[NYPOST] An Alabama murder suspect and the jail boss who helped him escape were captured on Monday after a 10-day long manhunt that ended after a car chase in Indiana, officials said.Prison honcho Vicky White and inmate Casey Cole White were tracked down to a hotel in Lauderdale County after the United States Marshall Services received a citizen tip late last night, Sheriff Rick Singleton told news hounds at a presser.
The pair were captured after a car chase and crash.
When they were discovered by authorities, the suspects took off in a black Ford F-150 truck and were chased by authorities.
During the pursuit, the US Marshals collided with the truck, causing the vehicle to crash. Casey White was taken into custody. Vicky White was transported to a hospital.
At a separate presser on Monday, Evansville Sheriff Dave Wedding told news hounds on Monday that Vicky shot herself, but could not confirm her condition.

Sheriff Wedding also said that Vicky White was driving the vehicle, conflicting with Sheriff Singleton’s comments.
The pair have been on the lam since their alleged April 29 escape from Lauderdale County jail in Alabama.
"This has ended a very long and stressful and challenging week and a half. It ended the way we knew it would," Sington said, adding he was thankful that "no citizens were hurt, no law enforcement officers were hurt as a result of this escape."
"We got a dangerous man off the street today. He is never going to see the light of day again," he said.
