Athens, Ga.

Professor sought in triple murder: A nationwide manhunt was under way for a University of Georgia business professor suspected of killing his estranged wife and two other people near campus before fleeing. George Zinkhan, a marketing professor, is wanted for allegedly shooting his wife, Marie Bruce, and two of her friends during a party in Athens, while the couple’s two children sat nearby in Zinkhan’s car. Zinkhan then dropped the children at a friend’s house and fled in his red Jeep Liberty, police said. He was booked on a May 2 flight to Amsterdam, where he also teaches, but authorities believe he has not fled the country and might have committed suicide.
