it seems odd that the homocidal professor on the loose isn't getting more attention

[Enrique]

maybe it is, I don't know. Is it getting attention?

It seems like a story that would normally interest a lot of people, plus there's a practical consideration: he's loose, people should be warned.


edit: I should say "alleged" homicidal professor...

Feds can't find Ga. shooting suspect's passport

By RUSS BYNUM – 33 minutes ago

ATHENS, Ga. (AP) — The manhunt for a University of Georgia professor suspected in the shooting deaths of his wife and two men shifted away from this campus town Monday as the FBI revealed he has a plane ticket for the Netherlands later this week and left behind an empty passport wallet.

George M. Zinkhan has not been seen since the shootings near campus Saturday, and law enforcement agencies nationwide have been enlisted in the search for the marketing professor, authorities said. His relatives also have been working to help Athens-Clarke County police and the FBI to find him, his brother told The Associated Press.

"We are doing all we can to prevent any additional violence," Chris Zinkhan said in an e-mail.

Gunfire erupted at a midday gathering of a local theater group at the Athens Community Theater. Killed were George Zinkhan's wife, 47-year-old attorney Marie Bruce, 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. Authorities say they don't know what motivated the shootings.

As classes resumed Monday on the campus where Zinkhan had taught since the 1990s, the university announced that the marketing professor had been fired. As a precaution, university police carried assault rifles as they patrolled on foot, but University Police Chief Jimmy Williamson said investigators believe Zinkhan had left Athens, 70 miles east of Atlanta.

13. He bought a ticket to the Netherlands...

he has a home there...so maybe that is where he fled to... the European friends of the 9/11 hijackers from the Netherlands and Germany didn't get any attention from the U.S. Media or FBI either...

3. I'm paying attention, but there's not much to know. He disappeared,

without a trace, last I heard. He was heading for an airport?

You're right, for all I know he's been captured!

[Captain Hilts]

4. I've been wondering where he's been wandering also. I mean, they KNOW who it is! nt

6. Hopefully, the psycho will be caught and brought to justice

10. He's a Business Prof.

Imagine if, say, he taught history or critical theory...

[JonLP24]

11. Not sure why it would be so special

There are plenty of people suspected of murder on the run.

[ProgressiveProfessor]

12. I am not homicidal (at least not much)

Seriously, it was odd to see how fast that disappeared.

14. The story has been all over the local news today.

15. Getting lots of attention on Ga. news.
