The bodies of so-called "Spam King" Edward Davidson, his wife and three-year-old daughter have been found in an SUV in Bennett, Colorado (about 25 miles east of Denver.) Davidson and his wife were being tracked down by police after she helped him escape from prison Sunday. He was being held at a minimum-security federal facility in Florence after pleading guilty to falsifying header information to send spam e-mail, tax evasion and criminal forfeiture. Deputies responding to a call of shots fired found Davidson dead on the driver's side of the SUV and his wife dead on the passenger's side. The couple's daughter was found dead in the back of the vehicle. A boy believed to be eight-months old was in a car seat unhurt. Investigators say Davidson was the shooter. An unidentified teenage girl who had been shot in the neck made the 911 call from a nearby house.
