[Breitbart] "CBS News has learned that police have a person of interest or persons of interest in connection with the explosion that rocked Nashville on Christmas Day, @jeffpeguescbs reports," the outlet reported in a Saturday afternoon update, with CBS’s Jeff Pegues reporting Nashville area resident Anthony Quinn Warner, who reportedly "had a similar make and model RV," as the person of interest:

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.

#17   the Boston bombers too...whom I strongly suspect the FBI tried to turn as informants

As I recall, Tennessee, the FBI tried to turn the elder Tsarnaev brother into an informant, but he refused.

#16  According to CBS, 'at least two tips were called in to the FBI about Warner prior to the explosion.'

It takes a lot of weirdness for someone to pick up the phone and call the FBI with a tip...much less two tips...and it still took the efforts of local citizens to call again after the explosion and say "I told ya so" and "here's your sign" to the Nashville FBI.

The FBI was tipped off about the Boston bombers too...whom I strongly suspect the FBI tried to turn as informants only to get burned. Same with Nakoula Basseley Nakoula the youtube movie guy blamed for the riots across the ME...all indicators are they tried to turn as a CI and got burned.

Just curious if this happened again?

#13  its pretty weird, is it just a mysterious story to get us all to "wonder", or is it the n"new normal" to have bombs going off randomly in cities around the USA until "we" tow the line?

#12  Deeding property to a woman much younger than him half way across the country. Frustrated, lonely dude. Maybe too frustrated and lonely...

#11   Swing. From Conan Daily. Neither Warner or Swing are listed as being married. It doesn't seem that Warner ever was married or had kids.

#10  Searching the name Lisa Swing from Besoeker’s Daily Mail link led me to the following — I have no idea how trustworthy the site is, so if you have skillz, dear Reader, here is some meat for your maw:

Who is Nashville Bombing Property Suspect: Lisa Swing

[WikiAboutWorld] Lisa Swing is identified as the mother who was given two homes worth $409,000 for free by the man identified as ‘person of interest’ Anthony Quinn Warner in the Nashville Christmas Day bombing and has said she had no knowledge of the property exchange, DailyMail.com revealed.

Warner also transferred another home on Bakertown Road to Swing via a quitclaim deed last year. The $249,000 house had previously belonged to a member of his family and Warner had only been in possession of it for five months before again giving it to Swing for free. She later also used a quitclaim to give the house to another person.

According to WSMV Nashville, the FBI is working on tips that Warner was paranoid about the idea that Americans are being spied on using 5G, which could explain by the RV exploded outside of an AT&T transmission center.

Agents also spent time searching another location on Saturday, as well as Warner’s home and spoke to a Nashville real estate agent who called in to say Warner used to work for him. Steve Fridrich told WSMV that Warner was a subcontractor who had done IT work for him for years. He claimed agents asked him about whether Warner had spoken about 5G in the past but he said no.

‘Nice guy. You know, he was a techie guy – don’t mean anything negative about that. He would do this thing and leave. He didn’t bother anybody,’ Fridrich said.

What we know so far about Lisa Swing

According to Newsweek, authorities will swab Warner’s mother to determine if he is a match to the remains found at the bomb site. The second home that Warner had transferred to Swing was also located on Bakertown Road just a short walk from the house raided on Saturday.

The transfer took place in January 2019, just months after he had acquired the house in an intrafamily exchange.

The house originally belonged to Warner’s father Charles but was passed to Warner’s brother Steve after Charles’ death in 2011.

Steve also died of cancer in September 2018, a month after Warner acquired the house.

Swing’s address in the record for the transfer is listed as Lenoir City, Tennesse, a two-hour drive from Nashville. In March 2019, she also used a quitclaim to give away the house to a person named Betty Lane, according to county records. According to her LinkedIn profile, she studied Marketing and Business and the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, where she remained working until 2012 when she moved to California.

Lisa Swing first lives in San Francisco before a move to Los Angeles in October 2018 where she works in artist development for Anschutz Entertainment Group.

#8  The Nashville person of interest reads like the guy who was the "alleged" shooter person of interest in Las Vegas. White guy, about the same age, loner, few family ties; both end up dead. I'd like to see the surveillance videos from Nashville, please. I'd like to clean up the images of the driver.

#7  Maybe the authorities will "discover" a pristine passport

... or a box of ballots in the perp's name.

#6  Maybe the authorities will "discover" a pristine passport (or, in an American's case, a driver's license) about 75 meters from the blast site.

#5  the remains of a body were, I think, found in the wrecked vehicle

DNA, tooth records, etc. should have identified that person by now.

#4  police have a person of interest or persons of interest in connection with the explosion

Doesn't that sound mysterious!

"You got it, Boss!"

#3  I'm going with 'a-hole who wanted to go out in a spectacular way but didn't want to kill anyone else', rather the opposite of the a-hole in Vegas.

A new calling card may be the lack of stated motivation, other than going out in a spectacular fashion. 'Subverting Expectations' as it were.
