It might just be me, but it now appears that the Motion for Pretrial Detention is no longer available. If any one knows another way I might be able to access it, please let me know and TIA.

I just checked and it's still there.

I just read an article from WFLA detailing the timeline that has lots of info. Not sure if this has been provided yet, but I will link the story below just in case:

Timeline

Oh thanks! It was just updated in the last hour!

Ok wow that WFLA article has a lot of detail probably part of what was in the Motion which for some reason I couldn't find in the database.

it looks like he planned the murder(s) in advance as opposed to being in an uncontrollable sudden rage. Even though it was planned he still made mistakes that anyone who's watched L&O or Dateline or any crime show wouldn't make.

He didn't realize the phones could be tracked, he didn't realize even if you've cleaned up blood luminol (I'm assuming that's what they used) will show exactly where the blood was. He threw incriminating things away in the dumpster/compactor at the apartment complex. All on top of not knowing you internet search history is out there forever.

I still can't get the reason for his trip to Sand Key through my thick skull. I'll look back I think someone told me why he went there not sure.

The poor third roommate. I don't know how he wasn't scared out of his mind in that apartment after the murders.

I'm glad they seem to have a lot of evidence. If they can't find Bristy soon I hope they convince him to tell them where she is. They could take the death penalty off the table in return for that info and let him spend the rest of his life in jail.

The motion for pretrial detention is attached as downloaded from the court’s website.
Zamil’s COD was multiple sharp force injuries (stabbed), and there’s no clear indication of what happened to Naheda but it seems likely she met the same fate. ZL’s clothing was retrieved from a dumpster (his body was unclothed when located) but, other than her shoes and maybe socks, NB’s were not.
I am grateful that the perp was both stupid and careless in committing this crime—the motion is packed with physical and digital evidence that makes it impossible (IMO) to entertain any doubt that HA callously and calculatedly carried out these murders.

Thank you for posting this. I'm also grateful he had no idea how to evade LE and so now they have a ton of evidence. I just really want to know why.

The CBS local affiliate channel 10 led the 11:00 news tonight with the recovery of a body from the water close to where ZL was recovered. I think Sleuther mentioned this earlier today. There’s no announcement yet on ID but they (CBS) clearly think it’s NB. Hopefully we’ll know in the morning.

Human remains have been found in the waterways in Tampa Bay, where authorities have been searching for the body of missing University of Florida doctoral student Nahida Bristy, Florida deputies announced late Sunday, as new court documents allege the suspect in the killing of Bristy and another student appeared to ask ChatGPT how to dispose of a body.

The remains were found in Pinellas County, and have not yet been identified. According to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office, the remains were found "in the area of Interstate 275 and 4th Street North," which is around the St. Petersburg side of the Howard Frankland Bridge.
