LA woman linked to Nashville bomber

LOS ANGELES, CA – Officials reportedly drew a line at an executive in Los Angeles who, according to authorities, was responsible for the Christmas Day bombing in downtown Nashville.

Michelle Swing, 29, lives in downtown Los Angeles and works as an artist development director at AEG Presents, Deadline reports. Swing allegedly received two homes in Tennessee for ‘$ 0’ from Anthony Quinn Warner, who according to FBI officials is the Nashville bomber.

Warner allegedly transferred a $ 160,000 home in January 2019 in Antioch, a neighborhood 20 miles from downtown Nashville. Last month, according to the deed, Warner transferred another home in Antioch, his home at 115 Bakertown Road, worth $ 249,999.

Allegedly, Swing transferred the first home to another person.

It is not known exactly what the relationship between Warner and Swing was, but she worked as a marketing coordinator for AC Entertainment in Knoxville, Tennessee, from May 2011 to May 2012, reports Deadline.

The $ 160,000 home was raided by FBI agents on Saturday as part of the investigation into the bombing. Swing told the Daily Mail she did not know about the most recent transfer.

“In the state of Tennessee, you can give property to someone else without their permission or their signature or something,” Swing told the Daily Mail. ‘I did not even buy the house, but he passed it on to me without my knowledge. It’s very strange to me, that’s all I can say. ‘

She also told the Washington Post that the FBI had told her not to discuss the matter.

Warner, 63, is the main suspect in the bombing, which occurred in an RV parked downtown, FBI officials said Sunday. Special agents said Warner died in the blast after discovering human remains found at the scene.

The bombing took place at 06:40 after a broadcast from the RV rang and according to the reports warned people to evacuate the area.

The RV exploded and destroyed an AT&T building that cut out cell phone services in the area. The blast also disrupted police and hospital lines in several southern states.

Three people were injured in the blast, which police called a “deliberate act”.

Warner, who previously ran an alarm business, is described as a “hermit” by a neighbor who was questioned by the Washington Post.

A spokesman for the FBI’s field office in Los Angeles told City News Service that the case was being handled by the agency in Memphis. A spokesman for the Memphis office said the agency would not comment on an ongoing investigation.

FBI officials have asked anyone who knows Warner or his motives to contact the agency.
