Convicted Spammer Escapes Prison, Kills Family, Self

Earlier this year, we reported on the sentencing of Edward Davidson of Louisville, Colorado. Davidson was sentenced to 21 months in federal prison for sending unsolicited e-mails, and a $715,000 fine for tax evasion. He serving his sentence at a minimum-security work camp, from which he escaped earlier this week. Yesterday, according to police reports, Davidson and his wife were found dead in an apparent suicide shooting in their car, along with their 8-month baby (who was alive).

Davidson also shot an unrelated teenage girl in the neck as she was running to get help. The wounded girl is currently being treated in the hospital. Our condolences go out to the families affected. [Sources: The Denver Post, and AOL News]
