Craig Titus and Kelly Ryan: Plead Guilty
Bodybuilding champions Craig Titus and Kelly Ryan have been under investigation for the past two and half years ever since the charred remains of the couple’s personal assistant was found in December 2005.
Titus, 43, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, first-degree kidnapping and arson and Ryan, 35, pleaded guilty to arson and battery with a deadly weapon with significant bodily harm.
Allegedly the two attacked 28-year-old Melissa James with a Taser, drugged her with morphine, duct-taped her face, restrained her and beat her. Then they put her in the trunk of Ryan’s car, lit it on fire and left it on Blue Diamond Road in the middle of nowhere.
The two were at the top of their game a few years ago with Titus being a place-winner in the international Mr. Olympia contest and Ryan being a former Ms. Fitness America and Ms. Olympia runner-up.
Looks like the two will have plenty of spare time to weight lift seeing as Titus is looking at 17-55 years in prison and each of Ryan’s charges carry sentences of 2-15 years in prison.
