GA - Christoph Zahn, 21, Atlanta, 28 April 1992
Hale is also a suspect in the disappearance of Mitchell Manns. They found some of his property at Hale's mother's house.
If that weren't the case, I don't know why Hale would be a suspect in Manns' case. Other than him going missing from near Floyd County (where Cropper was last seen). Manns was in his late-30's (Zahn/Cropper were early-20's) and he was a lot pudgier than the other guys Hale is suspected of killing and/or abusing.

Can anyone direct me to any links or stories about Harry Hale prior to being arrested for credit card fraud? I know they said he was arrested in Kentucky in 1981 for indecent exposure. I have not been able to find any links to stories about how it was police said he was stalking men in bus stations, etc. Any thing related to him other than CZ is appreciated.
FWIW -- have no idea whether or not this is the same Harry Hale:
Man's bond set at $1M in shooting death, arson charges
Harry Hale, who had been arrested for the Christmas Eve shooting death of his brother, was formally charged with first-degree murder Tuesday afternoon, and his bond was set at $1

"Investigators said that Hale had a reputation for stalking bus stations and highways searching for young male transients in 1992. He is suspected of drugging and sexually assaulting young men in several states. There is speculation that he was connected to the 1990 disappearance of Mitchell Manns in Kentucky, but he has never been charged in that case.
Zahn's case remains unsolved, but foul play is suspected due to the circumstances involved in his disappearance.''
