Authorities came upon a startling and mysterious scene when they showed up at a luxury apartment in Los Angeles in April while investigating a call about a gas odor.
The door was barricaded. A cache of loaded weapons, including an AK-47, sat next to a mosaic depicting the CIA seal. They found equipment for counterfeiting money. High-powered binoculars were trained on the U.S. Federal Reserve building next door.
What followed was a six-week hunt for a suspect who had slipped out of the fire escape moments earlier and whose evasiveness drew comparisons to fictional agent Jason Bourne.
Police would eventually find their man, Brian Alexik, hiding out in his girlfriend's apartment less than a mile from where he fled. But three weeks on, detectives are still trying to figure out just who he is, what plot they may have thwarted and whether he was a lone wolf or part of a larger group.
Alexik clammed up soon after he was arrested and his trail has been harder to follow because he used at least two fake names.
The 34-year-old is originally from Edison, N.J., detectives said. In 1996, he was convicted in Middlesex County on a drug-dealing charge. Five years later, he pleaded guilty to theft by deception and was sentenced to 180 days in jail, five years probation and had to pay $1,000 in restitution to a business.
Investigators are scouring his computer hard drives and studying the alarming contents of his penthouse as they attempt to unravel the mystery.

Jason Bourne was a mile away at his GF’s pad...puhleeze..
If he’s a “lone wolf” and he’s a Muslim - Homeland Security will protect all Muslims from being “painted with a broad brush”.
If he’s a “lone wolf” and he’s a liberal or member of a liberal hate group - it’s a non- story. Might be mentally ill - or just “care too much”.
If he’s a “lone wolf” and he’s conservative then ALL conservatives are nuts and violent and Rush Limbaugh should be strung up. Homeland Security will declare he’s only one of many - and all conservatives are just like him...
They know his name, hometown, criminal background and social circles he traveled but they consider him a mystery? What am I missing?
Perhaps he was checking out his competition?
If the AK was the only high-powered rifle there, forget about any long-distance assassination being planned. That’s not what you would go with.
That's LameStreamese for "they found info on his computer linking him to AQ or such and we want to bury it, but the boss made us write the story on a slow news day?"
What’s his moslem name?
Maybe it takes the sting out of admitting that it took them 3 weeks to find him at his girlfriend’s house.
his trail has been harder to follow because he used at least two fake names
That's one of the funniest things I have seen in my life. You could do the same for "high powered rifle".
Sounds like he is imitating Obama and authorities are playing along, just like with Obama.
LOL
“They know his name, hometown, criminal background and social circles he traveled but they consider him a mystery? What am I missing?”
Nothing. Here is the, ahem, money shot of the writer’s fantasy.
“At a recent court hearing he appeared in a blue jail jumpsuit, his brown hair dyed to a coppery orange color and swept back across his head.”
One has to conclude that using meth and knowing a few people “in cosmetics” only enhances his reputation as a super sexy spy. It is SF after all... and the girlfriend got zero attention.
tooo damn funny... sad, but true

He has a public defender instead of a lawyer?
He didn't pay his electric bill or rent?
Getting evicted?
A slick, mysterious secret agent type guy?
Right.
