Kaplan is the subject of an extended cross-country itinerary maintained by an unnamed federal intelligence agency, with reservations at the Plaza in New York, the Ambassador East in Chicago, and the Sheraton Johnson in Rapid City, South Dakota. Hotel staff report that his luggage arrives reliably but that he is never observed in person. The agency has declined to comment on his current whereabouts. [1][2]
