CBS News on Sahel Kazemi, Steve McNair and Leah Ignagi

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

In a level of interest that should be applied to the California DMV, CBS News reporter Armen Keteyian looked at the investigative report by the Nashville Police (and which you can download here) and found what has been called an “inconsistency” in it. CBS is also trotting out new photos of the late Sahel Kazemi.

(WARNING: The police report is graphic.)

First to recap, Nashville Police concluded that former NFL Quarterback Steve McNair’s girlfriend Sahel Kazemi shot and killed McNair on July 4th in her apartment in Nashville and that he had another girlfriend, Leah Ignagni.

Second, in the new investigation, the findings presented in the document explain that the police are still gathering evidence and are interested in any information that could change the report.

Armen Keteyian says that the report reveals a problem with the day when Nashville Police said Kazemi bought the gun that was claimed to have been used to kill McNair. At first they said it was bought on July 2nd during a two hour work absence, but according to The Sporting News blog, CBS found her work record, which showed that that leave of absence actually occured on July 1st.

Here are pictures of Leah Ignagni of Nashville who says she was dating Steve McNair, a second girlfriend, while McNair was dating Sahel Kazemi. Leah Ignagni’s myspace and facebook profile picture use to be face pictures, now they are no longer. USA Today reports she had a LinkedIn profile that lists her as the senior editor of a start-up magazine called 61Five. That LikedIn profile is now removed. And her Twitter account is private.

LALATE can report that just days before McNair’s death (and Sahel Kazemi’s DUI), Ignagni was co-promoting a Nashville nightlife event. Party Like A Rock Star at Sky Lounge featured Leah Ignagni among the promoters for the event. Ignagni’s 61Five reveals it’s a Nashville Nightlife and Entertainment website (”coming soon”).
