The Search for Sudiksha Konanki: Key Details

The search continues for a University of Pittsburgh student who disappeared last week while on spring break in the Dominican Republic.

Sudiksha Konanki, 20, was last seen early on Thursday, March 6. Surveillance footage shows her seemingly entering the beach at the Hotel Riu in Punta Cana with a friend, who is currently being investigated.

Police were notified of her disappearance on Friday at 8 a.m. after receiving a call from the U.S. embassy. Since then, officials have been working with the Dominican Republic Air Force, Navy, Fire Department, and hotel staff, conducting a search by sea, air, and land with the help of canine units. Divers, drones, and helicopters are also being used in the search.

The Dominican Republic National Police stated in a March 9 statement that further details about Konanki, a U.S. permanent resident and Indian citizen, will be released as the investigation progresses.

The State Department told TIME in an email that they are aware of the reports of the missing University of Pittsburgh student in the Dominican Republic, but have no further details to share due to privacy concerns. The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office confirmed on Sunday that they are collaborating with the Department of State, FBI, DEA, Homeland Security Investigations, and University of Pittsburgh police to assist with the investigation.

The Dominican Republic has a level 2 travel advisory, advising visitors to exercise increased caution due to crime.

In a statement on Sunday, the University of Pittsburgh said they are in contact with Konanki’s family and local authorities, urging anyone with information to contact the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office, offering their full support to find her and bring her home safely.

Here’s what we know.

What happened?

Konanki arrived in the Dominican Republic on March 3 with five friends. She went missing after 4:15 a.m. on March 6, the last time she was seen on video surveillance entering the beach area with others, according to the Dominican Republic National Police.

In an interview, Konanki’s father said his daughter went to the beach early that morning with her friends and other men they met at the hotel. “Her friends came back after some time and my daughter did not come back,” said Subbarayudu Konanki.

Officials said a young man also entered the beach, and they are working to verify his account of events.

While some local officials appear to have told media outlets about a possible drowning, the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office told TIME on Monday that those reports were “speculative” and that there is “no evidence of this at this time.”

The prosecutor’s office and other investigators are interviewing Konanki’s friends to determine where she went missing and to search the surrounding area. Konanki’s father told CNN that he wants authorities to investigate the possibility of kidnapping or human trafficking. “We don’t think she would be able to survive for more than three days in the water and I think something else might’ve happened to her,” he said.

The Riu hotel chain has not yet responded to TIME’s request for comment.

Konanki’s parents are traveling to Punta Cana, according to reports.

The Indian Embassy stated in a Facebook post that they are in contact with Konanki’s parents and are providing all possible assistance in coordination with the Dominican Republic government authorities.
