John McAfee is still on in hiding.
The founder of the anti-virus software company is reportedly hiding in the jungles of the central American nation of Belize.
McAfee has been on the run since Sunday, after the apparent murder of his next-door neighbor.
Police want to question him about the shooting.
Four of McAfee’s guard dogs were poisoned on Friday.
The neighbor had filed a noise complaint about their barking.
From his hide-out, the British-born millionaire fugitive has been in contact with Josh Davis, a journalist with Wired who is writing a big article on him.
On Wednesday, according to Davis, McAfee again protested his innocence “unequivocally, calmly and convincingly.”
McAfee claims he’s a victim of a government conspiracy.
Davis says McAfee is eccentric, “some would say crazy,” and admits to being paranoid.
