Pizza DeliveryGuy NeckBomb Bank Robbery Story: Any News?
Remember this story from last week? Apparently, nobody knows what the hell it was all about; it made the front page of USA today. Anyone hear anything new about this? Was it a botched robbery or a deliberate murder? What about the co-worker also found dead on the same day? What the hell happened? Please, I can't find any updates on the web, and this is the most bizarre non-political news item to come along in a long time.

2. The Last I Heard
Was that they were still investegating. I know they searched he and his brother's house on the assumption he made the bomb himself and used as an alibi to rob the bank.

3. His name was Brian Douglas Wells, btw, re: doing searches for info.

Here's the most recent article I found on the case.

Investigators, however, are leaning toward a theory that Wells was a victim, and not a willing participant. One law enforcement official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the investigation has uncovered no evidence that the unassuming deliveryman acted on his own free will.

4. Yeah, if it's your own neck, you strap on a FAKE bomb to rob a bank
How bizarre, though. I wonder if they ever asked him where he was supposed to take the money to? (and if they sent a car around to investigate)

And what bizarre villain would DO that to a pizza guy???
