A grandfather blown to bits by a pipe bomb may have been the victim of a family member, shocking new evidence uncovered by The National ENQUIRER reveals.
The bomb killed William Walker, 68, in his garage in Fort Moses, Wash., in 2008.
Just 10 hours later, and a few miles away, a similar bomb killed Javier Adame, 53.
“The same person constructed both bombs,” said Grant County Undersheriff John Turley. “They were sophisticated.” The bomb that killed William was hidden in a battery charger, while the other was disguised as a police radio. Detectives have obtained DNA samples from three unnamed male relatives of William, and hope to find a match with DNA taken from the bomb materials.
All three relatives were attending a family gathering hosted by William when the bomb exploded.
The ENQUIRER has also learned that one of the men – a cousin of William’s – failed two separate polygraph tests.
This relative had borrowed the battery charger housing the bomb that killed William, and knew Javier through the local drug trade, sources said.
William’s granddaughter, Victoria Otto, told The ENQUIRER: “I don’t think a family member (did) it, but we do think one of them may have been indirectly involved.”
