20/20 October 6 2023: “Catch Us If You Can”
When Vicky White disappeared with maximum-security inmate Casey White on her last morning as a corrections officer, local authorities feared that a violent felon had taken her hostage. When investigators dug deeper, they began to question Vicky’s role in Casey’s escape, which led to an 11-day, multistate search involving multiple law enforcement agencies. In a new “20/20,” co-anchor Deborah Roberts unpacks the case and the evidence that revealed the two missing persons knew each other better than anyone imagined.
The two-hour program features exclusive interviews with Georgineo Lopez, Casey’s former cellmate, who provides a first-hand account of Vicky and Casey’s relationship; Vicky’s friends and co-workers, including Tonya Lester, Candy Allen and Judge Carole Medley, who speak to Vicky’s character and devotion to her job; retired U.S. Marshal, Great Lakes Fugitive Task Force Bryan Bishop and former Vanderburgh County Sheriff Dave Wedding, members of the team that captured Casey and put him back in prison; Matt Burbank, a Lauderdale County Sheriff’s Office investigator and a friend of Vicky’s; Marshal Martin Keely, Commander Chad Hunt and Deputy Commander Ross Manley, who headed up the search for Casey and Vicky; Casey’s attorney, Mark McDaniel; and Major Jason Ashworth, the first police officer to interrogate Casey after authorities apprehended him. The episode also features exclusive police body camera and dashcam videos of the search’s climactic end and never-before-seen letters Casey wrote just before his capture, ultimately revealing the nature of his relationship with Vicky. “20/20” airs Friday, Oct. 6 (9:01-11:00 p.m. EDT), on ABC, next day on Hulu.
