Fugitive spammer dies in murder-suicide
Colorado officials say man, woman, 3-year-old dead; 2 survive ordeal

BENNETT, Colo. - A convicted spammer and his wife, who were being sought after she helped him escape prison, were found slain along with their young daughter Thursday in an apparent murder-suicide, authorities said.

A teenage girl was shot in the neck and a baby was found unhurt in a car seat inside the vehicle where the three bodies were found, Arapahoe County undersheriff Mark Campbell said. The relationship between the girl, baby and the escaped convict wasn't immediately clear.

The bodies of "Spam King" Edward "Eddie" Davidson, his wife, and 3-year-old daughter were found in an SUV parked in a farmhouse driveway in a rural part of Bennett, about 25 miles east of Denver. Authorities said Davidson was the apparent gunman.
That's just crazy.

Yesterday I laughed when I read that he escaped from jail with his wife. Today I just can't believe it. There must have been something more to it. His sentence was only like 2 years or something like that. To take out your whole family like that rather than a 2 year prison sentence and a couple hundred thousand in fines (that he'd probably never end up paying anyway, or just a tiny part of it), doesn't make sense.

Agreed. Of course there are those who would crack jokes about tinfoil hats, but that doesn't make sense at all whatsoever....
