Police: McNair Mistress Wanted to 'End It All'

Police: Steve McNair Mistress Wanted to 'End It All'In a presser today, police in Nashville, TN revealed the following about the death of Steve McNair -- an investigation they're saying "clearly points to a murder-suicide."

- Sahel Kazemi told friends her life was "all messed up" and she was "going to end it all" before the incident.

- Kazemi was extremely stressed -- she had two car payments, her roommate was moving out and she recently started thinking McNair was seeing someone else (he was actually married).

- The shell casings match the weapon purchased by Sahel and there was trace evidence on her left hand.

- The lack of struggle, Steve's position on the couch and the trajectory of the bullet leads police to believe McNair was "likely asleep" on the couch when he was shot.

46. I feel bad for the mans children period...but YOU PLAY YOU PAY!

47. Let me get this straight:

They dated for 6 months. I'm assuming McNair found out a few things about her during this time, like:
-Her mother was killed in Iran and dad was either dead or not in the picture.
-She fled Iran due to religious persecution.
-She lived in Turkey for a couple of years before settling in the states.
-She wound up settling in the states at 12, which is probably the worst possible age to be relocated culturally for a girl. A girl at that age needs stability. She didn't have the cultural identity that comes with remaining at home until she was at least 16-17, and instead was flooded with pop culture BS during Jr. High and High school. From her FB pics, she seemed to latch on to the Paris Hilton/Lohan look--the lowest common denominator--during her teens in a new place and culture. Hardly shocking.
-She dropped out of HS to move to Nashville with her Eminem wannabe boyfriend.
-She worked at Dave and Busters serving food and drinks and liked to party. No discussion of going back to school.

Sounds like a bad after school special on vulnerable women. So Mr. McNair does the following:
-ignored all the warning signs.
-co-signed on an Escalade for her but didn't pick up her payments.
-put down a deposit on her nice place (judging from the craigslist furniture photos) and left her with the rent.
-didn't have her at least get rid of the Kia she was also making payments on.
-got caught messing around with a third woman by her.
-possibly led her to believe he was getting a divorce and wanted to be with her. Meeting her family? Really? Is that the kind of thing a guy does to lead on a woman he sees no LT potential with while already married?

Well played Mr. McNair. Well played. In a period of 6 months, Stevie managed to:

-Cheat on his wife
-Spend time with a mistress that could have been spent with his 4 sons.
-Let his mistress get carried away emotionally
-Let his mistress get overstrung financially
-Have the balls to meet her family during all of this
-Find someone else on the side
-Maintain your bachelor pad 10 miles down the road from his wife

What a jackass. No one deserves to die for being an incredible jackass, but he surely did himself no favors. The mistress had enough baggage to stock a Dolce & Gabbana, and he did nothing but add to her collection. She might have actually been a really nice (but misguided) person in a really desperate situation. That's how everything reads to me. If he absolutely "had" to cheat, certainly there were ways to cheat that would have produced a better outcome than this. The NFL should consider adding questions for jackassery to the Wonderlic test for the next draft class. It might come in handy.

48. I am surprised it took them this long to call it. Doesn't take but less then a hour to run gun shot residue and ballistic test

Where exactly is it " written above" that Mcnair was first shot in the head. Then twice in the chest, then in the head again.

Dentists have the highest rate of suicide among all doctors. Hope YOU end up to be a statistic.

50. And McNair's widow is gorgeous! Check out their wedding pic on the Daily New Online. But-NOTE-They dont look happy in the pic at all.

51. If it quacks like a duck and looks like a duck.....it's a duck. McNair looks like a thug and acts like a thug....he's a thug and a wife cheat who uses young women for his se xual pleasure. I met a 20 something year old years ago. She was going to commit suicide after a one night stand with a guy because her life was so messed up. She decided this after finding her boyfriend's journal stating that he was just using her (other guys did the same). She met me, but instead of a one night stand, I told her she needed Jesus where she became a Christian out of the new age movement & other cults & false philosophies/worldviews which even included a few exorcisms. In a future judgment according to the Bible, she will judge her ex-boyfriends and even angels. Sad that these two died. I hope they became Christians in their last seconds of life on earth.

52. She had no right to take his life....but this should serve as a lesson to all men black, white .purple or green......STOP playing with womens feelings and messin with there heads. You can only have one women at a time, and hell you can't sleep with them all. You can look but God do you always just have to touch.

53. #45:

What a curious statement. This young woman executed another human being. A human being with a wife and FOUR CHILDREN that she was fully well aware of, (as proven by the fact that he AND HIS FAMILY frequented the restaurant where she worked, and where met him). "Fame and Power" had nothing to do with it. Mental instability, emotional immaturity, weakness, and self loathing did. Had it not been McNair, it would have been someone else, eventually, as evidenced by her obviously casual disregard for her own life.

What makes you think she "agreed to" this affair, like some poor love-struck starry eyed child, as opposed to being the aggressor, actively pursuing an affair with an older, MARRIED man who had the "fame and power", (as well as the financial wherewithal), to lift her out of her obviously unbearable life as a waitress at Dave and Busters, in exchange for a little "somethin'-somethin'" on the side?

54. If someone else found them and did not call 911 how can you say it was murder suicide? There were several pictures taken and the two of them were always the ones in the pics so who took the pics? To me this could very well be a set up! Who's to say that this is not a set up gone bad!!! She just so happened purchased a gun and the guy that was his roommate walked in and walked but not really noticed two not one but two dead bodies and just leave? Come on now!! Murder suicide my aster!! Nashville police need to do their jobs! It is very easy to just conclude the obvious but did they really investigate? Did they test this Wayne Neely's hands for gunshot residue or anyone else that had access to the apartment? Maybe she was his girlfriend and they were going to spend Steve's money but got greedy!!! Can you really use the tax monies you guys get paid and investigate!!!!!!

55. Hey Steve, I sure hope that Iranian puzzy was well worth the cost. You had a beautiful black wife, a mansion, kids, etc, and you couldn't keep your schlong in your banana hammock. You rented a condo with your enabling brothas (the guys who discovered your body) so you could screw around without getting caught. Do you really think you were going to get away with going on vacations and buying Cadillac Escalades for bimbos without your wife eventually finding out? Or did she really already know and you didn't give a damn, which is why you had other children out of wedlock? What kind of example is that to set for your sons? And now it sounds like you had other babes on the side. Did you lead this woman on by promises of marriage and showering her with gifts? Why would you put the Escalade in both your names unless it was some type of commitment to her?

And dude, she was just a waitress at a Dave and Buster's. Was it all worth it Steve?

56. Carrie, most people who murder/suicide like her kill because they are "attacking back" after being "hurt". And she should definitely not have "just killed herself"... ?! With that logic, close to half the the world's population would be gone in an instant.

57. Hey #14 & # 15 Developing RenASSance- get a life you loser!! You obviously are a real deep thinker with a high IQ!!!

58. Hey Mrs. McNair---you really had no clue your ex QB husband was cheating on you? Where did you think he was when he was on vacations with the Iranian bimbo? Where did you think he was when he was sleeping overnight with her in his secret love condo pad? Are you really that naive? Or as long as the money was rolling in, you condoned it? And how bout Steve's brothas, his enabling buddies? Do you feel good about condoning your man's cheating ways so he could ignore and cheat on his family commitments and obligations? What kind of lesson does all this teach young black men? Or should we ignore it all because Steve was a "nice guy" and a good football player? Hey Eddie George, if you were a real friend, where were you when it came time to man up? Why didn't you get in your friend's face and tell him to stop it and go home to get laid? Where were you Eddie? Or are you just another enabler?

59. This story is bogus. Her sister is quoted as saying that Mc Nair told her he was getting a divorce.
