The individual responsible for the car bomb that exploded in downtown Nashville on Christmas day died in the explosion, FBI officials announced Sunday.
According to an announcement from FBI Memphis Special Agent Jason Pack, investigators analyzed human remains recovered from the scene of the blast site and identified Anthony Quinn Warner, 63, of Antioch, Tenn.
“A key break in the investigation occurred when the Tennessee Highway Patrol was able to locate and recover the VIN (vehicle identification number) from the suspect’s van,” the release stated. “That information, along with crucial tips from the public, led to the home of the suspect in Antioch.”
