He's charged in the deaths of Zamolimo and Nihida-Bristi, both 27 and from Bangladesh. If convicted, he could face the death penalty, though prosecutors have instead said if they'll go that route. He has a status hearing set for 9 a.m. Tuesday. The victim shared an off-campus apartment with a Bo-garbi and vanished on April 16. Limon was last seen there, and the pair had been talking marriage. Detectives tracked Limon's phone and Abergarbi's car using cell phone data and license plate readers to a bridge where Limon's stabbed body turned up. Friday. Sunday brought word of another body in a nearby waterway, likely Bristi's. Meanwhile, when cops questioned Abergarbi days after the disappearance, his pinky finger was bandaged, but he denied everything. The other roommate mentioned Abergarbi hauling boxes to the trash compactor that night,

Investigators hit paydirt with a search warrant, spotting blood trails from the kitchen to Abergarbi's room, and soaked carpet there. Limon's bedroom held Bristi's ID and cards. Prosecutors also revealed Abergarbi asked, chat GPT, days earlier what happens if you bag a body and toss it in the dumpster? The AI flagged it as. Dangerous.
