Prosecutors say these Florida grad students murders were planned and the suspect messaged chat GPT before and after his victims vanished. 
Jamil Lemon and Nita Bristie were last seen alive April 16th. 
3 days earlier, the man's roommate, Hasham Abu Garbia, allegedly asked Chat GPT about putting someone in a trash bag and throwing them in a dumpster. 
According to this court filing from prosecutors, the AI chatbot replied that it sounds dangerous before the suspect asked how would they find out. 
Lemon and Bristie were both Bangladeshi doctoral students in Tampa. 
After they disappeared, the suspect allegedly sent Chat GPT several more messages, including, "Has there been someone who survived a sniper bullet to the head?" 
Now, Florida's attorney general says his office is investigating Open AI, the company behind the popular AI chatbot. 
Open AAI telling NBC News, "The company is looking into these reports and will do whatever we can to support law enforcement in their investigation." 
Lemon and Bristie's disappearance sparked a frantic search. 
I spoke with Bristiey's brother before police declared this a murder case. 
>> This is definitely concerning and u my family's devastated. 
Now, following Friday's dramatic standoff with police, the alleged killer is behind bars. 
He faces numerous charges, including first-degree premeditated murder. 
Investigators discovered Lean's body on Friday, and right now they're working to identify another body found in the area. 
Tom, Jesse Kers for us. 
Jesse, we thank you for that one. 
We thank you for watching and remember, stay updated on breaking news and top stories on the NBC News app or watch live on our YouTube channel.
