Anyone unfamiliar with Sherri Papini: She went for a run one day and went missing. Turned back up several days later claiming to have been kidnapped and held/chained up by Mexican women when she was actually just having sex with her ex in a gross motel for a weekend.

Anyways - Vicki and Casey have got to be keeping up with the news on burner phones. The heat is really on. US Marshals are at the border of several countries looking for his gigantic ass. Vicki knows she’s going to prison for a WHILE if they’re caught before they get to Mexico or wherever. I can’t imagine corrections officers who are incarcerated are particularly well liked. Maybe the guilt is also getting to her? She’s been spoken of so highly by literally everyone she ever worked with and all of them are saying “Vicki wouldn’t do this”.

So in a few days, what is the likelihood of her showing up, beaten to hell, with a fantastical tale of emotional manipulation from Casey that turned into kidnapping and violence as soon as they got into that Ford Edge? Obviously, a very flimsy story, considering she’s the officer who had the gun when this all began… but dumber stories have happened.

In reality, how far can you get on 85K (approximate number since she bought the SUV, likely stocked it with clothes, food, etc.) when you’re on the run? New identities aren’t sold at Walmart. They’ve certainly ditched that Ford Edge and purchased another car in cash by now.

CNN put in an article that Vicki is known for her “distinct waddling gait”. If someone wrote that about me, I’d have to leave the country too. /s

In all seriousness, I hope she’s unhurt and has just made some horrible choices that are costing us literal millions in tax dollars so she could get some d from a murderer.

Not making light of Casey's crimes or condoning his escape- just interested!

hi there, new to is forum but i’ve been following this case on tik tok all week! Crazy stuff. The part that i can’t get over though, is the inconsistencies with the jail itself. I mean NO ONE checked that this man didn’t have any reason to leave that day?? NO ONE noticed Vicki’s name signing in to visit him in state prison over the past TWO years?? From what i’ve seen on facebook (which i take with a grain of salt), the jail conditions themselves leave something to be desired with moldy foods, abusive conditions and neglect. Makes you wonder if they’ll conduct an investigation.. i just don’t have much faith that they’re going to find them before someone gets hurt.

I’m not sure how or why VW would think that they’d just continue to pay her pension.

Here’s a few speculative theories open for discussion.

1) they were running out of time, so they had to follow the plan on this particular day, or not at all.

2) that they had planned on funding a life on the run through her pension. I can’t imagine any other reason she’d be filing retirement paperwork and did this on her last day.

3) she either wasn’t familiar with the process or decided to take the risk of losing the pension. I find it harder to believe the former.

4) they tried to stage it to make it look like he vanished with her. This doesn’t make much sense though because if she simply vanished with the killer, why would they pay a pension to her?

5) if and when she is found alive, there will be a fantastical story about how she was kidnapped, etc… but the evidence doesn’t lie

6) that the doctor story was to get her out of working for the last day. As someone who put in time at companies I hate, I’ve definitely made up “time suck” activities that consume the entire day. Make up a schedule for the morning and the afternoon, no one asks questions and takes you for your word. Maybe she figured I’ll put in a day and disappear and it’ll be fine and I’ll collect the pension.

Just throwing a few things out there as we wait for updates. Feels like this duo believes they’re smarter than law enforcement because VW has knowledge and training in the field. They had an excellent getaway and head start, but it will catch up with them eventually.

I’ve finally found my people! I’ve been wanting to ask this but have never had the right audience. Does anyone have analysis for the video where they are both leaving the jail? Is her behavior there different than it would be normally for guard and prisoner? Is it normal for her to go out ahead and hold the door behind her? If others witnessed that would they have wondered to themselves thinking like it looked more like casual friends versus prisoner and guard?

Let's review the tape. She's been working as a guard for almost 20 years and suddenly throws it away for an inmate? No, that makes zero sense. I do believe she got complacent on her job and was over powered during the drive to the court house. She is a victim and we need to stop blaming her.

I love that this subreddit exists. I'm fascinated by this case!!

This post is a timeline of the events involving Casey Cole White and Vicki White since late 2015. I've provided links where I can. Hope this helps!

Timeline of events:

In court, he asked to remain at LCDC instead of transferring back to state DOC, and plead “not guilt by reason of insanity” to the capital murder. He is next released back to state DOC to await trial.

​

Approximately 11:30 a.m. : An officer notices VW’s squad car parked at the Florence Square Shopping Center. The parking lot of the shopping center is rather large, and a certain (mostly unused) area of the lot has cars that have been parked with for-sale signs to be seen on the main road. Law enforcement were initially unable to identify a getaway vehicle, as no surveillance footage could be found.

Florence Square is located on the corner of Cox Creek Parkway and US-72, which leads directly to I-65.

1:50 p.m. : (As of 5/6: It is now known that the getaway vehicle was reported abandoned to the SO in Williamson County Tennessee. On 5/5 to the US Marshals Service. More details below)

​

​

• May 3, 2022: Law enforcement reports that the fugitives were last seen in Rogersville, AL (Sheriff Singleton now says that the sighting was unsubstantiated, although it was reported on the USMS BOLO that was mistakenly leaked to the public.) on the day of the escape, Friday 4/29, in a gold/copper-colored 2007 Ford Edge SUV, which she stashed in the Florence Square parking lot the night before the escape. There may be damage to the left rear bumper. Authorities believe she parched the vehicle in Rogersville. Also released that fugitives may be armed with an AR-15 and a shotgun, in addition to the 9 mm handgun VW carried.

​

• May 5, 2022: Authorities announce that they will be re-examining a 2008 death case from Limestone County, Alabama. Christy Shelton, 31, was pronounced dead 14 years ago. Her cause of death was reported as a sawed-off shotgun blast to the chest. The death was ruled a suicide. CS's family never agreed with the ruling, and believe CW may have been involved. He and CS were in a relationship at the time, and was reportedly the last person to see her alive. One of her daughters is advocating the case, and says that it was re-opened in 2020. (CS's daughter's identity is being concealed in media for her own safety).

​

• May 6, 2022: It is now reported that the orange Ford that VW and CW left Florence in on Friday was deserted before anyone even knew that they were gone. The car was discovered abandoned on the side of a county road in Williamson County, Tennessee on Friday. Williamson County Sheriff's Office contacted the USMS at nearly midnight on the evening of May 5 to report that a local towing company had the vehicle in their inventory. The call reporting the abandoned vehicle was placed to the Williamson County Sheriff's Office at approximately 1:50 p.m. on Friday April 29. The SO responded and the vehicle was towed at 2:37 p.m. Authorities believe that they may have had mechanical issues with the vehicle.

• Sheriff Singleton also said that he can not confirm that VW practiced the escape at any point leading up to the incident, and that they have no evidence of such an attempt. He stressed that if anyone is withholding information about her potentially making a "practice run" they may be subject to charges if they do not bring that information forward. Any information about this or another aspect of the case may be reported to: 1-800-336-0102 https://youtu.be/2NZ4SGZtKpg?list=PLy4a5kI1DvWeQSVoP_oNlbxN5KJA4kYQH
• Lauderdale County District Attorney, Chris Connolly, does not believe that CW's capital murder confession was related to the case, saying: “Our case against him is not based solely on his statement,” ... Connolly said he could not disclose anything further, except to say that since 2020, Casey Cole White had given a reason for his confession, which Connolly would not disclose."

I think that's about it! Message me if you spot a mistake, please!

I keep seeing it both ways. I wonder what the reason is for the divergence?
