In this episode, we’re taking a look at Lifetime’s Bad Romance: The Vicky White Story and the unbelievable true story behind it.
Vicky White was a longtime corrections officer living a quiet, ordinary life when she developed a relationship with inmate Casey White. What began as a connection behind prison walls eventually became something much deeper, and Vicky found herself willing to risk everything for the man she believed she loved.
In April 2022, Vicky helped Casey leave the detention center, and the two disappeared together. Their time on the run lasted eleven days before authorities found them, bringing their story to a tragic end.
But the biggest question remains: Was it really love?
