Man Believed to Have Died of Heart Attack While Dumping Girlfriend's Body, DA Says

  • On June 10, authorities discovered the bodies of Daniel Robbins, 44, and Jessica Folds, 47, in a wooded area near County Road 86 in Lanett, Alabama, about 80 miles northeast of Montgomery. Robbins died of a heart attack while attempting to dispose of Folds' body.
  • Autopsy results confirmed Folds died from strangulation, while investigators believe the killing stemmed from a domestic incident. Robbins' ex-wife said he had a pre-existing heart condition, consistent with forensic findings regarding his sudden death.
  • Chambers County sheriff's deputies responded after a passer-by reported an abandoned pickup truck running in the middle of County Road 86. Officers found drag marks leading into the woods, where the two bodies were located just feet apart.

  • A memorial service took place on June 28 at her mother's residence to celebrate Folds, whom loved ones described in her obituary with a "heart of gold" whose smile "brightened the world.
