On Christmas morning, the explosion in Nashville, the capital of the US state of Tennessee, must have been heard of.
Originally, many people thought it was an ordinary bombing case, but as the investigation continued to deepen, they found that this explosion was full of strangeness...
The American Junxian briefly sorted out the incident on the day:
At around 5:30 a.m. on Christmas Day, while the vast majority of people were still asleep, Nashville police received an alarm call because citizens living near downtown were awakened by gunshots.
The police who rushed to the scene thinking it was a shooting did not find anything unusual:
There was no intense scene, no sought-after hands and victims, not even blood, just a weird white motorhome:
It has no license plates, its windows are obscured, and just as the police are about to check whether there is anyone in the car, the speakers on the car suddenly begin to emit warnings of electronically synthesizing female voices:
"People who can hear the recording, please evacuate immediately, there is a bomb on the car."
"Exploded after 15 minutes."
"Exploded after 14 minutes."
......
The countdown is turned on. As a result, the police began to evacuate the residents living nearby.
Just in the last three minutes of the countdown, the RV sounded beautiful music,
It was the 1964 song "Downtown" by British singer Petula Clark.
When you're alone and life is making you lonely
When you are alone, life makes you suffer from loneliness,
You can always go - downtown.
Let's go for a walk around the city center.
Don't wait a minute more downtown
Go to the city center, don't wait a minute,
Everything is waiting for you
Good things are waiting for you.
The countdown was getting closer and closer, and finally, at about 6:30 in the morning, with a loud noise, this strange caravan became a ball of fire, and the flames soared into the sky...
One local resident said it felt like a bomb, and that bomb was too big.
After the explosion, the vehicles parked nearby and the surrounding buildings were affected, and downtown Nashville was in a mess, and the biggest impact was the nearest "Batman Building"↓
The building is actually the AT&T Telecom Building, known as the Batman Building because of the two spires on the top of the building.
Communications signals were cut off throughout Nashville as a result of the explosion, as were services throughout Tennessee, Kentucky and parts of Alabama.
But because of the countdown alert that was issued in advance, which gave people time to evacuate early, only three people were slightly injured at the time.
After the explosion, police began to search for explosive debris debris.
As the investigation progressed, the police found human remains from the wreckage of the motorhome! That is to say, there was someone in the sheltered motorhome at that time, and he was quietly in the car watching all this happen, which was a suicide bombing...
Later, through clues such as photos of the white motorhome before the explosion, police locked the suspect, Anthony Quinn Warner, a 63-year-old Nashville native.
Later DNA test results confirmed this.
Warner is a person who is usually used to being alone.
His home also has cameras and "Do Not Break In" signs.
Warner's career is as an outsourced engineer, responsible for remotely solving electronic technical problems.
Earlier this month, Warner told the real estate company, with whom he regularly does business, that he would no longer cooperate in the future.

Rick Laude is Warner's neighbor, and they chatted before Christmas:
-"Warner, did you say Santa Claus was going to bring you something good as a gift this year?" ”
- "Yes, I'll be more famous, so famous that the whole of Nashville will never forget me." ”
It all seemed as if Warner had been prepared for the bombing.
However, as the investigation unfolds, a more mysterious woman enters the police's field of vision.
U.S. police found that Warner had just transferred his $160,000 home to the 29-year-old California woman by signing a "renunciation of title deed" on November 25, the day before Thanksgiving, and a month before his devastating suicide attack.
The woman, Michelle Swing, is a music industry executive, she's not Warner's wife, and on the surface she doesn't seem to have any connection...
Michelle Swing said she was completely unaware of Warner's transfer of the house to her, saying that in Tennessee, it is possible to mortgage property to someone without their consent or signature.
Even more bizarrely, this wasn't the first house Warner had given her.
Warner also gave her a $249,000 house worth a year ago, which belonged to Warner's deceased father, Warner, who gave it to Swing for free after only five months of ownership.
It wasn't until later, Warner's mother sued her son for the house, and finally got it back.
Together, the two houses are worth more than $400,000, and Swing hasn't spent a penny.
It's unclear if Swing ever entered the two houses, and she told investigators she had never even seen Warner.
Her LinkedIn previously showed she studied marketing and business at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville.
Her career also started out in this area until she moved to California in 2012, after which she went to Los Angeles.
At present, Swing's social media such as Facebook, LinkedIn have been cleared.
For now, calm is being restored to the streets of Nashville that exploded at the time.
But just when everyone thought the horror was coming to an end, on December 27, Nashville once again appeared "the same horror recording." A white truck parked in front of a convenience store with an audio warning people to evacuate was played similar to the recording of suspects driving in a motorhome during the Nashville bombing. The truck was stopped after leaving the convenience store, and the truck driver was detained by the police...
And the case that reveals this strange and confusing case everywhere is still waiting for a final truth...
