He was named as the prime suspect in a triple homicide before authorities announced on May 9, 2009 that they had found and identified Zinkhan's body.

Zinkhan was named the prime suspect in the April 25, 2009, shooting deaths of his wife and two other people, Tom Tanner and Ben Teague, outside the Athens Community Theatre in Athens, Georgia.

The murders occurred during a picnic reunion of the Town & Gown Players, and all three killed were active in local theater productions.

Two bystanders were injured by bullet fragments.

According to neighbors and colleagues, there had been no advance signs of trouble.

Police said Zinkhan and his wife, Marie Bruce, were having “marital difficulties,” that Tom Tanner appeared to be his “specific target” in the shootings, and that Ben Teague was “at the wrong place at the wrong time.” Tanner was shot first, police said.

On the same day, "Zinkhan was charged with three counts of murder and a state arrest warrant was issued in Clarke County, Georgia. A federal arrest warrant was issued on April 26, 2009, after he was charged with unlawful flight to avoid prosecution."

Zinkhan's red Jeep Liberty was found on the night of April 30, 2009, in northwest Clarke County, Georgia.

Cadaver dogs located Zinkhan's body on May 9, 2009, approximately one mile from the Jeep.

Investigators said that Zinkhan used a shovel to dig a 15 to 18 in grave in the woods behind Cleveland Road Elementary, lay down in it, took an old wooden pallet he had covered with dirt and debris and pulled it over top of the hole.

He then fired a single shot from a .38-caliber handgun into his head.

Zinkhan's body was claimed by a son from a previous marriage one day before it was scheduled for burial in a pauper's grave.
