Sudiksha Konanki, a 20-year-old University of Pittsburgh student, went missing on March 6 during a spring break trip to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic with her college friends. She was last seen on the beach in the early hours of that day, and it is believed that she stayed behind with people she met on the trip after her friends left. Her friends did not realize she was missing until 12 hours later, prompting an investigation by local authorities and international agencies including the FBI and U.S. Coast Guard.
The investigation into Konanki’s disappearance is ongoing, with a person of interest identified and interviewed by authorities. The case is being treated as a missing person case, and no suspects have been named. Konanki’s family has been working closely with investigators, and the Indian Embassy in the Dominican Republic is also involved in the search efforts.
Authorities have been searching beaches and monitoring the water to determine where a body would drift if someone drowned. They are interviewing her friends, hotel staff, and others who interacted with her, as well as looking into her phone and texts for clues. The sheriff’s office has also filed for Interpol to issue a yellow notice alerting authorities worldwide to her disappearance.
Despite the challenges in the search, authorities are maintaining hope that Konanki is still alive and are working tirelessly to follow up on every lead in the case.
