Vegas Heat

On December 14, 2005, the charred corpse of a young woman was found in a burned-out Jaguar on a Las Vegas, Nevada desert road. The car was registered to Kelly Ryan, who was married to Craig Titus, and both were stars of the body building world. Craig and Kelly claimed their car had been stolen the day before by Melissa James, their 31-year-old live-in assistant and a dancer, who was headed to New Jersey to spend Christmas with her mother. Melissa never made it to New Jersey. “48 Hours" correspondent Peter Van Sant reports. This classic "48 Hours" episode last aired on 9/18/2010.
