(NASHVILLE, Tenn.) — The suspect in Christmas morning’s Nashville RV explosion was identified after investigators matched tissue found at the blast to DNA from gloves and a hat inside a car the suspect owned, an official said.
Suspected bomber Anthony Quinn Warner, 63, of Antioch, Tennessee, died in the blast.
“He was not on our radar,” Tennessee Bureau of Investigation Director David Rausch said Monday.
The TBI said Warner’s only arrest in Tennessee was in 1978 for marijuana possession in Nashville.
