Sudiksha Konanki case: Clothes of missing Indian-American found at Dominican Republic beach where she vanished

Surveillance footage shows the resemblance of clothes from the night Konanki disappeared. It further shows she was going with Joshua Riibe, 22, who is senior at Minnesota’s St Cloud State University around 4:15 am near the beach. Law enforcement say that she fell into the ocean and drowned, however, not refusing the foul play angle.
