WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Two people are expected to be charged Wednesday in connection with the bizarre 2003 case in which a pizza deliveryman died after a collar bomb attached to him exploded, CNN has learned.
Brian Wells died August 28, 2003, in Erie, Pennsylvania, after he claimed gunmen grabbed him, locked the bomb around his neck and ordered him to rob a bank. Police detained him following the robbery, and the device exploded as he waited on the pavement. A bomb squad was en route to the scene but did not arrive in time.
Authorities have not said whether they believe Wells was a victim or a co-conspirator in the plot.
Two sources tell CNN one of the individuals who will be indicted is Marjorie Diehl-Armstrong, who has been linked to the case for years. She is in prison after pleading guilty but mentally ill in the murder of her boyfriend, whose body was found in a freezer in a home close to where Wells made his final delivery, investigators said.
The other person expected to be charged is Kenneth Barnes, a fishing buddy of Wells, one of the sources tells CNN.

Huh. That was a strange story.
I’ve wondered what became of this. Crazy.
Charges expected ? I thought charges were what did the poor guy in ?
/sorry couldn’t help myself.
This was one weird story from front to back.
If true, it would raise her body count to 3
