Kelly Ann Ryan (born July 10, 1972, in Minneapolis, Minnesota) is an American known for being convicted of arson, and assault and battery with a deadly weapon, as an accessory to the December 14, 2005 murder of Melissa James. The young woman had been working as a personal assistant to Ryan and her husband Craig Titus at their home in Las Vegas. Each of the defendants took plea deals shortly before their joint trial was to start. Titus was convicted of second-degree murder, kidnapping and arson, and received a much longer prison sentence than did his wife. Ryan was sentenced for her charges to two consecutive terms of 3-13 years each. She was paroled on the second sentence on 24 October 2017. Ryan is a former professional fitness champion and member of the International Federation of BodyBuilders.
