University professor George Zinkhan is now one of "America's Most Wanted" and a picture of him taken in February was released to the media.

Zinkhan, wanted in connection with the murder of three people Saturday, has not been seen since he dropped his children off with a neighbor Saturday afternoon. He was last seen driving a 2005 maroon Jeep Liberty Renegade.

"America's Most Wanted" posted Zinkhan on their Web site, and the show is considering a segment on the crime and the hunt for its show on May 16

The FBI has taken over the investigation, led by Special Agent in Charge Gregory Jones out of the Atlanta office. In an interview with the Atlanta Journal Constitution, Jones said not finding the Jeep as of yet is unusual.

"It is quite disconcerting that vehicle has not been sighted," Jones told the AJC. "We're led to believe it is perhaps out of the public view, housed in a garage, underground or wherever. In most cases vehicles used in the commission of a crime such as this are usually still in the possession of the individual and either sighted later on and/or recovered. That hasn't been the case here."
