More McAfee
posted (November 12, 2012)
Tonight John McAfee is the prime suspect for the murder of his neighbor in Belize, and that has made the computer software pioneer the subject of headlines all across the United States.

And that's because McAfee is also hiding out somewhere in Belize. He's been talking to Joshua Davis from WIRED Magazine who is doing an extended feature on McAfee.

These article is now posted on the WIRED Magazine website along with these pictures which were taken for the article just last week in Belize.

As we noted at the top of the newscast McAfee denies any involvement in the murder - and feels that whoever shot Faull may have actually been looking for him. He is quoted as saying, "I thought maybe they were coming for me. They mistook him for me. They got the wrong house."

Davis adds a compelling detail to the story. He says that while he was interviewing McAfee over the summer, quote, "McAfee showed me his 9mm Smith & Wesson revolver, and I observed 9mm Luger ammunition sitting on his dining room table."

Noteworthy because police found a single luger brand 9 mm expended shell at the murder scene. Davis also quotes McAfee as saying this afternoon:

"Under no circumstances am I going to willingly talk to the police in this country," McAfee adds, quote,

"You can say I'm paranoid about it but they will kill me, there is no question. They've been trying to get me for months. They want to silence me. I am not well liked by the prime minister. I am just a thorn in everybody's side." McAfee ends that little tirade by adding that he has no plans to leave the country because, quote, "I like it here…It's the nicest place on earth."

McAfee tells WIRED that while police searched his property on Sunday afternoon he hid by burying himself in the sand with a cardboard box over his head so he could breathe.

He remains in hiding tonight….
