In the months before convicted steroids trafficker David Jacobs killed himself and his girlfriend, the embittered dealer alleged that NFL players used his drugs. But he publicly named only one: Matt Lehr.
Mr. Jacobs, who repeatedly said he wouldn't go public with former customers' names because he did not want to disrupt their lives, made an exception with Mr. Lehr, a former Dallas Cowboys lineman now with the New Orleans Saints.
He said he felt Mr. Lehr and his attorney weren't honest about the NFL player's role in Mr. Jacobs' distribution network.
Jacobs was also jealous of the man he described as his former best friend because he thought Mr. Lehr was interested in his girlfriend.
It was true.
"She was in love with me, and I loved her," Mr. Lehr, 29, said in a recent interview, acknowledging for the first time his relationship with Amanda Earhart-Savell, a 30-year-old professional figure competitor and fitness magazine cover girl who also had dated Mr. Jacobs on and off since last year.
Mr. Jacobs, 35, killed Ms. Earhart-Savell in a murder-suicide last month, shattering her body with seven bullet wounds from a .40-caliber semiautomatic Glock 22 that Mr. Jacobs also turned on himself.
Ms. Earhart-Savell's family and friends say a likely scenario is that Mr. Jacobs found evidence of a relationship between her and Mr. Lehr. Mr. Jacobs had told The Dallas Morning News that he had suspected the two were interested in each other for months.
