Just so everyone knows, in 2018 (after this video was released), Jessica Hoopsick said that she was involved with the plot, and was asked to find a "gopher" to be scared into robbing a bank. Hoopsick said Wells was "a pushover" and chose him, and she identified KENNETH BARNES as the head conspirator. She also said that Wells had no prior knowledge of the plot.
Are we the only people that really paid attention in the details of what really happened in the crime? I like the video that these people made. But there was a lot of inconsistencies to the real truth of a story. I just watch this twice in a row on Netflix and then researched it myself after.
@@jamesfall101 i agree. They left out a lot of important details. Ryan should have mentioned how the police made the decision to remove Wells' head to "CONSERVATIVE" the bomb device around his neck!
You can see that wells did put up a struggle with whoever put the bomb around his neck....look at the dirty knees on his jeans he’s wearing. He was on the ground at one point. Probably against his will. so I dont believe he was involved. He just happened to know those who were.
I feel sorry for this Wells man...
But why would he be so calm during the robbery, to the point of grabbing a sucker on the way out? Unless the note demanded he do that as a sign to show that he had the money, I don't think that's what an innocent party with a bomb clamped to their neck would do. I'd have told the teller to call the police & bomb squad because I was forced at bombpoint to rob the bank.
Why is it called the "bizarre collar bomb incident" instead of the "erie collar bomb incident" because it happened in Erie Pennsylvania
Missed opportunity.
💯
Locals call it the pizza bomber case
Can confirm, the Erie news stations always called it The Pizza Bomber Case or the Brian Wells case. But the pun should be this video's title.
If from the Erie area and yes we call it the pizza bomber

I'd say the most messed up part of the case is that his accomplices turned on him and put a real bomb on his neck and also the bomb squad arrives after the bomb blew up
Brian had no use for it after the bomb went off . I saw the NF doc on this and I have to watch it again This case truly showcases the evil in this world

Coming to this video to say that I knew Brian Wells personally as a child. This horrific incident happened when I was nine years old. The landlord in question is my grandmother. Brian was a wonderful guy for the short time I knew him. My brother and I made mini pizzas with him one day in the shop where he worked using the giant mixer. He was always polite and friendly when we visited (cuz the rental is in the backyard he was always kind of around). I saw someone mention that he was mentally challenged but that definitely wasn't apparent to me or anyone else in my family. As far as I know, Brian was a good dude.
You should do research on this story and try to remember everything you can about Brian and write a book that clears his name a little. My gut keeps telling me that Brian Wells is innocent. I don’t know why but I just feel it that he’s innocent.
Yeah
Cool fake story for internet points. Congratulations
@@brianbadonde9251 ah yes, because absolutely nothing on the internet is true.
@@randomstuffprod. I'd rather be skeptical than believe everything I read in TH-cam comments
I just watched a documentary on this case. Jessica Hoopsick later admitted that she had told those 3 monsters involved in the planning of the heist about Brian Wells and that Brian was easily manipulated and a pushover, so they used him as their bomb carrier. He didn't really know what he was getting into. She went along with it cuz she was going to get 5000 dollars out of it but she said she felt terrible for getting Brian involved cuz he was really good to her and he was innocent. Apparently he was a good guy, according to everyone that knew him personally. All i know is i feel bad for that guy cuz no one helped him as he sat there pleading for help
Why did he blame it on black guys?
Apparently he was instructed to day some black guys did it if he was caught
If you’re talking about the Netflix documentary, the story still has holes and the confession might be false. What’s clear is that the mystery isn’t concrete solved
i know right, id sue the cops and the city even after the bomb went off they did nothing to help him, he was still alive
@@cubed.public its definitely still cloudy but its the most realistic version of the story I've heard so far and would explain a lot
"There is a bomb stuck to me!"
"Shut up Brian, we are trying to find out how to arrest a bomb"
Cop: Did anybody bring their pepper spray?
Cop2: No, but don't worry his head is about to be blown off anyway.
lmfao
Bomb squad: Sorry I'm late, what did I miss
Cop: Something mind blowing
“Have you tried kneeling on his neck even though he’s handcuffed?”
i didn't realize my spotify was still playing music so i was trying to figure out why they were playing "celebration" when they were talking about a guy dying

Even sadder is that Jessica Hoopsick, the girl that set Brian up, gave birth shortly after the heist and it's believed to be Brian's. So Brian would have been a father and jessica has to live knowing shes responsible for getting her child's father killed. Crazy story all the way around
i didn't know she was pregnact but as brains profile shows he may have been a great father, always working and being responsible seems like a humble guy
i meant brian not brains LOL
She is absolutely not responsible. If he chose to do this crime, that’s on him.
@@AsdfAsdf-mi6ks she...she's one of the ones who set him up. She's the one who chose him bc he would be easy to manipulate

Something to point out with Brian’s “calmness”. It’s very possible he was in shock. People often refer to the fight/flight/freeze response and a common attribute to the freeze response is disassociation caused by trauma. It’s also possible that his survival instincts kicked in and realized if he acted out, the people watching him would have set off the bomb.
Yeah, him getting a dum-dum doesn't seem that weird to me. If you thought that this might be your last day on earth, I could see how someone might choose to grab a lolipop on the way out. I've also heard of people who felt eerily calm right before a high-risk surgery, or right before they decided to commit suicide. It's a weird thing where the brain is forced to make peace with the situation
As a McDonald’s employee and can confirm that a guy rummaging through the flower beds is not that weird.
I love how the cats head was censored

13:02 Fun Fact: a large amount of houses in New Orleans are supposedly haunted. So, having a selling point for a house be "NOT HAUNTED" makes a lot more sense than it would anywhere else
Sounds like. Uh. Either New Orleans has a mold issue or maybe a carbon monoxide issue. Possibly gas leak issue.
the thought of someone coming up to me and putting a collar bomb on me gives me mad anxiety
lustremyg it’s even worse when you live exactly where this happened like me
That’s not even what happened. This dude is mad guilty
“Hey here’s your pizza-“ *puts collar bomb on me and tells me to rob a bank* “I- what?”
it's worse that someone can just say hi to you and then puts it on without you being able to escape
that happened to some girl in australia. some guy broke into her house, strapped a [fake] bomb onto her, and orchestrated a hostage situation. after like 19 hours they figured out the bomb was fake and cut her out. can you even imagine that though? yikes
edit: she was 18 years old and it took 10 hours to remove the collar. it's called the mosman bomb case.
Wells: Get this collar of, it's gonna explode!
Police: (Leave the collar on)
Wells: (Explodes)
Police (surprised Pikachu face)
They are not the bomb squad. They have no ability to defuse the bomb.

Fun fact, it's possible to make a joke without knowing the joke already exists. And no, I will not delete this comment.

Being from Erie, I'm curious about the lack of mentioning Wells being mentally challenged. I remember when this happened, being a huge crime in my somewhat small city, and everyone in my family who knew him described him as challenged or quiet and weird. But if that's true, it adds a whole new layer to his victim status. Maybe those family members were just mean, but it makes sense given the circumstances.
If he was mentally challenged or developmentally disabled in some way that might explain how he could have gotten roped into the plot. He may have thought these people were his friends and maybe been easily manipulated so that by the time he realized what was going on it would have been too late.
Its very common in cases involving mentally ill or intellectually disabled people that they will be blamed for what is done to them as if it is their fault for being sick or disabled, it may be that they did not want to perpetuate that or could not be certain of the method in which he was intellectually disabled.
Pretty much everyone involved in the incident had some form of mental issue. Marjorie is purportedly either schizophrenic or just suffers from NPD. Rothstein was most likely autistic. And Barnes also likely had a learning disability.
@@tzvikrasner6073 Well this doesn't exactly seem like a crime that any particularly stable person would have come up with.

Fun little Saturday
*Talking about a bank robbery*
Shane and Ryan: Let's facetime this Saturday
Fun Fact: Wells was a scavenger hunt enthusiast and had been featured in his local paper as such after winning a town-wide scavenger hunt. (Maybe this is why he was selected to participate, willingly, or not?) Also, when police went to Rothstein's home they missed the sketch/plans for the collar bomb which was out in plain sight, most likely due to the sheer amount of stuff that prevented officers to really take everything in, plus they were there about a body in a freezer, not the Wells case. It wasn't caught until some time later, when photographs or video footage was revisited that they could clearly make it out, sitting at the edge of a table.
... That. Makes it all the sadder. I don't know why. :(

Wolfie dude that’s how you accidentally detonate the bomb and get even more people hurt. You have no choice but to wait for a bomb squad when there are explosives to deal with. This isn’t really up for debate. The cops couldn’t defuse a bomb without a bomb squad.
I can't believe, that after watching this series for two years and just coming back now, that Ryan is responsible for the weird voices people do on TikTok when narrating mystery stories.

When he called the pizza place and was initially talking to the wrong guy, he deliberately made it so he couldn’t understand him, so that Wells’s colleague would pass the phone to the right guy. Further evidence Wells was in the know, wasn’t just a random pizza guy
also the fact that Brian's shift was over but he agreed to stay and take that delivery
why wouldn't they just bait the other dude? if brian was in on it, why would he volunteer to have a bomb around his neck?
@@starfish0607 because Brian wanted some of the stolen bank money, and he didn't think the bomb was real or would work
@@starfish0607 plus if they had "just bait(ed) the other dude" he may not have gone along with it and could have identified his attackers for who they were and not "a group of black men"
@@johanvajse8410 Wells claiming that it was a group of black men who put true collar bomb on him is the one detail that can’t be explained away. If he wasn’t in on it, why didn’t he identify Barnes or whomever put the bomb on him? He apparently was acquainted with him and would have no problem identifying them. His demeanor is also hard to explain away.

The Netflix documentary about this case called evil Genius was just fantastic and that's where the case was actually solved.
you guys forgot to mention that there was a coworker at mama mias who ended up dying not long after “under mysterious circumstances” and was requesting protection bc he was afraid the people who killed Brian wells was also going to kill him. His name was Robert Pinetti and he scheduled an interview with investigators for a Monday and was killed Sunday evening

I bet the shotgun cane was made from the shotgun she used to kill her boyfriend. That’s how they “disposed” of it
interesting point!
I thought of that too!
They recycled so atleast cared about the planet maybe the planet was in on it
I'm sure they thought of that & tested the shotgun shells that were in the shotgun to the ones in the boyfriends body. If they matched then it'd confirm everything.
That’s what I thought

my guess would be that this would have just happened to someone else haha

They had to wait for a bomb squad
@@sins4223 they had some very unfortunate timing.
Yeez M don’t forget there was heavy traffic that day and the bomb squad had to reroute lol
Ik guys that's why I said it. I think it's better that one died cause if the police tried who knows more could have been killed.
@@sins4223 They waited 30 minutes to call the bomb squad
At the beginning they said that Wells' coworker answered the phone and just so happened to hand it to Wells because they couldn't understand the caller's accent. If Wells was in on it, what would have happened if the coworker had handed it to some other employee? Seems like a weird chance to take
Were there any employees besides Wells that day?
Re-watching BuzzFeed and criminal minds at the same time and when they mentioned the FBI analysis of the behavior I felt like I was in a crossover episode 😂
Its sick to think about a teacher going to work with a bunch of highschool kids and going home to a hoarding house with a body in a freezer.
Allen Jay ikr, that made me scared.
Yup, you can’t trust no one
She was a teacher?
Linda Svalesen no the man who was hiding the body was a teacher
My teacher said something really creepy a few weeks ago...I changed schools.
wells seems like a really good guy, like he literally came late to work because his cat.
Yeah, poor guy’s cats probably miss him.
Honestly I’d do that. I’d be so sad I’d be out for a week grieving
Netflix has a whole mini series in this! The guy isn’t that good O: but yeah RIP cat
maeryon There was a news coverage on this heist. The FBI confirmed that Wells was tricked. There were witnesses who heard him discussing fake bombs weeks prior. Also, the real bomb had schematics. In Rothstien’s home, they found crude sketches showing an unidentifiable mechanism. After the case closed, ballistic forensic experts and retired bomb squad personnel looked into the odd device. It turns out that the device was the clamp, and the clamp armed the bomb once closed. The timer couldn’t be stopped, as the way the device was set up caused any tampering to detonate prematurely. The phone receiver in the device would signal a cutoff switch, causing imminent detonation. He was double-crossed. Granted, the fake bomb might be here-say, Wells was innocent to a degree.
maeryon a
My favorite thing is when they talk about dark and bizarre things, and then they digress to talk about spring cleaning, and shirts they never wear 😅
Bomb starts beeping loudly
Troopers around him:
😃🍿
This episode was probably the most twisted, confusing, weirdly plotted I’ve ever watched.
Chloe ikr I literally have no idea what’s going on
Watch evil genius it will shed more disturbing details on the mstter believe me
Torian Lynch was about to say the same. Watch the documentary
There is a documentary called "Evil Genius" covering this case in detail currently on Netflix which explains everything. Wells was 100% innocent.
@@rosanguyen9143 no he wasn't innocent... Netflix's evil genius will explain
So uh, did they do the Spring Cleaning together? Or will it remain Unsolved?
Find out in the next episode, The Bizarre Case of the T-shirt Thief
I don’t know why but Ryan and Shane planning to do Spring Cleaning together is so adorable
This sounds like an extreme Saw trap, which imo makes this even more terrifying
If you guys ever do spring cleaning together and film it, I'd watch the heck out of that.
Revina Que me too 😄
Revina Que ㅐ비ㅔㅁ
I hope they do 😂💯
I'd watch anything these to did together, *anything* ;)
Honestly, same
"Will you grind the body?"
"... **sigh** "
*Goddamnit Marjorie. You stepped over the line. What were you thinking?*
In a goddamn ice grinder at that.
I mean... at least run him through with the coffee beans.
im here after the riddler tied the bomb to that ceos head in batman
LOL same
same
I was thinking of the same thing!
I just hope his cats found loving homes
hannahmawaii same
Mez that’s what I was thinking about during pretty much the entire episode.
Zoe Potatoes they died
sammi where did you get that information
That’s what he would have wanted
5'3" and balding? That's a dude that hates genetics, man.
Jon S i mean, at least he didn’t reproduce
No, genetics hate him.
@@hollystanislawski5680, I'm sure it's mutual.
Wrong!!!! It had said somewhere that Brian Wells was in fact 5'9, not 5'3. Just saying.
ZestoMuch that’s disrespectful af.
I wonder if mcdonalds or another business in the area had a camera pointing somewhere near the flowerbed and could rewind the footage to see however put the note under it beforehand.
you would hope that the police would explore those kind of leads but who knows
@@em_973 police doing a thorough investigation? Never heard of it 😭😂
I don’t know how to feel as a Marjorie myself
lmfao
might I suggest you don't get married and if you have dogs, clean up after them
@@johanvajse8410 Does it work if I get married to a woman instead of a man??
@@gayfish9238 nope, you're too likely to murder. It's in the name. LOL I am jk ofc
Marjorie: *gets life sentence*
Also Marjorie: *get +30 years on sentence*
A life sentence doesn't technically mean their entire life, its usually somewhere from 7-25 years depending on the crime.
@PanicingAnimal Do you mean parole? Not bail, cause bail is the sum of money paid for temporary release awaiting trial, where they are then sentenced.
Just means they gonna leave the corpse in the cell for another 30 years
Would hate to be that corpse cell mate
Unclaimed prison corpse, you say...?

This was the best episode i've ever seen. Amazing. Brians story is chilling
I watched this video when it originally came out and now I return as a diagnosed autistic adult. Wells seemed to have displayed many potentially autistic traits - being shy, extremely dedicated to a job without great prospects, single with several pets with whom he connected more than people... the removal of car parts for being "too shiny" is especially telling. My point is, that could explain his odd behaviour during the robbery itself. We often act in a way that seems unfitting to the situation, almost bizzare and inexplicable; I could absolutely imagine myself acting as calm as he was while internally, I'd be paralysed with fear. I do believe he was a victim.
john mulaney doing coke before his graduation: this has nothing to do with the death of princess diana
glassie !! Chip Mulaney: this has nothing to do with Penelope, or whatever her name was!
Gotta say, it's definitely a little weird to hear stuff like "the bomb around Wells' neck went off" when your last name is Wells
13:37 rothstein's house is just the bank building that they reused, you can see it says "PNC BANK" on it 😭💀
"at age 46, wells lived alone with 3 cats"
probably me in my mid forties tbh

When Ryan suggested they spring cleaned together my face lit up simply because their bromance is awesome. Even when Shane pointed out they live in different places, the suggestion of Face Time came into play. No obstacle can tackle a bromance that is strong like Cory and Shawn!
Great comparison....
oh my god i literally just saw a Cory and Shawn bromance video before this. I love this comparison . (Another one of my fave bromances are joey and chandler )
karleesawesome like the best bromance ever. They’re best friends from a show called boy meets wolrd. disney did a spin off called girl meets world but shawns only in like 4 eps
karleesawesome oh man that hurt to read
Now thats strong Bromance
Thank you for your informative videos and I hope you will continue doing this for long. Kudos Shane and Ryan and staff.
