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.
It happened in Erie, Pennsylvania.
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.
It's a cold case now.
So the pizza would be free?
Perhaps a personal reenactment by Geraldo??
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!
Funny you should mention this, I was just thinking of it for no good reason the other day.
My mother brought it up yesterday. Apparently she was near the town where it went down when she called.
Nobody knows. But Geraldo has been in Erie alot lately for a special he has been working on about the story.
ping
;)
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.
Geraldo special airs tonight on Fox.
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!
On Fox right now.
I am sorry, but I missed the show. I thought it was on at 9 eastern....and I am on the west coast so I tuned in at 11.....it was over.
