1.) Zinkhan has been fired from his professorship at the University of Georgia.
2.) UD suggested in an earlier post that George Zinkhan has killed himself. Police now seem to be preparing us for that possibility:
… The longer it takes for authorities to find triple murder suspect George Zinkhan, the more likely it is that the UGA professor did something to hurt himself, police said Monday morning.
“That’s a strong possibility,” said Capt. Clarence Holeman of the Athens-Clarke County Police Department.
… [P]olice have been tracking Zinkhan’s cellphone, credit cards, ATM card and passport, but none of them has been used since he disappeared on Saturday.
No one has reported any sightings of Zinkhan or his vehicle, despite a nationwide alert for both…
3.) If he killed himself, how did he do it?
Like Jerry Wolff, a biology professor at St. Cloud State who killed himself by wandering deep into a national park and letting the elements take over, Zinkhan was a big outdoorsman who wrote poetry about hiking the Appalachian trail. Given his poetry and his love of nature, I’d guess that Zinkhan did something similar. Walked into the wild. Shot himself.
Unless Zinkhan has an accomplice in Amsterdam (where he has a house) with whom he acted incredibly quickly, chances are he’s dead.
