I just saw this thread posted over on the BodySpace forum, and now I've seen it on MD.com, FB.com and siouxcountry's board as well. It is apparently NOT a rumor, but the real thing. RIP Amanda Jo, and thank you for all that you did for the sport of Figure. You will be very greatly missed.


*************************************************

I just talked to a very reliable source in Texas that knew Amanda very well and is getting information direct from those involved in the case.

Nobody had heard from her for a few days so a friend went looking for her and could not find her anywhere. She went by Amanda's ex-boyfriends place, Dave Jacobs, and there were mail and newspapers in the yard so she called the police, they entered the home and found Dave Jacobs and Amanda Savell dead in the home of an apparent murder/suicide.

The two had a very rocky relationship and Amanda was very afraid of Jacobs who had repeatedly threatened her life if she were to become involved in another relationship with anyone. She had tried many times to break away from him and start her life over. She wanted to get back into competing again and start a fresh life but reportedly Jacobs continually threatened her life and the life of any man she may get involved with. She had expressed that she felt trapped and that if she left Dallas he would just hunt her down.

While details of her being shot in the face and so on have been reported here and there on the net, at this time the Police are still on scene completing their investigation and there are no details available that are confirm able at this point.

Jacobs was a convicted drug dealer.

Amanda Jo Earnhart-Savell was one of the top figure competitors in IFBB, with several wins and top ten placings at the Olympia and top three honors at the Arnold Classic. I have redone the Yahoo group I created for her nearly a year ago (with her blessing) and turned it into a tribute group to celebrate the life of not only an amazing competitor, but a friend and inspiration to many competitors around the world. We will never forget you, Amanda. Thank you for being...you.


May your soul rest in peace, Amanda...

Please join the group and help pay tribute to one of figure's greatest stars.

Thank you.

AUTOPSY RESULTS!!!!


Jacobs had 5 times allowed amount of steroids in system
Associated Press

DALLAS -- The autopsy report on convicted steroids dealer David Jacobs indicated he had more than five times the amount of testosterone in his system than allowed by standard sports testing.

The Collin County medical examiner's office on Tuesday released the autopsy report on the 35-year-old who was found dead in his Plano home along with his former girlfriend, Amanda Earhart-Savell, on June 5. She was a professional figure competitor who was killed by Jacobs, authorities said.

The autopsies showed he died from a contact gunshot wound to the left temple and right abdomen. Earhart-Savell, 30, was shot seven times: once in the back of the head, once in the right upper back and five times in the chest. Police found a.40-caliber semiautomatic Glock 22 near Jacobs' body.

The autopsy report said Earhart-Savell had no steroids in her system but did test positive for amphetamine, which her family said she used to prepare for an upcoming bodybuilding competition, The Dallas Morning News reported in its online edition Tuesday.

"It's clear that testosterone increases aggressive behavior. That's why teens tend to exhibit risk-taking. When you make the level super-physiologic, there's a wide range, but in general there's an increase in aggressiveness," Richard J. Auchus, associate professor of internal medicine and endocrinology at U.T. Southwestern in Dallas who studies steroids, told the newspaper.

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 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.

Plano police spokesman Rick McDonald said results are still pending for gunshot residue to determine if Earhart-Savell fired a weapon and the results could take months.
