David Jacobs, seen after pleading guilty to steroid charges in 2007, recently met with NFL officials -- and according to his lawyer, gave them the names of players who had received drugs he had made. He was found dead on Thursday.
Early Thursday morning, Plano police made a welfare check and found 35-year-old David Jacobs and 30-year-old Amanda Jo Earhart-Savell dead. Both had been shot.


Officer Rick McDonald, a police spokesman, said the officers were making a welfare check after relatives of Earhart-Savell expressed concern about her whereabouts.

According to the Dallas Morning News, which first reported the story, Jacobs and Earhart-Savell had been in an on-again, off-again relationship, and at one point were engaged to be married.

Heather Bowden, also a spokeswoman for the Plano police, told the New York Times in a telephone interview, "At this point, it is a homicide investigation, and we have no reason to believe otherwise."

He'd just met with NFL officials and apparantly had named some big name players as his customers. Pretty convenient that he turns up dead. Not much info yet, but this really smells funny to me.

It might be a rubout or it might be lovers quarel murder/suicide. Or both. Does seem a bit too quaint that he turns up dead but as for the girl friend it could go either way. Wrong place at wrong time as to the hit, or, she was leaving him and he didn't want it to happen and again ..wrong place wrong time!! Another probable conspiracy in the making!
