Alabama authorities searching for an inmate and the corrections officer who removed him from jail

Authorities in Lauderdale County, Alabama, are searching for a corrections officer and an inmate charged with murder who went missing Friday morning.

Vicki White, assistant director of corrections at the Lauderdale County Sheriff's Office, and inmate Casey White were last seen about 9:30 a.m. Friday when she removed him from the jail, supposedly to take him to the county courthouse for a mental evaluation, Lauderdale County Sheriff Rick Singleton said. The officer and the inmate are not related.

Vicki White told a guard she was going to drop off Casey White at the courthouse and seek medical care because she wasn't feeling well.
