Brief summary...

APB human remains found in trunk...


She interviewed Tom moneham from LVPD

Names are in national DB.

We don't think they're in LV, we don't know where they are.

Either together or seperated.  Could be either.

Armed and dangerous?  They are dangerous, we don't know about armed.


What evidence do you have? 
I am reluctant to elaborate, but it is substantial and enough to support an arrest warrant


What about the victim?
A  We're still awaiting DNA results for verification. 

Motive?
Appears victim was accused of identity theft, and Titus was sleeping with her.  Appears he was having an affair.

Anthony Gross was arrested as an accessory. Assisted them substantially. 



Not one mention of steroids!  Good work MSNBC, sticking to the facts!

Holy Shit!

That Detective Monahan said there is "SUBSTANTIAL" evidence against CT.....and he sure looked and sounded confident about it.......

The victim was appearantly stealing $$ from Titus, and this Gross guy is in it up to his neck...and she and CT were indeed having an affair.

I am telling you right now, Anthony Gross has spilled the beans and talk the cops everything that happened..

CT found out about the embesselment and whacked this girl.........

According to the Rita Cosby: Live & Direct piece:

If the police LT is to be taken at his word, then police are operating under the belief that the deceased (whose identity has NOT yet been confirmed) had been using Kelly's identity and was also having an affair with Mr. Titus.  At some point, they believe she threatened to expose some of his criminal activity to the police and it's then that he strangled her.

I do not believe this is how it went down, but this is what the police and prosecutors believe.

Innocent til proven guilty sure. But, doesn't look good at all for Titus. If the girl was murdered and she did die of something else, burning that evidence is not the way to go... Won't really matter how she died now, may not be any way to tell how it happened which defaults to murder and not a suicide or OD...  What a waste.

Tom Arnold will play Titus and the ugly chick on the Drew Carey show will play Kelly.  May the guy who did No Pain No Gain will produce it.  It is the biggest BB film since Pumping Iron.

KLAS-TV posted the name of the victim earlier this evening.

Dec 22, 2005, 06:36 PM PST

There is new information as police continue to search for two champion bodybuilders accused of killing a woman and then burning her body. A police report identifies the victim as 28-year-old Melissa James. Her body was found in a burned out car last Wednesday.

L O L!!!   I got a 155 - not bad for a brotha.  My goal was 150, so I'm happy about that.  The question now is whether I can score 10-12 points higher next time out. 

The bar seems to be a rather tricky mistress.  In shopping around, I've noticed some schools with seemingly low admissions standards have some of the best bar passage rates, while schools that are tougher to get into sometimes have lower bar success. 

Univ of Missouri is looking very attractive right now, while Carolina is my #1 choice.

My degree is in biology.  My entire life was geared towards a career in medicine, but I had to let that dream go.  The law fascinates me, so I believe that's what has brought me here.

A 155 is a very good score. That will open some doors to good schools-if you are black you will be sitting very, very good.

You will most likely get some "merit" scholarship $$$ from lower to mid ranked law schools with a 155 LSAT.

As for a better score the next time around, almost all law schools will "average" your scores, they will not just take the high score. So if I were you I would not retake the test.

Your score is pretty damn good and even if you scored a 160 on a future exam it would not make much difference............al so-if you get scholarship $$$ take it!

Hey man, thanks for the info and the vote of confidence!  I just spoke with my little sister and she's recommending a re-test in February (my GPA is not competitive), suggesting that I prepare next time around.  My #1 choice has a Feb 1st deadline, but all my 2nd- and 3rd-tier choices are Mar 1st or later.  She's certain I could get into her school (Central), but wants me to bolster that resumé and go for something higher (she did her undergrad at Carolina, then got her JD from NC Central).      

I would *love* to pick up some scholarship money and would certainly consider attending a lower-ranked school if it meant saving tens of thousands of dollars. 

Now that the scores are in and deadlines are approaching, the process is becoming very, very real.  It's been a long time since I did this for college, and everything is very different now...especially the stakes. 

Where did you go to law school?

It can be done for half that price in Canada.

Several years back I was lecturing at the Mi'kmaq ( IB&M ) Initiative at Dal law and " spear headed " a group which brought the late Johnnie Cochran to Halifax to speak on minority involvement in law. Johnnie and I spent many hours together over lunch and it was quite obvious to me why he was as successful as he was.

Give some thought to a law degree in Canada, world class schools and much cheaper.

Tre why the change from medicine? I saw in one of your posts that you didnt have a competitive GPA... There are caribbean med schools!!

I am a 2nd year neurosurgery resident, our cheif resident actually went to a caribbean school!! So... as you can see, it really doesnt matter what medical school you go to.. It only really matters how you did on your USMLE, to get a very competitive residency..

I was actually a criminal justice major undergrad, but at the same time completed my pre med classes also.. I had thought about law school for a few minutes, but then quickly snapped out of it...

Either way, best of luck! PM me sometime if you wanna talk more
