A dud bomb, a foiled bank heist and a very twisted plot

But this whodunit began Monday in a quiet cul-de-sac in Bristol, Connecticut. And two days later, police say they are still searching for the two men who forced their way into Yussman’s home and ordered him to carry out the heist.

It was still dark, when Yussman pulled into his driveway, he told police. As he tried to go inside, the men forced their way in with him. His mother was inside.

The men, who Yussman said wore dark clothes, ski masks and goggles, tied the two of them up and affixed “explosives” to them, Yussman told police.

Wells walked into a bank with a jerry-rigged bomb around his neck, saying if the bank didn’t hand over money, the people behind the scheme would detonate the bomb and kill him.

Wells died, when the bomb exploded on live TV. But investigators later determined that Wells himself was in on the scheme.

Wells’ family still insists he was an innocent victim.
