YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The devastated parents of missing University of Pittsburgh student Sudiksha Konanki are now convinced she drowned while on spring break in the Dominican Republic, they revealed to The Post Tuesday.

“Both sides of the authorities have shown us how high the ocean waves were at the time of the incident, and both sides of the authorities have clarified the person of interest was not a suspect from the beginning,” Subbarayudu Konanki, the missing co-ed’s father, said from the family home in Virginia.

“It is with deep sadness and a heavy heart that we are coming to terms with the fact our daughter has drowned,” he said. “This is incredibly difficult for us to process.”

They also asked that Joshua Riibe, the 22-year-old Iowan who was the last to see Konanki alive, be allowed to leave the Caribbean nation, where he has been detained while the investigation into the disappearance continued.
