A 59-year-old Long Beach man has been arrested in connection with a fatal blast at an Aliso Viejo day spa that claimed the life of his ex-girlfriend and business partner last year, authorities said.
Stephen Beal, was taken into custody without incident Sunday morning, according to Laura Eimiller, a spokeswoman for the FBI’s Los Angeles field office. The FBI and U.S. attorney’s office are expected to hold a news conference to discuss the arrest and possible new charges on Monday morning, Eimiller said.Beal had been a person of interest since a cardboard package exploded at the Magyar Kozmetika spa on May 15, 2018, killing 48-year-old Ildiko Krajnyak.
Federal investigators immediately locked onto Beal, who had begun dating Krajnyak in 2016. The two went on several international vacations before going into business together and opening the day spa, but the relationship collapsed two or three months before the explosion. During a search of Beal’s Long Beach home last May, federal investigators said they found two complete improvised explosive devices, two cardboard tubes, batteries, a 9-volt battery connector, 130 pounds of explosives and precursors, two handguns and a shotgun.
