Who is Zohre Sadeghi? Podcaster got no-contact order against stalker who killed her after year of terror
REDMOND, WASHINGTON: A double murder-suicide of a podcaster, her husband, and her stalker has left people shaking with fear. Zohre Sadeghi was killed with her husband, Mohammed Naseri, on March 9 after a Texas trucker named Ramin Khodakaramrezaei broke into their house at around 2 in the morning. It has been said that the criminal also died after committing the crime because of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Now, more information about the horrific case has come out and it has been revealed that Khodakaramrezaei was allegedly stalking Sadeghi for over a year after getting to know her from her podcast. His obsession with the 33-year-old woman went so high that the victim had to file a no-contact order against him. But Khodakaramrezaei had not received the court command yet since cops were unable to locate him because of his profession.

KOMO News citing the protection order reported that Khodakaramrezaei used to call Sadeghi numerous times and left her multiple voicemails. Not just that, he also used to harass her husband by sending him a number of messages a day. The killer was first confronted by Sadeghi on November 6, 2022, but he did not stop and continued to contact her from different numbers. On December 20, 2022, he apparently even went to the victim’s house to give her flowers after finding Naseri had gone out.
‘He would burn himself’
While filing the request for the protection order, which was a misdemeanor, Sadeghi reportedly claimed that Khodakaramrezaei had warned her he “would show up to my door and burn himself and set fire to my house by burning the tree that I love”. In December only, the woman received over 50 calls from the stalker, who also allegedly told her that the “only thing that will make all this stop is if he killed himself or died”.
‘These delusions make me fear for my life’
Khodakaramrezaei had even allegedly sent threatening messages to Naseri, one of which read that “he would kill himself if he mustered up the courage”. He also harassed Sadeghi’s friends as the order plea stated, “Khodakaramrezaei has bursts of anger and is completely delusional. These delusions make me fear for my life and the lives of my loved ones.”
The woman's fear increased after she had major back surgery, making her unable to move quickly. In her petition, Sadeghi wrote about it as she added, “All of this has caused me great distress and pain, and now I am suffering from a deep-seated fear for my safety. It has taken a toll on my recovery. I haven’t been able to open the curtains in my bedroom out of fear of him being outside watching me.”
