A convicted spammer killed his wife and young daughter in an apparent murder-suicide Thursday while being sought after escaping prison last weekend, 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.
“What a nightmare, and such a coward,” U.S. Attorney Troy Eid said. “Davidson imposed the ‘death penalty’ on family members for his own crime.”
Authorities had been searching for Davidson since Sunday, when he and his wife drove away from a minimum-security federal prison in Florence, 90 miles south of Denver.
What a miserable low-life!
Not much of a king !
Charbox,
I recommend you read up on “Yahoo Domain Keys” and “SPF” before you continue on the topic.

Thanks mouring, DomainKeys and SPF sound interesting. But they still aren’t an Internet wide standard for identifying users and mail servers. It only identifies Yahoo and Google servers, and they may have algorithms to identify that their users aren’t bots or spammers. An worldwide email-ID registration system is required. And you say on your blog that you feel SPF is a broken protocol and weirdly enough in one of your latest blog posts, you wrote that you think spammers should die. It’s a really sad coincidence even though you probably didn’t really mean it..
I know this is completely off topic and the editors can pin a goofy little icon on my post.
Randy Pausch has died of pancreatic cancer. He was a virtual reality professor at Carnegie Mellon and is best known around the internet for his last lecture (see below).
When I look at Eddie Davidson and how he lived and how died I have a mix of negative emotions. I’m glad there are people in the world like Professor Pausch who can live, and die, with wit, humor, curiosity, love, and unflappable dignity.
Forget Eddie, remember Randy.

The kind of guy who would spam is the same kind of guy who would die in a murder suicide.
The kind of guy who would out a CIA agent is the same kind of guy who would hit-and-run an old homeless guy with his Corvette.
