A new mugshot photo released early Tuesday shows Casey Cole White, the Alabama prison escapee, just hours after he was caught in Indiana following 11 days on the run.
Records show he was booked into Vanderburgh County Jail in Evansville, Indiana, at 1:42 a.m. local time.
Casey White, 38, and 56-year-old Vicky White, who are not related, fled from the Lauderdale County Detention Center in Florence, Alabama, on April 29. They were located in Evansville, Indiana, on Monday afternoon. Their capture was preceded by a police chase and then a crash, at which point Vicky White shot herself, officials said.

Vicky was rushed to a local hospital, but later died.
The pair were said to have been in the midst of a “jailhouse romance” when they fled from the Florence, Alabama, facility in Vicky’s marked vehicle. The woman, an assistant director of corrections at the facility, left alone with Casey claiming she was taking him to an evaluation at the county courthouse.
But no evaluation was scheduled for that morning. April 29 – the day of the escape – was also supposed to be Vicky’s last day on the job before her retirement.

The couple then switched into a 2007 Ford Edge SUV and appear to have driven north. They then abandoned the vehicle in Williamson, Tennessee, and at some point picked up a Ford F-150 that was reportedly stolen from Tennessee. The F-150 was found abandoned in Evansville, Indiana, on May 3.

Officers and federal agents went to investigate and “soon thereafter, the male and female fled in the vehicle,” Wedding said. He said Vicky White was driving and described the vehicle as a Cadillac.
The suspects then drove through a grassy area where Marshals “intercepted then actually collided with them, to try to end the pursuit,” Wedding went on.
“When this occurred, the female driver of the vehicle shot herself and the passenger was injured.
Both suspects were hospitalized for their injuries, but Vicky White later died.
