Bad Romance: The Vicky White Story
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.
