Summary

On August 28, 2003, FBI Special Agent Jerry Clark responded to a bank robbery in Erie, PA. This was no ordinary bank robbery. Instead, it would become one of the most complex investigations in the history of the FBI. Brian Wells tried to rob a bank with an explosive collar around his neck that was on a timer. Finch was supposed to follow a trail of clues after robbing the bank to get the collar removed. He never made it. After the grisly death of Finch in front of law enforcement, Clark worked for the next seven years to bring everyone involved in the case to justice. Find out more about this case at PizzaBomber.com and pick up Jerry’s books on this case and others.
