(CNN) After a package bomb killed a California day spa owner last May, investigators arrested her business partner and ex-boyfriend Stephen Beal and accused him of possessing an unregistered destructive device. The charge was dropped two weeks later. The powerful package bomb blew out the windows and walls of the Magyar Kozmetika day spa in Aliso Viejo, California, Hanna said in a press conference on Monday. Ildiko Krajnyak, the spa's owner, was killed in the blast after opening a cardboard box, and two customers were seriously injured, Hanna said. Beal is charged with malicious destruction of a building resulting in death, a federal charge that has the possibility of life in prison without parole.
