And there is an APB that is over tonight for two famous body builders. Craig Titus and Kelly Ryan face murder charges in the death of a 28-year-old woman who lived with them in Las Vegas. The husband and wife were nabbed in Canton, Massachusetts, almost 3,000 miles from their home.
LIVE & DIRECT tonight is “Las Vegas Review Journal” crime reporter Frank Curreri and also is Bob Cicherillo—I had to pronounce that, sorry, Bob. He's a friend of both the suspects and is an athlete representative for the International Federation of Body Builders.
Frank, let me start with you, because these guys were captured how?
FRANK CURRERI, “LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL”: Well, they were captured, I'm told—this is preliminary information—they were in a parking lot of some sort. And apparently, somebody spotted them, and then they were surrounded and surrendered without incident.
COSBY: What were they doing when they were captured? I mean, did they have any idea that everybody was looking for them?
CURRERI: Well, at this point, I don't know. I'm not privy to that. I was not aware—you know, obviously, I'm not aware of what they said at the impromptu press conference in Massachusetts.
COSBY: You know, and we're looking at new video right now that we actually just got in, of them being captured. It looks like at least one of them we can there. It looks like one or both of them actually look like they're in the back of this police car. We can certainly see it looked like a woman in that one.
Do we have any idea at all why they were found in Massachusetts? Did they think to look outside of Vegas, Frank?
CURRERI: Well, police had information that they had ties to a body building friend or acquaintance in Boston. And they had information that the plan was, get to Boston, liquidate assets, and get out of the country as quickly as possible, possibly to Greece. And the investigators claim that Titus believed that, if he were in Greece, he, for whatever reason, would not be extradited.
COSBY: You know, Bob, what do you make of all this? I don't know if you know the friend that they were heading to towards Massachusetts, but what do you make of this whole case?
BOB CICHERILLO, FRIEND OF CRAIG TITUS AND KELLY RYAN: Well, obviously, the body building community is stunned over these actions. We've all known Craig and Kelly a long time. Over this past year or so, they've kind of gotten away from the sport and have really been kind of disassociated with body building. So, obviously, this still came as quite a surprise, as this is nothing you'd ever expect.
COSBY: Where do you see this ending up and the impact on the community, real quick?
CICHERILLO: Well, I really don't think it's going to impact the community. I mean, this is not a body building crime. I mean, this is very much a Craig and Kelly crime. They're obviously going to have to atone for whatever they've done. And it'll have to proven in the court of law. Like the saying go, you're innocent until proven guilty, so we'll see what happens.
COSBY: We absolutely will. Both of you, thank you both very much.
We appreciate you being with us tonight.
