"Collar-bomb victim's family seeking help through Web site"

ERIE, Pa. - Frustrated by a lack of progress in the FBI and state police investigation into the death of their brother, the siblings of a pizza delivery man killed by a bomb locked around his neck have taken to the Internet to ask the public to help.

The Web site, www.brianwells.net, is named for Brian Wells, 46, of Erie, who died as he sat handcuffed in a parking lot on Aug. 28, 2003 - when the bomb he was wearing exploded as state police waited for a bomb squad to arrive...

The website is poorly written and, in an undiplomatic move, calls the investigating officers incompetent. However, it does have scans of the many letters involved as well as pictures of the cane gun that was used. That alone should be rare enough to be a very valuable clue.

This case might have spawned a copycat case involving a Memphis medical examiner. See "The Microbiologist Mystery gets weirder and weirder".
