(Newser) – Two weeks after George Zinkhan allegedly murdered his wife and two men at a Georgia playhouse, police say they located the body of the fugitive marketing professor, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. Dogs found Zinkhan today about a mile from where his Jeep had been recovered in a wooded area near his home in Bogart, Ga. He apparently made an effort to hide before killing himself, police said.
