1. That didn't take long...

My assumption is that from the moment I leave my house, I’m on camera. I am certain that I can be traced continuously if TPTB wanted to with almost no effort. A vehicle like this stands out on cameras of all types. They probably know it’s exact route to the site.

[PJMcK]

4. Did you ever see the movie "Eagle Eye"?

In the story, there's a secret government super-duper computer that can tap into all of our electronics and surveillance cameras to manipulate the plot and characters. It's quite good with terrific twists and turns in the story.

After seeing this 2008 thriller (starring a normal Shia LeBouef), I've always felt as you describe: We're all being photographed all the time. Most public spaces and many private ones have cameras and other equipment to keep guard. Little by little, we've sacrificed our privacy.

[Clash City Rocker]

16. That's completely unbelievable and unrealistic

Not the supercomputer part, the Shia LaBeouf being normal part.

[PJMcK]

17. Hah!

Good one.

[BamaRefugee]

26. hahahahahahahahaha

[DeminPennswoods]

7. Agree

nt

[Renew Deal]

10. The NSA has their tools that constantly monitor

The deal is that they are only supposed to look when necessary. That’s how they roll up these investigations so quickly.

[bronxiteforever]

14. +1 exactly. You are tracked everywhere.

By enormous computing power that resides in both private industry and in government services(like traffic cameras). It is a simple fact of 2020 life.

[Mike 03]

18. Depending on the motive, some of these types of individuals really do

want credit for what they've done and they foreshadow it on social media somewhere. I'm beginning to think the "shots fired" was so that somebody could see and appreciate their work before the bomb exploded. "Hey, somebody come and see what I've done before this baby blows."

Also, we have the rumor about human remains possibly being discovered. There's the possibility that this was a grandiose suicide. Let's see, too, if the person/s responsible left a "manifesto".

[PCIntern]

19. Or it's someone they kidnapped and left in the RV.

The point is, until we know, we don’t know.

[Mike 03]

21. I thought of that too. A murder masquerading as a suicide.

Interesting.

Of course we don't know, but we're speculating anyway.

[rso]

24. Shots fired

I think the shots fired call was so the police would show up and thus to ascertain that there was someone at the scene to hear the recording warning of the explosion.

[58Sunliner]

38. One woman who called was on Anderson Cooper. I don't know if more than one person called.

She said the shots woke her up. She said there were three sets of shots, or what sounded like gunfire. After the second set, she called police. Otherwise she would not have heard the recording of the bomb countdown.

[Progressive dog]

30. Cities do hve a lot of security cameras

and a lot of witnesses too.

[George II]

33. I've read that just going shopping a few miles from home someone shows up a couple of dozens...

...of times on cameras.

Plus they now have cell phone data. I'm sure it didn't take long to track these people down.

[LudwigPastorius]

47. There are also VINs and other numbers all over the RV.

It would be an extremely thorough undertaking to completely file down and eliminate all the identifying numbers on all the parts in that vehicle.

The cops/FBI probably had a complete history of who had bought and sold that thing by the end of the day.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

2. Remember Richard Jewell.

Also, "person of interest" means nothing.

[Nevilledog]

9. Early congrats on your next post!

[Baclava]

3. or its just a trick to flush them out...

[underpants]

5. Excellent

👍

[KWR65]

6. I hope this doesn't turn out to be another Richard Jewel Case.

20. 1996 was a technological Stone Age compared to 2020.

Literally over a generation ago. LE has so many big data tools now. Just look at how they caught the Golden State Killer from DNA. He was traced from a remote cousin using a genetic database.

[Takket]

8. what does "have" mean?

that they have named someone, or they have someone in custody?

[WhiskeyGrinder]

13. It's a handy way to make it look like progress is being made.

[Mike 03]

22. "Have" pieces of him in the wreckage.

Seriously, I don't know what it means, but there are stories of 'human remains' possibly being found (i.e., a grandiose suicide).

[Mike 03]

25. This article claims "in custody"

[getagrip_already]

29. name not released....

I guess they have some social media sites to scrub first. It always seems they cover up the backgrounds of the right wing terrorists before they release any info.

12. I thought the picture of the RV might produce a close-up image of the driver good enough

to make an ID, especially if they can get any serial numbers from the remains of the RV. Given the recent threats by white supremacist groups to attack power grids in the south, that's what my bet would be on.

[getagrip_already]

31. rv was probably stolen......

nobody would be that dumb after the ok bombing suspects were nabbed trying to get their truck rental deposit back. And with al the mask restrictions, their face was likely covered.

But they could still be tracked through the city, coming and going.

[Tommymac]

34. The Police literally walked around the RV for at least 10 minutes b4 it went POW

I'm sure they got a lot of pictures and other physical evidence.

[dalton99a]

15. Police were called to the location an hour before the explosion and six officers responded

It's reasonable to assume one of them looked at the license plate

[bluedigger]

27. Switching license plates isn't exactly a new trick.

Identifying the make and model of the vehicle from the photos and/or debris will be a good start in tracing ownership. Using an RV instead of a box truck or van probably wasn't a great way to obscure their identity. Production runs of RVs are considerably lower than commercial trucks. Much lower number of leads to follow.

[getagrip_already]

32. but likely stolen in any event..... n/t

[Tommymac]

36. Hard to replace/destroy the VIN numbers in various locations

They had plenty of time to gather visual and other evidence b4 it blew up. They literally were walking around it.

They know who made the fucking thing, when it was made, the last oil change, and who rented and drove it. Count on it.

[ProfessorGAC]

39. I'm With You

In the OKC bombing, they found the truck VIN on both the axle & the differential casing.
That's a minimum of three places where the vin is etched. I couldn't even guess how many more parts are stamped with it!
In OKC, they had the truck VIN in 30 hours. And, that was clearly a bigger bomb than this one.

[elephant hunter]

28. Excellent thought, however...

... were I intent on blowing up something with a vehicle one of the last things on my checklist as I abandoned the vehicle would be to remove the tags.

[mr_lebowski]

42. Anyone w/half a brain would steal plates esp. how easy that is to do (nt)

[NCjack]

23. Undercover LEO?

[wnylib]

45. Are you suggesting that an undercover

LEO was discovered by whomever he/she was investigating and then murdered in the RV explosion?

[CaptainTruth]

35. Good! Is TN a state where a vehicle seller just "signs over" the title?

I sold a couple vehicles in CA & IIRC I just had to fill out the back of the title, "signing it over" to the buyer, & hand it to them. It was then the buyer's responsibility to take it to the DMV & have the title transferred into their name. The license plates stay with the vehicle.

I always thought that if someone wanted to commit a crime with a vehicle they could buy a cheap one with cash using a fake name & address (a private seller isn't going to verify it), take the title in hand, but just not go to the DMV & have it transferred. Destroy the title, commit the crime, & abandon the vehicle. There would not be any official record of the new owner/buyer anywhere.

[malaise]

37. Update on now on CNN and M$NBComcast n/t

[Traildogbob]

40. Persons of interest?

That should have been trumpets immediately.
My embarrassing dad, living in Georgia, who is NOT a racist, cause he knows a few, immediately drew the conclusion it was BLM trying to kill police.
He at least now has left the trump bandwagon because of Covid, but claims he did some good early on. I tried to explain the importance of the Georgia election, and he says we can never have one party with all the power. I told him McConnell has had all the power the last 10 years, 2 years after Obama lost senate in midterms. He said, I don’t know who that is, don’t wanna get that deep in it. Has no idea how bills are passed and the 4 branches.
Said he saw the black preacher on TV saying he hates America, also says Ossoff looks gay. So this is what we are banking our country’s democracy on. Georgia.
He lives on $1,000 a month SS, Medicare and Medicare. Hates Socialism.
He believes Polosi is stopping payment help and Trump paid for the $1200 first check.
God is blessing Murrkkka.
My youngest brother, he and his wife adopted a mixed race baby 15 years ago. Black and white, yet he is strict republican born again, and IS racist. Supports white every KKKlan. Lies about massive income from his cabinet business to get extremely cheap Obama care, he and wife have serious pre-existing. Hates Obama, and lied to get $30,000 small business loan. Bought a new truck.
Long story close, I loved staying home in WNC without family. I did miss my daughter that worked 3 straight 12 hour night shifts in ICU in Asheville hospital. Wednesday, Thursday and Christmas night. Risked herself to get there with treacherous roads and temps.
Anyway, happy Holidays to all at DU and may Science bless and protect you.
We can’t choose family, but the pandemic gives me. Reason not to deal with them in person.

[Traildogbob]

41. I apologize.

I got way off tract there. After giving HIS persons of interest idea, I left the tracts.

44. Police examining home in Antioch

https://www.tennessean.com/story/news/crime/2020/12/26/nashville-explosion-downtown-rv-christmas-things-to-know/4046727001/

A person of interest has been identified in connection with the Christmas day explosion in Nashville, a law enforcement source confirmed Saturday. No arrests have been made.

Authorities with the FBI, ATF and the Metro Nashville Police Department converged in the 100 block of Bakertown Road in Antioch just after noon on Saturday.

“Information developed during the course of the investigation led us to this address,” said Darrell DeBusk, an FBI public affairs officer.

Details of motives are not known. Officials declined to comment on the activity in Antioch and the person of interest during an afternoon briefing.

"I am fairly confident we'll be able to identify an individual or ascertain what has occurred. We've just been taking some time," said Douglas Korneski, special agent in charge of the Memphis Field Office.

[bronxiteforever]

48. +1 thanks for posting!

[vlyons]

46. Just shows how completely stupid are the bombers.

Obviously didn't learn that Timothy McVeigh was caught, when the FBI traced the vin # on the rear axle. Vehicles today have several vin numbers. There's 1 on the car dash, one on the engine, one on each axle, probably 1 on the air conditioner, and who knows where else.

[LeftInTX]

55. There is a possiblity he was in the RV and is dead

Therefore, he probably wouldn't care....

[Hestia]

59. Open up driver's door and look on the panel - handy dandy sticker with all that info

[superpatriotman]

49. Here's the name:

Authorities identified Anthony Quinn Warner, 63, as a person of interest and were searching a home associated with him.

https://heavy.com/news/anthony-quinn-warner/

[LeftInTX]

50. Because of his age, don't think he's QAnon or Proud Boys...if that's him

[bronxiteforever]

51. From the article Google maps of his property show an RV that may match the photo

?quality=65&strip=all&w=780

Left, an RV pictured on Google Maps on a property linked to Anthony Quinn Warner in online records. Right, the RV of the Nashville bomber as released by Metro Nashville Police.

[eleny]

56. If he used his own or a family member's rv....

[Strelnikov_]

54. Could be the perp

Could be a Combo's mom situation.

[occupant]

57. I know you are here

I hate that the minute I walk into a krogers or Kohls store , they know i am there. My iphone tells me so.

[rockfordfile]

60. What are you talking about?

[scipan]

58. More info:

The Sparrow Project (@sparrowmedia) Tweeted:
Anthony Quinn Warner, a Nashville area resident has been named as a person of interest. FBI raiding a home where Warner may have parked his RV.

There is no additional information regarding the motives or links to Millerite groups like the one above.
