Authorities in Virginia have identified a person of interest in connection to University of Pittsburgh student Sudiksha Konanki’s mysterious disappearance last week in the Dominican Republic.
Iowa resident Joshua Riibe, 24, “has been interviewed at length,” Thomas Julia, a spokesperson for the sheriff’s office in Loudoun County, where the missing college student is from, told Fox News Digital.
However, Riibe has not been accused of foul play in what is “still a missing person case, not a criminal case,” the sheriff’s spokesperson stressed.
“Sheriff [Michael] Chapman wants to make sure the investigation is comprehensive and includes all possible assets and techniques,” Julia said.
“We are working closely with the FBI on all of this, and they are working with the Dominican National Police.”
