Where Is Hossein Nayeri Now, Who Did He Kidnap And Torture? Know About His Current Status- Is He Sti

Yes, Hossein Nayeri is still in prison. He was sentenced to life in jail without the chance of parole in October 2020.

Initially, his buddy, Kyle Handley, was detained on the case because Michael’s neighbors offered police a license plate number she thought was suspicious that night.

Following the discovery of more evidence, authorities were able to get a warrant for Handley’s arrest less than a week after the kidnapping.

According to Newport Beach Detectives Sgt. Ryan Peters, Nayeri was linked to the kidnapping after police discovered a glove. It was found in Kyle’s truck and it contained his DNA inside.

However, till then he had already fled to his native home Iran.

However, with the request of the authorities, his wife, Shegerian, quickly re-established communication with Nayeri. She had their phone calls recorded.

Since Iran does not have an extradition treaty with the US, officials wanted to lure Nayeri to a nation where he might be captured and subsequently extradited.

Hence, Shegerian persuaded Nayeri to meet her for a romantic rendezvous in Barcelona, Spain. Peters claims she mailed him a forged passport and a forged green card.

However, Nayeri’s itinerary included a stop in Prague, Czech Republic, a country that also has an extradition pact with the United States. Nayeri was detained as soon as he got off the plane in Prague in November 2013.

He spent over a year there, in what he termed a “real dungeon,” waiting to be deported to the United States.

When Nayeri was extradited to the United States in 2014 to face charges in the 2012 kidnapping and torture case, he was imprisoned in the Orange County Central Men’s Jail in California.

However, he and two other convicts were able to escape in January 2016. After their escape, Nayeri and the other two guys reportedly abducted a cab driver and drove north in his car.

Finally, Eight days later, police discovered and arrested Nayeri and one of the other detainees in San Francisco.

Nayeri went to trial in 2020 on counts of kidnapping, torture, and aggravated mayhem in connection with the events of 2012. Nayeri testified in his own defense.

Nayeri stated that, while he had spent months surveilling Michael before the kidnapping, it was the extent of his participation. He, however, has consistently denied any involvement in the kidnapping or the physical violence perpetrated on Michael.

The jury finally convicted Nayeri guilty of kidnapping and torture in August 2019. But could not agree on whether he had committed aggravated mayhem, the allegation linked to the victim’s maiming.

At last, he was condemned to two consecutive life sentences without the possibility of release for the heinous kidnapping and torture.
