Brian's Story

Brian Wells attended East High School in Erie and then dropped out during the sophomore year in 1973. Brian worked as a mechanic after dropping out but was only modestly capable of working that field according to the New York Times profile. Around 2001, he moved to Arizona for a while to live with his younger brother and work at a carnival. At the time of the robbery, Brian was renting a cottage behind the home of his land lady, Linda Payne. Although he had no interest in living with her, Brian still had a weekly steak dinner with his mom on Sundays leading up to his death. He lived there for about five years at the time of his death.
