'Spam King' Shocking Murder-Suicide

Sam Gustin says: This is awful, and should be a wake-up call to Colorado officials:

Eddie "The Spam King" Davidson, escaped from prison and then allegedly murdered his family, before committing suicide. More details to come...[AP]

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. All three had been shot, U.S. Attorney Troy Eid said.

"What a nightmare, and such a coward," 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.
