Nashville RV bomber Anthony Quinn Warner probably chose Christmas morning for his devastating suicide blast because his “intention was more destruction than death,” a chief investigator said Monday.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigative Director, when the typically crowded streets in the historic downtown city were mostly deserted, the old man single-handedly blew up several buildings in particular. David Rausch said on NBC’s “Today” show.
Rausch said he also gave the parked RV a “chance to evacuate” with a warning of a parked RV about an oddly played audio dio in Petrula Clark’s classic pop song “Downtown”.
The senior investigator said the evidence “certainly gives you an understanding that the possibility was that he had no intention of harming anyone except himself.”
“It seems like the intention was more destruction than death,” he said.
The investigator confirmed that the massive investigation involving federal, state and local officials did not include the IT consultant’s social media presence and that there was no suggestion of political ideology left.
“We’re not sure we’ll get there for the full answer because obviously that guy isn’t with us anymore,” Rausch said.
He added, “We can never find the logic behind the activity that took place.”
The bureau director also revealed that his team was able to confirm that Warner was killed in the blast by the DNA of the hat and the remains of gloves from the attacker’s old car.
Nashville Mayor John Cooper said Sunday that the bombing appeared to be an “infrastructure attack” targeting the AT&T building on the block, which caused service disruptions in some states.
Cooper, “All of us locally, it seems like there should be little connection between the AT&T facility and the site of the bombing.” “Face the nation,” he told CBS News. ”
“It has something to do with infrastructure,” he said of the attack, which was carried out by a man who believed in conspiracy theories about the 5G network.
