Nashville Police have swarmed the property of a 63-year-old man they named a person of interest in the Christmas bombing that hardly hit the city’s historic 2nd Avenue leaving three people injured and huge damage to surrounding buildings.
Local news outlets identified the suspected bomber as Anthony Quinn Warner.
The FBI and local detectives received more than 500 tips linking him to the RV that exploded Friday morning outside an AT&T building.
Neighbors of the Antioch residents recognized the white recreational vehicle that was constantly parked outside Warner’s home, surrounded by “No Trespassing” signs.
“Nice guy. You know, he was a techie guy – don’t mean anything negative about that. He would do this thing and leave. He didn’t bother anybody. He did his thing and leave,” a client of the self-employed technician recalled.
Other neighbors claimed that Warner would hold an antenna and tinker around the roof. He was an “unmarried oddball” that placed the “No Trespassing” around his home.
FBI agents revealed that human remains were found at the bombing site and are working to identify if they belonged to the bomber.
They also questioned a 29-year-old mom-of-2 in California after finding out that Warner donated her two homes for free, one of them a day before the suicide-bombing.
“I didn’t even buy the house he just deeded it over to me without my knowledge. So this all very weird to me, that’s about all I can say.”
Both properties belonged to Warner after the deaths of his dad and brother. Their total value is estimated at $409,000.
