Appears it's a 5G cuckoo who thought it was going to be used for nefarious reasons, so not only a suicide, but tried to take out AT&T as well.

Report: Police Have Person or Persons of Interest Connected to Nashville Christmas Day Explosion

Authorities have a person or persons of interest in connection to the Christmas Day explosion that rocked the city, CBS News reported on Saturday.

“CBS News has learned that police have a person of interest or persons of interest in connection with the explosion that rocked Nashville on Christmas Day, Jeffpeguescbs reports,” the outlet reported in a Saturday afternoon update, with CBS’s Jeff Pegues reporting Nashville area resident Anthony Quinn Warner, who reportedly “had a similar make and model RV,” as the person of interest:

CNN also reports: “Investigators looking into the Christmas morning explosion in Nashville now believe the blast was likely the result of a suicide bombing, according to two law enforcement sources with direct knowledge of the investigation.”

Six officers have been recognized by the Metro Police after swiftly evacuating residents prior to an RV exploding on an empty street in downtown Nashville early Christmas morning. According to Nashville Police Chief John Drake, police were originally responding to a call of shots fired in the area before hearing a warning from a loudspeaker, urging people to evacuate the area because of a potential bomb.

“This morning, around 5:30 a.m., officers responded to a call for shots fired in the downtown area, specifically 2nd and near Commerce. As officers responded, they encountered an RV that had a recording saying that a potential bomb would detonate within 15 minutes,” Drake said in a Friday update, noting that officers knocked on doors, made announcements, and evacuated nearby buildings.

“Shortly after that, the RV exploded,” he said. “We had one officer that was knocked to the ground. Another officer is fine.”

The explosion appeared to be intentional but “meant to limit casualties,” as Breitbart News reported. According to the Associated Press, authorities found human remains in the area of the explosion, which damaged dozens of businesses.

Nashville Mayor John Cooper signed an executive order Friday, issuing a state of civil emergency for the area “bounded by James Robertson Parkway, 4th Ave north, Broadway and the Cumberland River.”

“A curfew will start at 4:30pm, Friday Dec 25. and be lifted Sunday, December 27 at 4:30pm,” he announced:

Update: Law enforcement sources told CBS News that the suspect “may have been killed in the explosion.” Human remains found at the scene are being tested to determine if they belong to the suspect.

Looks like it nailed a larger portion of AT&T at the time than I was aware about. I use them and didn't experience any related issues.

Nashville Christmas Bombing Shut Down ATT Network for Hundreds of Miles, 911 Centers Disrupted, Internet Service, Affected Apps in Georgia

Emergency services Friday responded to a massive explosion in downtown Nashville on Christmas morning.

The explosive was inside of an RV parked on 2nd Avenue in downtown Nashville.

The RV arrived on 2nd Ave at 1:22 AM, police said.

According to eyewitnesses and law enforcement that arrived on the scene, an audio warning was broadcast from the RV ahead of the explosion.

The warning went on for 30 minutes before a “countdown” began right before the massive explosion.

Following the still unexplained explosion, Tennessee’s governor noted the Nashville explosion affected over 20 local 911 call centers, residential phone lines and cell service.

Flights were delayed out of Nashville.

Scumbag is identified. The only hope I have left is that he meant to get out but something went wrong, and he accidentally blew himself up.

Anthony Quinn Warner, person of interest in Nashville bombing, was longtime resident with electronics expertise

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Anthony Quinn Warner is the person of interest investigators have linked with the Christmas day explosion in Nashville, police chief John Drake confirmed Sunday.

Warner, 63, is a longtime Nashvillian who held several IT jobs throughout his life. Federal authorities are scouring the city for evidence on Warner.

Public records show he had extensive experience with electronics and alarm systems. He recently worked as an independent computer technician with the real estate firm Fridrich & Clark.

Federal agents searched his home in Antioch, Tennessee, and the Fridrich & Clark real estate office in Nashville Saturday.

Google Street View images of Warner's home show a white RV parked behind a wooden fence on the property.

A similar RV was at the center of the Friday morning blast on Second Avenue in downtown Nashville. His neighbors reported seeing the RV at the home for years.

Police said the explosion came from the RV soon after a speaker system broadcast an urgent warning to evacuate the area. Authorities have not identified whose human tissue was found Friday at the blast site, Darrell DeBusk, a public affairs office for the FBI, said Sunday afternoon. He could not provide a time estimate on when the results would be available.

“It depends on the lab and the evidence," DeBusk told The Tennessean, part of the USA TODAY Network. “This case is receiving priority.”

Police in the area moments before the blast said the speakers also played the wistful 1963 song "Downtown" by Petula Clark. The lyric, about going to the city to seek refuge from sadness, echoed down Second Avenue just before the blast: "The lights are much brighter there."

Warner blew himself up in the RV. A quite odd thing to do. -------------> https://www.tennessean.com/story/news/crime/2020/12/27/nashville-explosion-questions-remain-investigation-enters-day-3/4050488001/

So weird. It took forever to make a bomb that size. Long time to contemplate suicide. Then the CA 23 year old that got about $400k in property. What's that about?

Really weirdest thing is that he never seemed to have popped up on law enforcement radar with however long it took to gather materials and carry out the plan.

Not really. I never discuss either with neighbors or co-workers.

Same here, never do. Never know who supports what or believes in what, and I let them keep it private, as do I.

I'm thinking his plan was to take down the entire building, or so he thought.

A guy having a suicidal grudge isn't all that surprising, especially at the end of 2020. But yeah, the house deal and who he left it to is quite odd and I'm surely gonna follow that and see if more comes of it. And spending holidays in the woods with his dog?

Here's some more on that I found:

Nashville 'bomber', 63, told LA mother, 29, he planned to spend Christmas 'in the woods with his dogs' and warned basement of home he gave her for free was 'not normal'


Police identified Anthony Quinn Warner, 63, as a person of interest in the Christmas explosion in Nashville
Warner is believed to have died when his RV blew up outside an AT&T building
FBI agents raided Warner's home in Antioch, Tennessee, on Saturday morning
DailyMail.com revealed that Warner gave the $160,000 home away for free to 29-year-old Michelle Swing of Los Angeles last month
Swing claims she had no idea Warner signed the home over to her
But a new report claims that Warner informed Swing of the transfer in a letter
'The attic has plywood and lighting, take a look. The basement is not normal, take a look. Woof woof Julio,' the letter stated, according to The Sun
In the letter Warner also shared plans to travel on Christmas Eve 'to spend a few weeks in the woods with his dogs'


A letter allegedly sent by the suspect in the Nashville Christmas Day bombing to a woman he transferred ownership of his house to has been revealed.

Police on Sunday confirmed that Anthony Quinn Warner, 63, is a person of interest in the investigation launched when an RV exploded outside Nashville's AT&T building on Friday morning, leaving three people injured and dozens of structures damaged.

FBI agents were seen raiding Warner's home in Antioch on Saturday as DailyMail.com exclusively revealed that he had given the property away for free to 29-year-old Michelle Swing of Los Angeles in a quitclaim deed dated November 25.

Swing told DailyMail.com that she was unaware that Warner, a self-employed IT contractor, had signed the $160,000 home over to her.

But a new report claims that Warner informed Swing of the transfer in a letter last month, writing: 'The attic has plywood and lighting, take a look. The basement is not normal, take a look. Woof woof Julio.'

In the letter Warner also shared that he 'intended to travel on Christmas Eve to spend a few weeks in the woods with his dogs', according to The Sun.

Warner is believed to have died in the explosion in downtown Nashville after investigators uncovered human remains near the blast site.

Speaking to DailyMail.com, Swing declined to disclose whether she had ever met Warner or if she had any family links to him, saying: 'I've been told to direct everything else to FBI.'

The Sun reported that police believe Warner may have had a relationship with Swing's mother.

The outlet said Swing told investigators that she last spoke to Warner a week before Thanksgiving and that she had never met him in person.

Speculation over Swing's links to Warner followed reports claiming that the FBI is investigating whether he may have been motivated by a paranoid belief that Americans are being spied on with 5G technology.

Nashville Mayor John Cooper on Sunday said he suspects that the AT&T transmission center was intentionally targeted in the attack.

One man whose business was destroyed in the blast told WZTV he'd spotted a similar RV parked in the area multiple times in the past few weeks, suggesting that Warner may have 'staked out' the site.

Several neighbors of Warner's home on Bakertown Road in Antioch described him as an 'oddball' who posted 'No Trespassing' signs around the property and was often seen tinkering with a TV antenna on the house.

They also said he had an RV matching the one used in the attack parked on the property, as seen in Google street-view images from last year.

The FBI was said to have received two tips concerning Warner prior to the explosion, including one from a person who reported that he was making bombs in his RV in August 2019.

Adding to the mystery over Warner was the revelation that he had transferred his Antioch home to Swing late last month via a quitclaim deed.

Swing, who lives in Los Angeles, insisted that she was unaware of the transfer and her signature does not appear on the deed dated November 25.

'In the state of Tennessee you can deed property to someone else without their consent or their signature or anything,' Swing explained to DailyMail.com on Saturday.

'I didn't even buy the house he just deeded it over to me without my knowledge.

'This all very weird to me, that's about all I can say.'

Records show Warner also transferred another home on Bakertown Road to Swing via a quitclaim deed in January 2019.

The $249,000 house had previously belonged to a member of his family and Warner had only been in possession of it for five months before again giving it to Swing for free. She later also used a quitclaim to give the house to another person

The house was originally owned by Warner's father Charles but was passed to Warner's brother Steve after Charles' death in 2011.

Steve died of cancer in September 2018, a month after Warner acquired the house.

Court records show Warner's mother Chris tried to stop the transfer of the second home last year after accusing her son of acting in his own interest as Steve's power-of-attorney before his death, according to the Tennessean. Chris later dropped the case against her son.

Great, just what we need to send off 2020, psycho copycats. :rolleyes:

** OT, what's with you and the Tennessean lately? Good to see input and legit links, just curious how the hell you came onto them?

Great, just what we need to send off 2020, psycho copycats. :rolleyes: ** OT, what's with you and the Tennessean lately? Good to see input and legit links, just curious how the hell you came onto them? When I was in college, I took an ethics class as well as a political science class. Both instructors believed there was too much reliance on "third hand news." That being distilled or distorted news typical found on facebook and other social media. Or news that is packaged for a national audience. They recommended going to the source for the most complete coverage. If something happens in Nashville, go to newspapers and TV stations in Nashville. I have a list of world newspapers on my laptop -------> https://www.refdesk.com/paper.html -----> as well as a newspaper translation site -----------> https://newspapermap.com/ -------------> I also have compiled a list of alternative sources. Links to news sources for North Korea, several Arab countries, terrorist mouthpieces, etc. ----------> The more you know, the more informed you are.
