Bodybuilders suspected in Vegas murder
Body found in torched car, abandoned in Nevada desert
Las Vegas police are hunting for a husband and wife bodybuilding team suspected in the murder of their live-in personal assistant. The twisted story, which involves a love triangle gone bad, a former USC cheerleader, a former model, allegations of embezzlement and a torched Jaguar abandoned in the Nevada desert with a dead body in the trunk, has much of the Sin City buzzing.
Authorities found 28-year-old Melissa James, bound and gagged, in the trunk of the car left on Route 160, southwest of Las Vegas on Dec. 14. After inspecting her charred remains, authorities determined James had been strangled.
Craig Titus, 40, and Kelly Ryan, 33, are suspects in the murder, according to local authorities. Both had once graced the cover of bodybuilding magazines, and Ryan was a cheerleader at USC. Now they have both been charged with murder and third-degree arson and are fugitives.
