when it exploded. Signing his house over for nothing seems to support that supposition.

But I will wait for the authorities to tell me.

Was he a loner, or was he associated with a larger group of people. If he was associated with a group, what role did that group’s members play in the bombing, if any?

He waited for them to clear the scene of innocents and triggered the bomb. You don't often see a suicide bomber attacking infrastructure, but it sure looks like that's what this was.

I'd have just fired off a few rounds on the spot rather than prerecording them. Different method, same intent.

1. human remains found in wreckage
2. No BOLO
3. Not telling the public to be alert, look for this guy, or call the police if you see him
4. They quietly searched his residence today, without SWAT or fanfare
5. They have said there is no further danger, a very risky thing to say if your perp is still alive (unless he's in custody)

Anthony Quinn Warner, 63, signed the property away via a quitclaim deed to Lisa Swing, a 29-year-old woman living in Los Angeles, for $0.00, according to county records.

Quinn’s signature does not appear on the November 25th transfer and she told DailyMail.com she knew absolutely nothing about it.

FBI agents swarmed the $160,000 property on Saturday morning in their hunt for the mystery RV driver behind the devastating blast outside Nashville’s AT&T building.

They did not identify a suspect but unmarried Quinn has been named in media reports and a vehicle matching the one used in the bombing is seen parked up beside the two-bed house in Google street view images.

‘In the state of Tennessee you can deed property to someone else without their consent or their signature or anything,’ Swing told DailyMail.com

'I didn't even buy the house he just deeded it over to me without my knowledge. So this all very weird to me, that’s about all I can say.'

Swing declined to say whether she had ever met Warner or whether she had family links to him, adding: ‘I've been told to direct everything else to FBI.’

He is/was 63 and she’s 29. Perhaps a daughter, niece, step-daughter...

We are all guessing, but my guess is that there is some kind of connection.

If that guy just went off, how many more are about to do that? I still see people with Trump flags on their vehicle, like there was not a election where he lost.

It’s really concerning. There are so many that are simply brainwashed. Facts mean nothing any more. If it’s on YouTube, they’ll believe it. It’s a cult, and cult members don’t think rationally.

I’d not heard that he never married nor that he did not have children. I still believe there’s a connect though. I mean, he didn’t just pick a name out of a hat I don’t think.

Since the only picture available of this person is a yearbook picture from 1974, I don't get the impression he was very sociable. He kept to himself and neighbors didn't know his name. He had a defunct alarm business. (I think the alarm business is why he did what he did)

24. I researched Anthony Quinn Warner on Ancestry.com. He was one of 3 siblings all born in Nashville.

His parents divorced and his mother remarried in 1980. His father's obituary in 2011 mentioned only 1 grandchild (his sister's child). His one year older brother died of cancer in 2018. His ancestors on both sides are natives of Tennessee except for paternal grandmother who was born in Kentucky. Quinn was his paternal great grandmother's maiden name. In his high school yearbook photos, he appeared small in stature and had long hair typical of the 1970s. He was a member of the golf team and A-Club (Antioch HS). No yearbook available for 1975 when he would have graduated. Seems to be nothing out of the ordinary.

We don't know if they're the person blown up yet, but it does seem a likely scenario.

This is all so odd, I'm not willing to assume anything at this point.
