>>13374630I will let you in on a secret if you promise not to tell anyone. Daphne Westbrook does not exist and all of the photos of her, if you look very closely, are the byproduct of an extremely sophisticated GAN-type program. They even made a video to try to convince everyone she was real. John Westbrook was a scientist working at a place called LNSS in New Mexico and he just left work one day without getting approval to be discharged from his duties, which is a violation of their policy. Employees there are not allowed to have money, but he borrowed mainframe time from a machine they have there to mine bitcoins, which he used to buy a car (employees also not allowed to own cars) to escape. He traveled to Washington with his daughter, who also lived at LNSS in Whites City, New Mexico at their little daycare there. John was unmarried and the woman identified as Rhona Curtsinger was a disgruntled former co-worker, and ex of his. John had no daughter he could have plausibly kidnapped in the first place.
With his knowledge of the program at LNSS, known colloquially as "Green Door," a manhunt was initiated, but because it was believed he may have traveled to China, Mandarin-language copies of the stories you read were posted online. The purpose of the invention of the Daphne character was to 1.) Create a pretext for requesting John's extradition to the United States, if he did, in fact, travel to China, and 2.) To test out the NSA's latest GAN capabilities, which have applications in support of DIA's Signature Reduction office.
