ChatGPT Query Linked to Double Murder

0:00It's April 28th. This is Canada News Today, your AI-powered local news. A 26-year-old guy named Hisham Avogarbi is charged with the premeditated murders of two University of South Florida doctoral students from Bangladesh, Zimil Leimon, and the Heated Bristy, both 27. Days before they vanished on April 16th, he asked Chad G.P.T. What happens if you stuff a body in a garbage bag and toss it in a dumpster, plus stuff? Not changing his car's vehicle ID number and keeping a gun without a license. The chat bot flagged it as dangerous. Prosecutors dropped that detail in a pre-trial report over the weekend and evidence piled up quick at their off-campus apartment, like blood trails. The victim's IDs and cards in the trash compactor and bloody clothes. Location data from phones and license plate readers put Avogarbi's car, Elemon's phone, and his own device near the Howard Franklin Bridge, and Clearwater Beach. The victims were tight, studying geography and chemical engineering, even talking marriage,

Folks are reeling, especially since Leimon shared the place with Avogarbi who had a bandaged pinky and was moving boxes to the trash that night. Florida's Attorney General is expanding an investigation into Chad G.P.T., now folding in this case after a similar one at Florida State University last year. Lime and staff body turned up in a trash bag on the bridge Friday, Bristy's nearby Sunday, both unidentified at first. Avogarbi, a former USF management student and US citizen, got napped Friday at his family's home during a domestic call. He barricaded himself, but surrendered to SWAT. He's held without bond, hearing Tuesday as detectives keep piecing it together.
