Police Find Murder Suspect's Passport

Athens-Clarke County police say they've found the passport of a University of Georgia professor suspected of killing his wife and two others outside a community theater. Police say the passport of George Zinkhan was found inside the wrecked Jeep uncovered Friday in a ravine a few miles from his home. Authorities say the marketing professor never showed up Saturday for a flight he had scheduled to Amsterdam prior to the April 25 shootings. Zinkhan is accused of killing his wife, Marie Bruce, 63-year-old Ben Teague and 40-year-old Tom Tanner as they gathered for a picnic. Two others were hit by bullet fragments.

UGA Prof Sought In Shootings

A nationwide search is underway for a University of Georgia professor suspected in the killings of three people in Athens Saturday afternoon. Authorities say 57-year-old George Zinkhan shot and killed his ex-wife and two men outside the Athens Community Theatre Saturday at 12:30 just off the UGA campus. Police say his Zinkhan’s two children were in his Jeep Liberty when the killings occurred--he then dropped the children off with a neighbor in nearby Bogart.
