About this episode

When delivery driver Brian Wells wound up with a bomb strapped to his neck after trying to fulfill a seemingly normal order of 2 pepperoni pizzas, local police thought their strange day had come to a dramatic end. In reality, it was the start…


By the end of their investigation they’d have to solve a scavenger hunt, track down a woman known as “crazy Marge”, and defrost the body of a mystery man tossed inside a freezer.


This week Suruthi and Hannah deliver one of the most bizarre cases in American history, and try to unbox the truth behind the ‘Pizza Bomber’.
