アラバマ：収監者とスペシャル・リレーションシップな逃避行

　一方は殺人犯ほかで75年の判決持ち38歳、一方は長年勤めたはずの56歳の警官。あ、こいつ、ちょっと病気だから移送するよ―規定によれば警官二人か、まあちょっと、うんまあ―。

BBC Missing Alabama guard and inmate had 'special relationship' 4 May 2022

　―そしたらそのまま二人消え去ったそうな。
　移送のための診断書も偽物、警官の方は最近、家を売ったばかり。翌日は休日だったそうで―もう完璧な逃避行計画である。

「Friday - the day the pair went missing - was supposed to be her final day at work. She had recently sold her home and told colleagues she planned to spend more time at the beach.」

「Casey White was charged in September 2020 with murder over the stabbing of 58-year-old Connie Ridgeway. He was already serving 75 years for a series of violent crimes in 2015, including burglary, vehicle theft and a police chase.

He allegedly confessed to the murder, but later pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity, and was awaiting trial at the Lauderdale County Jail when he disappeared, authorities added.」

　犯人側のほうは、かなーりの凶悪犯で救いようがないが、いや実際のところイイ男。しかしともあれ発覚してすぐのこの段階では、このスペシャルリレーションシップがロマンスなのかどうかは公表されてない。

「An escaped inmate and a guard suspected of helping him had a "special relationship", say investigators.

The announcement from the Alabama sheriff's office said the discovery was confirmed by fellow inmates of missing prisoner Casey White, a murder suspect.

A manhunt is underway for the 38-year-old escapee and corrections officer Vicky White, 56 (no relation).

The pair vanished as she was transporting him to a bogus mental evaluation.

Police have not revealed whether the relationship was romantic.」

　なんでこぼれ話かって、両方ともWhiteさんなんですな。そしてスペシャルリレーションシップがあったというのに「Vicky White, 56 (no relation)」ノー・リレーションってなんだそれ（いやその、血縁関係にない、ということでしょうが）。
