An unidentified body was found Sunday in a waterway located in the search area for the remaining missing University of South Florida student.
The remains were recovered in the water near the Howard Frankland Bridge in Tampa, Fla. where the body of 27-year-old USF graduate student Zamil Limon was found Friday, officials said in a Sunday press release.
The body had not been identified as of Monday as the search continues for Limon’s girlfriend, Nahida Bristy, 27.
The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office put out a plea for any information or dashcam footage from the Howard Frankland Bridge between 1 a.m. and 5 a.m. April 17 on X late Monday afternoon.
The 27-year-old couple from Bangladesh, both graduate students at USF, were last seen on April 16.
Limon’s roommate, Hisham Saleh Abugharbeih, was arrested and hit with a slew of charges linked to his death on Friday.
Before his surrender, Abugharbeih had barricaded himself inside a Tampa home while SWAT teams swarmed his neighborhood, WTSP reported.Â
The raid related to the couple’s disappearance came after officials deemed the pair to be “endangered,” without providing further details.
Abugharbeih was hit with failure to report a death and unlawfully moving a body charges — as well as domestic violence, battery, false imprisonment, and tampering with evidence, according to Chronister.
Limon — a doctoral student studying geography, environmental science and policy — was last seen on April 16 at 9 a.m. at his student apartment complex in Tampa.
His girlfriend Bristy, a chemical engineering student, was last seen at USF’s Natural and Environmental Sciences Building.
The pair were first reported missing by a friend who was unable to get in touch with either of them. According to investigators, both of their phones had been turned off.Â
The Post reached out to the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office and the Pinellas County Medical Examiner’s Office but did not immediately hear back Monday night.Â
