American College Student Missing in Dominican Republic After Late-Night Beach Incident

Sudiksha Konanki, 20, vanished after entering rough waters with a fellow spring breaker, who claims to have rescued her but failed to provide critical answers during questioning.

Sudiksha Konanki, a University of Pittsburgh student, disappeared on March 6 after entering the ocean at a Punta Cana beach despite red-flag warnings of dangerous surf.
Joshua Riibe, a fellow spring breaker and the last person seen with Konanki, claims he rescued her from strong waves but lost sight of her as she walked in knee-deep water.
Riibe declined to answer eight key questions during police interviews, including why he did not report the incident to authorities or provide further details about Konanki's condition.
Surveillance footage shows Konanki and Riibe walking to the beach together early in the morning, but she was not seen returning with the group later that day.
Authorities have not ruled out foul play but continue to investigate the case as a missing person incident, urging anyone with information to come forward.
