Any details on the Cadillac? Year, model?
I haven't found that info yet. Here's more tidbits that I did discover:
Officers try to find clues and show pictures of Vicky and Casey to rural Tennessee. They discovered a house with some cars and trucks for sale on the lawn, Kelly said. The landlord immediately recognized a photo of Casey White and helped officers piece together what had happened. He told investigators that he sold a Ford F-150 pickup truck to White for cash. The truck didn’t have a license plate, but White didn’t care, the man told officers.
“He says, ‘Yeah, I sold him a truck,'” Kelly said of the landlord. “And so, we learned that he sold her a truck on the same day they fled the Lauderdale County Correctional Facility. And it was only hours after they had escaped.”
During the sale, a woman in an orange Ford pulled over and the two followed each other, the man told officers. And the landlord provided another clue — the pickup truck’s vehicle identification number, or VIN, according to Kelly.
The two left the Ford Edge and made their way to Evansville, Indiana, where Casey White eventually dropped the pickup in the bay of the car wash.
In Evansville, investigators believe, the two used their identities to pay a homeless man to rent them a hotel room, paying a cash advance for a 14-day stay. They were living in the motel under the fictitious surname and had acquired a third car, a Cadillac sedan.
The manager of the car wash first saw the abandoned pickup truck on May 3 and realized something was wrong when he was there the next morning. He called the police, and an officer came out, pulled the license plate, took a report, and left. The car was not stolen and there was nothing they could do for the local police.
There was a break on Sunday as the officer had written the VIN in a report. Kelly’s team noticed this while examining the database. The runaway team landed on Evansville, working with fellow deputy marshals in Indiana.
Surveillance video from the car wash showed a Cadillac. Kelly said task force investigators began investigating motel and restaurant parking lots.
Eventually, they found the car at a local motel and kept it under observation. Kelly said Vicky White soon emerged with 6-foot-9 Casey White in a wig. They jumped into the Cadillac and followed them in secret with the marshals, but the officers were spotted, according to Keeley.
