GATHERING EVIDENCE

Missing Student’s Clothing Found on Beach Where She Vanished

Some of Sudiksha Konanki’s clothes were found on a beach chair.

The New York Post reports that according to local news outlets in the Dominican Republic, clothing belonging to missing student Sudiksha Konanki was found on a beach chair on the same beach where she was last seen over a week ago. New photos show a white sarong draped over a beach chair and a pair of beige flip-flops next to the chair, both of which look incredibly similar to what Konanki was wearing on the night of her disappearance. Authorities told local news outlet CDN that there was no evidence of anyone tampering with the clothing, and that they believe she left the clothing on the chair before jumping into the ocean. While authorities haven’t ruled out foul play—a college student is currently considered a person of interest in the case—initial theories from authorities suggested that Konanki drowned. An investigation into her disappearance is ongoing.
