Fox news recently reported:
“Lauren Jenai, who founded the popular exercise regimen CrossFit with her then-husband Greg Glassman, reconnected with childhood pal Franklin Tyrone Tucker on Facebook after her messy split from the fitness guru. The friendship soon turned romantic, and the two decided to wed at the Monroe County jail where Tucker is currently awaiting trial for murder. Jenai said that, when the two reconnected, they hadn’t seen each other in 30 years, since they were children growing up in Philadelphia.”
“The two, who are both 47, have yet to see each other in person since the relationship began, however, because the jail reportedly does not allow in-person visitation. The couple is also barred from video chatting ‘for the next 100 years’ because they violated jail rules”
However Jenai did not found CrossFit, as CrossFit Inc team member Ben Allen confirmed.
“She is in no way associated with CrossFit at this time and was never a part of its founding,” Ben Allen, CrossFit’s military liaison.
The Miami Herald continued:
“Jenai, a mother of four who lives in Portland, Oregon, also hired a private investigator and a New York lawyer to help her childhood friend “Ty.” He has since turned into a romantic interest while they were communicating after the murder of Mathew Bonnett, 59, at 5650 Laurel Ave. the night of Nov. 17, 2017.
Police say Bonnett left his home to investigate a commotion going on at a nearby tree house shanty when he was killed.
Tucker and Wilson were leaving the tree house and on the stairs when they ran into Bonnett, who was stabbed multiple times, police said. Johnson was reportedly the getaway driver.
Investigators say Tucker, Johnson and Wilson planned the robbery after hearing there might be a large amount of cash at the home. Johnson drove the two other men to the scene of the homicide in his black truck and waited, police said.
All three remain locked up at the Stock Island Detention Center without bond since their arrests days after the killing.
Prosecutors don’t believe the killing was premeditated. They have also charged the three with armed robbery and Tucker with witness tampering for allegedly threatening a witness five days after the killing.
“There is no intent to seek the death penalty,” said Larry Kahn, spokesman for Monroe County State Attorney Dennis Ward.”
