Associated Press·4M·FAQ
Sudiksha Konanki's family has requested a declaration of death from Dominican authorities, as they believe she likely drowned. The investigation continues with no signs of foul play, and Joshua Riibe, the last person to see her, is cooperating but has petitioned for a habeas corpus hearing.
The NCAA Tournament excitement around Cooper Flagg is unrelated to Sudiksha Konanki's case. The two are separate news stories, with the NCAA Tournament being a major sports event and Konanki's disappearance being a legal and investigative matter.
