Frustrated so far in their investigation of a stranger-than-fiction bank robbery, investigators on Monday were scheduled to hold a news conference at which they were expected to release details of a robbery note carried by a pizza deliveryman who was locked to a time bomb. Scheduled for 15:00 ET 09/08/03.

FBI releases 'sketches' of two men wanted for questioning, in the 'pizza man' collar bomb case at 15:00 conference. I don't have a link to the sketches yet, but here's a photo from an ABC news interview with J Lo: http://abcnews.go.com/sections/GMA/Entertainment/GMA030908JLo_Ben_wedding.html

The FBI is trying to find two men to question in connection with the bombing death of pizza deliveryman Brian Wells on Aug. 28. Officials released composite sketches of the pair -- one a muscular black man and the other a white man with straight hair -- at a 30-minute news conference today. The FBI has not called the men suspects, but said agents want to question them because they were seen running in the area around Peach Street and Interchange Road at the time of Wells' death. The FBI today also said that Wells carried a multipage note that told him where to go after he robbed the PNC Bank branch in the Summit Towne Centre on upper Peach Street. Wells robbed the bank and got to one of the designated locations -- a McDonald's near the bank -- before the bomb locked to his neck exploded at 3:14 p.m. The other locations were the woods near the northbound ramp of Interstate 79 at the Interchange Road exit; the woods near the McKean Township sign in the southbound lane of I-79; and the Grubb Road overpass in the eastbound lane of I-90. The FBI was to post the photos of the two men on the FBI Web site no later than Tuesday. The sketches will appear in Tuesday's Erie Times-News.

Two men were seen running in a suspicious manner not far from the scene of a bizarre bank robbery and explosion that took the life of a pizza deliveryman who told authorities he had been forced to commit the crime by someone who strapped an explosive around his neck, an investigator said today. http://abcnews.go.com/sections/GMA/US/pizza_bomber030908.html

Wells robbed the bank and got to one of the designated locations -- a McDonald's near the bank -- before the bomb locked to his neck exploded at 3:14 p.m.

We know he was given instructions to verious locations where he was told he would find instructions on how to disarm the bomb. But my guess would be the first order of business was to stash the money. A McDonald's is an odd place for that, very public. If it wasn't the first thing he was supposed to do then that's even odder.
