And then ?

Did the CIA and Mossad have a Garage Sale?

[SwinneySwitch]

This is still eerie!

[Dane]

Gave you what they have on thier website. The news is that the FBI searched a house other than Wells's.

[dfwgator]

Somebody set us up the bomb.

I love a mystery....and this really does qualify. Did they ever release what his friend died from???

[Thank You Rush]

He was killed by the bomb and he was arrested? I must have had a longer week than I thought.

Not authoritative, but some stories hint at overdose. He was a drug user (traces of drugs in his urine).

He may have been distraught, or complicit.

Much more interesting than Kobe or Peterson (grin)

Well since it seems that you just came back on the red eye flight from Mars, I'll fill in the details.

A bank robbery happened last Thursday in Erie, PA. A pizza deliveryman was stopped by the cops and he had the money on him.

He had a bomb collar around his neck, the bomb squad was on the way and the bomb blew up killing him. Two days later a person who worked in the same pizza shop with the bank robber died of an apparent drug overdose.

Hit topics and click Pennsylvania, and look at the headlines and you can get a much better background on the case.

I don't get it?

Ping...

[My back yard]

Thanks, I was wondering too. I've only caught pieces of this story on the fly. I saw the movie 'Phonebooth' the other night and was wondering??? whatsup?

[LibKill]

This case just gets weirder and weirder. I wonder if they'll ever get to the truth of it.

I admit I have no ideas.

[restornu]

I understood your slur, So wet on you!

[Quilla]

Is there any truth to yet another twist I heard today? Authorities found notes on the dead man (pizza delivery guy) or in his car that gave him instructions to follow. Supposedly, after following the notes he would finally discover how to diffuse the bomb.
