Diana Jacobs, who had been held in the Coffee County Jail since August 2014 on various charges (including malice murder) related to the death of Alexander Hunter, 67, whose body was found buried in a shed behind Rosewood Manor assisted living facility in Nicholls, was released on bond Wednesday afternoon. A local bondsman signed her bond.
A spokesman from the Coffee County Sheriff’s Office stated that the CCSO had little information regarding the bond, only stating that she had been given a bond and was released as a result.
Jacobs’s husband, James Jacobs, who was also charged with malice murder (among other charges) in the case, remains in the Coffee County Jail.
The husband and wife duo were officially charged with the murder of Hunter last July, following an extensive investigation that began the year prior when authorities located the victim’s body in a clandestine grave at the Rosewood Manor assisted living facility in Nicholls where Mrs. Jacobs was formerly employed. They were both arrested and jailed near the time of the incident on other charges.
