Overview

• Sudiksha Konanki, a 20-year-old University of Pittsburgh student, vanished on March 6 during a spring break trip to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.
• Konanki was last seen around 4:15 a.m. walking on the beach with a group; most returned to their hotel, but she stayed with one man who claims she was swept away by a wave during a swim.
• Her father disputes the drowning theory, urging authorities to investigate possible abduction, citing the lack of evidence such as a body washing ashore.
• The FBI, U.S. Embassy, Dominican National Police, and other agencies are collaborating on the investigation, with no suspects or arrests made so far.
• Concerns about safety at the resort, including a power outage and insufficient warnings about ocean conditions, have been raised by other guests.
