The search for a University of Georgia professor who is the prime suspect in the shooting deaths of three people last weekend in Athens is focusing on a purchased plane ticket.According to authorities, George Zinkhan, 57, who allegedly gunned down his wife and two men off campus last Saturday, has a Delta Air Lines plane ticket in his name for this Saturday to fly to the Netherlands. Zinkhan reportedly left behind an empty passport wallet.
Zinkhan is alleged to have killed his wife, 47-year-old attorney Marie Bruce, and two members of her theater group, Ben Teague, 63, and Tom Tanner, 40. Zinkhan disappeared after the shootings in a red Jeep Liberty with Georgia plates.
The shooting victims were members of the Town & Gown Players, which was staging a showing of "Sherlock Holmes: The Final Adventure" at the theater. Members of the group were gathered for a reunion Saturday at the time of the shooting.
University officials noted on Monday that Zinkhan has been fired from his job as a marketing professor.
