserve the story for future generations, sharing what happened and my perspective on the case as the sheriff,” said Singleton. “This story will forever be part of the history of the county.”
