Law enforcement has identified the suspect/bomber, and already have agents investigating his residence.
It seems law enforcement identified him via DNA samples collected from the human remains found in the RV that exploded. What I am still skeptical about is how law enforcement could be sure that the “human remain” is that of the bomber’s rather than a victim’s (e.g., someone kidnapped /killed by the real bomber and kept in the RV ahead of time to misdirect investors)?

I would think his DNA is all over the house he lived in, right?
Your instincts were correct.

Rick Laude told the AP he was speechless when he discovered Anthony Q. Warner is suspected of detonating the bomb on Christmas Day.
Laude said he casually asked Warner less than a week before then, “Is Santa going to bring you anything good for Christmas?”
He said that Warner smiled and responded, “Oh, yeah, Nashville and the world is never going to forget me.”

Yeah we will especially if he didn’t leave any hints of motive.

Body cam footage. He even mentions while walking past the RV that the warnings are something you’d see or hear in the movies like The Purge. And that the building is where the hardliners are for the southeast.
Also at 12:03 the cop is walking by the hotel I stayed at last time I was there.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=Sixteen months before Anthony Quinn Warner's RV exploded in downtown Nashville on Christmas morning, officers visited his home in Antioch after his girlfriend reported that he was making bombs in the vehicle, according to documents obtained by The Tennessean.
On Friday, 63-year-old Warner blew up a city block, police say, about 6:30 a.m. on Second Avenue outside an AT&T switch facility. The bomb caused massive destruction to 41 downtown buildings and crippled telecommunication systems throughout the Southeast over the weekend.
In the aftermath, The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation said Warner was "not on our radar" prior to the bombing. But a Metro Nashville Police Department report from August 2019 shows that local and federal authorities were aware of alleged threats he had made.
No actions appear to have been taken to stop Warner, a slender 5-foot-8, 135-pound man who died in the explosion, which injured three others.
On Aug. 21, 2019, the girlfriend told Nashville police that Warner "was building bombs in the RV trailer at his residence," the MNPD report states. Nashville police then forwarded the information to the FBI.
Officers were called to the home of Warner's girlfriend, roughly a mile and a half from Warner, who lived at 115 Bakertown Road.
Police were called by the woman's attorney, Raymond Throckmorton III, who was concerned about comments she had made. When they arrived, they found her sitting on the porch with two unloaded guns nearby.
"She related that the guns belonged to a 'Tony Warner' and that she did not want them in the house any longer," MNPD spokesman Don Aaron said in a statement to The Tennessean.
While at the house, the woman told police about the bomb comments Warner had made.
Throckmorton, who served as the woman's attorney, told officers Warner "frequently talks about the military and bomb making," the document said.
Warner "knows what he is doing and is capable of making a bomb," the attorney said to the officers, according to the report.
In an interview Tuesday night, Throckmorton told The Tennessean he urged police at the time to look into the woman's claim. He said she feared for her safety, believing Warner may harm her.
According to the police report and Throckmorton, the woman was experiencing a mental health crisis at the time. Officers called their mobile crisis division, and after talking with the woman, she agreed to be transported by ambulance for a psychological evaluation, Aaron said.
Police then went to Warner's home, but he didn't answer the door after they knocked several times.
Officers saw his RV behind the house, but the vehicle was fenced off and police were unable to see inside of it, the report said. While there, police noted that there were "several security cameras and wires attached to a alarm sign on the front door."
