Re: Escapee 'Spam King' Dead in Apparent Murder-Suicide

["Richard M. Smith" <rms () computerbytesman com>]

The guy sounds like a classic family annihilator.  He had to "protect" his
family from his failure by killing them and then himself.  Too bad his wife
helped him escape from going to jail.

Convicted spammer Eddie Davidson, who escaped from federal prison[1] over
the weekend, killed his wife and 3-year-old daughter before killing himself
in what is being described as a murder-suicide.

Colorado's 9News.com said [2] the tragic end of the man known as the
'Spam King' was confirmed by the U.S. Attorney's Office.
