He became captivated with the murder of Brian Wells when evidence emerged that Wells may have been forced to commit the robbery with a bomb strapped to his neck. He began interviewing people around Erie, Pennsylvania where the incident had occurred. He began a correspondence with Marjorie Diehl-Armstrong in 2005, two years after Wells's death, because she might have information about the cold case. He spent years investigating the case, including interacting extensively with Diehl-Armstrong while she was in prison. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
