In this Wrap Sheet episode of Heists, Hustles, and Homicide, host Steve dives back into one of the most disturbing cases in true crime history - the Pizza Bomber case.

This isn’t just a robbery gone wrong. It’s a story of calculated cruelty, where Brian Wells, a pizza delivery driver, was manipulated, lied to, and strapped into a bomb that no one ever intended to disarm.

We break down:

Why Brian appeared calm leaving the bank - and when that calm turned to terror
The absurdity of a “master plan” that netted barely $8,000
The impossible scavenger hunt designed to fail
The twisted psychology behind Marjorie Diehl-Armstrong, Kenneth Barnes, and William Rothstein
An umbrella-disguised shotgun that feels ripped straight from a Bond villain’s closet
And the haunting question: was Brian ever supposed to survive?

Along the way, we roast the stupidity where it deserves it, slow down where the humanity demands it, and ask how people can be cruel enough to treat another human being as disposable.

Plus, a teaser for next week’s deep dive into the FIFA corruption scandal.
