A University of Pittsburgh student who went missing on the picturesque beaches of Punta Cana may have left clues on her social media accounts regarding her movements in the days leading up to her disappearance. 

Sudiksha Konanki, a 20-year-old Virginia resident, was last seen walking on the beach outside the Riu Republica Resort in Punta Cana in the early hours of March 6, according to authorities. 

As investigators work to piece together Konanki’s final moments in the Dominican Republic before vanishing, an online payment could help authorities retrace her steps.

Ticket prices start at $90, with the baseline price including access to the club’s open bar. 

“This place is something else,” one TikTok user commented. “I don’t remember getting back home.” 

Coco Bongo did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment. 

As the search for Konanki enters its second week, authorities are still trying to determine what happened to the missing college student. 

Footage obtained by Noticias SIN shows Konanki, along with a group of friends, walking toward the five-star resort’s beach after a night out. Konanki was last seen around 4:15 a.m. before she disappeared, according to authorities. 

The investigation into Konanki’s disappearance remains ongoing. Authorities have said there are no suspects and that it is a missing person case, not a criminal case.

The U.S. Embassy in the Dominican Republic, the Dominican Prosecutor’s Office and the Dominican National police are conducting a joint investigation with assistance from the FBI.
