The house in Antioch, Tennessee, searched by police after the Christmas Day explosion in Nashville, belonged to a man named Anthony Quinn Warner, according to several reports.
Warner is considered a suspect in the Nashville attack, Newsweek reported.
CBS News reported that Warner was identified as a person of interest in this case.
”A LexisNexis report, obtained by Newsweek, shows Warner’s address as 3724 Bakerton Road, Nashville, the same local authorities began searching on Saturday. Warner was born in January 1957 and is 63 years old, the report states. “Allpeople.com, a free online business directory, has Warner linked to Custom Alarms Electronics, a company located at 3724 Bakerton Road.”
Here is complete coverage of the Nashville explosion.
Investigators from the FBI, ATF and Nashville Metro Police Department converged on block 100 on Bakertown Road in Antioquia, just before 11 am on Saturday, The Tennessean reported.
“No one was inside the house, according to FBI special agent Jason Pack, who said the agency’s evidence-response team entered the house around 2:30 pm for a court-approved search,” the report said. “The neighbors told The Tennessean that a trailer similar to the explosion had been parked at the house for the past two weeks.”
“NewsChannel 5 Investigates discovered just a few weeks ago – (Warner) signed his longtime home contract with a 29-year-old woman who lives in California,” said another report.
The Daily Mail reported that Warner gave Michelle Swing, a 29-year-old woman who lives in Los Angeles, a $ 160,000 woman home in November for free.
“I didn’t even buy the house, he just passed it on to me without my knowledge. So, all of this is very strange for me, is all I can say, ”said Swing to the Daily Mail.
“However, Warner also (transferred) another home on Bakertown Road to Swing through a withdrawal action last year,” the report said.
“According to a document posted online, on November 25 he assigned the property to a woman in Los Angeles at no cost to her. The document was signed by Warner, but not by the woman, ”reported Reuters.
ABC News also reported that other investigators are working with behavioral analysts to help them understand what led someone to commit the “intentional act” of blowing up the trailer.
“Marco Rodriguez lives in the same building as Warner. He said around 10 am on Saturday, federal agents told him to evacuate, ”reported WTVF. “They came in and told us to leave if there was a bomb or something,” said Rodriguez in that report.
The attack, which damaged an AT&T building, continued to wreak havoc on cell phone service and police and hospital communications in several southern states on Saturday.
The explosion injured three people and Metro Nashville police chief John Drake said “we found tissue that we believe could be remains, but we will examine it and let you know at that time.” The police could not say whether it potentially came from someone inside the trailer.
The bombing continues to cause disruptions to telephone and internet services in parts of Alabama.
