Hikers along the Appalachian Trail were warned Wednesday George Zinkhan, a University professor accused of killing three people Saturday, may be in the area.

“Mr. Zinkhan was a hiker in the past and did hike on the Appalachian Trail,” U.S. Park Ranger Eric Barron told the Associated Press. A notice posted on the Appalachian Trail Conservancy’s Web site warns Zinkhan may have a gun and advises people to call 911 if he is spotted.

The Appalachian Trail runs more than 2,100 miles from Georgia to Maine. Zinkhan was last seen driving a maroon 2005 Jeep Liberty Renegade with Georgia tag AIX 1376.
