The Pizza Bomber

The "pizza bomber" case refers to a bizarre and tragic incident that took place in 2003 in Erie, Pennsylvania, USA. The case involved a man named Brian Wells, who was a pizza delivery driver. On August 28, 2003, Wells entered a PNC Bank with a bomb strapped to his neck and a note demanding money.

Wells handed the note to the bank teller, claiming that he was being forced to rob the bank and that the bomb around his neck was real. He left the bank with a bag containing $8,702. Shortly thereafter, he was apprehended by law enforcement.

While waiting for the bomb squad to arrive, the device around Wells' neck detonated, killing him. The incident gained widespread attention due to its unusual and perplexing nature. The investigation revealed a complex and bizarre plot involving a scavenger hunt-style set of instructions and multiple individuals.

Marjorie Diehl-Armstrong and Kenneth Barnes were identified as key suspects in the case. Diehl-Armstrong was later convicted of being the mastermind behind the plot, which involved using Wells as a pawn in a scheme to rob a bank and obtain money for her. The motivations behind the plot remain a subject of speculation, and the case has been the focus of documentaries and true crime discussions.

The pizza bomber case is a tragic and unusual event that highlights the complexities and dark motivations that can be involved in criminal activities.
