Update: "Missing Alabama guard and inmate had 'special relationship'

[Princess Turandot]

4. There's a curious thing about this saga..

In late 2019, Casey White had commenced serving a 75 year sentence for a host of violent crimes that he committed in 2015. He was incarcerated in a prison in the northern end of Alabama.

In 2020, completely out of the blue, he contacted the Lauderdale County sheriff's office and confessed to the unsolved murder of a woman that had occurred in 2015 in Lauderdale County. (This crime was unrelated to the ones he was convicted of in 2019.)

When detectives interviewed him, they determined that he knew some facts about the murder that supposedly had never been released to the public. He was eventually indicted, and sometime later, was transferred to the Lauderdale County jail, so he would be present for various court hearings. He then changed his defense to an insanity claim.

Without that unsolicited confession - and to a capital crime, no less! - he would have been parked 100 miles away from the jail where Ms White was employed.
