TWO BODIES FOUND AT HOME OF STEROIDS DEALER
Posted by Josh Alper on June 5, 2008, 12:38 p.m.

According to the Dallas Morning News, police have found two bodies at the Plano, Texas home of David Jacobs. Jacobs, a convicted steroid dealer, recently shared the names of NFL players with whom he claimed to have done business.

There’s very little information other than the existence of the two bodies at Jacobs’s home at the moment, as the police are withholding their identities until next of kin are notified.

Jacobs received three years probation and a $25,000 fine after his conviction for running an extensive steroids ring. Although he told the NFL the names of people he met and, presumably, dealt with while in the steroid business, Jacobs did not go public with any of those fingered except for Matt Lehr.

UPDATE: Jacobs was one of those found dead at the scene. A woman named Amanda Jo Earhart-Savell and a gun were also found at the scene according to the Dallas Morning News.

UPDATE ON DAVID JACOBS STORY
Posted by Josh Alper on June 5, 2008, 6:08 p.m.
More information has been made public about the discovery of the bodies of David Jacobs and Amanda Jo Earhart-Savell at Jacobs’s house in Plano today.

Police were responding to a missing persons call from Earhart-Savell’s family just after midnight this morning when they arrived at the house and found both parties dead with a gun nearby. Jacobs and Earhart-Savell had been an on-and-off couple and were once engaged. Both died from gunshot wounds and weren’t willing to speculate about the nature of the gunshots. Heather Bowden, a spokeswoman for the Plano police told the New York Times, “At this point, it is a homicide investigation, and we have no reason to believe otherwise.”

The NFL issued a statement expressing sympathy for both families and said that their investigation into the information provided by Jacobs is ongoing.

And, in a chilling final note, ESPN the Magazine writer Shaun Assael had been in contact with Jacobs throughout the last month. Assael said he was reticent and nervous about the information he’d provided because “the kinds of people I know about could put a bullet in the back of my head.”

awful story, can't help but think someone out there knew he had info on him that was going to get him in trouble and that lead to his murder... Unfortunate set of circumstances whether its murder, or murder/suicide whichever it turns out to be..
