He was prolific and predatory and sadly there will no doubt be many more victims who suffered at this hands, than the crimes with which he was charged.There are a lot of lessons to be learned about believing victims when they take the brave decision to report and many more about ea

The RCP team weigh in and offer their insight and analysis about the death of Brian Wells, which is the focus of the Netflix show ‘Evil Genius: The True Story Of America’s Most Diabolical Bank Heist’ co-directed by Trey Borzillieri and Barbara Schroeder. Brian Wells, a local pizza delivery man, held up a PNC Bank with a bomb collar around his neck and a cane gun. He had two pages of elaborate handwritten instructions - a detailed scavenger hunt - leading him from place to place, both to steal $250, 000 and pick up new instructions, with the promise of freedom if he completes the tasks in time. Having left the bank he was stopped by police in a parking lot.
