Post 1/6: Australian collar-bomb suspect arrested

Douglas Peters was arrested in Oldham County, just outside Louisville, Kentucky in August. Peters is a 50-year-old Australian investment banker who was accused of attaching a fake bomb to a teenage girl's neck. This was an extortion plot once worked for a company with ties to the victim's family.

To me, the story was quite bizarre and I found it interesting (mainly because I'm from Louisville, Kentucky, and my house is quite close to the line between my county and Oldham County). I also wasn't sure if collar bombs were just a fictional piece of technology or if they have actually been used before. Either way, this one was fake and was only used to manipulate the victim and her family.
