Diana Jacobs is headed back to prison. Jacobs, who in 2016 was sentenced to 10 years in prison and 10 years on probation in connection with the 2014 death of Alexander Hunter, 67, at Rosewood Manor assisted living facility in Nicholls, had been released in 2023 and was serving the remainder of her sentence on probation. Since her release, she was cited for DUI and, earlier this year, she was arrested on first degree forgery charges after allegedly paying for merchandise at a local Dollar General with counterfeit money.

 Jacobs was arrested on March 28 of this year on charges of forgery in the first degree (a felony), a probation violation, and a bench warrant for the DUI. These alleged crimes are violations of her terms of probation and on Wednesday morning, she was in court for a probation revocation hearing. Her probation was revoked as a result of these new charges and she will serve the rest of her sentence in prison.

Jacobs pleaded guilty to concealing a death and exploitation of an elderly/disabled adult after Hunter was found buried in a shed on the Rosewood Manor property. She was sentenced to 10 years in prison on the charge of concealing a death, the statutory maximum. On the exploitation charge, she was sentenced to 20 years, 10 of which she would serve in prison and the remainder of which she would serve on probation. The two 10-year prison sentences would serve concurrently with each other.

Jacobs’s husband, James Jacobs, pleaded guilty to murder and concealing a death in October of 2016. That same month, he was sentenced to life in prison for the murder charge and 10 years in prison for the concealing a death charge. Those sentences run concurrently.

James Jacobs killed Hunter by smothering him with a pillow. Diana Jacobs buried Hunter in the shed on the Rosewood Manor property. He had been deceased about six months before he was found. James Jacobs remains in prison.
