FBI agents working on the Christmas bombing in Nashville question whether Anthony Quinn Warner – a local computer expert named as a “person of interest” – was paranoid about 5G technology, according to a report.
Agents are investigating whether Warner, 63, feared 5G technology was being used to spy on Americans, a source close to the investigation told the NBC News affiliate in Nashville.
No further arrests or motives have been revealed in the bombing as of early Sunday.
In another wrinkle in the case, investigators are investigating Warner’s connection to a 29-year-old Los Angeles brunette named Michelle Swing.
Warner last month signed the deed of his $ 160,000 home in suburban Nashville, free to Swing, according to county ownership records found by The Post.
Swing cited the ongoing FBI investigation and declined to speak to The Post about the gift on Saturday, but told The Daily Mail that the transfer was happening “without my knowledge.”
She declined to describe her relationship with Warner.
Later Saturday night, the Mail reported that property records show that Warner had turned over yet another home to the mysterious woman – again for no money.
That property was on the same street as the first and was valued at $ 249,000, the Mail reported.
Warner’s possible fears of 5G technology were also confirmed by a Nashville broker who told NBC he called the FBI on Saturday after seeing the person’s name in the news.
The real estate agent, Steve Fridrich, contacted detectives after realizing he’d hired a “Tony Warner” to do IT work for him over the years – and as recently as this month.
The FBI agent he spoke to asked if Warner was paranoid about 5G technology, Fridrich told NBC. Fridrich said he told agents Warner never said he was afraid of 5G.
“Nice man. You know, he was a tech – don’t mean anything negative about that,” Fridrich told NBC.
“He would do this thing and leave. He didn’t bother anyone. He did his thing and left, ”said Fridrich.
The last time Warner helped him with an internet problem, earlier this month, he spoke about his love of camping, Fridrich told the network.
The white recreational vehicle Warner kept in the yard of his suburban Nashville home bears a striking resemblance to the explosive-laden RV that blew up outside the AT&T building downtown on Christmas morning.
There was no sign of Warner or his RV on Saturday, as investigators searched his property on Saturday; Meanwhile, sources have told CNN and ABC News that investigators believe the explosion may have been the work of a suicide bomber.
Human remains found at the site of the bomb are still being tested for DNA.
Agents plan to clean up Warner’s mother to determine if he was a match, Newsweek reported.
