Titus & Ryan Case
People are asking about the Titus & Ryan Tour
August 4, 2006

  • Ladies and Gentlemen. Boys and girls. Figure and bodybuilders. Due to overwhelming demand, and constant interest on the Craig Titus and Kelly Ryan case, we decided to purchase a small bus, and present the Titus & Ryan Tour. This tour will encompasses some of the various places and outline the specialized details of the transcripts and people who are involved in the case. We hope you enjoy the tour. This tour is also in no way meant to demean the tragic loss of Melissa James, but to satisfy the thousands who want to know more about various places.

    The bus itself is a small air conditioned bus, that can seat 18 plus the driver, who also will be your guide for the tour. We also put in a special television in it, so while we are driving from place to place, we will present highlights of Craig Titus and Kelly Ryan in competition, and much more. It took a special team of two artists to enlarge the photographs and put them on the bus, and the bus is not new, but refurbished.

    First - let us all welcome the news that Titus is running for the governor of Nevada is 2006. And from what we hear, there is a good chance that Titus will win. Can anyone imagine Titus being the governor of Nevada. Well - it can happen. Here is one of the signs that is posted around.

    Now - lets be clear on something. Craig Titus or Kelly Ryan are not convicted of any crime at the moment, and have only been charged. Until the final verdict is read sometime late in 2007, we are presuming that both are innocent, and that is our stance. Regardless of what you think and what you hear the evidence is, you don't know the other side of the story!

    Ok - well, we didn't exactly lie, did we now? If you were gullible enough to believe that Craig Titus is running, shame on you. The truth is that Dina Titus, with no relationship to Craig, is really running, and she seems like an excellent candidate. It should be interesting to note that if she is governor, can Titus pardon Titus, if he happens to be convicted, which he isn't that the moment.

    But if they are not convicted, then where is Craig and Kelly at the moment. Well, hence, we shall begin the first leg of our tour. We shall start in downtown Las Vegas, right next to the famous downtown casinos. Ok, about 3 blocks away, but in a beautiful, immaculate building which has at least 7 floors. Craig and Kelly are on different floors, and different sections in this building, and are treated well, and are in good spirits.

    Well, you can visit them, but not whenever you would like, unless you are a priest or a rabbi. Each floor has special visiting hours, and the maximum that can visit at one time is two people only. You must come an hour earlier to check in, go through security, and you must bring a valid id with you. If they want to see you, then you will be called and you will only be allowed to see them and talk to them via a 21 inch video screen and a hand held phone. The maximum amount of time to talk to them at one seating is 25 minutes. We will not be stopping here today, that you can do on your own time, and there will be no exploiting your visit via an exclusive interview. That just isnt cool.

    If you don't want to visit them, then you can always write to them. They have the same address, which is Clark County Detention Center, 330 S. Casino Center Boulevard, Las Vegas, Nevada 89101. For Craig Titus, address it as Craig Michael Titus - ID# 01895641. For Kelly Ryan, address it as Kelly Ann Ryan - ID# 01992276.

    Our second stop is where Craig & Kelly lived in Las Vegas, and where Melissa James lived also. Now we can't disturb or even go in anymore because the house was sold to other people, but at least we can look at the street, the neighborhood, and the size of the house of where they lived. The first thing we notice is that it is a beautiful part of Las Vegas, about 10 miles west of the strip, in a new part of the city, and all of the houses in this area are nice. The house is much bigger than the picture shows also.

    But if you wish to see what the inside of the house looked like, look at your television monitors, we have pictures courtesy of when they were selling the house of what it looked like. For those of you who are at home, please click on the link below to check the pictures out.

    Titus & Ryan's Pictures inside the House


    Our next stop is the Walmart - the famed Walmart where Kelly Ryan allegedly bought 6 cans of lighter fluid and a BBQ set. This is a really big Walmart, a supersized one, and where we will have a bathroom break also. It is only about a minute drive away from Craig & Kelly's house.

    Here are the outside security cameras that captured Kelly allegedly going back to her car that evening. At night, it is very dark, but it looks like these cameras capture infrared? Once we enter the Walmart, there is a McDonald's to the left, a Nail Salon to the right, and the bathrooms right after that. At one of these cash registers, Kelly allegedly purchased those items. The items purchased are located in the Home Gardening Section of the store, all the way to the far right of the store, at the end.

    Here we go. For those of you that didn't want to stay at McDonalds, and get their nails done at the Nail Salon, all the way to the far right of the store is where the lighter fluids are, as well as the BBQ sets, and more. Plenty of supplies here, in two different sizes.

    The Green Valley Grocery is really right across the street and about a minute away from the Walmart. Here is where Craig & Kelly allegedly dropped off Melissa as she was ready to go to the airport. It is also a gas station in front, and you buy your gas in the market. You can also buys drinks, sandwiches, and just about anything you need in a small time store. You can also gamble here, as they have various slot machines there. Now there is a video tape of the day in which they dropped off Melissa, but there is a surprise on that video tape as to who was there. We won't reveal anything, but come January 2007, when the trial begins, new revelations will come out.

    Look at your screens. Here is a map of the the three places - Craig & Kelly's house, the Walmart and the Green Valley Grocery. Look how close they are to each other. But our next stop is farther away, about 2 1/2 miles south from here. Let's go...

    This is where Mandy Polk and Ryan Chastain lived, and where Craig & Kelly spent the night after the alleged murder. It a brand new neighborhood, which is not even on any map yet, Quintessa Cove street is a nice area, and the house had three bedrooms and a loft. Craig & Kelly also owned this house at one time, and rented it out to them. Craig & Kelly spent the night here on the floor after the alleged murder, taking refuge, staying away from their house, after whatever took place. But the next night, they stayed at a hotel.

    But the night that they stayed at Mandy and Ryan's, they went out for Chinese food, and also Cold Stone Creamery ice cream. Here, allegedly, is where these two places could of been. There is also a movie theater in this area where Craig & Kell used to go to the movies a lot too.

    The La Quinta Hotel, on Sahara, is about 2 1/2 miles north of where Craig & Kelly lived. The La Quinta Hotel is where Craig & Kelly tried to stay on the night after they stayed at Ryan & Mandy's house, but Ryan didn't want to put a deposit on his credit card. But the La Quinta Hotel is also where Melissa James spent the last night of her life. And where Craig allegedly stayed with her, or someone stayed with her that night. We do know that Craig checked in at this hotel for Melissa.

    While no one exactly knows where the last place Melissa allegedly ate at, or where she called her Mom at, we can assume that this is the KFC where it occurred, considering that is is located within 100 yards or walking distance of the La Quinta Hotel. We also don't know who was with Melissa that day when she made that call, only that she was with someone.

    When Ryan wouldn't use that credit card for their room, they went down the street to the Holiday Inn Express, coincidently located right across the street where Jeffrey Schwimmer lives. You can't go into and visit his house because it is located behind guarded gates, but Jeffrey's house looks incredibly huge, like a mansion. Anyway, apparently at the Holiday Inn Express, you don't need a credit card to get a room, just cash, so this is where Craig & Kelly stayed on the second night away. Also, Greg Ruiz lives just around the corner from his hotel too.

    Our next stop is somewhat far, about 8 miles away, to Integrity Dodge, where Craig went and exchanged his old truck for a brand new truck, for a trip cross country to visit some friends. Here, at Integrity Dodge, they treat you very well. Even the security guard was friendly, and will answer all of your questionts.

    Here is the Shell station and the Shortline Express Market, where Craig Titus and Anthony Gross allegedly met at 4am, and then set off down the highway about 20 miles to dispose of the body. While we are going this far to see where the meeting took place, we will not be following the route west into the mountains. That would not be appropriate.

    Our final stop, is where Ryan purchased the Tazer gun, the famed Fox's Spy Outlet. It is here, located next to the University of Nevada of Las Vegas, that when Ryan was arriving to Las Vegas with Mandy from a state far, far away, the first thing he did was purchase the Tazer again.

    There are many other stops, such as Silver States Realty, where Kelly Ryan worked with Meagan Foley, as well as Meagan & Jeremy's house, but alas, our trip is done for now. While we hope that your curiosity of these places are satisfied, please remember that something tragic happened here, and that many people's lives were changed forever, and someone is no longer with us.

    Here are some comments from various people that went on the tour...

    "I was surprised to see how close the Walmart was to Craig and Kelly's house - I could almost envision Kelly walking over to the area where the lighter fluid was, looking for a barbeque set - I looked at the checker, and wondered if she was the one who worked that night Kelly bought the stuff"

    "I still can't believe she did that, and bought it with her own credit card! I wondered where they parked the car in the parking lot - was it close to the entrance? Was Craig sitting in the car waiting for her? Where was Anthony Gross at this time?"

    "It was a surreal feeling. It felt strange entering the Green Valley Grocer. I wondered how many times Craig, Kelly, Melissa James had been in there. I had no idea, when i bought that sandwich, and the orange juice, that they too had actually bought some juice or sandiwch at the same place, perhaps even on the day of the alleged murder?"

    "When we were at the house, I stared at the door of the garage. What that where Melissa was allegedly killed? What really happened inside that house that day?"

    "I stared at the outside of the La Quinta Inn, wondering what room they were in, what state of mind they were in...did Kelly know they were there? I wondered if the clerk on duty at the hotel was on duty the night Craig and Melissa checked in there.

    "I was shocked to see how close the KFC was to the La Quinta Inn - where Craig got a room the night before Melissa's death. Melissa could have walked there from the hotel IF that's the right KFC. I would have liked to have gone inside the KFC, picturing where Melissa sat when she talked to her mother on her cell phone. Talked to her for the very last time in her life.""

    "We went by the store where Ryan bought the Taser Gun that was apparently used on Melissa the day she died. It was a weird feeling."

    "It was eerie driving at night from there house to the Walmart, to the Green Valley Grocer, to the hotel, to the Gas Station where Craig, Kelly and Anthony Gross met before taking Melissa's body out to the desert to burn. What were they thinking at that point? Why did they have this Gross guy with them? "

    "It was like a dream looking at the house, knowing they had such a nice place and now it's all gone, that they are sitting in a jail cell. I wondered what it was like for Craig and Kelly after Melissa was either murdered, or found dead, how they made their plans to go to the Walmart, Ryan & Mandy's house, Green Valley Grocery, meet at the Shell Station. It was almost like this really could not have happened"


  • Please note that there is really no tour - this is all imagined. But so many people are interested in where people live, the sites, what happened, that this was set up for entertainment purposes only. This is in no way meant to dishonor nor make fun of the actual people involved, as this is a serious alleged crime and someone did die here, either via murder or overdose, and two of our industry's major players are in jail awaiting first degree murder charges. There will be a trial in January 2007 which will detail a lot of the facts and more.
