- Alabama corrections officer Vicky White and escaped fugitive Casey White spent 10 days on the run.

The Indiana Motel 41 room where Alabama corrections officer Vicky White and escaped fugitive Casey White turned into a hideout now has a waitlist of people who want to stay there, a receptionists told NBC News.
"I'm getting like a million phone calls for it," the desk receptionist, who asked not to be named, told the outlet.
The receptionist said there were "quite a few people" on the waiting list for the room. WHNT reported that there are over 65 people on the waitlist.
"It's pretty strange," the receptionist told NBC News.
Additionally, they added that the average cost for the room has also gone up since the couple were apprehended earlier this month. An average room at the motel costs $63 for a night, but room 150, where the couple hideout now costs between $75 and $100, NBC News reported.
The corrections officer and fugitive inmate were captured on May 9 at the motel, 10 days after they were reported missing by the Lauderdale County Sheriff's Office. On April 29, Vicky White said she was transporting Casey White to the court room for a mental health evaluation but the pair never returned.
Casey White, who was being held on capital murder charges, has no relation to Vicky White.
Vicky White died from a self-inflicted gun-shot wound during the manhunt to capture the pair.
