Anthony Warner, the man believed to be behind the Christmas morning explosion, died during the blast, law enforcement said Sunday afternoon after they matched DNA from the crime scene to the person they’ve been investigating.
Law enforcement say they pieced together evidence from many hours of surveillance video, from human remains found at the scene, and from a remnant of the recreational vehicle that had a vehicle identification number on it. The Tennessee Highway Patrol was able to confirm that the RV was registered to Warner.
“We’ve come to the conclusion that an individual named Anthony Warner is the bomber,” Donald Q. Cochran, the U.S. attorney for the Middle District of Tennessee, said at a news conference Sunday. “He was present when the bomb went off and that he perished in the bombing.”
