KESQ NewsChannel 3 Palm Springs, CA: Resident finds missing music producer in creek: "LOS ANGELES A Grammy-nominated music producer who vanished under odd circumstances six days ago has been found.
A Topanga Canyon resident contacted authorities today after spotting a naked man sitting in a backyard creek and washing his jeans.

Authorities say Christian Julian Irwin was found around 4-30 this afternoon. He agreed to go with police two hours later after authorities located his sister to calm him.

The Sheriff's Department says Irwin told authorities he was afraid he was being chased by Nigerians who had contacted him in an Internet scam.

He was taken to a hospital for examination.

The 48-year-old Irwin has produced recordings for Carly Simon and David Bowie. Authorities began looking for him on Sunday after he made a panicked phone call to a friend, saying he was being pursued by people with dogs.

The backyard where he was found was about a quarter-mile from where he made the call.

The Sheriff's Department says there's no evidence he was being chased."
