Nashville bomber’s girlfriend told police in 2019 he was making explosives inside RV: report

Prior to his death, the man who detonated a Christmas Day bomb in downtown Nashville had sent out materials about his views to people he knew, federal investigators said Saturday.

Recordings of 911 calls during the Nashville bombing show the sheer panic and confusion in the moments before and after the Christmas morning explosion. Audio recordings, first obtained by affiliate news station FOX 5, provide a glimpse into the terror that surrounded the minutes before the explosion – when a suspicious recreational vehicle began blaring an announcement warning people to evacuate and that a bomb would detonate – and following the blast.

The Nashville bomber’s family members weren’t happy to learn in 2019 that he had signed over his mother’s stake in a family-owned property to a 29-year-old woman in Los Angeles, the bomber’s lawyer claimed this week, according to a report.

Despite reported suspicions last year that the suspect in the Nashville Christmas Day bombing was making explosives, officials on Wednesday said they found no evidence at the time to warrant a search of his home or recreational vehicle.  Nashville police were called to a home on Aug. 21, 2019, over reports of a woman threatening to kill herself, police Chief John Drake told reporters.
