The FBI has joined the eager search for Sudiksha Konanki, a 20-year-old University of Pittsburgh student who vanished almost a week ago while on spring break in the Dominican Republic’s Punta Cana, officials confirmed Tuesday.
Konanki was last seen in the early days of March 6 on a beach near the Riu República Hotel. According to Dominican officers, she was with a group of friends when she disappeared under strange conditions.

Vanished without a record
The resort released a declaration revealing that a power interruption occurred the day Konanki went missing, leading many guests to assemble on the seaside. It remains unclear whether this shutdown played a part in her departure.
Dominican President Luis Abinader acknowledged the growing fears, said,” We are deeply worried. Every state company is involved in the search”. He cited studies that a storm may include swept Konanki aside, based on the profile of the last person to see her.
Despite claims about holiday protection, the event has raised concern. Civil Defense Director Juan Salas denied studies that Konanki’s garments had been found, contradicting earlier advertising claims.
Family’s terrible appeal
Konanki, an American citizen and US permanent tenant from Chantilly, Virginia, had traveled to the Dominican Republic on March 3 with five other women college students. Her distraught kids, Subbarayudu and Sreedevi, flew to Punta Cana as soon as they learned she was missing.
” We really want our child back”, her papa said, urging authorities to develop the investigation.
