The Pizza Bomber: The Unsolved Mystery of America’s Most Bizarre Bank Robbery

On August 23, 2003, a shocking crime that became one of the strangest, most infamous robberies in American history occurred. The incident was so unique and headline stealing that Netflix recently aired a documentary entitled "Evil Genius." It centered on a pizza delivery man who had a bomb locked around his neck when he was delivering an order. He then robbed a PNC bank, and was arrested shortly after. The man, Brian Wells, told police, while he sat handcuffed, that he was a victim, and that three men locked the bomb around his neck. He was instructed to rob a bank, and follow all of their instructions, or the bomb would detonate. Before police could dismantle the bomb, it exploded, and Brian Wells was dead.
