Casey Cole White, in a jailhouse interview last December, claimed that he killed a woman and a baby while he and Vicky White were on the run last year from authorities.

NewsNation is reporting White made the admission during a phone interview, which authorities do not believe.

While speaking with NewsNation National Correspondent Brian Entin, Casey White made the admission, saying the murder happened while he and Vicky White were staying in an Evansville, Ind. motel.

“I got a woman and a baby girl buried up in Evansville, Indiana,” White said.

White was sketchy on details, saying he would only talk to the Federal Bureau of Investigation about the alleged crime.

“There is a dead body up there that ain’t been buried yet,” he said. He made the admission, he said, because he “had to get it off my chest” and “do the right thing.”

Police in Evansville, Ind., however, say there are no missing person cases matching what White says. Authorities also pointed to false confessions in Casey White’s past. White’s attorneys say they White is lying in an effort to be transferred out of prison.

“I think that is highly unlikely,” Robert Tuten, one of the attorneys representing White, said.

On Thursday, moments before his sentencing, White told an Alabama court that he had Vicky White, “just wanted a new life together because she knew the truth. I can handle the truth because I know who I am. I chose this road. It’s cost me my life and freedom.”

White, 39, had been charged with murder in the May 9, 2022 death of Vicky White, the Lauderdale County jail officer who walked out with Casey White on April 29, 2022.

Vicky White, who was not related to Casey, took her own life with a gunshot to the head in Evansville, Ind.

Police were closing in on them following an 11-day manhunt, after Vicky helped Casey escape from the Lauderdale County Jail. Casey White, who reportedly was also injured by Vicky’s fatal shot, faced murder charges because Vicky White’s death occurred during the commission of a felony.

Casey White also faces a capital murder trial set for Aug. 14 for the 2015 slaying of Connie Ridgeway in Rogersville. He was arrested after confessing to the crime by letter.

When he escaped from jail, White was being held for the trial, then just weeks away. That trial was delayed in the aftermath of the escape and White retaining a new team of attorneys.

White is currently serving a 75-year sentence for convictions stemming from an array of 2015 charges, including attempted murder.
