Pizzaman Collarbomb Arrest

[Ladyzekke]

I don't know if anyone remembers this or not. Back in 2003 a pizza delivery man robbed a bank in Pennsylvania with a collar bomb attached to his neck. He claimed the bomb was forced on him so he could rob a bank for some criminals he never did identify. Police arrested him shortly after the robbery, and while awaiting for backup the bomb went off (with news cameras filming) killing the pizza man.

Well they have arrested 2 people for it, finally!

While police waited for a bomb squad, the bomb exploded, killing Wells. Police found a gun resembling a cane in the car and a nine-page handwritten letter that included detailed instructions on what Wells was to do with the bank money and how he could unlock the collar by going through a kind of scavenger hunt, looking for clues and landmarks.

That...is sick. Seriously, it's borderline Saw-esque (if you haven't seen the films, they are that type - play a game, if you win you live, but it will cost you.

Of course I'm not a detective, nor qualified or suitable to comment on the case, but seriously, can you imagine a "co-conspirator" willingly wearing and locking a bomb onto his neck, knowing he had to go through a serious of 'tasks' to remove it? Knowing that if he got caught, he would be blown up? Sounds fishy to me.

Yea, I mean, if that guy was in on it, why would they let them strap a timed bomb to his neck knowing all the stuf he had to go to get it off? I think the brother was understandabley pissed. And that lady sounds like a real freak who deservers a little mor than seven to twenty years.

I agree. That woman killed her boyfriend and put him in her freezer, then involved herself in putting a bomb on some poor pizza delivery guy's neck so he could rob a bank, so she could use the money to kill her father. UnFFFbelievable! I hope she never gets out of jail or whoever was her accomplice. She looks like a right nasty one too from the pic.

Anybody's guess really. It's not like a 46 year old pizza delivery man has any reason to rob a bank. I mean, why would they? That said, no one would willingly allow a bomb to be placed around their neck. I wouldn't mind knowing a few more of the facts before forming an opinion. There are too many possibilities as it is.

I wish that that was true. Seems to be all the rage at the moment. The amount of suicide attacks going on over here is disturbing.

I remember this though. I remember the videos of the pizza guy surrunded by the police trying to convince them that he wasnt the bad guy when they pointed guns and whatnot at him. Mental, god knows what he was going through.
