US professor killed himself
Authorities say Zinkhan and his wife were having marital problems.
ATLANTA (Georgia) - POLICE say a wanted University of Georgia professor found dead in the woods over the weekend shot himself but left no suicide note.

Cadaver dogs found George Zinkhan's body in a grave he dug not far from his home, ending a two-week manhunt.

Police say he shot his wife and two other people to death outside a community theater in Athens on April 25.

Authorities released other new details about the crime Tuesday, saying Zinkhan targeted Clemson University economist Tom Tanner before shooting his wife, though they didn't say why.

Jim Fullington with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation says the third victim, another man involved with the theater, was 'at the wrong place at the wrong time.'
