The last person to see missing University of Pittsburgh student Sudiksha Konanki claimed he saved her from the rough Caribbean waters before losing her in the darkness of night.
Minnesota college senior Joshua Riibe, 22, refused to answer several key questions as he described his final moments with Konaki before she vanished in the Dominican Republic eight days ago.
“I was a lifesaver. I grabbed her and pulled her out,” Riibe told the Public Ministry, according to a transcript obtained by Dominican Republic’s Noticas Sin.
Riibe, who was named a person of interest in the case, had traveled to the RIU Hotel & Resort in Punta Cana for spring break — the same five-star resort where Konanki was staying.
