In San Francisco's Sunset District, 22nd Avenue was still closed to car traffic Monday evening and an officer was keeping watch over the scene of a horrific explosion.
Neighbors identified a man in a Facebook photo as the suspect who lived in the home where investigators found an illegal drug lab in the wreckage. Police said 53-year-old Darron Price faces felony charges of manslaughter, manufacturing drugs and two counts of child endangerment.
A police source confirmed the victim is the suspect's wife. Her caretaker was badly burned. She was apparently doing laundry and started the dryer, moments before the blast. "The butane lighters, if you think about how they operate, they're designed to ignite immediately," said retired FBI agent Jeff Harp."They're very volatile, and so if you're using those types of chemicals in an atmosphere or in an area where you have say a dryer that has an ignition source, you got a recipe for disaster.
