<p>Software engineer John McAfee faked his death last summer and is living in the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/united-states">United States</a>, his ex-girlfriend claims without evidence in a new <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/netflix" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Netflix</a> documentary that is set to air tomorrow.</p>
<p>“I don’t know if I should say, but two weeks ago, after his death, I got a call from Texas: ‘It’s me, John. I paid off people to pretend that I am dead, but I am not dead,’” ex-girlfriend Samantha Herrera <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/08/23/john-mcafee-faked-his-death-ex-girlfriend-claims-in-netflix-doc/">claims</a> in the documentary “Running With the Devil: The Wild World of John McAfee.”</p>
<p>McAfee was awaiting extradition to the U.S. on tax evasion charges when he was found dead in a Barcelona prison cell, The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/software-legend-murder-suspect-john-mcafees-corpse-still-in-morgue-year-after-alleged-suicide">reported</a>. The 75-year-old developer created the first commercial anti-virus software, which bore his name, but led a bizarre life fueled by drugs and conspiracies, and was widely suspected of killing a neighbor on the tropical island where they lived.</p>
<p>Herrera claims without evidence that McAfee told her that “there are only three persons in this world that know I’m still alive.”</p>
<p>Charlie Russell, who directed the documentary, was stunned by Herrera’s claim and did not know what to make of it.</p>
<p>“I don’t know what I think and I don’t think she does,” Russell <a href="https://www.esquire.com/uk/culture/a40953177/john-mcafee-documentary-director-interview/">said</a>. “She says it, then she looks at the camera, and I can’t work out whether she thinks it’s real or not. She’s someone who was very angry at John.&#8221;</p>
<p>McAfee had been jailed for eight months after being arrested in Spain following years on the run from U.S. law enforcement. His death was deemed a suicide, but McAfee’s widow, Janice McAfee, said he was not suicidal. She <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/john-mcafees-corpse-still-spanish-morgue-year-after-his-death-2022-06-23/">circulated</a> a petition to prompt Spanish authorities to release his body.</p>
<p>McAfee’s survivors believe the autopsy that determined the mercurial mogul had killed himself was flawed, and sought more study of his body. A judge denied the request, and the family has appealed that ruling. Meanwhile, McAfee’s body remains in the morgue pending the resolution of the case.</p>
<p>McAfee, who ran for president on a third-party ticket in 2016 and 2020, sold his software company in 1994 for a reported $100 million. He reportedly lost nearly all of his fortune in the financial crisis of 2008, but kept enough to live a lavish lifestyle on the Belize island of Ambergris Caye. In 2012, Belize police announced he was a person of interest in the killing of American Gregory Faull, 52, who was shot to death in his home near McAfee’s. Faull had allegedly complained about McAfee’s dogs.</p>
