PLANO, Texas -- A convicted steroids dealer who recently met with NFL security officials and gave them names of players he said bought steroids from him has been found dead in his home.
Just after midnight on Thursday, 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.

He says Plano detectives aren't releasing information about whether the deaths were a double homicide or a murder-*******, whether a weapon was found near the bodies, or any other details.

Jacobs was sentenced to three years probation and fined $25,000 on May 1 after pleading guilty last year in federal court in Dallas to conspiring to possess with intent to distribute anabolic steroids.

Men in ski masks and jackets marked "police" were seen entering the home late Thursday morning, according to the Dallas Morning News.

The newspaper reported it had spoken with Jacobs frequently and exchanged e-mails with him as recently as last weekend. Jacobs had sought to rebuild his nutritional supplement business, but he was experiencing financial problems and having trouble getting his old client base to work with him, according to the report.

On May 21, Jacobs met with NFL security officials in the Dallas area and gave them names of players he said bought steroids from him, according to Hank Hockeimer, his lawyer.

Hockeimer told the newspaper on Thursday he had not yet been briefed about the situation at Jacobs' house.

The league requested the meeting after Jacobs was sentenced to three years of probation on May 1 for a single count of conspiracy to distribute anabolic steroids. He had cooperated with federal authorities since his arrest last year.

By his own account, Jacobs was a prolific salesman, moving 1,000 bottles of anabolic steroids a month and an equal number of growth hormone kits that he obtained illicitly from China.

Hockeimer had said that league officials seemed "genuinely interested" in what Jacobs had to say, as well as in canceled checks and e-mails that he provided.

Jacobs has publicly acknowledged that he dealt primarily with two NFL players, and earlier identified one of them as offensive lineman Matt Lehr. Last month, Jacobs told the Dallas Morning News that Lehr purchased tens of thousands of dollars of steroids and growth hormone from the spring of 2006 to the spring of 2007. He also told the paper that Lehr agreed to have boxes of raw steroid powder from China shipped directly to his Georgia home.

Lehr served a four-game suspension while a member of the Atlanta Falcons in October 2006 after he tested positive for a banned substance. He spent last season with Tampa Bay and was acquired by the Saints in the offseason.

Lehr's attorney, Paul Coggins, has said the player hasn't used banned substances since he was suspended and has since passed NFL drug tests. The attorney has also said Jacobs' allegations are retaliation because Lehr wouldn't pay Jacobs' legal fees.

After his sentencing, Jacobs told The New York Times that he hoped to tell league officials about "loopholes in their program." He also said he'd advised about 10 players to use finasteride, a drug to treat balding, because it masks steroid use.

Ended up being a *******, too bad he had to be a dick and take someone else with him.

DALLAS -- Authorities said Friday that a convicted steroids dealer who claimed to have sold drugs to pro football players killed himself, and the mother of a woman found dead in his home said she believes he killed her, too.

The Dallas County medical examiner ruled 35-year-old David Jacobs' shooting death a *******, but police in the Dallas suburb of Plano aren't saying whether he shot his on-again, off-again girlfriend.

Both bodies were found in the master bedroom of Jacobs' Plano home. He was shot in the abdomen and head, and 30-year-old Amanda Earhart-Savell was shot several times. A .40-caliber Glock was found next to Jacobs, police said.

Earhart-Savell's mother said her daughter feared Jacobs.

"It was a murder-*******, that's what," said Kathy Earhart, who also lives in Plano. "He was a dangerous man and she feared him. And he did what she thought he would do if he got to the point he was, which was distraught. He had no means of income, no nothing, so ..."

Police said until they receive the medical examiner's final report they can't explain how Jacobs killed himself.

"I don't know if he shot himself in the abdomen first and it was superficial. We just know that those were the two places he was shot," said Plano police spokesman Andrae Smith.

Jacobs was sentenced to three years probation and fined $25,000 on May 1 after pleading guilty last year in federal court in Dallas to conspiring to possess with intent to distribute anabolic steroids. He met twice with NFL security officials and gave them names of players he said bought steroids from him.

Jacobs' father, David Arthur Jacobs, has told The Dallas Morning News that he feared someone would hurt his son because of his steroid dealings. He didn't think his son was suicidal, and he stood by that when contacted by The Associated Press on Friday.

"I don't believe it, but it's neither here nor there. That's just my personal opinion," the elder Jacobs said from his home in suburban Atlanta. "That's all I've got to say at this point."

Kathy Earhart said her daughter told her recently that Jacobs held a gun to his head and threatened to pull the trigger.

"She (Earhart-Savell) actually felt, I think, that she could calm him down and help him because he had threatened ******* before," Earhart said, adding that she last saw her daughter Monday night at her Plano home. "She was trying to help -- not to say that she didn't care for him -- but toward the end, it was fear more than care."

The two regularly worked out in health clubs together, Kathy Earhart said. Jacobs was an amateur bodybuilder and Earhart-Savell was a "figure competitor" whose striking body graced the pages of fitness magazines, she said.

Earhart said she was hurt by some media reports that implied that her daughter was a bodybuilder. Earhart said that symmetry and beauty are important in figure competitions so "she wouldn't need to take steroids," because the drugs would have made her too big and bulky.

David Jacobs said he sold tens of thousands of dollars worth of performance-enhancing drugs to former Dallas Cowboys offensive lineman Matt Lehr in 2006 and 2007. Lehr has also played for Tampa Bay and Atlanta. Lehr's attorney has denied his client used banned substances after a four-game suspension in 2006.

The NFL said Thursday it is evaluating information provided by Jacobs.

Jacobs' attorney, Hank Hockeimer, didn't return a phone call and e-mail seeking comment Friday.
