john mcafee is a wanted man. police in belize naming him a person of interest in the murder of his neighbor. law enforcement thinks this guy is on the run. trace gallagheras the details. >> reporter: he's on the run and he's talk. he sold his cyber security firm in the 90s for $100 million and moved to a small island off the coast of belize. those who cover internet security say he went there to rescue the poors but said he got involved in drugs and prostitution. they claim he had vicious dogs that would often charge people on the beach. one of the people who complained about the dogs was his neighbor gregory faull. and the gun, the murder weapon matched one of the guns that john mcafee had. though he said that gun was confiscated months ago. mcafee contacted "wired" magazine saying he's innocent saying he was the target of the killer and the killer went to the wrong house and shot his neighbor. he says he's hiding out for his life. our top tech editor says in this case it's hard to know who to believe. >> i heard this man is a compulsive liar. there are reports police raided his house and found a trove of guns. so a lot of contradictory information. it
