Prosecutors say suspect in missing students’ killings asked ChatGPT about disposing of a body
Prosecutors say evidence from the apartment and bridge search led to two first-degree murder charges against the roommate.
- On Friday, authorities arrested Hisham Abugharbieh, 26, for the murders of University of South Florida doctoral students Zamil Limon and Nahida Bristy, both 27, after Limon's remains were recovered in trash bags on the Howard Frankland Bridge.
- Prosecutors allege Abugharbieh asked ChatGPT about putting a person in a garbage bag on April 13, three days before the students vanished, later writing, "How would they find out," after the AI warned the inquiry was dangerous.
- Investigators discovered blood-stained clothing and personal items belonging to Limon and Bristy in a dumpster near their Avalon Heights apartment, with blood traces found in the hallway leading to Abugharbieh's bedroom.
- Human remains were recovered Sunday near Interstate 275, and while unidentified, the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office presumes Bristy is dead based on the "volume of blood" found at the shared apartment.
- Abugharbieh is being held without bond and faces two counts of first-degree murder with a weapon; a court hearing is scheduled for Tuesday.
