The collar bomb heist is the crime caper that keeps on giving. Every time the story seemed like it was figured out, another layer appeared. Tune in today to hear Josh and Chuck detail this very odd and twisty story.

AI Summary

In this episode of Stuff You Should Know, Josh and Chuck dive deep into one of the strangest true crime cases you'll ever hear: the 2003 collar bomb bank robbery in Erie, Pennsylvania. A pizza delivery driver named Brian Wells walks into a bank wearing a homemade bomb around his neck, robs it, and then mysteriously dies when the device detonates while he's surrounded by policeβ€”but was he a willing participant or an unwitting victim? The guys unpack this bizarre heist that involved a scavenger hunt, multiple suspects with conflicting stories, and a cast of characters including a brilliant but allegedly ruthless woman named Marjorie Diehl-Armstrong, leading to questions about who really masterminded this deadly caper that technically got solved but still feels unsolved to many.
