(CNN) -- The FBI on Tuesday released photos of a steel collar used to secure a bomb to the neck of a pizza deliveryman killed last week after robbing a bank in Erie, Pennsylvania.
Investigators also said they had found no direct connection between the death of the deliveryman -- Brian Douglas Wells -- and later death of a friend and co-worker.
FBI Special Agent Bob Rudge said the bomb's locking device was unique, sophisticated and has "significant lead value" to investigators.
The FBI said it had released the pictures in hopes that someone will remember seeing it somewhere before the robbery.
"We feel this device was made uniquely for the incident at hand," he said. "We are hopeful that by showing a picture of the device, someone may recognize the instrument, the metal, the locking material used to secure it to the neck and, certainly, call us with that information so that we can further examine the details of its construction."
Wells, 46, was killed Thursday afternoon when a bomb attached to the collar exploded after a bank robbery. Wells had told police he had been forced to rob the bank.

Jeez louise. I'm beginning to believe this (dead) guy. Looks like he was genuinely forced to rob this bank.
What a grim situation. Wonder how many copycats?

There was an episode on CSI, which delt with a coller device that looked a bunch like this one. It was designed to detonate if tampered with, via contacks in the coller.
VERY INTERESTING !!!!

what happened to the money?
To: ambrose
Naw. I think if you were to put a bomb around your own neck, 1) You wouldn't arm it and/or it would not be real, and 2) You DEFINITELY would not lock it on.

Pizza boys, UPS drivers, postal carriers, meter readers, and school crossing guards are ideal "suicide under protest" couriers for anyone wanting to really screw with the "system".
I wonder if our CIA has any plans like these in foreign operations arena's? America does tend to write the book on psy-ops and covert dirty tricks ya know. Maybe someone is uctually using our playbook which may have escaped from pandora's box?

Wasn't there some movie with this same concept? A prison where every prisoner wears an explosive collar, along with another. No one knows who his partner is, and they can't be any more than 300 feet away from each other or else both collars explode.

I don't think he was really ever robbing the bank. He was getting media attention and into the news cycle for terrorism purposes.
Look for the next one to be forced to board a crowded bus like in Israel. The bank was just an announcement.

Somehow I totally missed the original threads on this. Anybody got any links?

I even posted my He blowed up real good picture from SCTV when the story first came out.
If somebody did this to him, they really suck ass. Pennsylvania does have a death penalty, though I dont think its actually executed very often. (just like here in NJ.)
