McAfee blogs about police seeking him in Belize

SAN PEDRO, Belize (AP) – Software company founder John McAfee says he’s hiding in plain sight, wearing a disguise as he watches police and reporters stake out his home – and blogging about it all.

In the latest twist in the highly publicized case, McAfee has started his own blog, in which he describes life on the lam after police in Belize called him a “person of interest” in the slaying of fellow American Gregory Viant Faull and asked him to turn himself in for questioning.

In phones interviews with The Associated Press, McAfee has never said where he’s hiding. But in his blog this week, he claims to have disguised himself as a grungy street peddler and a foul-mouthed German tourist, and claims he approached an Associated Press reporter outside his staked-out home on the Caribbean island of Ambergris Caye, and almost sold the reporter a wood carving.
