LOS ANGELES - The nearly weeklong search for a Grammy-nominated producer ended Friday after a resident spotted the man sitting naked in a backyard creek, washing his jeans.
The Topanga Canyon resident found a distraught Christian Julian Irwin saying he feared he was being pursued by Nigerians who had contacted him in an Internet scam, sheriff’s Capt. Ray Peavy said.

Authorities began looking for Irwin on Sunday after he made a panicked phone call to a friend, saying he was being pursued by people with dogs. He told his friend he was running through water and had lost his glasses and shoes in a creek.

The most bizarre element in the case is Irwin's recent involvement in a “Nigerian” Internet scam. The swindle involves e-mailed appeals for advance money to help move large sums out of Nigeria. Victims are told they’ll get a big chunk of the fortune in exchange for their help.

Irwin is “an independent record producer and engineer whose work has brought three Grammy Nominations, over 50 Gold and Platinum albums and an Emmy Award.” He has worked with David Bowie, Jimmy Webb, Vanessa Williams, David Crosby, Chaka Khan, Don Was, Art Garfunkel, Carly Simon, Queen Latifa, Isaac Hayes and Lisa Stansfield.

Now that she's paranoid, she can't trust anyone, so she is screwed! At least it will get her off the stuff.
sound like superman girl friend about two years ago
That is a double whammy, to be paranoid and be followed!
Cocaine is a helluva drug.

I like the Donald Trump quote: "It's OK to be a little paranoid because some people do want what you have".
fyi
Well, everyone seems convinced it's drugs but just to put an alternative viewpoint out there, it could be schizophrenia. Schizophrenia usually strikes otherwise healthy people, usually relatively young people, without warning and it's very sad when it happens. I'd hate to be making fun of a man who's going through that.
Drugs! He was hopped up on some kind of mind altering substances.
Yep. It must have been the brown acid.
Well, OK, but stay away from the real pretty young widow that I'm going to help get the $8 million. She only has eyes for me - she said so in her e-mail.
Your relative should report immediately to the ONDCP because your relative appears to be the only case that actually conforms to their "reefer madness" propaganda. You could have a scientific breakthrough!
Addictive pot would be a second whole scientific breakthrough. You could be up for a Nobel Prize!
Go, quickly!
maybe he was trying to sell a car on Ebay
(moron)
I think you've watched Reefer Madness a few too many times.
(idiot)
Said Bob, the friendly neighborhood drug peddler.
By the way, nice selective quoting. Do you work for CNN?
No Blob, I do not.
(laughing @ your paranoia)
Blob? Well, wasn't that a witty retort.
Methamphetamine induced paranoia I'd say.
Why yes, it was.
