August 28, 2003 Brian Wells, who is a 46 year old pizza delivery driver for Mama Mia's Pizzeria in Erie, PA takes a phone call from a customer around 1:30 pm wanting 2 small sausage & pepperoni pizza's delivered to 8631 Peach Street, a few miles from the pizzeria.
A half hour later, Brian approaches PNC Bank at Summit Towne Center on Peach Street and demands $250,000 from the teller. He has a strange bulge under the collar of his shirt. The bulge is a collar bomb, ready to explode at any minute, if Brian doesn't do what he's told.
He waltzes out of the bank with only $8,702 sucking on a lollipop.
By 3:18pm, police officers had Brian detained, and the bomb went off, blowing a hole in his chest.
Police and investigators are on the hunt for who was involved in this horrible plan, and why...
Listen now to the insane tale of The Pizza Collar Bombing.
