"Police and family are offering a $10,000 reward in the five-year-old homicide case of a former Nash County commissioner found stabbed to death in his Rocky Mount home. Hoy Jefferson Cobb Jr., known as Jeff to family and friends, was found dead on Nov. 11, 2014, in his residence on Jeffreys Court.

Folks who knew Jeff Cobb well knew him to be a ladies’ man, even into his elder years. His appreciation of the fairer sex may have led to his demise. “There was an open package of condoms on the bedside table. A woman’s hair tie was found on the floor of the bedroom,” according to a medical examiner’s investigation report.
Cobb had an acute amount of alcohol in his system and his stomach was full of a red-tinged fluid with a sweet odor, according to the autopsy’s toxicology report.
One investigative theory is that Cobb picked up a woman at a local bar and grill who was in a relationship, and her jealous husband or boyfriend is the murderer. Alternatively, a woman Cobb brought home could have killed him."
