On August 28, 2003, pizza delivery driver Brian Wells was killed when a bomb collar strapped to his neck detonated following a bank robbery orchestrated by Marjorie Diehl-Armstrong to fund a murder-for-hire plot. Evil Genius
Key Takeaways:
• Wells robbed a PNC Bank wearing a bomb collar after being lured to a radio tower; the device exploded while police were detaining him, an event broadcast on live news. Evil Genius
• The scheme was masterminded by Diehl-Armstrong, who needed $250,000 to hire a hitman for her father, with technical help from Bill Rothstein, who built the device and instructions. Evil Genius
• Investigators linked the crime to Rothstein and Diehl-Armstrong after discovering a dead body in Rothstein's freezer, leading to their convictions and the revelation of a complex conspiracy. Evil Genius
Despite the FBI classifying Wells as a co-conspirator, evidence suggests he was an unwitting pawn manipulated by a group of sociopathic criminals who designed the heist as a deadly game.
