Craig Titus and Kelly Ryan Were Las Vegas Body Builders

Craig Titus and Kelly Ryan Were Las Vegas Body Builders, that are hot on the Internet again. If you remember Baby Boomers, They were in up to their necks in a murder with their personal assistant, Melissa James, 28, who wound up dead in the back of a Jaguar that was on fire in the desert.

Well, before the couple could leave the country for Greece, they were arrested in New Jersey. The rest is history. But was it steroids that were the remaining factor…

A week before Craig Titus and his wife, Kelly Ryan, became fugitives, the professional bodybuilders met with Las Vegas homicide detectives about the dead woman who was found in Kelly Ryan’s burned 2003 Jaguar.

Titus, 40, admitted to secretly having an affair with Melissa James, whose body was found in the trunk of the car. Titus and Ryan, 33, stated James was their live in personal assistant. They said that they had recently evicted her for embezzling from them, but that they had not filed a police complaint.

I don’t think the affair with Melissa James was so secret. At GetBog.com there is talk about sex tapes with all three and another mystery woman.

Both told investigators that James had stolen Ryan’s car, though they did not report the theft to police.

Titus and Ryan made those comments Dec. 14, hours after James’ body was discovered in the torched Jaguar off state Route 160, according to an arrest warrant filed in Las Vegas Justice Court. The warrant was issued for Anthony Gross, 23, an alleged accomplice in the slaying. Gross is in custody.

But Titus and Ryan were set free after their interrogation because of a lack of evidence, and authorities presume the two have since fled, possibly to Greece.
Since then, they were picked up in NJ.

Titus and Ryan were then charged with murder and third degree arson.

In the end, Craig and Kelly took plea bargains. Here are those results:

Craig Titus, 43, pleaded guilty to second degree murder, first degree kidnapping and arson…he faces 17 to 55 years in prison
Kelly Ryan, 35, pleaded guilty to arson and battery with a deadly weapon with significant bodily harm…she faces 2 to 15 years in prison for each of her counts
