John McAfee Update: Anti-virus software creator wanted for questioning in Belize murder tells Wired magazine he is innocent An undated photo of John McAfee (CBS/AP) - John McAfee, the software company founder wanted by Belizean police for questioning in the murder of his neighbor, tells Wired magazine that he is innocent - and on the run because he fears for his life. McAfee, 67, lived next door to 52-year-old Gregory Viant Faull, who was found with a gunshot wound to his head inside his two-story home north of San Pedro, a town on the island of Ambergris Caye, said Raphael Martinez, spokesman for Belize's Ministry of National Security. Martinez said that no charges had been filed in the case, describing McAfee only as a "person of interest" for police. Wired reports that McAfee, who has reportedly been calling Wired writer Joshua Davis to tell his side of the story, is afraid that if he's taken into custody, he'll be killed. Davis writes: "Asked what he knows about the shooting, McAfee said, 'Nothing - other than I heard he had been shot.' In fact, McAfee added, he's worried that whoever shot Faull may have actually been gunning for him. I thought maybe they were coming for me. They mistook him for me. They got the wrong house,' he said. 'He's dead. They killed him. It spooked me out.' According to Davis, McAfee says that when police searched his property on Sunday, he was "burying himself in the sand with a cardboard box over his head so he could breathe." David writes that McAfee told him, "Under no circumstances am I going to willingly talk to the police in this country...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.
