Craig and I are the same age and watched him work his way through the ranks. He hit a peak and I started to see a decline in the past 4-6 years. Drugs? I met him guest posing, however no one can drawl a conclusion from a brief encounter. I was aware of his "Wild Child" reputation. All I have is what I can read from sources available. I have a hunch he may be guilty of the act in one way or another and I'm afraid they both lack common sense and may not be the sharpest tools in the shed and seem to have lost touch with reality. Sad for all, especially Melissa and her mother! Well have to wait for the "Gavel of Justice" to fall. I have followed body building for about 15 years.

Drugs destroys life, so does bullets, burning cars, strangulation. Send them some money to their defense fund. They need it. You to are a mensa, whoever you are Seth.

Finally someone that actually knows Kelly. Craig Titus is a big teddy bear. Melissa’s death was a tragic accident. Drugs destroy people’s life. It is a shame she had to die.

There is no way she did this on purpose. She didn't have a mean bone in her body! I was Kelly Ryan’s cheerleading partner at the University of South Carolina. There is no way she did this on purpose.

What a shock. I wonder who has the international rights. Sadly folks, this book sounds like a feature magazine article rejected by the nationals with comments like, “Sir, do you know what the term ‘fact checking’ means?” or “No thanks, we don’t print balderdash.” Or “Sorry, nobody cares about bodybuilders. Try Muscle and Fitness.” So what did Pruit do? He fluffed his skimpy story into book length with blue prose, conspiracy theories and hearsay interviews, knocked on his boss’s door and the rest, as we say, is publishing history. Well, I’ll look for it if I pass through Las Vegas. Trust me, it won’t get much further.

( No disrespect toward MJ intended..) They were gonna buy her a trip back to NJ or Florida. She needed to get really intoxicated for the long flight back east since she had a history of dependance "so we have heard." Took to Much Meth, OD'D and started into convulsions. They injected Morphine to bring her down and her heart stops. They use the taser to try to shock the heart into beating again. She die's and they freak out and dispose of the body. Well, I know it seems crazy, but has anything in this case been sensible? Could this be a weird Pulp Fiction of a Case? ( No disrespect toward MJ intended..)
