Janice and John McAfee were married in 2013 after meeting in 2012, Daily Mail reported. They met when he hired her as a prostitute and paid her for a day and a night together, ABC News reported.

Janice told ABC News that he saved her from trafficking and allowed her to reconnect with her son.

Janice said in a 20/20 interview: “It was, I don’t know how to say it, magical – ’cause he saw the hurt that was there,'” Daily Mail reported. She said he “thought I was worthy enough of a second chance.”

Janice McAfee is about 37 years younger than John McAfee, Daily Mail reported.ABC News described John McAfee as being “disarmingly sweet” toward Janice. The report described her as clapping her hand over his mouth sometimes during the interview to stop him from talking about his neighbor who was murdered or to prevent him from going off on tangents not connected to the interview.

In an interview with The Sun, Janice said that she had to pass on information about John to a “criminal underworld” during the first years of their marriage. She said she was asked to provide information on where he was and to hide poison in his food.

She said she was too scared to disobey them at first and didn’t tell McAfee what was going on at first.

John McAfee, meanwhile, told The Sun that he figured out what was happening on his own and understood that “she was in a hard place.” He said it was a “beautiful moment” when she was honest with him.

After living in a compound in Tennessee, they ultimately left to live on a yacht to avoid arrest and extradition, John McAfee told The Sun.

On June 20, she tweeted a Happy Father’s Day message to John McAfee while he was in jail. She told him that he was loved and appreciated. In her message, she shared that he may be polarizing but is always honest.

She tweeted, in part: “Now the US authorities are determined to have John die in prison to make an example of him speaking out against the corruption within their government agencies.

McAfee was found dead hours after the country's highest court approved his extradition to the US, where he was wanted on tax-related criminal charges that carry a prison sentence of up to 30 years.
