Nashville bombing: Girlfriend tells police that bomber made explosives in RV in 2019, records show


On August 21, 2019, police received a call from an attorney representing Pamela Perry, the woman saying she was the girlfriend of bomber Anthony Warner, the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department said in a statement Tuesday. She told her attorney, Raymond Throckmort, that she had threatened to commit suicide by telephone.

When police arrived, they found two pistols in Perry’s possession, which he said belonged to Warner. According to an MNPD report, “Warner was making a bomb in an RV trailer at his residence,” he told officials he would no longer want them at home.

Police also spoke with Throckmorton, who at one time represented Warner and was also present at Perry’s home. The report said he told Werner that he “talks frequently about the military and bomb-making.”

CNN has reached Throckmorton to comment on his account – first reported by Tennessee – but has not yet heard.

During his many attempts to enter the home, Warner would not open the door to police, a statement from the department said, and since no evidence of crime was found, they had no right to enter.

The MNPD asked the FBI to check its databases for Warner’s records and found nothing, the FBI confirmed in a statement to CNN.

On Monday, David Rausch, director of the Tennessee Bureau of Investigative Investigations, said Werner, 63, was not previously on the law enforcement radar.

There are days left from crime scenes

The blast outside the AT&T Transmission Building in Nashville on Friday damaged more than 40 buildings and injured at least eight people.

Rush said investigators identified Warner positively by comparing him to DNA on gloves from the scene and the cap of the vehicle next to him. The motive for the blast is not yet known.

The blast ripped through the historic Nashville street, and federal investigators expect it to be cut from the rubble by Friday and gather all the evidence from the crime scene, officials said Tuesday.

At the time, the FBI and ATF’s national response teams had completed half the crime and opened it up to city workers for a cleanup and safety assessment, said FBI spokesman Jason Pack.

Residents of Nashville, business owners to get important items and pets from the Christmas Day bomb site

And despite the authorities working hard ahead of them in deciding to promote the disaster, the impact began to open up to about two dozen business owners and residents on the outskirts of the impact site.

They were taken by authorities to buildings considered structurally safe to retrieve their valuables – in some cases their pets.

For many small business owners affected by the bombing, the damage only adds to the trouble caused by the coronavirus epidemic.

“This year has been tough,” Pete Gibbs, owner of Pride and Glory Tattoos on 2nd Avenue, told CNN. “But, when we get a little light at the end of the tunnel, it all goes away in two seconds.”

CNN’s King Razek, Evan Perez, Shimon Procપેpez, Mark Morales, Jamie Lynch, Holly Selverman, Eric Levenson, Amir Vera, K Jones and Natasha Chen contributed to the report.
