The family of Sudiksha Konanki, a 20-year-old Indian student missing in the Dominican Republic since March 6, has asked local police to declare her dead. Despite an extensive search, her body has not been found. Authorities have confiscated the passport of Joshua Steven Riibe, the last person seen with her, though he is not a suspect. Konanki, a permanent U.S. resident, disappeared from a Punta Cana beach after a night out. Her parents, trusting the investigation, acknowledged no suspected foul play. U.S. and Dominican authorities continue their probe into the case.
