Titus and Ryan Fighting Extradition

Titus and Ryan Fighting Extradition

When it seems that you are obviously lying about the little things it is hard to believe you on the larger issues. Take body builders and murder suspects Craig Titus and Kelly Ryan. The duo vanished after they were questioned by Las Vegas police about the murder of their assistant, Melissa James, 28, whose strangled corpse was found in Titus' burned out Jaguar. After a massive manhunt, the police find the dynamic duo in Massachusetts with a thick stack of cash: Titus had shaved his head and Kelly dyed her hair. But the two claim they were absolutely NOT running or hiding. According to their attorney this morning in the Las Vegas Review-Journal:

These two were here (near Boston) to spend some time for the holidays...They found out they were wanted for arrest and were ready to come back.

Can even their best friends believe that? Also, if they were ready to come back then and clear their names why are they fighting extradition back to Vegas now, which may keep them in Massachusetts for months?

Speaking of friends, how's this for a quote from a friend of Titus in the same story:

If Craig was going to kill her, he would have done it with his hands---not a noose or duct tape or anything. Craig would've grabbed her by the neck or choked her easily. I know how Craig thinks.

So, let me get this straight, his own friend believes Craig is capable of murder and, not only that, his friend believes strangulation would be Craig's preferred method ergo it wasn't him?  Fantastic reasoning! I bet that guy believes they were just vacationing, too.
