On the morning of August 2nd, 2008, 69-year-old retired electrician Bill Walker found a battery charger by his house. He carried it into his shop and plugged it in. The charger, which had a pipe bomb hidden inside, exploded. Bill Walker was pronounced dead at the scene...

Less than 24 hours later, 53-year-old Javier Adame's girlfriend found a police scanner outside Adame's home. Adame carried it into the house, plugged it in, and suffered the same fate as Bill Walker.

Investigators determined after careful examination that these two cases so close both in time and proximity to each other were definitely not a coincidence.

For more than a day, the plastic orange toolbox sat on the lawn under a cherry tree, a few paces from the sidewalk... Ivan Velasco Rodriguez poked the toolbox with a wooden rake handle.

The pipe bomb lurking inside exploded. Metal shards flying at bullet speed fatally injured Velasco Rodriguez and slammed into surrounding homes. Pieces fell on roofs two blocks away...

But behind the scenes, federal law enforcement sources say, investigators reached a chilling conclusion: A Mexican drug cartel most likely commissioned the bomb to kill a witness who once listed the address as his own. Their suspicions deepened when they discovered the bombing was eerily similar to twin explosions in central Washington, where rigged devices killed two men hours apart in 2008...

ATF technicians soon established that the bombs that killed Walker and Adame were nearly identical. Given Adame's history, investigators concluded he was the intended target of the scanner [and] Walker was the victim of mistaken identity.
