Software pioneer McAfee arrives in U.S. from Guatemala MIAMI (Reuters) - John McAfee arrived in Miami on Wednesday night after Guatemala deported the computer software pioneer who is wanted for questioning in Belize over the murder of a fellow American, according to fellow passengers on the American Airlines flight. McAfee, 67, was escorted from the plane by airport security officers, passengers said. He had been held for a week in Guatemala, where he surfaced after evading police in Belize for nearly a month following the killing of American Gregory Faull, his neighbor on the Caribbean island of Ambergris Caye. Police in Belize want to quiz McAfee as a "person of interest" in Faull's death, although the technology guru's lawyers blocked an attempt by Guatemala to send him back there. McAfee has denied any role in Faull's killing. A Reuters witness saw McAfee's plane bound for Miami leaving Guatemala City just before 3:40 p.m. The flight arrived in Miami soon after 7 p.m. 0000 GMT Thursday. The goateed McAfee has led the world's media on a game of online hide-and-seek in Belize and Guatemala since he fled after Faull's death, peppering the Internet with pithy quotes and colorful revelations about his unpredictable life. "I'm happy to be going home," McAfee, dressed in a black suit, told reporters shortly before his departure from Guatemala City airport on Wednesday afternoon. Guatemala's immigration authorities had been holding McAfee since he was arrested last Wednesday for illegally entering the country with his 20-year-old Belizean girlfriend. He said he had no immediate plans after reaching Florida. I'm just going to hang in Miami for a while. I like Miami," he told Reuters by telephone just before his plane left. There is a great sushi place there and I really like sushi. Residents of the Belizean island of Ambergris Caye, where McAfee has lived for about four years, said McAfee and Faull, 52, had quarreled at times, including over McAfee's unruly dogs. McAfee says Belize authorities will kill him if he turns himself in for questioning. He has said he was being persecuted by Belize's ruling party for refusing to pay some $2 million in bribes. Belize police spokesman Raphael Martinez said the country still wanted to question McAfee about the Faull case. He will be just under the goodwill of the United States of America. He is still a person of interest, but a U.S. national has been killed and he has been somewhat implicated in that murder. Martinez noted that Belize's extradition treaty with the United States extended only to suspected criminals, a designation that did not currently apply to McAfee. "Right now, we don't have enough information to change his status from person of interest to suspect," he said. Residents and neighbors on Ambergris Caye said McAfee was unusual and at times unstable. He said he had not taken drugs since 1983. I was the worst drug abuser on the planet," he told Reuters before his arrest in Guatemala. (Writing by Dave Graham, Michael O'Boyle and David Adams.
