Sudiksha Konanki’s story is believed to have come to a heartbreaking end.
It is believed that the University of Pittsburgh student—who was reported missing during a spring break trip to the Dominican Republic—died by drowning, officials told ABC News on Mar. 9.
Per the outlet, three officials from the Dominican Republic involved in the investigation said Konanki was walking on the beach with six other people on March 5 before she is believed to have drowned in the ocean.
According to a police report, cited by ABC News, most of the group went back to the hotel at some point during the night but one friend remained with Konanki, and the pair decided to go for a swim. The police report notes the pair were caught by a big wave.
The Dominican Republic Public Ministry told ABC News the last time Konanki, 20, was seen on the beach on security camera footage was around 4:15 in the morning of Mar. 6.
