- Limon, studying geography, environmental science & policy, was last seen at 9 a.m. in his Tampa residence, while Bristy, a chemical engineering student, was last seen at 10 a.m. in the NES Building on campus.
- A family friend reported being unable to contact both students on April 17, leading to missing persons reports and their entry into missing persons databases.
- Officials believe the two students, who are friends and may be together, disappeared within close proximity of each other, as Limon's residence is under 10 minutes from where Bristy was last seen.
- Police are requesting anyone with information about their whereabouts to contact the USF Police Department and have promised to provide updates as the investigation continues.
