Amanda Knox knows exactly what Joshua Riibe is feeling right now.

The senior at St. Cloud University in Minnesota, who is believed to be among the last people to see University of Pittsburgh student Sudiksha Konanki in the Dominican Republic, left the Caribbean country on March 19, his lawyers said.

Riibe was holed up in the resort Riu Republica in Punta Cana under strict police monitoring for 11 days before a judge ruled the situation violated Dominican law. The 22-year-old’s restrictions also included confiscating his cellphone and passport.

“The disappearance of Sudiksha Konanki is tragic, and we cannot imagine the grief her family has been feeling,” he said. “Sudiksha’s family has expressed their belief that she drowned. While a final decision to make such a declaration rests with authorities in the Dominican Republic, we will support the Konanki family in every way possible.”
