SANTA ANA, Calif. (KABC) -- Federal prosecutors have dropped
criminal charges against the ex-boyfriend of the woman killed in
an Aliso Viejo explosion.
Stephen Beal, 59, was arrested May 16, one day after the explosion
that killed his business partner and former girlfriend,
48-year-old Ildiko Krajnyak, at her business.
Beal, a model rocket hobbyist, was charged with possession of an
unregistered destructive device after investigators said they
found two improvised explosive devices, three firearms and more
than 100 pounds of explosive material in his house. He was never
named as a suspect in the blast.
In a weekend court filing, prosecutors said it's now unclear if
items found at Beal's Long Beach home can be considered
destructive devices under the law. Prosecutors asked the court to
drop the charge.

Beal had been jailed without bail and was released early Sunday
after a judge approved dismissing a single charge a day earlier.
