MOSES LAKE - A woman's body was located at a house on Stratford Road in Moses Lake, where a man was killed by a pipe bomb last summer.

The sheriff's office called her death suspicious and requested the aid of the Washington State Patrol Crime Lab to assist in gathering evidence on Wednesday, according to Grant County Undersheriff John Turley.

Javier Martinez Adame, 53, Moses, died Aug. 3 from a suspected pipe bomb in the kitchen of the home, located just north of the Moses Lake city boundary.

The day before Adame's death, a pipe bomb killed a second man at his home in Moses Lake, 69-year-old William A. Walker.

The U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) and the U.S. Department of Justices are assisting in the investigation of the pipe bomb deaths.
