Man Accused Of Robbing Murdered Ardmore Model To See Trial

ARDMORE, PA – The man accused of robbing former model Christina Kraft's Ardmore apartment days before she was found dead in the same apartment will see a trial, according to court records.

Andre Melton, 31, of Philadelphia had all charges tied to the burglary at Kraft's Sibley Avenue apartment in August 2018.

Melton will head to trial on charges of burglary, criminal trespassing, theft by unlawful taking, and receiving stolen property – all felonies.

Melton is free on after posting $25,000 bail on Dec. 10 after being arrested Wednesday, Dec. 6 on drug charges in Philadelphia, according to court records.

According to Philly.com, Melton told a Montgomery County court that he did steal from her apartment, but did not kill her, in the Aug. 19 break in.

The outlet reports Melton is accused of taking $10,000 worth of jewelry, keys, and the title to a BMW, a Social Security card, credit cards, high-end handbags, and other items.

Melton's formal arraignment is slated for Feb. 27, court records show.

Jonathan Harris, 30, of Johnstown has been charged with first, second, and third-degree murder, robbery, and more in connection with Kraft's death on Aug. 22.

He was arrested Aug. 29 while getting off a bus in Pittsburgh thanks to tips from the public and was denied bail at his Aug. 30 preliminary arraignment.

The break-in and murder are unrelated, according to authorities.
