The last person to see her, Joshua Riibe, has returned to the U.S. after leaving the Dominican Republic amidst ongoing scrutiny. He claims to have tried to rescue Konanki from rough waters before she vanished. Recent investigations revealed her clothing items found at a beach resort, and while authorities have determined that Riibe can leave under certain conditions, he remains a central figure in the case.
