SURVEILLANCE has captured missing student Sudiskha Konanki walking with a man just moments before she disappeared during a spring break trip.

The final sighting emerged after the 20-year-old student’s family blasted Dominican Republic cops’ claims that she drowned in the ocean after a night of partying and called for a kidnapping investigation.

Konanki, a 20-year-old University of Pittsburgh student, disappeared in the early hours of March 6 from the Riu Republic Resort in Punta Cana, where she was staying with five friends.

The surveillance video obtained by Noticias SIN captured the group walking to the beach at around 4 am after dancing at the resort’s disco.

The crew ran into the water and finally turned in at around 5:50 am, but Konanki stayed behind with Joshua Steven Ribe, a travel companion she had met on the trip, cops told Dominican news outlet El Nacional.

Investigators said Ribe gave them three different accounts of what happened that night, all of which involved him ditching Konanki in the surf.

At first, he said he threw up in the rough waters and then got out of the ocean after asking Konanki if she was going to be OK.

Then, he told detectives that he saw the student standing in knee-deep water before he stumbled out of the ocean and passed out drunk on the beach.

And after that, he said he saw the student walking along the shore before he fell asleep and woke up with her nowhere in sight.

Ribe hasn’t been accused of any wrongdoing, and there’s no sign of foul play, according to the cops. It’s unclear whether he’s the man captured in the surveillance.

When approached for comment by reporters, Ribe’s dad said he had nothing to share.

KIDNAPPING CLAIMS

Since she disappeared, Konanki’s heartbroken parents have made it clear they believe foul play could be involved.

Subbarayudu Konanki, the missing student’s father, filed a complaint on Monday to expand search efforts after helicopters, drones, and scuba divers were unable to locate any sign of her, he told WTOP-TV.

“So far, they have not been able to find my daughter,” he told the local news agency.

In another interview, he said, “She’s not found, so we’re asking them to investigate multiple options, like kidnapping or abduction.”

The complaint pointed out that all of Konanki’s belongings were left with her friends, which is strange because she always had her phone on her.

Further deepening the mystery is that her friends didn’t report her missing until 4 pm that evening, about 14 hours after they last saw her.

Konanki’s case has drawn disturbing comparisons to that of Natalee – a 17-year-old high school student who was murdered by Joran van der Sloot during a trip to Aruba in 2005.

Prosecutors said van der Sloot, a silver spoon Netherlands native staying in the country, bashed Natalee’s skull with a rock and threw her body in the ocean after she refused his sexual advances.

Van der Sloot didn’t admit to the murder until 2023 and is currently in jail in Peru, serving time for killing a different woman.

TJ Ward, a private investigator who worked for the Holloway after the teen’s case went cold, is now calling for detectives to take a hard look at Konanki’s disappearance.

“I don’t think that she drowned in the ocean,” he told Fox News.

“I totally believe that somebody knows something – where she is, or somebody took her away, or somebody’s holding her somewhere.”

According to Ward, law enforcement should ensure to corroborate Ribe’s claims on what happened that fateful night, especially as her body evades crews.

“If she had gone into the water, she wouldn’t washed up somewhere with a tide the way that comes into the island,” he said.
