ATHENS, Ga. -- Athens-Clarke County police said on Friday accused shooter George Zinkhan's vehicle was found.

Authorities said the red Jeep Liberty was found in on Cleveland Road near Fowler Mill Road in Bogart, an Athens suburb in northwestern Clarke County.

But Zinkhan was not with the vehicle. Police said residents should still consider him dangerous.

Jones said the vehicle was positioned in a way to make the scene look like an accident.

A nearby school, Cleveland Road Elementary, was placed on lockdown as a precaution, officials said.

Gunfire erupted Apr. 25 at a gathering of a local theater group at the Athens Community Theater. Killed were Zinkhan's wife, Marie Bruce, 47, an attorney, and two members of her theater group, Ben Teague, 63, and Tom Tanner, 40. Zinkhan, 57, disappeared after the shootings in a red Jeep Liberty.

Zinkhan was a marketing professor at the University of Georgia.

Classes resumed Monday, two days after the shootings, but security was very tight, with police carrying rifles around campus. University Police Chief Jimmy Williamson said there was little reason to believe Zinkhan was still in Athens.

In a federal court affidavit filed earlier this week, FBI Special Agent Gregory McClendon said Delta Airlines confirmed Zinkhan had a ticket to Amsterdam for Saturday.

The affidavit did not say when the ticket was purchased.

Zinkhan has a house in Amsterdam, where he also teaches. The Vrije Universiteit (Free University) confirmed Zinkhan has taught part-time since April 2007, visiting for about six weeks each year.

Meanwhile, a memorial service for Ben Teague, 63, is scheduled for 11 a.m. Friday in the chapel on North Campus at the University of Georgia, followed by a public reception on Herty Field.

Heh. Does this guy really think he can get away?

[Rev.Reverence]

Fuck-the-what-in-the-theater? oOOo...I can not wait to get the "full scoop" on this dirty lil' whatever it is...

[Soulrev]

Crazy....

[jynxxxedangel]

Sounds to me as if this guy's wifey decided to spurn him, for someone in her theatre group.

It never ceases to amaze me, how some people who seem so "together" and going places in life, can end up doing wacked things like this.

Yah well visiting Amsterdam used to be a dream of mine. I have only smoked opium once and wanted to again legally and in a 'coffee house' try some shrooms...go to a party or two...buy a red district girl...the works.

Just once.

But now I hear it’s become a getaway place for people on the run full of pick pockets and violent types....

I had the same thoughts after reading 3 more articles on him...she was boning someone in the theatre group. The thing that bothered me was the 63 yr old...isn't that one yr shy of getting all the senior benefits? SSI, Medicare....retirement and discounts at Old Country Buffet. Free pool time at the parks building...they get all kinds of perks. Kinda looking forward to it myself. I figure at 44 (and the prediction from psychics Is I will live to be 99 like most of the women in my family) I am only half way through life. 63 really isn't that old...people just abuse themselves so much they die younger mostly from obesity related illness.

Just came across this interesting bit of news, at CNN.com/crime

(CNN) May 11, 2009 -- The body of a University of Georgia professor accused of killing three people was found Saturday buried in woods near Athens, Georgia, authorities said.

George Zinkhan, a professor at the University of Georgia, disappeared after the slayings of his wife and two others.

George Zinkhan, 57, is suspected of fatally shooting his wife and two other people last month outside a community theater in Athens, which is home to the University of Georgia.

Cadaver dogs discovered the body with two guns in a wooded area of northwest Clarke County, about a mile from where Zinkhan's red Jeep Liberty was found last week, Athens-Clarke Police Chief Joseph Lumpkin said.

Athens-Clarke County police confirmed the identity of the body, citing results from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.

The guns are like those authorities believe were used in the shootings, Lumpkin said.

The body was found "beneath the earth," Lumpkin said, without any clothes.

"A person who's not accustomed to the woods would never have found the body," he said.

Significant "efforts" were undertaken to conceal the body's location, Jim Fullington of the GBI said.*

Authorities say Zinkhan fatally shot Marie Bruce, 47, Zinkhan's wife and a prominent Athens attorney, Tom Tanner, 40, and Ben Teague, 63, on April 25.

The victims all were associated with the Town and Gown Players, a theater group that was holding a reunion picnic at the time of the shootings.

Zinkhan arrived while the Town and Gown event was under way and got into a disagreement with his wife, police said.

Police believe he went to his car -- where the couple's children apparently were waiting -- and returned with two handguns.

In addition to the three deaths, two other people were wounded, police said.

After the shooting, Zinkhan left with his children -- ages 8 and 10 -- in the car, police said. He drove to a neighbor's home in nearby Bogart, Georgia, where he lived, and left the children with the neighbor.

Authorities put out bulletins across the nation for Zinkhan after the shootings and revealed that he had purchased a May 2 ticket in March to the Netherlands, where he owns a house.

The day of the flight passed without any sign of Zinkhan.

He had been an endowed marketing professor at the University of Georgia's Terry College of Business. The university fired Zinkhan the day after the shootings.

*What I want to know, is WHO hid this guy's body???

WEIRD......

From what I heard on the news, they are saying it looks like he burried himself. I'm frankly slightly curious on just how he did that.

[Homicidalheathen]

yah I doubt seriously he buried himself...maybe they just don't want to go after the person(s) who did their job for them...in a way.
