Teen recounts father's deadly rampage

As the gunshots exploded inside the Toyota Sequoia, the 16-year-old girl in the back seat twisted and ducked in a desperate fight to get away from the death unfolding around her.

Just minutes before, on the way to the long, dusty driveway in front of the family's former home, the girl's disgraced father had said he had a gift for everyone. Now Eddie Davidson stood outside the driver's door of the silver SUV, a huge summer sky stretched out above him, firing shots from a .45-caliber pistol.

The first bullet killed his wife, Amy Lee Ann Hill, 29. The third one ended the life of his 3-year-old daughter, Bailey, strapped helplessly into her car seat.

In between, Davidson - dubbed the "Spam King" after being convicted of sending thousands of illegal e-mail solicitations - shot at his oldest daughter. That bullet ripped across the back of the girl's neck, just grazing her skin, and an instant later she jerked open the door and ran.
