Plano, Texas (AP) -- A convicted steroids dealer who recently met with NFL security officials and gave them names of players he said bought steroids from him was found shot to death in his home Thursday, police said.

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. Police said both had been shot to death.

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

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

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.

Hank Hockeimer, Jacobs' attorney, has told The Dallas Morning News that Jacobs then met with NFL security officials in the Dallas area on May 21 and gave them names of players he said bought steroids from him.

I wonder where he lived in Plano. I saw two ambulances on Spring Creek and Ave K this morning on my way to the gym. They were heading toward Hwy 75.

There is no such thing as “roid rage” -— this was witness elimination.

Legacy and Alma. I live at Parker and Alma two lights south.

I will bet both of those ambulances were heading for that house.

It is right near Lanier and Legacy, just on the west side of the ballparks complex. I live about a mile from the place.
