It’s a crime that many may remember, taking place just East of Northeast Ohio in Erie, Pennsylvania.
It is now the subject of a four-episode Netflix series titled "Evil Genius."
The series, on the verge of going viral, revisits the “Pizza Bomber heist’ that took place August 28, 2003.
It begins with the murder of Brian Wells, a middle-age deliveryman that robbed a bank with a gun shaped like a cane and a bomb wrapped around his neck.
He demanded $250,000 but only left with $9,000.
Wells was caught by police and claimed he was pawn in a larger plot.
That’s when the bomb squad arrived and everyone realized that the bomb was real.
Wells was killed when the bomb exploded.
The makers of the film appeared on Megan Kelly, Monday Morning where she summarized the four-episode special.
“It reveals new information on Brian Wells himself-- the man whose killed -- the role he did or did
not have in this crime that played out so shockingly on national TV.”
The series walks through the story of Marjorie Diehl-Armstrong -- who some believe was the mastermind of the crime.
Was she the evil genius that the show is named after? The binge-able Netflix series tries to answer that very question.
The case is closed, but much like "Making A Murderer" on Netflix which triggered the re-opening of a cold case some believe this kind of attention, detail and public pressure may just do the same.
