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.

Great post.
He has no birth certificate?
He is found at his girl friends apartment? 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?

Ok, so he is a nut with two fake names, some guns, etc. How does this compare him with Jason Bourne?
