Ex-boyfriend of blast victim arrested on bomb charge
SANTA ANA, Calif. — Spa owner Ildiko Krajnyak was opening a package that had piled up with mail during her recent trip to her native Hungary when it exploded, shaking the building.
Parts of Krajnyak were blown out the windows into a parking lot Tuesday afternoon.
News reports quickly reached Stephen Beal, her ex-boyfriend and a partner in the Southern California business.
At the urging of his new girlfriend, Beal phoned police and then let them search his house. They found more than 100 pounds (45 kilograms) of explosive material and charged him Thursday with possessing an unregistered destructive device.
