The man who detonated an RV full of explosives in downtown Nashville, Tennessee, on Christmas morning may have been plotting his suicide bombing for more than a year, according to a new report by the Tennessean, which notes that his girlfriend alerted authorities to possible bomb-making last year.

“Sixteen months before [the bomber’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,” the outlet notes based on documents obtained in a Freedom of Information Act request.
