bystanders, most of the victims are teenagers or in the early 20 s. police say large groups of people were walking around the downtown area when it happened, at least one person is in custody. yesterday, president biden spoke to graduates at the university of delaware where he addressed the recent mass shootings in buffalo and uvalde, and called on americans to make the nations safer. will visit uvalde today to meet the victims families. now back to dateline. now back to dateline welcome back to dateline. i m craig melvin. john mcafee life on the land ended when he suddenly popped up with his young lover in guatemala. wanted by authorities in belize for questioning in the murder of greg faull, mcafee told reporters he was now seeking political asylum from the persecution he suffered their.
the jungle started to infect him, almost like a virus. then came the mystery his neighbor suddenly found dead. there was blood all over the floor. everyone was crying. i said, no, it can t possibly happen. and the millionaire suddenly on the run, taunting authorities, launching a chase, an international hide and seek hunt. it seemed like it s fiction. it doesn t seem real. he may have eluded the police, but he did not elude us. so, neither you nor anybody representing you went over to greg faull s house and shot him through in the head? no, sir. can you possibly get any inkling of the truth? you will not believe the things that happen. get ready for some serious heart of darkness here.
overpowered greg if he d had a chance. you know? i suspect that he just never had a chance. given the bad blood between gregg faull and john mcafee then, the belizian police thought it would be a good idea to walk down the beach and have a word with the reclusive millionaire. the trouble was, they couldn t find him. he d up and disappeared. in short order, the police declared mcafee the primary suspect and the news flashed around the world. the tech millionaire is now a fugitive. a celebrity manhunt in the tropics? that was like catnip. i pack my bags, and booked a flight to belize. coming up, a one-time member of mcafee s harem let s us into his layer. you tried to shoot him? yes. when dateline continues.
to a less ominous sounding person of interest. we still think he s here in belize. rafael martinez was the police spokesman. we believe that he will come in. if you find him, then you will arrest him? we will detain him, and we will ask him some questions. but undermanned and underfunded, the belizian police force seemed equipped to actually hunt him down. a man of means like mcafee, a man who clearly did not want to be found. what s your message for john mcafee? i would want to appeal to him, and tell him please come, and let s bring a closure to this case, and let s all carry on with our lives. but john mcafee seems to be toying with the police, leaving clues in his blog, hinting he might be hiding right under their noses, cleverly disguised as a tourist or a street vendor. been in public many, many times. i went shopping in public the other day, went buy some strawberries. our search is quite unlike that of the police.
the romance eventually ended. amy remained close enough to mcafee to get him on the phone for us. how are you doing? i m doing all right, sir, under the circumstances. mcafee wouldn t say where he was hiding, but he did hint he was close by. i did notice your boats. you re guys and one of my boats, giving me your business. and i m very very glad for that business. we were in one of your boats, you are absolutely right. was he watching us? where the police watching us also, hoping we might lead them to him? listen, can you tell us anything that will clear up some questions about what happened over the course of that weekend, when your neighbor was killed? you know, i have no idea what happened to my neighbor.
