Aliso Viejo is a leafy green wedge of the suburban sprawl that makes up southern California’s mythic Orange County.
Not a lot happens in Aliso Viejo. And the people that live there prefer that.
Except on May 15th, 2018, just past 1:00 p.m., something did happen. Something big.
An explosion on Mareblu Street.
A two-story commercial building was severely damaged.
Idilko Krajnyak, owner of a day spa in the building, was killed in the explosion. Two of her clients were injured.
Had a gas leak inside the building caused the explosion?
Could it have been a terror attack?
Or was it something more personal?
