A truck driver from Texas who had been stalking a female podcast host in Washington state broke into the woman's home early Friday morning and killed her and her husband, police said.

Police believe Ramin Khodakaramrezaei, 38, broke into the couple's home in Redmond through a window around 2 a.m.

According to NBC News, the woman's mother was able to escape the home and dialed 911 from a neighbor's residence.

Redmond police spokesperson Jill Green said that when police arrived, they found the woman's 35-year-old husband lying on the front lawn with a gunshot wound to the chest.

Despite police efforts to revive him, the man still succumbed to his wounds. On the other hand, the Texas stalker and the 33-year-old woman were found dead inside the house.

Green said Khodakaramrezaei died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Washington Podcast Host No-Contact Restraining Order Against Texas Stalker

The murder victims were Zohre Sadeghi and her husband, Mohammed Milad Naseri. The Seattle Times reported that the couple filed a request for a no-contact order against the Texas stalker.

They reportedly obtained a protection order last week. Before they were killed, Redmond police Chief Darrell Lowe said police had been trying to track down Ramin Khodakaramrezaei but had been unsuccessful as he worked as a truck driver.

According to Lowe, Khodakaramrezaei listened to Sadeghi's podcasts, and they met on the app Clubhouse which has audio chat rooms where they can talk.

Lowe said the chat room was particularly for Farsi speakers hunting for jobs in the tech industry. King County District Court showed that a temporary restraining order was signed on March 3, and a hearing was set on March 17.

The records also revealed that Khodakaramrezaei was charged with one count of misdemeanor stalking and two counts of telephone harassment on March 2, the same day a judge also issued a bench warrant for his arrest.

Protection Order Reveals How Scary the Texas Stalker Was

Zohre Sadeghi first contacted Redmond police in December 2022 and then again in January when the situation escalated from conversation to stalking and harassment, according to Darell Lowe.

Lowe said Sadeghi reported more than "100 contacts" from Ramin Khodakaramrezaei in just one day. He also appeared in person and gave gifts via mail.

According to the protective order, FOX 13 reported, Khodakaramrezaei was able to know her address and the addresses of her friends, even though she never told him.

The Texas stalker also threatened to set himself on fire in front of her house if she did not see him.

"He said the only way he would stop contacting me is if he died. That is also in the voice messages he keeps sending me, that he won't let me go, and the only thing that will stop all this is if he killed himself or died," the Washington podcaster wrote in her petition.

Khodakaramrezaei reportedly has a 7-year-old daughter living with his ex-wife. He also had a history of domestic violence with his former wife.

"This is the absolute worst outcome for a stalking case... This is every victim, every detective, every police chief's worst nightmare," Lowe noted.
