An early morning explosion that prompted numerous 911 calls led to the recovery of improvised explosive devices on Tuesday, said Yreka Police Department Lt. Chris Betts.

“Baking is an extension of love,” said Crumbs Bakery owner Melanie Duncan. To show her love and support for Jessica and Jake Woodruff – the Yreka couple killed by a redwood tree that fell on their car while driving on Highway 199 last month – Duncan created an online dessert auction to benefit the five children they left behind.
Duncan was a co-worker of Jessica’s, and she graduated from Yreka High School in 2003 alongside Jake. So she was devastated to learn of their sudden and unexpected deaths on March 25.
“I know the family well, and I love the family,” Duncan said. “I really wanted to do something to help.”
