Escaped Lauderdale County inmate Casey Cole White and Vicky White, the missing assistant director of corrections who authorities say aided in his escape, are believed to be armed with an AR-15 and shotgun, the U.S. Marshals Service said Tuesday.
The two, who are not related, were last seen on April 29 in Rogersville in a gold/copper 2007 Ford Edge with Alabama plates, the Marshals Service said.
A $10,000 reward has been issued for information leading to the capture of Casey White and a $5,000 reward is offered for information leading to Vicky White.
The public should not approach either suspect, authorities say.

Vicky White, 56, is charged with permitting or facilitating escape in the first degree in connection with capital murder suspect Casey White’s escape from jail.
Authorities said Vicky White sold her home a month ago, and she was supposed to retire on Friday, the day she and Casey White disappeared.
Casey White, 38, was charged with capital murder in September 2020 in the brutal stabbing of 58-year-old Connie Ridgeway.
Casey White was already serving time for a 2015 crime spree that involved home invasion, carjacking, and a police chase. White confessed to the murder and was awaiting trial at the Lauderdale County Jail when he disappeared.
Both should be considered armed and dangerous.
Casey White stands 6 feet 9 inches and weighs approximately 330 pounds. He has brown hair and hazel eyes.
Vicky White is 5 feet 5 inches and weighs approximately 145 pounds. She has blond hair and brown eyes and reportedly has a waddling gait.
The Lauderdale County Sheriff’s Office on Tuesday said investigators have confirmed through inmates in the Lauderdale County Detention Center that there was “a special relationship” between the two.
“That relationship has been confirmed through our investigation with independent sources and means,” the department said in a statement.
