Man Last Seen With Missing Student Sudiksha Konanki No Longer Under Supervision, ‘Ready To Go Home’
LOADING ERROR LOADING An American college student detained in the Dominican Republic following the disappearance of fellow American student Sudiksha Konanki is no longer under police surveillance but is not free to return to the U.S., a judge ruled Tuesday. Appearing before a judge, Riibe, 22, who has not been charged with a crime or declared a suspect in Konanki’s disappearance, said he has helped local law enforcement with their investigation, has received support from Konanki’s family and that he’s “ready to go home and go back to my life,” according to ABC News, which reported that a follow-up hearing has been scheduled for March 28. Sudiksha Konanki/Facebook “Her mother gave me a hug and said, ‘Thank you for saving my daughter the first time,’” Riibe reportedly told the court. Civil defense boats search for Sudiksha Konanki, a university student from the U.S. who disappeared on a beach in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, on March 10. via Associated Press “I understand I’m here to help, but it’s been 10 days and I can’t leave,” he told the court. In a statement after the hearing, they thanked the court “for recognizing the rule of law and ensuring respect for his fundamental rights as a foreign citizen in the Dominican Republic.” Konanki’s parents, reading a statement on camera this week, said that they’ve been told that the water was extremely rough at the time of her disappearance and that they have accepted that their daughter likely drowned.
