NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) â She turned in the Christmas Day bomber - not once, but twice. Despite that, Pam Perry has not received any of the reward money offered to help solve the crime.
Instead, the $34,500 raised by the Nashville Convention and Visitors Corporation went to law enforcement agencies, including the Metro Police Department, which some say failed to fully investigate Perry s tip about the bomber from 2019.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. â The man who blew himself up in a Christmas Day bombing in downtown Nashville was grappling with feelings of paranoia and eccentric conspiracy theories before the explosion but did not appear to be motivated by political ideology.
That s according to an FBI report issued Monday, which stated the suicide bomber identified as Anthony Warner s actions have been determined not to be related to terrorism.
The FBI said a significant portion of the investigation into the Second Avenue explosion has been completed. More than 3,000 pounds of evidence was recovered from the blast site, where dozens of buildings sustained significant damage.
Nashville Suicide Bomber s Lizard-People Conspiracy Uncovered As Investigators Seek Motive
02/24/21 AT 4:19 PM
As police investigate the car bomb that rocked Nashville on Christmas, they have discovered that the suicide bomber was steeped in outlandish conspiracy theories. Anthony Warner’s acquaintances tell The New York Times he followed fantastical conspiracies well before a cancer diagnosis sent him spiraling toward disaster.
No, he wasn t diving into the theories of QAnon or pizzagate. Warner supposedly believed humanity had been infiltrated by shape-shifting extraterrestrial lizard people, going out on camping trips to Montgomery Bell Park with infrared equipment to detect them.
He told Crystal Deck, a friend of his, that his obsession had begun with Sept. 11. Warner believed it to be an inside job, not a terrorist attack.

Prior to his death, the man who detonated a Christmas Day bomb in downtown Nashville had sent out materials about his views to people he knew, federal investigators said Saturday.
In a statement to The Associated Press, FBI Special Agent Jason Pack said authorities are “aware the suspect sent materials which espoused his viewpoints to several acquaintances throughout the country.”
Nashville Police Chief John Drake is defending his department after it was revealed that officers went to Warner's home repeatedly to check out the woman's tip, but couldn't contact him and never got inside the RV.
