Intensified Search for Missing U.S. College Student in the Dominican Republic

Authorities continue to investigate the disappearance of Sudiksha Konanki, a college student from Pittsburgh, who went missing while on spring break in the Dominican Republic. The search efforts have intensified with the involvement of the FBI and local law enforcement. Initial reports indicate that the night of her disappearance was chaotic, partly due to a power outage at the resort where she was staying. Investigators are treating the case as accidental, although some speculation remains regarding the circumstances of her disappearance, including theories of drowning and other potential foul play. Surveillance footage has shown Konanki leaving the resort, but her last known whereabouts remain unclear. As the search expands across land, air, and water, her family has urged authorities to broaden their efforts in locating her. The community and local leaders are actively providing updates while hoping for a positive outcome.
