In recent news, Konanki’s family has requested that she be declared dead, despite her body not being found.

This sorrowful request underscores the confusion surrounding the case. Authorities have named 24-year-old Joshua Riibe from Iowa as a person of interest in Konanki’s disappearance. Riibe was reportedly the last individual seen with her before she went missing. However, officials have stated that the case is still being treated as a missing persons investigation rather than a criminal one, as referenced here. In recent news, a judge in the Dominican Republic just granted a request for freedom for Riibe (here).

The release of the yellow notice has sparked significant speculation online about what might have happened to Konanki.

Several theories have emerged, with people questioning whether she might have drowned or was possibly kidnapped. However, no evidence has emerged to support any of these theories, and authorities have yet to determine a cause for her disappearance.

Are there sharks in Punta Cana?

With claims that Konanki may have drowned, people are also questioning if there are sharks in the Punta Cana waters.

It turns out that there are sharks in the waters around Punta Cana, located in the Dominican Republic.

However, shark attacks are extremely rare in this area. The types of sharks found in the region are typically not considered dangerous to humans, including species like the nurse shark and the reef shark. Most sharks in the area are more focused on fish and other marine life rather than humans.
