Hello, everyone, and welcome back to another episode of True Crime with Kendall Rae. Thank you so very much for joining me today. And if you're new to the show, make sure to click subscribe or follow if you are listening. And that way you'll never miss an episode from me. Now today, you guys, we have a very, very disturbing, very recent, just absolutely absurd case that desperately needs more coverage. It has been breaking over the last couple of months, and I am really surprised not many people seem to be talking about it. But it certainly needs the exposure. And I first heard about this case when I was just scrolling social media one night and And this video popped up on my feed. And as you can see, it is quite shocking.
Truly a what the fuck is going on here type of moment. And for my audio only listeners, we're currently looking at a video of a college age student wearing only a blue towel around his waist, and his hands are in the air as he's approaching a SWAT team. So obviously, this grabbed my attention. And in that moment, so many questions started running through my mind. Who is this person? Why is he only in a towel? What has he done? And I just had to know more. So I'm sure you are wondering how we got here. And once I started digging into this case and getting some of those answers, I knew this was a case I wanted to talk about that needed to be talked about. And like I said, I'm just so shocked that more people don't know about it.
I'm going to be telling you guys about the horrific murders of two PhD students. Now, I hope I am getting the pronunciation of their names right. I believe it's Shamil Limon and Nahida Bristi. But I have heard some sources refer to her last name as Bristi, which is quite possible. Because the majority of the sources that I have seen cover the case are saying Bristi, I'm going to go ahead and go with that for this episode. But like I said, it's very possible that I'm getting that wrong. So apologies if I am. Now, I first heard about their murders while I was on maternity leave, and I was just so disturbed by the details of this case and the fact that they, you know, were two seemingly wonderful people, very, very smart.
And what happened to them is just... hard to even wrap your mind around obviously i was taking time off during maternity leave to recover and take care of my baby but i made a note that i wanted to cover this pretty soon after i came back and now that we have even more access to information it felt like the appropriate time Before getting into this episode, I just wanted to thank you all for listening to and supporting my show and also any of the Mile Higher Media shows. Your support makes it possible for us to continue funding grants through my foundation, Higher Hope, which supports victims of violent crimes, their families, and like-minded nonprofits. And with that, let's get into today's case.
starting with the evening of Thursday, April 16th, 2026. That's when friends of Bangladeshi students Jamil Limon and Nahida Bristi first noticed that something wasn't right. Neither of them were answering their phones, and both of them had missed out on plans that were previously made. Now, for Nahida, she didn't show up for plans with a friend, which she did confirm she would have shown up for when they spoke on the phone at 2.14 p.m. that day. Now, as for Jamil, He was also unreachable by friends and fellow students and then later a professor who he had planned to meet up with before finalizing his thesis. Both of them were international students at the University of South Florida in Tampa and had only been in the United States for a short period of time.
Jamil first came to the States in 2024 and Nahida in 2025, and it was on campus where the two of them met. Now, he was getting his PhD in geography and environmental science and policy, and she was getting her PhD in chemical engineering.
