New information has shown that other people were on the beach when the US student Sudiksha Konanki was missing in the Dominican Republic. CNN announced law enforcement officers who supported the investigation when the search went into their seventh day.

The 20-year-old student of the University of Pittsburgh disappeared into the beach of the Riu República Hotel in Punta Cana at the beginning of March 6 and triggered a hectic search for air, sea and land, where the authorities from the USA, the Dominican Republic and India, where the family of Konanki comes.

Video evidence indicates additional people who were missing at the time when Konanki was missing beyond a young man who had told the police that he had been there with her, said the law enforcement officers who were supported in the probe. The investigators try to identify these people while asking to obtain information about Konanki.

CNN did not see the film material.

Since other people were on the beach on March 6, the possibility that Konanki may have met one or more of them without discovering without discovering.

Dominican officials had previously announced that Konankis disappear as drowning. However, the Attorney General said that Wednesday officials were to investigate whether Konankis disappeared “beyond a possible accidental event”.

Konanki, who comes from Loudoun County, Virginia, traveled to Punta Cana with five friends from her school. The women drank on March 6 on March 6 on March 6, before the surveillance cameras conquered them to the hotel beach with two men at 4:15 a.m., according to a source of the law enforcement agencies and the police statements.

The cameras later conquered five women and a man who left the beach around 4:55 a.m. – but Konanki seems to have stayed with a man in the 20s, said sources CNN. The surveillance cameras recorded the man shortly before 9 a.m., but Konanki was nowhere to be seen.

Konanki's cover-up in the Sarong style was found on a lounge chair on the beach, but there were no signs of violence, a source that was familiar with the examination, said CNN.

In his interviews with the police, the young man, who was the last known person with Konanki before she disappeared into the water, felt sick. The next memory of the man woke up and left the beach hours later, they said.

The man cooperates with the investigation, and the police do not consider him a suspect.

The disappearance of Konanki comes almost two months after four tourists in Punta Cana drowned on the same beach, where Konanki was last seen, according to the civil protection authority of the Dominican Republic. The tourists defeated strong currents in front of the Arena Gorda Beach, where the Riu República Hotel is located, the civil protection authority announced on January 18 in a Facebook contribution.

On Wednesday, the state's Attorney General, Yeni Berenice Reynoso, said “apply a holistic examination protocol that examines all variables” in Konankis “disappear as if there is disappearing under the circumstances of the case”.

Konanki's family and Loudoun County Sheriff Mike Chapman have asked the authorities to take other options into account.

Konanki's parents, subbarayudu and Sreedevi Konanki, returned to Punta Cana to Virginia this week. Subbarayudu, Konanki's father, asked the authorities to expand the investigation.

The father's formal request notes that the belongings of the students, including their telephone and wallet, remain with their friends, “which is unusual because she always carried her phone with her,” he wrote in the report, according to WTOP WTOP, as the AP reports. It is unclear where this information came from.

Subbarayudu previously said CNN that he wanted to investigate the local authorities “also other options, including the question of whether this is a case of kidnapping or human trafficking”.
