The search for Sudiksha Konanki, a University of Pittsburgh student who went missing in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, has intensified. Joshua Riibe, a Minnesota student who met with Konanki on the night of her disappearance, is not a suspect but has been detained by Dominican police. Riibe claims they were pulled out to sea by a tide while kissing in waist-deep water before he swam her back to shore. Riibe’s parents have accused officials of irregularly detaining him without proper legal counsel. The FBI is also involved in the investigation. The situation remains unresolved, with Riibe’s attorney requesting his release from custody.
