Steve McNair Murder: Leah Ignagni Pictures and Sahel Kazemi Texts

Jennifer Waite
More stories of extramarital sex affairs have surfaced in the wake of ex-NFL quarterback, Steve McNair's murder. Another woman, Leah Ignagni, is now also alleged to have been dating the ill-fated NFL's Steve McNair, as reported here by online gossip news source, LaLate.com.

LaLate has released new pictures of Leah Ignagni and McNair's mistress and alleged killer, Sahel Kazemi, along with text messages sent between McNair and Kazemi the day before the homicide-suicide.

Steve McNair was found shot dead several months ago, next to the also-deceased body of his mistress, Sahel Kazemi, in a condo the two reportedly shared. Pictures of Leah Ignagni are available online; you can see pictures from Leah Ignagni's Facebook here on LaLate.com.

According to online celebrity and gossip source, LaLate and other major media sources, such as televised reports on CNN, ex-quarterback Steve McNair appears to have been the victim of the homicidal act of a deranged, also suicidal lover: Sahel Kazemi. Apparently, McNair was seeing girlfriend Leah Ignagni concurrently with Sahel Kazemi, though this has not been confirmed beyond gossip news sources.

Steve McNair's wife, Mechelle, did not appear to have known about the affair(s) before she found out about McNair's death. Steve McNair was a father of four, with two of his children stemming from his relationship with Mechelle, and the previous two the result of previous relations in the 1990's.

According to Steve McNair's page on Wikipedia, McNair was killed, shot to death, as he lay in his bed on July 4, 2009, allegedly by Sahel Kazemi, who then killed herself.

Newly-released text messages between McNair and Kazemi show the couple having a fairly routine conversation, with no indication of acute agitation showing on Kazemi's part, though a bit of desperation could be detected. Read the Steve McNair and Sahel Kazemi text messages from July 3 on LaLate.com.

According to LaLate, Leah Ignagni is a senior editor at a small magazine, and had been dating Steve McNair for a short while before his death. It is reported that Sahel Kazemi may have even stalked Ignagni shortly before the murder-suicide, and there is speculation that jealousy could have been a factor in McNair's murder.
