I wonder if this type of Nigerian internet offering is what missing record producer Christian Julian Irwin got caught up in...
Search For Missing Music Producer Intensifies
Quote:
TOPANGA, Calif. -- Sheriff's investigators conducted another search Thursday in a section of Topanga Canyon where a Grammy-nominated music producer disappeared after calling a friend to report people with dogs were chasing him.
Christian Julian Irwin, 47, made the call on his cell phone about 3:30 a.m. Sunday from a propane station near his Topanga Canyon home, telling his friend he was in danger and needed help, said Sgt. Diane Hecht, of the Sheriff's Headquarters Bureau.
The longtime friend went to the station at 525 S. Topanga Canyon Blvd. but couldn't find Irwin, Hecht said.
Soon after, Irwin called again, saying he was being chased downstream by "some people and their dogs," Hecht said.
Before hanging up, the producer told his childhood friend: "It might be about the money," Hecht said, adding the friend tried unsuccessfully to contact Irwin again....
....Irwin, who has been nominated for three Grammy awards, recently got mixed up with a Nigerian Internet offering, his family told reporters earlier this week.
Investigators believe the money to which Irwin referred in the phone call has to do with the Nigerian affair.
Irwin was spooked when he received a check for $50,000 in the mail last week, said his sister, Sharon Riolo.
"That frightened him. All of the sudden it became a little bit scary," she told reporters, adding that Irwin returned the check.
