Woman Charged After Body Found Behind Georgia Assisted Living Home

A Douglas Attorney says that charges have been filled against a woman who remained in custody in the Coffee County Sheriff Office over the weekend.

Defense Attorney Jill Starling says Diana Marie Malphus Jacobs has been charged with concealing a dead body. Starling says that Jacobs is a nurse at The Rosewood Manor assisted living facility.

Jacobs is scheduled to have a first appearance Monday morning at the Coffee County law enforcement center 

A body was found buried behind an assisted living center in Nicholls, and a woman connected to that facility is in custody.

Sheriff Doyle Wooten says his investigators got a tip, went to Rosewood Manor to question the woman Friday afternoon, and she admitted there was a body buried in a shed.

GBI crime scene experts spent hours excavating the body.

Investigators must wait for an autopsy, but they think the body is that of a man who was a resident at Rosewood Manor. They're not sure the circumstances of his death or who may have been involved in burying him. So far, no charges have been filed.

Unusual situation. Burying a victim behind a facility isn't too bright.

You're right, Thelma, it's very odd.

What a horrific story.

There must have been signs on the body of what really happened to this man.

Otherwise, they would have just claimed natural causes and turned the body over to the funeral home.
