I promised more information on Brian Douglas Wells, the pizza delivery guy from Erie, PA that robbed the bank while wearing the collar-bomb and blew up while surrounded by the State Police.
The FBI has put up the following page seeking more information. It looks like, from the evidence they've released, and the information they're seeking that Mr. Wells was indeed coerced into committing the crime, and was not acting on his own.
Also, the cane gun that he was carrying was provided to him by the same person who placed the bomb around his neck.
