More than a week after the disappearance of a University of Pittsburgh student in the Dominican Republic, her alleged companion has made a statement. Joshua Riibe, a college student from Minnesota, is reportedly the last person to see Sudiksha Konanki alive. He told investigators that he had just met Konanki the same evening she went missing. Riibe said they had been drinking with a group, but stayed behind on the beach. The two were embraced while in the ocean when a large wave reportedly slammed into them. Riibe said he thought he successfully brought Konanki back to shore before he passed out. He said he last saw her walking at an angle in knee deep water.
