According to Nashville, Tenn., police, Leah Ignagni was dating the late NFL star Steve McNair at the time of his July 4 murder at the hands of lover Sahel Kazemi.
The other other woman recalled seeing a woman in a black Cadillac Escalade parked outside his condo 2-3 weeks before his murder. It is not clear who owns it.
However, Leah Ignagni also said the woman followed her and that she later saw the Escalade circling her block or parked outside her apartment 1-2 weeks later.
A 2007 black Escalade was co-registered to Sahel Kazemi and Steve McNair.
This backs up earlier case details that stated Kazemi was suspicious of McNair being involved with someone else. McNair was also married and had children.

Leah Ignagni told police that McNair visited her around 4 a.m. on July 2, just a couple of hours after Kazemi's DUI arrest, and then the former Tennessee Titans star spent the night at Ignagni's apartment before leaving early July 3.
If this is to be believed, Steve McNair went to Leah Ignagni's house after he got Sahel Kazemi out of jail, which may have been the catalyst for her murdering McNair then turning the gun on herself in the grisly murder-suicide.
Another theory was that McNair was about to break things off with Kazemi, who wanted to marry McNair, who was unwilling to end his marriage to wife Mechelle.
As for Leah Ignagni, she's still living in Nashville, just a footnote in a cautionary tale and one of the most tragic stories in a year full of them.

Men, especially the married, rich ones should really stop thinking with the HEAD in their underwear and use the Head with the REAL brain in it. This is just another case of I can have whatever I want because of who I am and the amount of money I have. Now look at him....

If you ask me all these women were STUPID, and his wife most of all for staying with such an SOB. These women were just another notch and one of many on his bed post, I hope these women got tested for All STD's. McNair did not care as long as they were willing and STUPID.

I am not fully convinced that Sahel killed Steve an herself. I believe her X-lover had something to do with it. He commented on an article on line, about the two of them talked daily about her relationship with Steve. She told him that she was breaking up with Steve and going back to him, according to his story. He also knew she had purchase a hand gun.Just maybe He encourage her to buy it so it would be in her name. He was at the scene of the crime before the police got their,How was that so possible. I hope the investigating team check all calls from the two,leading up to that fatal day. He knew she wanted to be with Steve and not him. (possibly a good set up).

Firt & formost all the other women had was a good time and a wet pu.... One is dead and the othe couldn't even sit on the front row of the pew at the funeral, she was considered just a friend. Secondly, if he was truly all that to her she should have kept her mouth shut and just remember all the good thing he did with her or for her. But just another dumb white female. Like Monika Lewinsky she just got to tell somebody she was played a fool by a man. There are some things u just take to your grave. Because in the end Michelle was the only one recognized at the main one (wifey).
