Investigators have matched human remains found at the bombing site to Warner's DNA.
They say there is no indication anyone else was involved in the Nashville explosion.
Currently, officials say they cannot confirm this is an act of terrorism because they haven't yet tied the act to any ideology. They confirmed Warner was not on any watch list and wasn't monitored.
Metro Nashville Police released new footage of the explosion on social media Sunday evening.

Officials have closed a highway outside of Nashville and are investigating a truck that is reportedly playing a similar recording the RV played before it exploded.
Officials say they have detained the driver of the truck and no explosives were found on the truck.

UPDATE: Sources say federal investigators have identified a person of interest in connection with the explosion that rocked downtown Nashville on Christmas Day and are searching a home associated with that person.
On Sunday, Metro Nashville Police Department Spokesman Don Aaron confirmed Anthony Quinn Warner is under investigation in connection with the Christmas Day bombing. Separately, a law enforcement official told the Associate Press that federal investigators have started examining Warner’s digital footprint and financial history.
Multiple sources confirmed Saturday that Warner, a Nashville area resident, had a similar make and model RV as the one in photos released to the public. Federal agents were at the address listed to Warner on Saturday as well. Warner was described as a 63-year-old White man.
Sources familiar with the matter say they now suspect the blast was the result of a suicide bomber. Officials have previously said they have recovered human remains at the scene of the bombing in downtown Nashville and an FBI official on Saturday said agents are not looking for another suspect.
The recreational vehicle parked near an AT&T facility on Christmas Day and damaged more than 40 businesses, injuring three people. Federal agents are examining the possibility that AT&T was targeted.

An explosion that shook the largely deserted streets of downtown Nashville early Christmas morning shattered windows, damaged buildings and wounded three people.
Authorities said they believed the blast was intentional.
Nashville Police Chief John Drake said officers had received a call of "shots fired" in the area of Second Avenue near Commerce Street at about 5:30 a.m.
"As officers responded, they encountered an RV that had a recording saying a that potential bomb would detonate within 15 minutes. Officers, upon hearing that, decided to evacuate the buildings nearby, so they began knocking on doors, making announcements ... to get people safe."
"Shortly after that, the RV exploded," Drake said.
The FBI and ATF are now taking the lead on the investigation. FBI Assistant Special Agent in Charge Matt Foster said at the briefing, "We're putting everything we have into finding who was responsible for what's happened here today. As part of doing that, there are investigative leads to be pursued. There's also technical work that needs to happen."
He urged anyone with information to go to www.fbi.gov/nashville or call 1-800-CALL-FBI to provide tips.
"Please tell us what you know. We need your leads, we need your help," he said.

The blast caused damage to nearby buildings and shattered windows in the area as a plume of black smoke rose over Second Avenue.
The explosion took place outside 166 Second Avenue, the AT&T building, but police said investigators do not yet know if that site was intentionally chosen.
In a statement, AT&T said, "Service for some customers in Nashville and the surrounding areas may be affected by damage to our facilities from the explosion this morning. We are in contact with law enforcement and working as quickly and safely as possible to restore service."
