Overview
- Deputies from Hillsborough and Pinellas recovered human remains Sunday afternoon in the water near Fourth Street North by the Howard Frankland Bridge in St. Petersburg.
- Officials have not identified the remains, which are now with the Pinellas County Medical Examiner for testing and confirmation.
- Law enforcement has not linked the discovery to missing University of South Florida doctoral student Nahida Bristy, who is still listed as missing.
- Search teams used boats and a helicopter to comb mangrove-lined waterways along a public path, with a scene that stretched for hundreds of yards.
- The recovery occurred in the same area where USF doctoral student Zamil Limon was found Friday after investigators arrested his roommate, Hisham Abugharbieh, on two counts of first-degree murder with a weapon.
