Does Alabama have dumb cops?

[msc545]

Authorities on Friday said they found the getaway vehicle an escaped inmate and corrections officer may have used when they mysteriously disappeared from a northern Alabama jail one week ago.

But officials say the officer, Vicky White, 56, and inmate, Casey White, 38, were long gone by the time authorities located the abandoned 2007 orange Ford Edge in a Tennessee towing lot. Authorities say the officer used an alias to purchase the SUV and is likely using new false identities as the manhunt continues for the pair.

"We're sort of at a loss," Lauderdale County Sheriff Rick Singleton said Friday, noting the discovery of the vehicle puts them "back at square one." "This is a very calculated plan," he added.

Wow. They chose an orange Ford Edge? They should have used a blue Honda Accord. Or at least something SOMEWHAT less conspicuous! I'm surprised they still got away.

[msc545]

I was surprised at that also

Thanks for the MHO.

They are in love. They could be anywhere. Some part of me hopes they live happily ever after.

I hear you! I would feel better if he weren't a murderer, but I take comfort in the old saying in the South that "some people need killin".

[exitseven]

yes, he really sounds like a bad guy. I hope he doesn't kill her.

[msc545]

I hope not as well. I doubt he will, somehow.

@msc545 This is a Hallmark movie in the making.

[msc545]

Yes! Who would you pick to play each of them (Amber Heard is out as is Jonny Depp)

She's 56, alone, her husband died not long ago. He sounds like he's a player, good with his words and manipulation. She is desperate, almost 60, and totally alone. Easy prey for his type.

[msc545]

She looks fairly good for 60.

[t-8900]

not my type. I feel bad for her though. She's a very sad person. I'd hate to see something bad happen to her but she's in too deep now. So sad

[msc545]

She did sort of wreck her retirement I suppose...

no, I suspect being a cop is a lot more difficult than the rest of us think.
If they planned this and know the game, makes it difficult.
