Nashville and Federal law enforcement authorities held a press conference late Sunday afternoon to update the public on their ongoing investigation. According to Donald Cochran, U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of Tennessee, forensic DNA evidence that was gathered at the scene indicates Warner was present during the bombing.

Local and federal law enforcement agencies, as well as the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) analysts, agents, and scientists, have worked collaboratively around the clock throughout the investigation.

On Saturday night, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) processed and tested DNA evidence that was collected from the crime scene and compared it to the evidence collected from the RV vehicle used by the suspect to set off the explosion. “At approximately midnight central time,” reported Director of TBI David Rausch, “forensic scientists with TBI confirmed a match of the DNA at both locations belonging to the person of interest [Warner] in this case.”

Authorities reviewed hours of surveillance video and received critical tips that helped them to identify Warner as the likely person of interest. The Tennessee Highway Patrol also matched the vehicle identification number of the RV and the registration for it to him. While they are still following up on leads, they have no indication that anyone other than Warner was involved in the explosion, said Special FBI Agent Douglas Korneski.

Nashville Chief of Police John Drake reassured the public that there are no other known threats to the city of Nashville and announced a curfew, which went into effect at 4:30 p.m. on Sunday from James Robertson Parkway to Fourth Avenue, Broadway, and to the Cumberland River. A narrower curfew will begin on Monday at noon, encompassing Union, Fourth Avenue, North Broadway, and the Cumberland River.

Authorities have asked that the public continue to provide them with leads either online at www.fbi.gov/nashville or by phone at 1-800-CALL-FBI. Although Korneski would not speculate about a motive, he stressed that those who knew Warner could help to answer questions about it by providing tips.

Little about Warner was disclosed. According to a piece by Jack Phillips in The Epoch Times, public records reveal that he lived in a home southeast of Nashville in Antioch, which the FBI and U.S. ATF searched on Saturday. “Earlier in the day,” continues Phillips,

Nashville Mayor John Cooper told CBS News’ “Face the Nation” he believed there was a connection between the bombing and the AT&T building nearby. The blast took down AT&T service in the region; the company said Sunday that it is still working to restore it.

Steve Fridrich, owner of Fridrich & Clark Realty in Nashville’s Green Hills neighborhood, said he spoke with agents after the company told the FBI he had worked there.

Fridrich said that for four or five years Warner had come into the office roughly once a month to provide computer consulting services, until this month when Warner told the company in an email that he would no longer be working for them. He gave no reason, according to Fridrich.

‘He seemed very personable to us—this is quite out of character I think,’ Fridrich told the newspaper.
