Tuesday 10 May 2022 09:47 PM Casey White and Vicky White's motel hideaway revealed trends now

Casey and Vicky White were aided by a local man who checked them into the motel in Evansville, Indiana, where the couple planned to lay low for two weeks, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal.

The fugitive lovers reached the end of the line Monday night when their 11-day-stretch on the lam came to a tragic conclusion after a car chase that resulted in Vanderburgh County Sheriff's officers ramming the couple's stolen Cadillac off the road and into a ditch.

Moments later, Sheriff Dave Wedding said at a press conference held Tuesday morning, Vicky, 56, shot herself. She later died from the injuries that he described only as 'grave.'

Sheriff Wedding held a picture of Casey White, 38, aloft as he told how the felon intended to engage in a shoot-out had his vehicle not flipped, thwarting his plan. The couple were heavily armed with four semi-automatic 9mm handguns and an AR-15 recovered from the car.

The sheriff said that prison escapee showed 'no remorse' for the death of the woman he described as his 'wife.' 

Now DailyMail.com has exclusively learned that the couple, who share a last name but are not related, arrived in Evansville on May 3 and received assistance by a local man whose identity remains unknown.

Speaking exclusively to DailyMail.com Motel 41 manager Paul Shaw revealed: 'They stayed in a room not in their name. Somebody else rented the room and checked them in.

'A local man with a local ID checked in and signed the stub. I never saw them – I wish I had – but they stayed in the room.'

According to Shaw: 'People come and go here, we don't keep track.'

There were few cars in the motel parking lot when DailyMail.com visited the two-story facility Tuesday.

Rooms are all accessed independently by exterior doors and guests need never walk through the small reception area except to use the vending machine or to check in – a process that White and Vicky avoided.

'The police have all of the information and the ID. They have been here and spoken to everybody,' Shaw said. 

Shaw, an electrical engineer by trade, said that he works the morning shift and never saw White or Vicky who, police say, attempted to disguise herself with a variety of red and blonde wigs.

Sheriff Wedding revealed that $29,000 in cash was recovered from White and Vicky's vehicle, money which, he said, was 'what was left' of the $90,000 cash that Vicky got from the sale of her house and reportedly withdrew over several weeks.

Asked where the bulk of the money had gone, Sheriff Wedding told DailyMail.com: 'They spent it. They spent it on multiple vehicles, equipment, a gun, hotel, meals, clothes…$60,000 can go pretty quick if you're spending $6,000 a pop.'

Vicky used some of the cash and an alias to purchase the bronze 2007 Ford Edge in which they initially fled before abandoning it on a rural road in Tennessee about two hours north of the Florence, Alabama, jail from which White was sprung.

According to US Marshalls the couple then spent $6,000 on a Ford F-150 which was spotted parked at an odd angle at an Evansville carwash where White was also pictured on surveillance footage.

US Marshals Commander Chad Hunt said at Tuesday's press conference that the couple are believed to have purchased another vehicle. 

But the grey Cadillac in which they ultimately fled and that was spotted by a patrol officer at the Motel 41 came up as stolen when the officer ran its plates on May 4.

Shaw said that the local man who reserved Room 150 for the couple booked it for 14 days and paid in cash. Rooms at Motel 41 cost approximately $44 a night along with a $25 cash deposit required upon booking.

Ultimately the couple spent only six days there, and according to Shaw, the man who made the booking has now taken occupancy of the room.

Speaking to DailyMail.com Sheriff Wedding confirmed that a third party had made the booking and said that the man who had been paid, 'a few hundred bucks' had not broken any laws.

He said that the man had no prior connections to the couple who appeared to have chosen him for the task at random.

Images obtained by DailyMail.com show the simple rooms with an open clothes rack for hanging garments, small table and wall mounted television like the one in which White and Vicky stayed.

Shaw would not give details of the man but said: 'The police know everything. Casey and Vicky were never technically here, they were never on the books, and they didn't check in under false names. You cannot check in here without a valid ID. This man checked in for them.'

According to Sheriff Wedding, White and Vicky had 'no connections' to the area and had simply intended to lay low while they figured out where to go next.
