In the case of Sudiksha Konanki’s disappearance during spring break in Punta Cana, the main witness, Joshua Riibe, has reportedly departed the Dominican Republic. He was seen leaving on Wednesday on a flight from Santo Domingo.
Sources have informed Fox News that Riibe boarded a JetBlue plane at AILA airport in Santo Domingo bound for San Juan, Puerto Rico, within the last hour.
On Tuesday, March 18, 2025, Joshua Riibe was seen at a Dominican Republic courthouse with his father, Albert Riibe. He plays a crucial role as a witness in the Sudiksha Konanki case, an American college student who vanished while swimming at a Punta Cana beach on March 6. (Fox News Digital)
Riibe, 22, is believed to be one of the last people who saw Konanki, 20, before she vanished in the early morning hours of March 6 from the beach behind their resort, the Riu Republica in Punta Cana.
This comes a day after a Dominican Republic judge ruled in favor of Riibe’s writ of habeas corpus, giving him the ability to move freely within the country until another hearing on March 28.
