FBI agents working on the Nashville Christmas bombing are asking whether Anthony Quinn Warner – a local computer expert named as a “person of interest” – was paranoid about 5G technology, according to a report.
Agents are investigating whether Warner, 63, feared that 5G technology was being used to spy on Americans, a source close to the investigation told NBC News affiliate in Nashville.
Otherwise, there was no arrest or motive revealed in the attack earlier on Sunday.
In another line of the case, investigators are investigating Warner’s connection to a 29-year-old Los Angeles brunette named Michelle Swing.
Warner signed the deed for his $ 160,000 home in Nashville’s suburb of Swing for free last month, according to county property records found by the Post.
Swing cited the ongoing FBI investigation by refusing to speak to The Post about the gift on Saturday, but she told the Daily Mail that the transfer took place “without my knowledge”.
She declined to describe her relationship with Warner.
Later on Saturday night, Mail reported that property records show that Warner transferred another home to the mysterious woman – again without money.
This property was on the same street as the first and was valued at $ 249,000, the Mail reported.
Warner’s possible fears about 5G technology were also confirmed by a Nashville realtor who told NBC he called the FBI on Saturday after seeing the name of the person interested in the news.
The realtor, Steve Fridrich, approached the investigators after realizing that he hired a “Tony Warner” to do IT work for him in recent years – and later this month.
The FBI agent he spoke to asked whether Warner was paranoid about 5G technology, Fridrich told NBC. Fridrich said he told agents that Warner never mentioned being afraid of 5G.
“Nice guy. You know, he was a technical guy – I don’t want to say anything negative about it,” Fridrich told NBC.
“He would do that and leave. He didn’t bother anyone. He did what he wanted and left, ”said Fridrich.
The last time Warner helped him with an Internet problem, earlier this month, he talked about his taste for camping, Fridrich told the network.
The white recreational vehicle that Warner kept in his backyard in the suburb of Nashville bears a striking resemblance to the explosive-laden trailer that exploded on Christmas morning outside the downtown AT&T building.
There was no sign of Warner or his trailer on Saturday, as investigators spent Saturday searching his property; Meanwhile, sources told CNN and ABC News that investigators believe the explosion may have been the work of a suicide bomber.
Human remains recovered at the bomb site are still being tested for DNA.
The agents intend to check Warner’s mother to determine if he is compatible, Newsweek said.
