The parents of missing University of Pittsburgh student Sudiksha Konanki has asked police in the Dominican Republic to declare her dead, a police spokesman said.
Dominican Republic National Police spokesperson Diego Pesqueira said Konanki’s family has sent the agency a letter requesting a declaration of death.
Konanki, 20, was on spring break with friends in the Caribbean island nation when she disappeared early March 6. Despite an extensive search, her body has not been found.

No way she drowned bro no way!!!!!!!!!! Water wakes people upppp or drugged or not drunk or not !
He or they drugged her before w.e went into the water! 😢😢😢 there blaming him …they set him up 😢😢😢😢😢idk so many things
Prayers sad when your children go missing im part of black and missing families this saddens my heart
Nobody sent her to DR
I heard black American men kidnapped her. It’s time to make sure black American men can’t leave the U.S.
I've been following this story for about a week and let me just say this. The guy's story makes no sense. As a woman- There is NO way after hooking up with a guy and the guy saves my life and is vomiting on the beach alone that i would just walk off carelessly by myself without communicating anything. That is just not normal behavior.
She went off with a stranger and never came back. Her parents didn't tell her about stranger danger.
As he is beautiful. I’m sorry for your loss❤ in the case with Natalie Holloway and this young girl. Friends should stay together or insist they stay together. Not wander on foreign land on islands by themselves.. You’re in an unfamiliar place. You could walk into bad areas swim in waters. You’re not prepared for run into animals. We don’t have in the states.
😊
Something doesn't add up..I hope she's found.❤️
Lock his sorry …. up
Why would the parents ask for a declaration, to me that’s seems off
I pray she is found🙏🏼😭
I saw the video of both going to the beach and she seems walking wobbly, he had to hold her.
Blame DR for letting him go!! DR letting ppl get away with murder. They don't care about american cases…they did the same with Shanquella Robinson.. they had evidence of who did it and still let them go
So sad and someone knows something
GOD GIVE THIS CHILD PARENTS PATIENCE. AND WAIT A. LITTLE
Why isnt more scrutiny on the drunk last seen with her
He murdered her .
She got trafficked. Very sad.
Sadly, this is the reality that families and friends face. However, there is always hope. 🙏
Dang she was hot too
The fact that they are so quick to give up in finding her makes me question them 🤔
Why would you let you kid go to another country that young and being a female
She is not dead! Keep looking in kidnapping human trafficking organizations. She is exactly what the type the want for sexual exploitation. Keep searching for her ❤
I wanted to believe him but I can’t shake the inconsistency in his story. The fact that he just “fell asleep “ after such a traumatic incident. He didn’t tell anyone until he was asked. Men like to brag and talk about their wild night of almost drowning and saving a life but he didn’t tell anyone. I have a theory of what happened… I picked apart his statement and came up with this …. They were kissing in the water. He became aggressive. She tried to scream but no one was around to hear her. In order to quiet her he got her in a headlock with his right arm and choked her out. Then he walked her out knee deep in the water and pushed her out. Then he sat down on the bench and waited to make sure her body didn’t come back. Once he got tired of the sun and mosquitoes he walked back to the hotel and didn’t say anything until asked. I could be wrong 😬
You don’t get drunk and go to swim I hope everyone will learn from this .. 😢😢😢
Who’s the guy that was all over her walking out of the bar. That’s the guy.
The family wants closure I would presume, terrible.
What kind of parents would even consider sending their daughter to a drunken, degenerate, orgy in a third world country where the local police are little more than armed thugs? What could possibly go wrong?
Unfortunately this little lapse of common sense will end up costing American tax payers hundreds of millions of dollors, with no possibility of resolution ever!
Rip
Idk why people go there
Guy has guilty look to him.
The parents of the missing girl should have wanted a bit longer and should not have asked the police them to declare her dead and those so-called friends of hers they shouldn't have left the girl with that person in the first place with friends like them who needs enemy and that is my opinion 😢😢😢😢😢
I honestly can't believe a father, just with 11 days after his daughter's disappearance, wants to declare her dead. What? It's unbelievable! Sudiksha's father should be more concerned about his daughter disappearance than the “shame,” Sudiksha has brought on the Indian community, its customs, and in their Indian values. Please don't do this to your daughter. Don't make Joshua Riibe’s life so easy because he was the last person who saw your sweet and beautiful daughter alive.! Sr. He knows much more than the three different statements he gave to the authorities in the Dominican Republic.
I am deeply sorry for what both parents are going through; it is serious in deep. But the truth must come out.
