ZINKHAN UPDATE: Report of Jeep unfounded
Staff reports
Issue date: 4/29/09 Section: News
A woman reported a red Jeep matching the description of George Zinkhan III's parked in a neighbor's driveway in Bogart Saturday.
Becky Stonecipher said she saw the Jeep parked in Gail and Michael Harsh's driveway between 2 and 3 p.m. Saturday, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
"We were here all day [Saturday] and we didn't see any jeep, and it certainly didn't come down our driveway," Michael Harsh told The Red & Black in a telephone interview Tuesday afternoon.
Stonecipher gave the tip to police Sunday morning and told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution Tuesday morning police had yet to investigate her sighting.
But the police eventually followed up.
"[Police] have been here and asked about it," Harsh said. "But again, I don't think there was a red Jeep around here."
• Amsterdam's Vrije University plans on firing George Zinkhan, a school official told Volkskrant, a newspaper in the Netherlands.
The university posted a message on its Web site, writing in Dutch it was shocked by the report and "we only can guess at the motives of Mr. Zinkhan that we know as a calm and pardoned researcher."
In 2006 he was guest faculty with the economic sciences and business administration and he was appointed in April 2007 as a part-time faculty member.
• Funeral arrangements have yet to be finalized. Platt's Funeral Home of Augusta is managing arrangements for the Bruce family and Bernstein Funeral Home of Athens is managing arrangements for the Tanner and Teague families.
