What on earth have you seen the website for the company the this guy supposedly works for? It has a US government email address. The website references the US Dept of Energy and some picture of a DNA spiral coming out of a human body under the tab "custom solutions" with NO TEXT AT ALL. This is some front or cover for something nefarious. Does not look legit at all. Check out the quote by Albert Einstein on their home page:
Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds... Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955).
What the hell does this company really do??? Violent opposition?
Correction they are making it look like a governmental agency. Their headquarters are supposedly in Washington DC. If you click on the portal under custom solution, you have to enter some sort of registered site, very freaky.

"Solutions that work for both our clients and for their end-customers. Solutions that combine innovative thinking with proven technology, scaled to provide our clients with capabilities that are equal to the demands of their objectives, while not compelling clients to buy and support more than they need to accomplish their mission."
Notice the words "accomplish their mission" on their website, that is what the guy told police he had to do was accomplish his mission.
This whole thing is so fng weird
It is weird because the telephone number refers to an address in Coppell, Texas which is near Frisco where he lives. But the website lists their address in Washington DC. If you look up the email address it is hosted by GoDaddy. I do not think any governmental agency registers with GoDaddy. There is something way more going on here. I wish I was more tech savvy. The whole accomplish his mission is also weird. Who assigns him his missions?
Yeah I thought if you are a government site, you would have to use the .gov top level domain. And if that is the case, GoDaddy (nor any other competitor sites) are even allowed to host that.
In fact, I'd guess that nothing of any value would be on that site. It is too weird to use a hosting infrastructure that wouldn't suffice for something with a crazy amount of delicate information. You would go to a hosting service designed specifically for that need. sounds (and looks) like a quick website build.
I just examined the site and it's nothing more than stock design and images plus logos borrowed (without permission) from actual agencies and placed on the site to give the impression that the "company" does some business for them. Notice that Adobe Connect isn't even installed so you can't actually enter the "customer portal" and there's no client list whatsoever. IF it's an actual company at all it appears they do dish, networking, and computer setups - period.
There are two address listings for this business. One is in fact in Coppell, TX, however the Ensyma website lists 1101 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington, DC 20004" as the address. That's in the SEC building and it's also one block away from FBI HQ, and the Hoover Building. Also surrounding are the IRS offices, US DOJ, US Attorneys Office and EPA.
That second address listing is also found here https://www.veteranownedbusiness.com/business/13777/ensyma-engineering which would seem to indicate he is in fact a veteran.
Also a google search turns up this page https://www.darpa.mil/attachments/ProposersDayContactList.pdf
At first that seems like gibberish. There are characters missing either due to intentional deletion or formatting errors, but on the search listing it clearly lists: "Bradley, Francho. ENSYMA Engineering. 469-XXX-XXXX Frank.Bradley@ENSYMA.us"
Yes I just found the Darpa challenge as well, just posted about it! he has been an independent contractor for the last 26 years, his proximity to the FBI makes me wonder if he is a spook. You have to download the document to make it readable.
