    On August 23, 2003, Brian Wells walked into a PNC Bank in Erie, Pennsylviana, with a hommade bomb collar strapped to his neck and demanded $250,000, or he would detonate the bomb. When police arrived, Wells begged them to help him, and told them that he was just a victim in a mastermind bank robbery. Before the police could help him, the bomb detonated, killing him instantly.

    The two-year investigation would reveal a conspirators that instantly turned against each other, hommade explosives, and a string of murders that pointed to one brilliant woman at the center of it all: Marjorie Diehl-Armstrong.
