Comments (31)


This week, Nashville, Tenn., police released an updated case summary on the murder-suicide of former NFL quarterback Steve McNair and his mistress, Sahel Kazemi. Police identified Leah Ignagni as McNair's possible second girlfriend. Ignagni told police that she believed Kazemi had been following her in the weeks before McNair's death. According to Kazemi's roommate, Emily Andrews, Kazemi knew about Ignagni.

According to the report:

Andrews said that Kazemi told her that [Kazemi] found a tampon in the bathroom wastebasket in the Lea Avenue condo, and on another occasion, saw a female leaving the condo.

Police are not saying that the relationship played a role in the incident.

The report also details the final days of McNair and Kazemi through text messages. Starting on July 3, Kazemi was texting McNair about how stressed she was and how she needed $2,000 to pay some bills. McNair confirmed to Kazemi that he transferred the money to her account.

Later that night, McNair texted Kazemi that after his kids went to sleep, he would head over to the condo they shared. At 12:52 a.m., McNair's last text message was "No, open the front door," and Kazemi responded at 1:14 a.m., "It's open."

McNair's and Kazemi's bodies were discovered on July 4 around 1:30 p.m. Read the entire report here.
