Vicky White, an Alabama corrections official, and Casey Cole White, an escaped capital murder suspect, were apprehended Monday afternoon in Evansville, Indiana, more than 200 miles away from where they disappeared on April 29.

Lauderdale County Sheriff Rick Singleton said authorities received a tip that Vicky White and Casey White — who are not related — were in Evansville, and they were later spotted driving in a Ford F-150. Officers began chasing the car, and it crashed. Casey White, who was driving, surrendered without incident, while Vicky White suffered a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, the U.S. Marshals Service told CBS News. Vicky White was rushed to a hospital, where she died of her injuries.
