The murder case against former fitness professionals Craig Titus and Kelly Ryan in the death of their former assistant, Melissa James, gets odder with each passing week. The latest is that a former cellmate of Craig Titus has been charged with trying to hire a hit man to kill three key witnesses in the case. Titus and Ryan's involvement in the attempt is unclear and so far they have not been charged.

Glen Puit of the Review-Journal has owned this story locally since Titus and Ryan were returned to Las Vegas to face trial for James' death. Puit today reports on numerous contacts and connections between Titus and the man arrested for allegedly trying to have the witnesses against Titus killed.
