Two doctoral students from the University of South Florida, Zamil Limon and Nahida Bristy, both 27 and originally from Bangladesh, have been reported missing. They were last seen in the Tampa area on April 16, with Limon last spotted at his residence and Bristy on the USF Tampa campus. Authorities, including the University of South Florida Police Department and the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office, are actively investigating their disappearance, conducting searches in multiple locations. Limon, who was preparing to present his doctoral thesis on AI in environmental science, had informed his family not to contact him due to his busy schedule. Bristy, studying chemical engineering, was known to keep in daily contact with her family. Their families are deeply concerned, as the pair had planned to travel to Bangladesh for summer break. Friends and family describe their disappearance as out of character and are urging anyone with information to come forward.
