So am I the only one that didn't hear him say he was 'inside' of his compound, and only that he was where he had been most of the time, and that was 'in sight' of his compound. I don't understand why everyone is reporting he's in his compound, and supposedly in a safe room. I also think he is an extremely intelligent individual, and wouldn't be giving out his actual location, or any actual changes he has made to his appearance. How many of us have been detained by the Belize police for 14 hours in handcuffs, or put in a Belize jail cell. I don't know that I'd be up for a second round of that either. I'd have to say I'm not hearing any crazy (or bonker) statements from him. I also don't know how many expats I've met, that many folks wouldn't consider 'eccentric', including me. Lastly, how many of us would be able to stand up to the scrutiny of having every single move we've ever made put under a microscope.
p.s. How about Jeff Wise...does he have an ax to grind? http://www.whoismcafee.com/ "Jeff's first article about me was a piece in National Geographic Explorer about my flying adventures in New Mexico. He stayed with us for a week or so and went flying/camping with my pilot friends and I as part of his stay. One of those friends was a beautiful young woman named Goldy Ivashkov. The first day he arrived he ended up spending the night with her. While camping, their intimacy was flaunted to the point that around the campfire, the lap-sitting, face kissing, fondling was so intense that I jokingly and loudly said "somebody get pictures of this to send to his wife in case we get a bad story from him". It was a joke. I joke a lot. Unfortunately, many pictures were taken and, as I am told, his wife did receive some. I had nothing to do with it. I could care less about who sleeps with whom, or where, or how - as long as it's not in my own bed while I'm trying to sleep. Well, to be honest, not even in the same room while I'm trying to sleep. Barring that, nothing could concern me less.
Jeff however, I truly believe, thinks that I sent the photos to his wife. If I had done so, then I would deserve whatever wrath he chose to mete out. But seriously, it's not my style. And if his mistaken suspicion is not the reason for his bulldog approach to sniffing out my life then I can't even guess at what twisted motives move this man.
The net result of his stories, however, has made my life appear much darker than the mere "eccentricity" that most people, including myself, ascribe to me."
True? I have no idea. If so, it would help to explain why this one reporter seems to have such a personal and biased fixation on this one individual.
The truth about what happened that tragic evening is the ONLY thing that's important. Not speculation and rumoring.
A bizarre visit to John McAfee's pleasure palace in Belize
Editor's note: In search of in-hiding Internet security guru John McAfee, CNN Correspondent Martin Savidge traveled not just to the Central American country of Belize, but to a remote island off the coast, where down a rutted road he found the remnants of an eccentric-in-paradise lifestyle.
Ambergris Caye, Belize (CNN) -- To look for John McAfee, you must be willing to travel a narrow, rutted and muddy road. And the more I bumped and backfired along it in my temperamental, rented, gas golf cart ... the deeper down the rabbit hole I fell. This is one weird story.
Some say it began a week ago Friday when the man who practically invented Internet security, John McAfee, shot his dogs.
Others say it goes back to April when police raided his compound on the mainland looking for drugs and guns. They found both but the guns had permits and the drugs were legal. Some say police never got over their disappointment. The Austrian woman I had picked up with my golf cart told me McAfee was trying to make a female version of Viagra.
John McAfee shares his home in Belize with seven girlfriends, two women told CNN.
I'm not in the habit of picking up hitchhikers but it's customary here to give a lift to locals. As they say, "You never know when YOU might need a ride." Judging by the sound of my golf cart, that time wasn't far off.
McAfee lives in the remote northern part of Ambergris Caye, an island 36 miles from the Belize mainland. I hopped a 15-minute prop-powered shuttle only to find his home was an additional six miles from the town of San Pedro.
You might wonder why someone with so much money would live so far from town down such a difficult road. Rounding a sandy curve it quickly became obvious: the staggering beauty of the Belize Barrier Reef coast.
Residents say the farther north on the island you go the higher the price of real estate.
McAfee's view is worth a fortune. An endless stretch of blue sky overhangs an ocean of pastel greens and blues framed by coconut palms. Next to a long wooden dock with chairs at its end sits a fast-looking boat with twin outboards.
I take a seat in McAfee's front yard. Under Belize law I'm not trespassing since the beach is public property. Behind me the wood-sided, thatch-roofed home painted purple and yellow sits eerily empty with one porch light on. A rusted telescope on a balcony stares off to the horizon. The only sound is the wind.
The day before, I met "Tiffany" here. She claimed to be one of McAfee's girlfriends, one of seven. They all live together, sharing McAfee's houses and fantasies. He's 67. Tiffany says she's 23 and they have been lovers for three years. The girl beside her gives no name and only says she's 19.
Tiffany says she's not seen or heard from McAfee in nearly a week -- not since the neighbor, Greg Faull, was discovered dead and McAfee went into hiding.
Three arrested in killing in Belize
Now a day later the 23-year-old had vanished too.
Half a dozen dogs lie sorry-looking or listless in the yard -- thin, hungry and thirsty. They're lucky to be alive.
Dogs just might be the key to this mystery.
Officials say their barking and aggressive behavior was a frequent source of friction between McAfee and Faull, a 52-year-old contractor who retired to Belize from Florida and lived next door.
On November 9, McAfee told police someone poisoned four of his dogs. Tiffany said to put them out of their misery he shot each one in the head and buried them.
Then two days later someone shot Faull in the head in his own living room. A 9mm shell was found on the second step on the first floor, and Faull was found dead on the second floor.
And McAfee had vanished.
Police say they only want to talk to the famous internet security guru.
Instead, McAfee talks only to reporters. Over a phone, he gives out all sorts of colorful quotes and tantalizing hints of his whereabouts, each contradicting the previous. He talks about moving every four hours and sleeping on a lice-infested bed, of watching "Rawhide" on an old tube TV, then claiming to be in a house not far from his compound, then no, actually he's been in his compound the whole time, saying he doesn't like the look of the traffic on the highway. This island has no highway.
This almost daily "catch me if you can" game is wearing thin on investigators. The longer it all goes on, the more suspicious police become.
Police want to question McAfee
So five days ago they dug up his dogs. I found the partially exposed graves next to a trash pit in the back behind his priceless ocean view. The flies led me there. I asked a caretaker if he was here when the police came for them. "Yes" he said, then added another tick up the strange-o-meter by revealing, "They cut off their heads."
Since only the heads had bullets, the investigators put the rest of the remains back in the holes, then hurriedly and poorly recovered them.
A source close to the investigation said authorities probably want to see if the slugs in the dogs match the one in Faull.
I stepped on the gas and my golf cart sputtered to life. Like me, it seemed to dread the bone-jarring return to town. My phone beeped; a local friend texted me to say McAfee had just proclaimed a $25,000-dollar (just over 12,000 U.S. dollars) reward for information leading to the arrest of Faull's killer.
A murdered neighbor, headless dogs and a millionaire on the run granting interviews and now offering a lottery-like reward.
Maybe someone could make up a more intriguing story ... but it wouldn't be easy.
John McAfee offers Bze$25,000 for information leading to the arrest of Faull's murderer
Anti-virus founder John McAfee, who is wanted for questioning by the police is offering a BZE$25,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the person(s) responsible for the murder of US National Gregory Faull. According to NBC Dateline correspondent Keith Morrison, who is currently on Ambergris Caye, McAfee called him this morning (Sunday, November 18th) and during the telephone interview McAfee not only offered the reward but claimed that he is at his home here on the island, and not in hiding.
In an interview today with The San Pedro Sun, Morrison said, "One of the claims he [McAfee] is making, and I challenged him on a good many of those claims, is that he does not have any intention of giving himself up, not now not ever." Morrison reiterated that McAfee continues to have no faith in the Belize Police Department, even when he is being offered to turn himself in with his attorney and television cameras. "He is fixated on the notion that the police and the political establishment of the police are unbelievably corrupted and there is nothing he can do except stay in hiding," said Morrison.
Morrison told The SP Sun that McAfee also offered a reward to anyone who has information that can lead to an arrest of Gregory Faull murder or murders. "He is offering a $25,000 Belize reward for information that will lead to the arrest, capture and conviction for the person(s) responsible for the murder of Gregory," said Morrison.
McAfee has been in hiding since, Sunday November 11th when the body of his neighbor, Gregory Faull was discovered in his two story home some six miles north of San Pedro on Ambergris Caye. Faull's body was found on the same day. The police are looking for John McAfee, as a "person of interest" in the investigation but maintain that he is only wanted for questioning. McAfee has managed to avoid all police officials but has spoken with The San Pedro Sun, international press and online media.
McAfee told Morrison he is aware of who is visiting his property, claiming that he is at his beach side property on northern Ambergris Caye and can watch the activities around his property.

John McAfee has his own website now. www.whoismcafee.com. Here what is happening in his own words. Not some people trying to keep the tourism trade going.

the John McAfee hunt won't prevent or encourage me to go to SP....he's one man living 6 miles north of town....I could care less. I'm sure by now though there are some pretty good John McAfee jokes making the rounds in the local watering holes!
The guy however is an idiot....who does he think trained and probably oversee the Gang Suppression Unit? He ought to do a little research. Now he wants people to write their Congressman to sanction Belize? For what? What an arrogant delusional a**! He's a media whore who more than likely killed his neighbor or arranged to have his neighbor killed. They dug up his dogs to recover the bullets...he better pray that those bullets don't match the one in his neighbor.
A point about the dogs only. They are now free to roam more than before and are pretty intimidating. I live nearby and tried to get by yesterday and the one guy at the compound apologised when they charged down the dock barking at me and assured me they wouldn't bite, but as a dog lover it's still intimidating. I'm sure a non-dog person / tourist would be pretty scared.
Furthermore, they are looking weary, thin and neglected. One of them came down to where I live the day before and I fed him, he used to be beautiful but is now thin and has ticks all around his eyes. Is it possible to do anything to ensure the wellbeing of them so they are fed, given water and taken care of? Saga?
