Mother of Three
Confesses Slaying
Elderly Couple
COLUMBUS, Ohio, OH — A
petite, 32-year-old wife of ar. Ait;
Force major told sheriff’s depu
ties today she stabbed her elderly
landlord and his wife to death
when her check forgery scheme
backfired.
Deputies' said Mrs. Blanche
Jacobs, mother of three, spent
three days trying to conceal the
deaths of her “close” friends,
then told her husband, who took
her to police. Mrs. Jacobs walked
into police headquarters Wednes
day night and announced “I want
to report a dopble murder,’ police
said.
She was accompanied by her
husband, Maj. Eugene W. Jacobs,
35, who said he had doubted the
bizarre story she blurted out to
him some time earlier.
Authorities checked and found
the bodies of Andrew J. Robin
son, 74, and his wife, Maude, 73,
side by side in the bathroom of
their suburban Groveport home.
Their bodies showed multiple
stab wounds.
The sheriff’s office said Mrs.
Jacobs admitted she killed I he
couple last Monday when they
learned she had forged a check
against Mrs. Robinson’s bank ac
count. That check and two others'
forged by Mrs. Jacobs totaled
$1,149.
Mrs. Jacobs lived next door to
the Robinsons. Jacobs, who is
stationed at nearby Lockbourne
AFB, described the Robinsons as
“very close” friends.
Mrs. Jacobs sobbed intermit
tently as she told how she clean
ed up the blood-spattered Robin
son home the'day after the kill
ings and dragged the bodies into
the bathroom. She tried to give
neighbors the impression that Ihe
Robinsons had left town. When
she realized she couldn’t continue
to conceal what had happened,
she told her husband.
