Guatemala City (CNN) -- Four poisoned dogs. A dead neighbor. A millionaire on the run. Come Thursday, deportation may be the latest twist to the saga of software mogul John McAfee. McAfee , who was on the run for weeks to evade questioning in his neighbor's death, was detained in Guatemala on Wednesday after entering the country illegally, officials there said. He may be sent back to Belize on Thursday so officials there can question him, said Francisco Cuevas, a spokesman for Guatemala's president. For those following the tale of McAfee, the man who amassed a fortune by running and then selling an antivirus software company named after him, this new twist should come as no surprise.
