Weird twist .....
Lauderdale County Sheriff Rick Singleton says the vehicle used by inmate Casey Cole White and former corrections supervisor Vicky Sue White was found in Tennessee about an hour before anyone in Lauderdale County realized the two were missing.
The orange 2007 Ford Edge was reported abandoned in the Bethesda community of rural Williamson County, Tennessee, at about 1:55 p.m. April 29, about four hours after the two left the Lauderdale County Detention Center in Florence.
"They found the car before we ever knew they were gone," Singleton said.
Singleton said he believes it was mechanical issues with the vehicle that led Vicky White and Casey White to abandon the vehicle on the side of a rural county road a few miles east of Interstate 65. He said he's not sure how they left from there.
What law enforcement does know, he said, is that the vehicle was reported and towed to a lot at 2:37 p.m. April 29, about one hour before Vicky White and Casey White were reported missing. Days later, an alert with the vehicle's description was leaked to the public, and this alert triggered the tow truck driver's memory.
