The exploding pizza delivery man -- what happened?

Posted on 07/27/2005 6:11:13 PM PDT by Poundstone

Does anyone recall the incident in the late summer of 2003 in which a pizza delivery man died when a bomb he was wearing exploded? As I recall, the pizza guy robbed a store. When he was surrounded by police, he said he was forced to commit the crime by others, and he was wearing a bomb shackled to his body by the perps. Before anyone could remove the bomb, it exploded, killing the pizza guy.

The last I heard (well over a year ago), the incident was still a mystery and nobody had been arrested.

Anyone know the latest on this?

thanks.

Fox`s Geraldo Rivera Focuses Pizza Bomber Case

The Fox News Channel is putting together a special for the second anniversary of Erie`s "pizza bomber" case.

Fox News correspondent Geraldo Rivera was in town for the past two days revisiting the bizarre death of pizza delivery man Brian Wells.

Wells died nearly two years ago when the collar bomb locked to his neck exploded.

The crime remains unsolved.

Fox News will air a one hour show about the case at the end of August.

Geraldo sat down with JET-TV`s Rob Macko earlier today, and told him he thinks more than one person was behind the crime.

Geraldo also says he thinks the case will someday be solved.

I heard the meat on the walls of the nearby house was not pepperoni.

Thanks for the update on Fox's Gerardo special on this.

If you see this broadcast, would you be willing to post a brief summary of the conclusions of the program? I'm overseas and can't get Fox here.

many thanks!

My mother brought it up yesterday. Apparently she was near the town where it went down when she called.

Geraldo in Erie? Quite a switch from the exotic places he usually goes to.

But I guess he can use his sailboat on Lake Erie.

It would be great if you could post a summary of Geraldo's report. I'm in Japan and I can't watch Fox here.

Thanks!
