It is believed that clues indicating the whereabouts of a University of Pittsburgh student who disappeared in Punta Cana may be found on her social media platforms detailing her activities prior to going missing.
Sudiksha Konanki, aged 20 and residing in Virginia, was last sighted strolling along the beach near Riu Republica Resort in Punta Cana during the early hours of March 6 as per reports from authorities.
During the ongoing investigation into Konanki’s final movements in the Dominican Republic before her disappearance, a digital transaction could offer insights to authorities about her movements.

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.
