Late Sunday, the Federal Bureau of Investigation released the results of forensic testing on human remains recovered at the blast site.
The Tennessee Highway Patrol was able to locate and recover the RV’s vehicle identification number. “That information, along with crucial tips from the public, led to the home of the suspect in Antioch,” reads the release.
At this point, a motive for the bombing remains unclear, states the FBI.
The New York Timesis reportingthat Warner worked as an information technology specialist, who would visit offices in the area to fix computers.
Google Street View images from May 2019 showed the Thor Motor Coach Chateau RV used in the blast in Warner’s backyard.
According tothe Times, Warner recently told his ex-girlfriend he was dying of cancer, and gave her his car. He also signed over the deed to his home.
Steve Fridrich, one of Warner’s clients, toldthe Timeshe received an email from the IT specialist three weeks ago, announcing his retirement.
“He’s a nice guy, and this seems uncharacteristic of the Tony we know,” Fridrich wrote in a text message. “He was very professional and knew his stuff.”

The explosion happened just before dawn. Warner, police said, was the sole casualty.
The blast, outside an AT&T building, crippled cellular service throughout the state.
