TITUS: CHARGED WITH MURDER

TITUS AND RYAN: THE LATEST

For days the bodybuilding rumor mill has buzzed with word of Craig Titus and wife Kelly Ryan being involved –- or not involved -- in a Las Vegas homicide.

FLEX just received the following press release from the Las Vegas Police Department. We’ll continue to update as developments occur.

LAS VEGAS METROPOLITAN POLICE DEPARTMENT
MEDIA RELEASE
December 21, 2005
EVENT #: 051214-0619

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Lt. Tom Monahan
Homicide Section
Phone: 229-3521

On December 14, 2005 at approximately 4:40 a.m., a trucker was traveling on State Route 160 ( Blue Diamond Rd) from Pahrump toward Las Vegas, when he spotted a fire in the desert about a half-mile from the road. When firefighters extinguished the blaze, they observed what appeared to be human remains in the trunk of the car.

The remains were confirmed to be that of a human, and under the circumstances, it is being investigated as a homicide.

***UPDATE***

Investigation into above incident has resulted in arrest warrants being issued for three suspects.

1. Titus, Craig Michael, DOB: 01/14/1965, 5ft 8 inches, 225 lbs., brown hair with hazel eyes. Hair is very short.

2. Ryan, Kelly Ann, DOB: 07/10/1972, 5ft 3 inches, 120 lbs., brown hair with green eyes.

Titus has a no-bail arrest warrant charging him with murder and third degree arson.

Ryan has a no-bail arrest warrant charging her with accessory to murder and third degree arson.

A third suspect has been identified as 23 year old Anthony Gross. Gross is in custody and has been booked into the Clark County Detention Center on charges of accessory to murder and third degree arson.

Craig Titus and Kelly Ryan are husband and wife and were living in the southwest area of Las Vegas. Both are successful body builders and hold numerous titles in the body building and fitness industry.

At this time it is unclear where the two suspects may have fled.

Dette var vanvittig lesning! Dette var fryktelig synd å ikke minst triste nyheter.  :woot:

Helt utrolig! Og nå i juletider da...

Om det skulle skje, var det vel neppe noe sjokk at det var akkurat den karen det gjaldt - har jo alltid vært mye tumulter rundt Titus, så det kan jo tyde på at han har et bittelite problem mht å oppføre seg noenlunde sivilisert sånn i utgangspunktet (nå er det seff ikke gitt at det er de som er de skyldige da).....
Uansett mest trist for den personen som satt og brant i den bilen.......

Reint personlig synes jeg det var tristere den gangen jeg hørte at en av mine tidligere "helter" Bertil Fox hadde skutt og drept eksen og mora hennes.......

Mye skrudde personligheter i dette miljøet - som i en del andre miljøer........ At de lader på med abnorme mengder androgener og diverse stimulanter samt ofte må involvere seg i ulovligheter for å bedrive "jobben" sin gjør dem lissom ikke så mye mer stabile vil jeg tro.....

Håper ingen gjør dette til en doping debatt igjen.. fort gjort.

jeg mente dette enkelt og greitt er tragisk for absolutt alle parter i denne hendelsen.

Jeg har lest en del om den saken, og det er grunnlag for stor tvil om hvorvidt Fox egentlig er skyldig (selv bedyrer han fremdeles sin uskyld). Bevisførselen i saken var svært tvilsom, og flere vitner har i ettertid stått frem og uttalt seg i hans favør. Visstnok skal det ha vært et par interessekonflikter i bildet, og flere av de involverte parter tjente godt på at Fox ble satt bak lås og slå. At korrupsjon er en mulighet, med tanke på at dette fant sted på St. Kitts, en liten øy i Karibien, skal man ikke se bort ifra...

I know - leste hans versjon i FLEX jeg også. Men men :)

Var ikke bare FLEX jeg siktet til, men... uansett, det er aldri godt å vite med slike saker.

Lurer på om VG lager en artikkel om Titus hvis vi tipser dem...

Veldig trist situasjon, men kan ikke unngå å flire når jeg tenker meg Titus på Rømmen...

Hehe, er ikke akkurat en mann som "blender" inn :P Stikker seg litt ut ;D

Han kan jo bare kutte godsakene og håpe på en skikkelig post-cycle crash. En måned så ser han ut som en vanlig mann i litt baggy klær. Hehe

Er allerede en GO DEL minder naa.........siden de t sies han er hekta paa Meth amfetamine.....sad, sad. Jeg var i Barcelona sammen med han for kun 1 aar siden..............og Kelly har alltid vert en hyggelig jente (iallefall mot meg)..... :what:
Helt ville greier..........tenker meg de er i Mexico naa??? Hmmmmmmmmm,,,,,,,,Go Jul!

Det fins tullinger i alle samfunnslag. Det fins politikere som er kjeltringer, næringslivstopper som er korrupte, politifolk som liker å denge  kona, og prester som har litt for nær kontakt med korguttene... Så det er sikkert mulig at etpar bygger har knerta noen også...  :what:

Begge er i aresten nå..
Nå gjenstår rettsak med jury og domer og om titus eller kelly blir tiltalt for mord vanker det dødstraff for dette..

Tipper dette ikke hadde mye med sterioder å gjøre men heller stoff slik som ecstasy cokain og meth amfetamin

Forøvrig er dette ikke første gangen noen proff bygger går amok og dreper noen.. For noen få år tilbake var det en annen kjent bygger i USA som gikk amok og drepte kjæresten og svigermor...

Det er nevnt tidligere i tråden, ja--Bertil Fox. Det var forøvrig ikke i USA, men på den karibiske øya St. Kitts.

Kjipt uansett hvor det måtte vært..
Profilerte byggere burde holde seg for god til å dra rundt å drepe folk ettersom de er forbilder for utalige unge mennesker. Men det tenker de neppe på når de dreper noen. :-\

Hvor på nettet står det at de er tatt?

http://www.flexonline.com/news/106

Jeg greier ikke å lese at de er tatt/ de har meldt seg ut fra det som står der.. mulig engelsken min suger

Hvor fant du ut dette? Har du en link?


Her står det ikke at de er tatt...


Ikke glem Sally McNeil!

De er IKKE tatt eller meldt seg inn enda......

Lena

Sant nok......men 'ekkelt' naar man KJENNER noen liksom!! :-\

Lena

Det kan jo vere at dei berre renska vekk ein eller anna som fortjente å bli renksa vekk, det er ikkje alle som blir drept, det er så jævli synd i, til tider kan små drap vere til samfundets beste

Ja, men hva er poenget!? Et drap er et drap.

Så vidt jeg vet så er det snakk om ei dame som de bodde sammen med...

Aha !!!! Klassisk trekantdrama med andre ord....... ::)

    * In the ongoing story with Craig Titus and Kelly Ryan, it has now been confirmed what we already knew since Monday, that the name of the victim was 28 year old Melissa James. Sympathies to the family and her friends. This is a tough situation for all.

      According to television reports in Los Vegas, a police report now identifies the victim as 28 year old Melissa James, who was a personal assistant living with Craig & Kelly. It seems that Craig, under questioning, admitted to having an affair with Melissa. Melissa's body was found in the trunk of the burned out Jaguar that allegedly was owned by Craig Titus & Kelly Ryan on December 14th.

      As of this time, neither Craig nor Kelly have been found, and the no bail arrest warrants are still there.


Så vidt jeg skjønner så har Craig altså vært inne til avhør men ble ikke arrestert - deretter rømte de. Ser ikke bra ut...

Å kvitte seg med personen vel..

Nå kommer nok dusørjegeren fra tv norge etter de. Kansje vi ser dem på tv om en måneds tid.
Når Dusørjegeren syns en tjukk mann på 170 og 80 kg er en stor mann skal han nok få litt og bryne seg på her.

It has now been confirmed what we already knew since Monday, that the name of the victim was 28 year old Melissa James. Sympathies to the family and her friends. This is a tough situation for all.

Story is as follows:

There is new information as police continue to search for two champion bodybuilders accused of killing a woman and then burning her body. A police report identifies the victim as 28-year-old Melissa James. Her body was found in a burned out car last Wednesday.

James was apparently strangled and then the car was set on fire. Police also say James was a personal assistant living with Craig Titus and his wife, Kelly Ryan. Also in the report, Titus admits to having an affair with Melissa James. Police haven't said if that's a motive.

KLAS-TV broke this story on their website a few hours ago.

http://www.klas-tv.com/Global/story.asp?S=4276166

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 Ryan's burned 2003 Jaguar.

Titus, 40, admitted to secretly having an affair with 28-year-old Melissa James, whose body was found in the trunk of the car. Titus and Ryan, 33, said 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.

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 23-year-old Anthony Gross, 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.Titus and Ryan have since been charged with murder and third-degree arson.

Maura James, who on Thursday marked her 51st birthday by remembering her daughter with relatives in Florida, said she hopes the fugitives will soon be caught.

"I find it hard to believe they had anything to do with it because she trusted them as friends," she said. "I was shocked. I never imagined they'd be capable of doing anything like this."

Witnesses told police that Titus had said he would flee to a country that would not extradite him. Las Vegas police Lt. Tom Monahan said Titus "mentioned that he has 
been to prison and has no intention of going back."

Titus was convicted of conspiring to possess and sell Ecstasy and served a couple of years in prison in the late 1990s after he tested positive for steroids. Las Vegas police say that Titus killed Melissa James and that Ryan and Gross helped dispose of her body.

Ryan told police that after discovering funds missing from her accounts, she kicked James out of her $470,000 southwest Las Vegas home. The eviction came Dec. 13, a day before James' body turned up in the remote desert.

James packed a suitcase and Ryan, a former Ms. Fitness America, dropped her off at a convenience store, Ryan told police. But Ryan and Titus contradicted each other when police asked them separately which vehicle Ryan had used to take James to the store.

"Ryan told detectives she used her Jaguar to take James to the convenience store," a police officer wrote in the report. "Titus said she used his silver Dodge truck."

Maura James, who lives in New Jersey, said she last spoke with her daughter about 11:30 a.m. Pacific Standard Time on Dec. 13. During the brief cell phone conversation, Melissa James said she was eating at a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant.

Maura James heard her daughter ask someone what they wanted to eat. She asked her daughter whom she was with, but the question went unanswered. A short time later, Melissa James wrapped up the call and said she would call back after lunch.

She never called back and never answered her mother's follow-up calls. The next day, a Wednesday, Maura James went to the Newark airport  before 9 a.m. She was scheduled to pick up her daughter, who was  coming home for Christmas. She said her daughter was also considering  moving home to New Jersey.

Melissa James' flight arrived, but she wasn't on it. Maura James  called her cell phone and left messages. Airport officials issued a  page over a public address system. Maura James eventually returned  home alone.

She later called Titus' cell phone several times and left messages. "I thought she had been in an accident or something," she said. "I  started calling hospitals in Las Vegas. Nobody had her.

"Thursday night is when I got the call from the coroner. ... She had  been strangled."

Maura James said her daughter never mentioned being romantically  involved with Titus, who married Ryan in Clark County in June 2000.  Melissa James, who was a model and former dance instructor, had lived  with the bodybuilders in Southern California several years ago.

Titus asked Melissa James to move to Las Vegas about two months ago,  and she accepted, her mother said. In the days before her death, James told her mother that she and Ryan  were not getting along. She said she was staying at a hotel.

"I said, 'Why?' She said, 'Well, Kelly is flipping out and acting  crazy,'•" Maura James said.

Titus booked the hotel room for two nights, from Dec. 12 to Dec. 14,  and paid for it with a credit card belonging to Emperor Enterprises,  a company he and Ryan own, according to police.

"He said he had spent most of one night with James at her room,"  investigators said in the report, quoting Titus. Titus also paid for James' plane ticket home, her mother said.

On Dec. 16, two days after James' body was recovered, Amanda Polk, a  young bodybuilder who had moved to Las Vegas to train with Ryan,  contacted police with a tip. Polk met with investigators the next day  and told them that she had received a phone call from Titus on Dec.  15 "saying he was in a bad situation (and) needed to get out of town 
for a while," police said.

Titus and Ryan went to the home of Polk and her boyfriend later that  evening. Ryan hugged Polk and said someone had found her Jaguar  burned with a body inside. During a car ride to dinner, Ryan confided  in Polk, she told police.

"Ryan proceeded to tell Polk she had found their roommate, Melissa,  dead in her room from an overdose," police said. "Polk said Ryan told  her Melissa had been dead for a few hours and couldn't describe what  she looked like because it would traumatize Polk for life. Polk said  Ryan proceeded to tell her" that her life was ruined "because she  bought seven bottles of lighter fluid at Wal-Mart with her credit  card" at 3:30 a.m.

Investigators say Polk confronted Ryan and asked her why she hadn't  called police when she found the body. "Ryan responded by saying Craig told her, 'No body, no crime,'•" 
police wrote in the report. "Ryan told Polk she just did what Titus  told her to do, that she thought Titus got someone to get rid of  Melissa and she didn't kill anyone."

Police say Titus met with business partner Gregory Ruiz at a Subway  restaurant in the Las Vegas Valley on the morning of Dec. 17. "Titus told Ruiz he had to leave the country," an investigator wrote,  adding that Titus had traded in his Dodge Viper truck for a new  vehicle and intended to meet a friend in Boston to liquidate his assets.

Police obtained cell phone records that showed Titus called Anthony Gross in the early morning of Dec. 14. Gross told investigators that he left his apartment in pajamas,  filled up a can with gas and drove west on Blue Diamond Road until he saw flashing headlights from a Jaguar.

He told police that he pulled up beside the Jaguar, rolled down his  window and handed Titus a metal gas can. He said he did not know what  Titus did with the gas can and, though he gave Titus a lift back into  town, the two never discussed what had happened.

On Dec. 14, before 5 a.m., a trucker saw the Jaguar ablaze. In the  trunk, authorities found a body with white fabric around its neck and  duct tape across the face.

An autopsy revealed that James had likely died from asphyxiation. Police used the license plate on the car to trace the vehicle back to Ryan. "I think they had hoped the fire would completely consume the car so  that it would be unidentifiable," Monahan said.

On Wednesday, however, Titus and Ryan -- who have been on the covers  of bodybuilding magazines -- were being identified on television news  broadcasts as murder suspects.

Neighbors recalled Thursday that Titus and Ryan often had visitors, some driving flashy cars -- Ferraris or Mercedes. One neighbor  described Titus as friendly, adding that his physique was noticeably smaller these days.

Titus, who graduated high school at 140 pounds, has often competed in  the 250-pound range or more. Police say he is now down to about 225 pounds. A neighbor who did not want to be identified because Titus remained  on the loose, said he had noticed another change in the man: "He's  smoking. Before, he was not smoking."

Monahan said police have evidence suggesting that Titus' loss of size was causing him to lose sponsorship contracts.

Maura James, meanwhile, recalled something her daughter had once  mentioned about Titus, Ryan and steroids. "She told me that since he was getting older, he was not going to be competing as much," James said. "She used to tell me, 'Yeah, they took them when they were getting ready for competitions. And they would go to the doctor quite a bit for checking organs and things like that.'•"

Monahan said he believes authorities will find Titus and Ryan sooner or later, in part because of their high profiles and flamboyance. Their capture might bring a measure of consolation to a grieving mother.

"You know what's so hard?" James said. "They burned my daughter so that we can't even see her again before we bury her. She is so sweet. She is so sweet and beautiful. I can't imagine anybody doing that to  her."

Begge er tatt igjen!

Ettersom det er dødstraff for overlagt drap i nevada så er det over og ut for Titus og Ryan om de blir kjent skyldige..

Eller enda værre god gammeldags sjalusidrama ettersom Titus har innrømmet seksuel omgang med den drepte. Slik ting ser ut fra det som er tilgjengelig av materiale nå, så virker det iallefall ikke som dette var noe planlagte greier. Heller skikkelig amatørmessig gjørt..

Om Titus og Ryan har gjort dette altså drepte hun 28 åringen som forøvrig jobbet for de og bodde hos de, kjøpte lighter bensin og ble filmet ved kjøpet, puttet liket i bagasjen og fyrte på deres egen bil i ørkenen slik at den lyste på lang vei som en fakkel for alle i mils omkrets å se. Samt å stikke av etter de har vært inne til avhør ja da burde de havne på listen over de dummeste kriminelle i verden..
Alle med litt omgang i hauet ville jo skjønt at det der ikke ville gått spesielt bra.

Nei og nei sier jeg bare..

Triste nyheter, utrolig synd  :(

(CBS4) CANTON A pair of professional bodybuilders has been arrested in Stoughton, wanted for a murder in Las Vegas. The husband and wife were captured Friday afternoon at the Shaws Plaza, by the FBI.

Craig Titus and Kelly Ryan were wanted for the December 14th murder of a 28 year-old woman. Her body was found in the trunk of a burning car in the Las Vegas desert.

Melissa James of New Jersey was apparently strangled before the car was set on fire. She was found earlier this month in the trunk of the burning car.

Police say James was found dashed with lighter fluid and duct tape on her face.

According to a police report, James was a personal assistant living with Titus and Ryan before her death, and Titus admitted having an affair with her. Titus and Ryan accused James of stealing from their bank accounts.

According to court records, Titus and Ryan claim James was embezzling money from their bodybuilding business in Vegas.

Craig Titus later admitted to police he was having an affair with the victim.


A third person was arrested in Las Vegas in connection with the case.

Police plan to charge 40 year-old Craig Titus with murder and arson. His wife, 33 year-old Kelly Ryan will be charged with accessory to murder and arson.

According to a police report, the pair was in the Boston area to meet up with a friend who was going to help them 'liquidate their assets" so they could leave the country.

Both Titus and Ryan are championship bodybuilders from the Las Vegas area.

The 5-foot-9-inch, 250-pound Titus won titles at the June 1996 National Physique Committee USA Championships, and competed in Mr. Olympia events.

He pleaded guilty in Louisiana in April 1995 to conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute the party drug ecstasy, and served two years in jail for steroid-related offenses from 1997 to 1999.

Ryan is a past Fitness America and Fitness International winner and Fitness Olympia runner-up who worked as a loan officer for Silver State Mortgage in Las Vegas.

Both suspects will be sent back to Las Vegas to face the murder charge.

De høres ikke mye uskyldige ut fra oppførselen sin..

Uansett så er dette medias vinkling og det er opp til dommer og jury å avgjøre skyld eller ei. men ut fra det media skriver høres de MEGA skyldige ut..

Se der ja...

Ser ikke helt "Asbjørn Brekke fra Nissene på låven" ut...

Hvordan kan de vite at det er Titus? Alle kroppsbyggere ser jo like ut. Det er jo ikke engang mulig å vite om de er hvite eller svarte.

Det begåes massevis av drap hver eneste dag. Tror ikke andelen kriminalitet er så sinnsykt mye større innenfor kroppsbyggermiljøet enn andre steder i samfunnet (ikke når det gjelder drap), men narkotikapolitiet er nok til tider interessert i hva disse folkene driver på med.

Craig Titus er en profilert mann. Vært på forsiden av haugevis av magasiner opp gjennom årene, så det er vel ikke så rart at han får det som er av spotlights rettet mot seg når han blir mistenkt for drap.

Ny høring er stipulert til 12 januar hvis jeg ikke husker feil. Rettsak? Tja, en gang på vårparten muligens? Sikkert med en landsby av bobiler rundt rettslokalene. Amerikanere er så glade i sirkus og show.

Jo det er det. Det er en kjent sak at det er masse kriminalitet og drap i kroppsbyggermiljøet pga kraftig dåpingbruk som gir økt aggressivitet og galskapstendenser. Mange av drapene dekkes over og man skylder på Irak krigen og krigen mot terror. Jeg har selv sett anklagene og bevisene. Uansett så vil jeg anbefale alle å holde seg unna kråppsbyggermiljøet. Jeg var en del av det, og i løpet av denne tiden var det sjelden det ikke skjedde drap på treningskompiser etc.

Tulling!

Imhoteb, du burde ikke ta alt det JanB sier som seriøst ment...
