FBI searching for 2 men for questioning in pizza bomb case.
Erie Times-News ^ | 9/8/03 | Ed Palatella

Posted on 09/08/2003 2:02:18 PM PDT by FootBall

The FBI is trying to find two men to question in connection with the bombing death of pizza deliveryman Brian Wells on Aug. 28. Officials released composite sketches of the pair -- one a muscular black man and the other a white man with straight hair -- at a 30-minute news conference today. The FBI has not called the men suspects, but said agents want to question them because they were seen running in the area around Peach Street and Interchange Road at the time of Wells' death. The FBI today also said that Wells carried a multipage note that told him where to go after he robbed the PNC Bank branch in the Summit Towne Centre on upper Peach Street. Wells robbed the bank and got to one of the designated locations -- a McDonald's near the bank -- before the bomb locked to his neck exploded at 3:14 p.m. The other locations were the woods near the northbound ramp of Interstate 79 at the Interchange Road exit; the woods near the McKean Township sign in the southbound lane of I-79; and the Grubb Road overpass in the eastbound lane of I-90. The FBI was to post the photos of the two men on the FBI Web site no later than Tuesday. The sketches will appear in Tuesday's Erie Times-News.

Did LE ever rule out the possibility that the bomb was remotely detonated?

were seen running in the area around Peach Street and Interchange Road at the time of Wells' death.

Maybe they were running because some guy was screaming that a bomb was about to go off.

I think the guy on the left is Sister Bertrille's cousin.

They saw him flying away from the scene in a stiff breeze.

This keeps gettting weirder and weirder. Now when I first heard the story I thought the guy put the bomb around his neck and went to rob the place. Then after I read the FBI wasn't even sure if it was possible to put the bomb on himself (I mean the thing had 4 key locks and a combination lock) I started thinking whoa! How the Hell could he have put it on himself. And then who would start the timer on the bomb themslelf? I mean if you were going to use it as a prop to rob a bank would you really start the timer???

Now this business about the note. That's news to all of us. I'm more and more thinking this guy was the victim.

This case is tending to follow the same pattern of development as the Malvo/Mohammed Snipers. It is difficult to tell what is real information and what isn't. The officials are releasing very few details--shades of the Sniper case--but requesting information from the public--again, shades of the Sniper case.

As with the Sniper case, this case probably won't be solved until some outsider inadvertantly falls over the perpetrators by accident--shades of the Sniper case and the truckdriver who spotted the perps' car in an interstate rest area.

Those two guys in the sketch are wearing Muslim beanies.

But the one on the left looks Norwegian.

Maybe he was running away from the Norwegian women I read about on that other thread?
