Help sought in bomb probe
The Associated Press
ERIE, Pa. -- A nine-page handwritten note found in the car of a pizza deliveryman who robbed a bank, then was killed by a bomb fastened around his neck, warned that he would be "destroyed" if police were notified of the plot.
Portions of the note released Tuesday by the FBI contained detailed instructions, including a drawing of the McDonald's arches where the deliveryman was to take the money, and the warning: "Act now, think later or you will die!"
The note -- the first evidence disclosed in the case in four months -- was found with Brian Wells when he died Aug. 28.
Before the bomb exploded, Wells told authorities that he had been forced to rob the bank by someone who locked the collar bomb around his neck. Police surrounded Wells and were waiting for a bomb squad to arrive when the device detonated.
The FBI released photographs of the note, with portions blacked out, in hopes that someone recognizes the author from the penmanship or the writer's penchant for obsessiveness.
