If it was put on him by someone else, the cops bombed out on this one. If the timer had been active all the time, would he have made it to the thieves before it detonated?
If that is the case, the elapsed time between the robbery and the detonation gives a radius of travel for investigation. Could he have returned to the original delivery address? I expect there would have to be enough time built into the scenario to at least allow for transfer of the money, even if the bombers had no intent of defusing the device.
If the device was a self-set escape ploy, he couldn't apparently defuse it with his hands cuffed behind his back..

http://216.87.159.43/news/default.asp?mode=shownews&id=3499 Time Line Of Thursday`s Peach Street Bomb Blast
The scene has been cleared but the investigation into the deadly bank robber bombing on peach street is still underway. Federal agents from the FBI are in charge of the investigation.
At 2:22 pm Thursday, the man later identified as Brian or Bryan Wells, 46, of Millcreek Township, entered the PNC Bank in Summit Town Center. Wells handed a note to the teller demanding money and he said he had a bomb strapped to his chest. He then lifted his shirt and showed the teller the bomb.
Wells was given an unspecified amount of money, and fled the scene at 2:30 pm.
Customers from inside the bank followed the man outside, wrote down his license plate number and called 911 as he drove away.
State police pulled the man over around the corner at Eyeglass World, at 7200 Peach Street.
When confronted by police, Wells was immediately handcuffed. That`s when Wells told troopers he had an explosive device. Troopers immediately dropped the suspect to his knees on the ground and backed away.
The area was secured, Peach Street was shut down and the Erie bomb squad was called. But before they arrived the bomb that was strapped to the man`s body exploded.
After the bomb detonated members of the bomb squad inspected the body and searched the suspects car for any other explosive devices. Troopers, FBI and federal ATF agents later searched two areas off I-79, one near the Kearsarge exit and one near McKean.
Around 11:35 Thursday night police also surrounded a home in the 2300 block of Loveland Road in Millcreek. They blew the door around 1:15 in the morning, and began searching the home.
Then around 4:20 this morning police and federal officials cleared the scene on Peach Street and the roadway was reopened to motorists.
Police have not yet released any details at to whether any evidence was obtained during their searches, and it is still unknown whether the suspect detonated the bomb, or if it was on a timer.
Co-workers turns up dead. Do we have anything else on that? I know this is series but I'm getting hungry.
