One Year Since John McAfee Fled Belize
Velcroman1 writes "It has been a year since fallen software magnate John McAfee fled his adopted home and country — wanted by police for questioning in connection to the murder of his neighbor. In that year, the often eccentric programming pioneer led the media and the public on a wild ride with his outlandish behavior and off-the-wall statements during a catch-me-if you-can escape from the small Central American country. McAfee is a person of interest in the investigation surrounding the murder of his neighbor, American ex-pat Gregory Faull, near his compound in San Pedro Town on the island of Ambergris Caye. No headway has been made in the investigation — and authorities in Belize are still looking to speak with McAfee. 'Nothing has really changed. It's not a closed case,' police spokesman Raphael Martinez said. 'He is still a person of interest.'"
Thanks for no update.
At least he brought us this.
continues to remain dead.
They probably got a false positive on McAfee. Not the first time.

Mmhmm, what a wild ride. According to everyone he ever knew who talked to the media, back in the day, he was an asshole. After that he became an asshole. Then he started selling drugs. On his way out of the country he was an asshole. Then on his way to the US he was an assholes. Now, a year later, he's an asshole. So much has changed lately!
I believe the truth lay somewhere in-between what the Belize police are telling us and what McAfee is telling us. His house did burn to the ground right before it was supposed to be sold after all. I suspect that McAfee was bribing and extorting public officials so he could continue his illegal activities but those bribes didn't quite cover murder. So they ran him out of the country but have no interest in a full investigation as it would incriminate their own officials in his prior hijinks.

It may be only one year since he fled Belize, but it's been many, many years since anybody cared. Please cut out the front-page spam.
If the Belize police really thought McAfee was behind the murder they would request extradition, no?
They want him for questioning not for murder. Not answering questions is not an extraditable offence (unless your last name is Assange)
We need a "+1 -- nice sig" moderation.

Uh...it's called the Democratic and Republican Parties.
