Photo of Vicky White. She stayed two nights at a local motel before springing Casey White.
And there is some info coming out that Vicky had been in the habit of treating certain inmates with special considerations. Her treatment of Casey was not unique. There is speculation that she might be using the goodwill of former inmates to evade capture.
This sounds too much like a movie plot to me. But who knows?
I cannot find an article stating she spent $19,000 on a 2007 Ford Escape. Not saying she didn't. I am finding some newer Escapes for around that price, like a 2018 model. I found one 2007 model for under $6000. If she paid that much for a 2007 model that then broke down two hours later, she got severely duped by the car lot. That and selling her house for so much under market value is not the sign of a smart woman. They had evidently been planning this for a while, but she waited until the last minute to sell her house and buy the car. She sounds desperate, not smart.
It could be that she was undecided about carrying out the plan until a couple of months ago. Any such extreme, life-altering plan with an absolute no point of return carries misgivings and second thoughts. Once it solidified as a definite decision, she had a very limited timeframe in which to set up all the pieces. Selling a house at market value would have taken much, much longer. She didn't live in a 'hot' real estate zone or anything, so I'm sure she was looking at months of it sitting there, with zero control over the date of sale. Meanwhile, Casey White's trial was set for next month. So actually, I do think it was a smart move once she decided she needed the large sum of cash quick. And really, if you're going to go on the lam, 90k is a respectable sum of money. Keep in mind that there is only so much you can withdraw in cash at any one time.
No idea where people are getting the price tag of 19k for the used beater, and I've followedthe story closely. We don't even know if or whatkind of mechanical failure the car experienced. LE is not releasing a lot of details to the public in order not to compromise the investigation.

The vehicle that was found (that had been towed from sitting on the road) was an Edge, not an Escape.
I think the Ford "Escape" thing was a joke that was going around. But, again, that's just something I heard.
Yes, before she bought it they were on the edge of escape, once it was purchased and parked for easy getaway, it became an Escape. When they dumped it in Tennessee, it was again on the edge of being destroyed in a crusher, hence the confusion in models.
She had planned on getting a Charger, but knowing how the authorities would check for CC receipts in the surrounding states, she chose to travel with cash instead.
She originally was going to buy a Chevy Volt, but it made Casey nervous..... it resembled an electric chair!
